About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Ocean Front 3 BR, 1 level Condo . Pool, SPA , huge Lanai . Pickle Ball

This is a spacious (1300 square feet) ground level, three bedroom, two bathroom, ocean view condominium, in the very popular, upscale Makahuena Resort located in the center of Poipu. It's size and internal layout provides spacious comfort for as many as 8 but works perfectly well and is priced for smaller groups. You might want to invite your family or friends to share the cost as they will be comfortable too. Check our monthly rates as we encourage longer stays.

View our guest comments to see why our condo is so popular.

The resort complex sits on a cliff overlooking the ocean providing an unforgettable view and experience. You can view both sunrise and sunset from the site 'Point' a few steps from our lanai where the sound of the ocean and it's spray is breathtaking.


The Makahuena is in the center of the Poipu golf world including being walking distance from Poipu Bay, former site of the Grand Slam of golf. The Makahuena contains it's own tennis and pickleball facility (a rare commodity in Poipu condo complexes) bringing those sports steps from our unit. Top rated sandy beaches that provide sunbathing and surfing are less than a ten minute walk to the east (Shipwreck Beach) and to the west (Brennecke's Beach). Brennecke's beach has a breakwater that provides protected beaches for toddlers and calm waters for snorkelers.

IMPORTANT ITEM
If you are traveling with children or people that enjoy the pool or spa, ground floor units such as ours have a huge benefit in the ease of access to these popular items. From our unit, you are step free seconds away from the pool gate to enjoy or check your kids swimming. The Makahuena is made up largely of three story buildings with no elevators, and pool access from upper units requires many steps to the opposite side of the pool then walking around the buildings. A somewhat time consuming and strenuous task.

FLOOR PLAN

The floor plan is all contained on one level eliminating the need to climb stairs to bedrooms or second bathrooms. Our seniors especially appreciate this convenience but everyone loves it. Additionally, the ground level location allows step free access to the impeccably maintained grounds, pool, spa, barbecue, view point, and other entertainment areas.
The kitchen was completed renovated in November 2014; new granite counter tops, Solid Mahogany door and drawer fronts provide a stunning look. Elegant Tile Flooring was installed in all three bedrooms adding a very upscale look and providing a cooler (temperature) unit.

A brand new Mitsubishi top of the line air conditioning system was installed in June 2022 which provides greatly increased comfort in every room even when the trade winds slow .

Sleeping Accommodation

There are 3 bedrooms: The Master Suite, a smaller Suite and a 3rd bedroom.

The master suite is a large bedroom containing a brand new Simmons Beautyrest king bed (10/23). It has it's own bathroom which contains two large counters (his and hers) instead of the usual one. This bedroom opens directly to the lanai providing it's own ocean view and instant access to the beautiful grounds and all it's features.

The second large bedroom also has a King Bed and both of these bedrooms have their own televisions.

The third bedroom is smaller, but large enough to contain a brand new Beautiful Bunk Bed and an adjacent Queen Bed. If this bedroom is not needed it makes an excellent location to store luggage and golf clubs.

Additionally the living room contains a brand new (10/23) top of the line Lazy Boy Queen Sleeper for added sleeping capacity.

Summary of Sleeping arrangements:

Bedroom 1.

Primary Master Suite, King bed, with own Full Bathroom with his and her's sinks. Direct Access to Lanai, Pool , Spa and Grounds.
High Definition TV

Bedroom 2.
Junior Suite with King Bed. Full bathroom in adjacent room.
LG High Definition TV

Bedroom 3
1 Queen Bed and 1 Bunk Bed

Living Room
New Lazy Boy Queen sleeper

The unit has been recently redecorated including some new furniture and beautiful tile and paint. Three new (10/23) Lazy Boy swivel recliners adjacent to the new Queen Sleeper, are great additions for comfort and conversation and TV watching on the new 65" Samsung HD TV. In addition to streaming, A major Cable Company is included.

We are very High Tech

The unit has a High Speed Internet Connection with a wireless router making web contact especially convenient.

A new 65" Samsung HD really Smart TV was added in the living room in May 2019. All the major streaming services are available so don't forget your passwords. Incredibly vivid picture.

The Poipu Beach Area

Poipu Beach is Kauai's most desirable area and was recently rated the #1 beach in all of America. You will love your stay at the Makahuena and in particular in this condominium. The unit is easily large enough for two (even 3) couples to share with adequate privacy. There are three HD televisions.

The Best Family Trip

Our stay at Makahuena Resort was nothing short of perfection. The location exceeded our expectations with perfect viewing for sunrises, sunsets and even whale and sea turtle sightings! The kids loved playing in the pool daily and it was just a short 3 min drive to several beaches. Every single bed was very comfortable and clean. The property manager was always prompt to respond to emails and texts and was always available. We will definitely plan to return in the near future!

Great location/awesome place!

This was an excellent place for our family. It was very comfortable and close to lots of fun things to do. Recommend this if you like being close to the ocean, beaches, turtles, diving or shopping. It was also a very well stocked kitchen.

Fantastic Stay

This was our 6th trip to the Poipu Beach area but the closest we’ve ever been to the ocean. Absolutely amazing location and amenities. The Pickleball courts alone made this property a game changer. Wonderful accommodations would love to go back.

Perfect week in Kauai for family of 6

Perfect Kauai getaway! We had a fantastic time at the condo in Poipu. The location was ideal, with stunning ocean views and easy access to the beaches and everywhere else on the island. The condo itself was clean and well-equipped, and the spacious outdoor space was perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. We would highly recommend this property anyone looking for a beautiful and relaxing Kauai vacation especially for a large group of people.

Fantastic stay for large family + MIL

We are a large family (2 parents, 4 kids aged 7-15 and a MIL), and we had a lovely stay over the halloween week. I was there for a conference at the nearby Grand Hyatt (easy beautiful walk), and the rooms accomodated us wonderfully. Nearby ameneties and shops as needed, and lots of local gems to be found. Easy access to the pool for the kids was great, and a short walk to watch the sunrise in the morning with a coffee in hand was magical. Extremely responsive staff, but the property was well prepared enough that I never needed to see them in person throughout the week. Check in was seamless. If I needed another place to stay in Kauai for a meeting in the future, or just in general, I will definitely keep an eye out for this property.
