Nice place to be, great views, whales everyday and turtles just over the edge of the cliff. Didn’t care for the access and parking, 30 stairs from unit to the car. Dated, a little run down. I’d rated it as average (3) but that gives too negative of a vibe. Management got us in early- but then used that as the reason it was in better condition…

All I can say is when we come back next year I hope they let us stay here.

We were able to check in early (11am) because the property was cleaned the previous day. The view from the lanai was fantastic! Didn't see any whales but saw dolphins. The property is a little older and the pool was just sad, but they include access to the Athletic club which has a resort-caliber pool and amenities. The living room sofa and chair were also a bit past their prime. There is access to a lava rock shore that is quite impressive. Had to be careful about food on the counters because there were tiny ants that would gather if anything was left out - to be expected in Hawaii - especially an older ground-floor condo. Would definitely consider staying here again!

The 2 bedroom unit was nicely appointed, well equipped and came with a lovely club membership that included swim, pickleball, tennis, fitness and a nice casual restaurant.
We loved the sound of the ocean waves crashing on the lava rocks beyond our unit. Sitting on the terrace or the rocks below and watching the sunset was such a treat!
The unit was well located for most of our activities (hiking, dining, snorkeling, spelunking, golf, sea turtle watching and more). Each evening we had a rousing game before falling asleep to amazing stars!
We could have used another week!

Couldn't be a better location for turtle watching, sunsets, and central to island sightseeing. Would recommend to anyone. Neighbors had the Aloha Spirit.

Very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is stocked with everything you would have in your kitchen at home. Master bedroom was cozy with a comfortable mattress. Extra pillows in the closet. Very nice patio with comfortable furniture. Watched every sunset from the lounge chairs. Loved listening to the waves crashing on the rocks below as we went to sleep and waking up to such a beautiful view. We will definitely try to stay here again. We enjoyed our visit to this beautiful island. Management was responsive when texting a question.

The building is super easy to get to plus it’s close to everything.If you need a big car or struggle with backing in this is not the place for you. It’s tight especially on the lower level.
The unit is nice and the air conditioning worked well. The second bedroom smelled like a cat lived in it so did the second bathroom. We didn’t use them but beware.The primary bathroom is nice and the bed was super comfortable. There were plenty of pillows and blankets throughout. I only wish the linens were a little nicer.
The sunset views are spectacular! We had dinner on the patio a few nights. This unit is not an easy walk to a sandy beach. You will need to drive there. There are ants everywhere, kitchen, bathroom, living room. They are small but you can’t leave anything on the counter.
The unit doesn’t feel private. An hour after checkin, my wife just got out of the shower and a maintenance man let himself in to install a blind. We had no warning.
There is no blinds on the kitchen window and people walking through the unit can see in.
Second day we were leaving for dinner and there was a blender on the doorstep. Again no warning.
Later in the week we received a notice they needed us out of the unit to spray for bugs. Great but that day we had plans and needed the unit to get ready. Thirty minutes before they were scheduled to start, my wife gets walked in on by the exterminator. She was dressed but 2nd instance.
Even with all the issues we still had a great time.

The property was even better then listed in pictures. Condo was super clean and had all the amenities as far as beach chairs, boogie boards, umbrellas. Easy check in process and the host/manager were very communicative. Kitchen was well appointed with everything you need. Great location was paramount, spent most days watching water, turtles, sunset and stars. Thank you for a 5 star experience, we will be back!

We enjoyed this lovely home for our family trip to Kauai! The rental had everything we needed for a relaxing trip. We especially loved the sunset view from the lanai right on the water. With just a short walk down the beach path, we also had a great sunrise view. Having the beach equipment - umbrella, chairs, beach towels was really helpful. The air conditioning worked well and kept us comfortable. The owner was very responsive and corrected one issue. We appreciated the available parking, but be aware that there are steps from the parking to the unit when you have luggage to manage.

Previous 2 stays were at the condo just down the road from where we stay this was a 2 story condo and at our age requested a single story condo because my wife has a hard time with stairs. The E-1 was a very nice unit with no stair in the unit, BuTTT it was necessary to navigate 27 stairs to just get to the entrance door. Everytime we had to leave for somethig it meant navigating the 27 stairs, so the rep must not have been familiar with the property.Only thing about the condo was the eletric stove top. all burner knobs were worn and mis labels as far as the power controls. Burned many a dinner before we just stopped using stove top. Nice property except for that,

The Poipu Makai has a stunning location and view right outside the patio.
The week was humid and we were thankful for the highly effective and quiet air conditioning, which made for good nights sleep. The beds and couch were very comfortable with ample linens and towels. It was very nice to have a dishwasher and laundry. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to cook. We cooked all of our meals here.
The location couldn’t be better. We were able to walk to Poipu beach after dinner to watch sunsets. It was an easy drive to several beaches and Waimea canyon. The condo and surrounding area was quiet, peaceful, and well maintained.
There is a small short path just outside the condo that led down to the lava rock shore. We went down there several times because it was so accessible and easy. It was fun to explore the shore this way, especially with kids.
Check in process was easy and communication was great. I would recommend staying here and would do so again!

Awesome ocean views from multiple rooms. Well-equipped and decorated home.

Amazing location, stunning view. It's possible to see turtles (we saw them every day!) and dolphins (we saw them once) right from the edge. The are great cliff walks very nearby, and beaches you can walk to in both directions. Stand up, look along the coast to your right, and there are stunning sunsets every evening!
The apartment was well stocked, and comfortable. The only thing is you'll be arguing about who has the bedroom with the view!
Everything was good about our stay. The only thing was the freezer was frozen shut when we got there! We manager to pry it open so we could make ice cubes, and use it for ice cream of course!
There was plenty of kitchenware, bedding, and there were some towels for the beach.
Sitting at the outside table was a delight, morning and night!
Thank you for making your accommodation available to us!

Truly enjoyed staying at this property. It was clean, tidy, and inviting. Decor and amenities were on point. No issues. I even liked the exterior condo suite entry door that provided us some additional peace of mind when using the screen door for air flow. Great location as Poipu/Koloa has a lot of options available. But the truly exceptional feature is the view from the lanai. We loved sitting outside to view the sunrises, sunsets, and everything in between. It was very cathartic. Everyone we ran into at the complex was pleasant and had that aloha spirit. I would definitely stay at this property for a future visit to the island. THANK YOU so much for your hospitality.

I bypassed other rentals when zeroing in on this one...thrilled that I did! Beautiful, inviting, comfy condo. Ground floor, walk out to grass, flowers, steps to walkable rock outcrop on the ocean. Sand not required for us. The Poipu Beach Athletic membership was a great surprise, used it & loved it, more than the plunge pool that was also inviting "at home". Great spot for exploring Poipu area and jumping off to Waimea beauty. We appreciated comments about many steps from parking lot, very manageable for spry folks. E 1, Everything 1st class.

The vacation rental in Poipu was wonderful. The view is absolutely beautiful, makes you not want to leave the condo.
Beds were comfortable. Place was clean and ready for our arrival. Nicely decorated as well.
Couple of things that need attention are the fridge/ freezer and knobs on stove. Otherwise good, and management was very prompt.
The only thing I would say that I was not a fan of was having to pay for use of the aquatic park, regardless if you used it. We went one day for approximately 1.5 hours. If I wanted that type of vacation I would have booked an all inclusive. Hawaii has the most beautiful beaches, you don’t need a spot like that.
Otherwise, would recommend this spot.
Thanks

Overall a great place. Communication in regard to refrigerator/freezer issue ahead of time would have been appreciated. Lost some food in the freezer. When we called they were aware of the issue and a part was on order, but again no notice until we called. We enjoyed the location and overall the place was great. Minor housekeeping issues should be looked at.

We loved our stay. The condo was roomy and well appointed. We had wonderful views from the patio. We could walk the shoreline in either direction for miles. We saw whales, dolphins and turtles daily.

A well-appointed ground-floor condo with a large lanai opening on to a wonderful sunset view over the Pacific. The lounges on the lanai are a great location for sun for most of the day and protected from the trade winds. The unit is quite comfortable and an easy walk to Brennecke's Beach, Poipu Beach Park and Waiohai Beach. A gas barbecue grill and a small swimming pool are steps away in the condo complex. Access to the Poipu Beach Athletic Club is available and a huge selling point for the unit. We walked or ran the roughly 1.3 miles from the condo to the club everyday to work out. Good workout facilities and classes as well as resort-style swimming pool, tennis and pickleball courts. Poipu Makai E1 is a solid choice if you are looking for an oceanfront condo in Poipu.

We enjoyed our stay and the beautiful walks to views and beaches. The workout facility is off-site and a long walk/drive - wish that would have been noted. Whales from the patio every night and turtles every AM!

This property is beautiful inside and out. It truly felt like coming home for a week, whether we left for the day or not we were able to totally relax and take it all in. Whales, sea turtles, sunsets and beautiful stary constellations were awaiting us every day. The property was clean and fresh! Thank you for such a wonderful home to stay during my Sons wedding.

Unit was mostly modernized and well equipped (including snorkel and masks and boogies boards and beach chairs,etc). We didn’t cook but the kitchen seemed to have the necessary utensils. The furnishings were in pretty good shape But, the patio and the direct ocean views are fabulous! Loved watching the sea turtles feed on the rocks below every Ironing. The pool is small but passable for a quick dip, but didn’t get too much sun when we were there- it’s all about the view (and we liked the quiet neighborhood - not too long of a walk to Brennecke’s beach). My wife and I both thought the primary bedroom bed was comfortable - all in all we had a really nice stay. We did have an issue after a smooth check-in, but managment promptly too care of it.

The view is worth a million dollars. The condo needs some minor repairs/freshening up but as seasoned condos renters, they were minor and did not impede any comfort for us. Inwould rent this condo again.
You will not want to leave the property!!!!

We had a fantastic experience staying here. Management was clear with their instructions on check in and check out and was prompt to respond to any issues. The unit was just as described. It would be hard to beat the location of this unit. Overall it was an amazing experience. Would definitely consider staying here again!

So many good things to say about this stay. The view was outstanding. Like a postcard. Only drawbacks: couldn't get ahold of PM To unlock the safe, couldn't find the iron and the closets were pretty jam packed, so there weren't many places to hang things (we were here for our wedding). Also, a few more towels would be nice for a long stay. But honestly, these are quibbles, we loved it!

The views and location were exceptional. However, the amenities were below what we had expected. The pool was dirty and cloudy, which deterred us from using it. Additionally, the AC units looked new, but were not functional. When we inquired about them, the owner stated AC was not included in the rental.

This is a lovely place with a very magical lanai on the water. The decor is beautiful and the beds are very comfortable. The only thing I would mention is there is quite a bit of stairs and it is difficult for someone who isn’t in good shape to carry the luggage and groceries up and down the stairs and the stairs should have handrails. even though the apartment is on the ground floor, you will need to take quite a few stairs to get there. However it is well equipped with most everything you could possibly need to have a wonderful vacation.

We had such a good time staying here. It was clean and comfortable, and the view from the balcony is amazing.
We watched sea turtles swim by every morning and we even watched dolphins.
There was everything you need included for going to the beach. We had another friend join us and they were very accommodating. The area is great, not busy and quiet. There's also lots of beaches near by.
Only issues, (I use the term very lightly because it actually wasn't an issue at all) was there was no A/C, the units are there but not fully installed. We just opened the windows and doors and the breeze was enough to keep everyone cool. And there was some normal household pests. We aren't used to that so once we talked to them about it, it was fine and manageable. Just don't leave any opened food on the counter, (we kept most things in the fridge) and don't let dirty dishes sit.
We had an amazing time and if we needed a place to stay in Kuaui, I would definitely book here again. We will definitely be returning!

My first impression was “Wow.”. The view, the condition of the condo and the attention to the details to provide a home away from home. The amazing view of the ocean. “Wonderful”. Thank you to the owner and the property manager for making this a truly relaxing vacation. Great property with many amenities to enjoy the beach life.

A great place to stay, our unit was close to the water and we could hear the surf all night. We will be back!

The apartment was clean and very well equipped (kitchen, beach towels, beach gear was great). The location was great and had a beautiful view. When we arrived we were surprised to learn there was no A/C and we were very concerned as I did not see it on the listing...I checked the listing again and couldn't find anything except that it had ceiling fans.
Turns out that once we opened the windows and turned on the fans (each room had a ceiling and floor fan), it was very pleasant, lots of breeze off the ocean. So we were pleasantly surprised.
