Year Purchased: 2002
Why the Owner Chose Makahuena
Ka Lihi O ka Lani - The Fringes of Heaven. Name is based on an ancient hula posture. I christened it so because of its wide expansive view from the lanai with the added Honu Cove below which creates great facinating wave sprays. We had fallen in love with each other and Kauai. This condo openes up to the creatures of the Pacific. You don't have to leave your mai tai seat on the lanai to watch the sunset most of the year. Most people in the complex are downstairs on the point. It is open spacious and the only condo in the Makahuena with two story high windows and a private bridged entrance. The moment I walked in "this is it".
This year's number one beach in America is located on the south shore of the Garden Isle of Kauai. The Travel Channel sited Poipu for its unspoiled beauty, sandy bottom lagoon, sunsets, warm people, a

RE: Paradise Lost Aloha Jan, We are relunctantly back from Paradise. We all loved your condo. The views from every room were fantastic!! We couldn't count the number of whales we saw from the lanai. They were as numerous as tourists in Honolulu!! We also saw lots of turtles and dolphins. It was a wonderful experience. The trip was a reward for my secretary who has been with me ever since I got out of law school 25 years ago. She and her husband had never been to Hawaii. She cried as I pulled her out of the condo Saturday morning when we left. I am sure my wife and I will want to rent your condo again and take our 2 grandchildren! They will love it as much as we did! Mahalo,
