The perfect condo in the perfect location. Everything we needed was provided. Owner information on the area was 100 % correct. Very upscale remodeling but comfortable also. Snorkeling tip ---feed the fish canned corn over a rocky bottom & they will come by the thousands . Very colorful. Two nice golf courses within 1/2 mile. We will be back.

Great location and truly comfortable condo

The condo is in the heart of Poipu, so it's within walking distance of lots of beaches and other major hotels, restaurants, etc. Each morning we sat outside on the nice sized deck and watched the ocean that was less than 100 feet away. Falling asleep at night listening to the waves crashing was fantastic. No air conditioning, but definitely not needed as the ocean breezes, coupled with the ceiling fans kept things comfortable. Full size fridge, full size washer/dryers also came in handy. It is important to point out there are stairs, lots of them throughout the complex. That's fine by me, but some folks with mobility issues should keep that in mind. Stairs leading from the parking lot to the complex, then stairs to get to the 2nd floor where the unit is at, and then stairs within the 2 story condo itself. The beds were comfortable and were true king size. The bathrooms were sufficient. The decor throughout was nice and tasteful. The pool and hot tub were nice too. We'll definitely go back to Kauai and stay at this condo if it's available.

What a place to stay!

Mel and Kim, We just returned from Kauai, and I wanted to tell you that your place at Makahuena was TERRIFIC. You have appointed the condo very nicely, and we could really not have expected a nicer and more comfortable unit than yours! The friends we went with are walkers, and we put a lot of miles walking from your unit to both beaches, and to dinner. We travelled the island by car, too, but again, your unit was close to both beaches and restaurants, so we loved it. And, we had plenty ‘condo time”, coffee in the morning and early evening drinks on the lanai, overlooking the property and ocean. We also saw humpbacks migrating back to Alaska, and I even saw one jump clear out of the ocean and making a huge splash, quite a sight! Again, thanks for your hospitality, and when we return to Kauai, we will look forward to staying at your place again! Sincerely and Mahalo! Dan Auger

My husband and his parents along with myself stayed in your beautful condo for 2 weeks in April and we could not have been happier. Amazing views, very clean, kitchen was stocked so well, everything we needed to cook was there. The furnishings are amazing which truly made it feel like home, so many times listing descriptions and pictures are over done, but yours was right on the money. This was our third trip to Poipu and we have found "our place" and will return again next year as well as HIGHLY recommend this to our friends and family. We celebrated my 46th birthday during our stay and returned to my favorite restaurant, The Beach House...it was amazing as usual, Keoki's was fun too, good happy hour and awesome Mai Tai's! Shopping at the market by the Spouting Horn was fun and great prices too, don't miss Waimea Canyon, The Lighthouse, waterfalls just outside of Lihue and if you want a GREAT boat excursion, definitely use Kauai Sea Tours with Captain Jeff, amazing boat and crew (good food and drinks on board too) and he takes you to some really good sights and the sunset is beautiful to view from the boat deck. Thank you Kim and Mel for a perfect home away from home. Phil & Becky- Westminster, CO

Paradise was found!! We truly enjoyed our stay from 3/31/09 to 4/10/009. Condo is beautiful. Grounds were kept immaculate. After seeing the whole island, we knew we had made the right choice of our location and condo. Short walk to the beaches - saw lots of turtles, monk seals, whales!!! Loved the little town "Koloa" and the "Big Save" grocery store. We can still hear the roosters crowing and laugh about all the chickens we encountered everywhere!!! Thanks Mel and Kim for letting us stay at your "Hawaiian Home". We hope to be back one day soon. Mahalo. S/P Mapoles and R/E Rexworthy N. Vancouver, B.C. Canada

Great Condo, clean, comfortable, beautifully furnished ammenities galore. A spectacular view of ocean from lanai. Easy access by car to anywhere on the island. Walking to beach, other interesting sites. Next to Poipu Bay Golf Course, home of the PGA Grand Slam, & the Hyatt, great food and views. If visiting Kauai, stay here. Mahalo, The Bramletts

Our group of 4, including one young child, were very happy with the condo, the location, and the grounds. The condo is beautifully appointed and well-maintained, with all the amenities, including equipment for the beach for us and our little one. Both beds were extremely comfortable (and we are picky!). The pool and jacuzzi in the complex were very clean and were the perfect temperature, and the barbeque area was convenient and well-maintained. We would definitely return here and would not hesitate to recommend this condo to friends and family. Thanks for sharing your Poipu home with us!

We absolutely loved this condo. The tradewinds and sounds of the ocean were great and the beds were so comfortable. This is a great place for two couples as each has their own bed and bath. I would love to return here in the future. Thanks for a great place at a reasonable price.

A wonderful condo! Perfect for 2 couples, with great mattresses on both kings , a great location and amenities. Beautiful walk along the ocean cliffs to the Hyatt. I didn't know sea turtles "surfed" until I watched them in Turtle Cove on the walk to Poipu Beach. 1306 Makahuena, No ka oi! Neal and Maryann, Darren and Kendra

When we saw the condo for the first time we were speechless. After touring the island, we have decided that we could not have picked a better place to stay. I will recommend your hospitality and this beautiful place for the rest of my life.

We enjoyed your condo - perfect for a family of 4. You provided all the necessities. We really appreciated the use of beach towels, chairs, umbrella and kid toys. The view was beautiful as well as the grounds. We will recommend your condo to others. Mahalo.

Your condo was wonderful. We really enjoyed our visit to Kauai, everything was very comfortable and the views of the ocean with the whales and beautiful surf are very memorable. We will recommend your accomodations to others.
