Great Condo, Great location!

This property was clean and cozy, with a nice, large kitchen. Utensils, pots and pans were acceptable. Only a few minute walk to Poipu Beach, where the sea turtles are every afternoon. I would stay here again.

Great Stay

Spent two weeks here and enjoyed every minute. All the comforts of home in paradise. Nice to be only a few steps from your car, grill and also the pool and cliffs for sunset. All main beaches are an easy 10 min walk away. Looking forward to another extended stay in the future.

First visit to Kauai

We had a great stay! The location is excellent. The property amenities were very nice. The condo was quiet, comfortable and well equipped. There are beach towels/chairs/cooler to use. The condo unit is a ground floor, so you don't get the trade wind breezes. The ceiling fans were running the entire time, but they are not high enough velocity. We ended up purchasing a Vornado fan at Walmart to help move the air better. Would love to have had blackout curtains on the primary bedroom as there are outdoor property lights on all night.

About the host

Hosted by Peter Ross

I am a retired Boeing Engineer; My wife is a retired College Professor. We have been coming to Poipu since 1982. Makahuena has been in our sight over most of this time as the most desirable place along Poipu shores. We were finally able to purchase this unit in 2006 and with a total upgrade has become our second home. We rent it selectively to ease the burden of ownership expenses, not as an investment property.
We hope all prospective renters will enjoy it as we do and take care of it as we do.

Why they chose this property

One of the reasons we chose to buy our unit in Makahuena is that this is a ownership facility (no RCI presence). Consequently we get to know our neighbors and we all have a very intense vested interest in the maintenance and use of our facilities. Further it is located strategically near excellent beaches and the center of activity in Poipu.

What makes this property unique

Some of the unique benefits of our unit being on the ground floor are direct access to the swimming pool and hot tub; a sheltered garden with a view of the ocean located 300 ft from our lanai; direct access to path that leads to benches on the edge of the ocean on the back of Makahuena; and finally within 15 minute walking distance from either Poipu Beach or Ship wreck beach (behind the Grand Hyatt Regency). Most of all many wonderful friends come here, as we do, to enjoy this wonderful paradise.
