About this property

3-bdrm Oceanview Condo at Makahuena -Walk to Poipu Beaches- NEW Split A/C SYSTEM

Located in the "almost always" sunny, resort town of Poipu, on the gorgeous south shore of Kauai, this oceanfront complex is situated on the southernmost point of the island. From the edge of the dramatic cliffs, just above the crashing waves, you can watch the sunrise in the morning as well as the sunset in the evening, without even switching the spot your standing on! During the winter months, this is one of the best locations on the island for watching the whales that also make Hawaii their seasonal home.

This 3-bedroom, 2-½ bath, home is perfect for an island holiday with two families because there are 2 En Suite master bedrooms. (1 king, and 1 queen). Additionally, there is an enclosed loft with one full bed, and two twin beds. We also just installed a brand new ($29K) state of the art split A/C system. It's the most efficient type of a/c available, so this is now one of the most comfortable condos in the resort!

The entire home is newly outfitted with all-new island décor and furnishings. Enjoy the ocean view from the lanai, or stroll down to “the point” to see everything up-close. The Hawaiian sea turtles show off every day in the cove in front of the complex. The spinner dolphins also enjoy performing for your viewing pleasure. Additionally, in the winter months, you'll see Humpback whales playing, splashing, and breaching as they navigate around the point.

Makahuena is located in between the town's two main beaches. From the condo, it's less than a ten-minute walk to Poipu and Bennecke’s Beaches to the west. You can also hike east from our property along the cliff trail to Shipwreck Beach.

Some of the island's best dining, shopping, and attractions are just a stone's throw away, so we know you’ll be happy you chose this island home for your Kauai vacation.

Fantastic stay!
We had such a fantastic stay! It was exactly as expected and described in the listing and so close in proximity to all the things we love to do in Kauai. The owner was more than accomodating and made sure to always let us know he was available for anything we needed. We also loved that we had beach chairs and toys galore which saved us time and money from renting. Everything worked great and my family and I had plenty of space. We will definitely be back!

A slice of heaven!
We had a fantastic stay at the Makahuena! Poipu is gorgeous with some of the best beaches. The Makahuena property is a delight. Lovely pool and great spots to watch turtles. The condo was one of the best we have stayed in. Great spaces, perfectly clean, very well stocked kitchen with lots of extra cooking supplies. We loved our stay and would love to come back again someday. Thanks Chad for all of your help along the way.

First Hawaii vacation
We had an amazing time on the island the condo was in a perfect location. We saw many sea turtles and a pod of dolphins of at least 100. So many beautiful birds that came to visit us while sitting on the balcony. In addition the condo was very well stocked with everything you need for a great beach day. We were very pleased with our choice and already plan on coming back in the future.

Awesome Family Licarion
What a beautiful condo! And a beautiful location! Perfect for our family of 6 - parents and 4 adult-sized teens to celebrate mom’s “Hawaii 5-0” birthday. The condo has everything a family needs for a great vacation and very comfortable beds. We enjoyed sunrises, the walking path to Shipwreck beach, turtle sittings, waves crashing on rocks and easy access to Poipu beach and all it has to offer. We will definitely be back!

Perfect for our Group of 7
Everything about this property worked perfectly for the needs of our group of 7 people. The property is right on the ocean and the condo has a great ocean view. There’s a place on property to view the sunset and a spot within walking distance to view the beautiful sunrise. The grounds are meticulously kept and quiet yet close to everything we needed. Inside the condo we had lots of extras that made staying here so convenient like beach towels/chairs/umbrellas and snorkel gear. The lanai was a great place to hangout and the washer and dryer came in handy. Super comfortable beds and plenty of nice linens. Great air conditioning, too! The property manager, Chad, was always quick to respond to questions and so easy to deal with. Overall, for us, this place was a great find. Highly recommend!

Beautiful home away from home!
Casa de Chad is perfectly located on southern part of the island overlooking the ocean with a beautiful flow of crashing waves and a “spouting” hole. We also spotted turtles. The condo itself is situated in an ideal spot overlooking the pool, and the waterfront view from the cozy balcony. Enjoyed the top of the lines outdoor grill available to us on the property. The night views of the sky were spectacular as we even caught the Blue Moon during our stay! Just a few minutes drive from Poipu Beach, a walk to Grand Hyatt Hotel and much more, you’ll find yourself immersed in everything Kauai has to offer just a few minutes away. As far as the condo unit, it has a welcoming cozy vibe upon entering the front door. Fully stocked with most household needs and spacious enough for a family and/or friends of up to 6 people to comfortably share space. As for the actual cleanliness, would recommend deep cleaning on a regular basis. Overall, loved our time and experience at Casa de Chad as it felt like our home away from home in Hawaii.

Watson/Call Family Vacation
Overall we had a great time. Kitchen was well stocked with spices, etc. Beds were comfortable and loved the master shower. There were a lot of steps and walking to get to the unit. I feel there should have been a disclaimer about all the stairs and steep inclines. Husband and I have had knee and hip replacements and this was very hard for us and we were not expecting it to be like that. Would have liked to have known beforehand.We were more likely to stay in more so we didn’t have to do all the stairs. The view was great and we were able to see whales.

What a beautiful condo! Everything was so pretty and nicely organized. Our family had the best time here! Couldn’t have asked for a better condo to spend New Year’s in:-) We appreciated at all the beautiful details in the decorations and the provided towels and beach equipment. Thank you so much for providing a perfect “home” for us to live in for a week. We hope to come back again sometime soon.

Multigenerational Family Kauai trip
I recommend this condo for up to eight folks. Third floor loft requires use of main floor restroom, and shower in one of second floor bathrooms (entry in bedroom.) Community near condo has all you need close by. Snorkeling, beach 20 minutes walk. incredible views of ocean, good food, grocery store near by, pool on property, good restaurants close by. We would visit in the future.

Great location
Very clean condo with good sized bedrooms. Perfect size for our group of 7. Great location close to several beaches, restaurants and shopping. Property manager was helpful and quick to respond to questions while we were onsite. The front door does take some finessing to unlock/open and the AC unit makes a regular buzzing sound that is noticeable when trying to sleep, but otherwise it was perfect. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect family rental
We had an amazing trip! We loved the location, short walk to ship wreck beach and Poipo beach. Every morning we loved watching the sunrise from the edge of the property and taking a walk down to poipo beach to see the turtles. Our teen girls loved having their own space upstairs in the loft. The condo is equipped with all that you need to make your stay easy and comfortable. We are sad to go and can’t wait to come back!

Not Quite Paradise
Upon arriving, the check in process was easy. However, the photos were quite deceiving. The condo is an older condo that has not been deep cleaned in quite some time. The condo is actually three stories on the second floor of the main building. The stairs inside are coming apart and very steep. It is in need of paint and the cupboards in the kitchen need to be scrubbed. The dishes needed to be washed before use. The view from the master was beautiful, but the curtains were rusty and dirty. The tv also had a big line going down the center of it. Lastly, we had to be extra careful on the lanai as the railing was deemed unstable. There was construction netting up with a warning. We were not told in advance that the condos were under construction. The construction made relaxing by the pool impossible.
