Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Makahuena
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.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
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.
Owner's Map of Makahuena
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.

Heavenly in Kaua'i

Often when you travel you will have expectations about the places you visit. We try not to let them get out of control so we are not running the risk of being disappointed. With this condo on Kaua'i it wouldn't really matter how high your expectations are, you will NOT be disappointed (except of course for the few hardened "Nothing pleases me" individuals). We stayed 11 days in June 2011 and every day was more than enjoyable, starting with breakfast, taking it easy, relaxing at the pool, watching the sea turtles in the ocean, exploring, and coming back in the evening to a place that truly felt like home. One of the best times away from home ever in a very cozy place.

This is a lovely condo that is beautifully decorated with quality furnishings. It provided us with all the amenities we needed for a month long stay. The kitchen is fully equiped and both bedrooms are comfortable. It was the perfect place for 2 couples. The complex is located in a beautiful location from where we were able to watch whales and the gorgeous sunets each evening. It is also ideally located for easy walking to the best beaches on Kauai, wonderful hikes just past the Hyatt and some great golfing nearby. There is a partial ocean view from the grassy area just in front of the condo with plenty of room to lounge. This is a well-taken care of and clean condominium and we enjoyed our stay.

What a great experience staying at the Makahuna. We have been to our favorite island of Kaui over 15 times and have allways enjoyed the island style living. This was one of the easiest vacations for my family of 5. Great location and the pictures and descriptions are completly accurate. We enjoyed the pool and the grass area was perfect for my 5 year old and 2 year old. Great times taking walks and enjoying the majastic waves as the roll in. I would highly recommend to stay here if you want the true laid back kauai style living. Thanks for sharing your wonderfull home... Cheers, God Bless The Bustrum5 Orange CA

My family and I stayed in this great condo on during summer vacation. The unit is very nice and emacuately maintained. The location is great,we found the complex to be very quiet and in close proximity to great beaches,resturants,and shopping. This condo was the best we stayed in during our two week vacation in Hawaii.

This condo has such a nice feel to it. It has such a warm environment, and is decorated so beautifully. I love how spacious it is, and the configuration of the bedrooms for your guest's privacy is very nice, with them being on opposite sides of the condo. I felt so comfortable cooking in the kitchen. It's a great size, and everything I needed was there. Location is a definite plus, also. I was able to walk to appealing locations easily, and felt safe while doing so. The traffic is light. I love all of Kauai, but this condo is placed where the weather is usually the most pleasant with more sunshine than rain. It's just a great place! Enjoy!!

We really enjoyed our vacation on the beautiful island of Kauai. This condo is beautifully decorated and comfortable and the scenery is fantastic! We enjoyed watching the whales and the sea turtles and listening to the sound of the waves crashing against the cliffs. Perfect location!

We have vised Kauai three time in the last five or six years and have enjoyed our stay at this beautifull spot more than anywhere we have stayed on this georgus island.This condo is clean, quite, and is in a great location to see all the wonderfull sites on this island. Great views of sunrises and sunsets,whale and turtle and dolphin watching cliff right out back of condo.Just a short walk along the ocean brings you west to fantastic beaches, Hotels Restaurants,and anything else you would want to do. Great place, hope to come back there again.
