About this apartment rental
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.

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 reviewsPerfect location with spacious rooms, well-equipped kitchen, and beautiful ocean views. Great for families and groups. Highly recommended for a relaxing vacation in Kauai!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2026
Loved our stay here! More spacious than the pictures made it look too! Loved that it came with beach chairs, umbrellas, noodles, boogie boards, and coolers. The pool being right outside was great and the view of the waves crashing on the cliffs from the patio was stunning. Highly recommend this place. Hosts respond quickly and are helpful with extra supplies. Poipa beach is walking distance and the cliffs out back are beautiful to walk on for sunset and sunrise without having to drive anywhere. Downtown Koloa is very close with shops and food and grocery is only 7 min away. Can’t beat that! Photos were all taken on property.
8 / 10Excellent·May 2026
Condo is perfect for large family, especially with young children. First floor allows kids easy access to grass, pool and views. Hearing the water hit the rocks was a favorite.We stayed for a month with various family members arriving and departing. Location worked out great for airport and touring.Condo is well stocked with beach chairs, toys, umbrella's, boogie boards, snorkel gear and even variety sizes of coolers.The unit does need a bit of TLC, which I believe the owner was arriving 2 weeks after we left to address.

Unit was clean and well appointed. Unit was dated. Grounds are very nice as is pool.
6 / 10Average·Mar 2026
The host was very welcoming but only AFTER booking and paying did I receive notice that there was construction going on right outside the lanai. We were told it would not impact our stay but it did. I specifically booked this condo for my elderly parents due to the fact of it being ground floor and they could walk to the pool or to the ocean without having to use stairs. Upon arroval scaffolding was set up all across the lanai with caution tape so we could not step onto the grass. The scaffolding also significantly impacted the view. While I understand upkeep on buildings needs to be done we should have been informed of this beforehand or even offerred a discount if we wanted to book. The condo owner did not repond to my feedback. Due to all of this we ended up not extending our stay and instead moved elsewhere. Hosts and owners need to be transparent and tell of these things PRIOR to booking. We were very disappointed.
