Great location and accommodations

VRBO as advertised. Spectacular view from back deck area and walking distance to Poipu beach. The Poipu athletic club add on was wonderful for working out and taking granddaughter to the pool with large Sandy kid section. Would definitely stay again

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Quiet property and centrally located with beautiful views; guest bathroom tub & shower is in bad shape and needs remodeling (even though we didn't use it) - that does not stop us from recommending this property as it was a perfect stay for 2 people

We had an amazing stay. We had problems with the AC in the second bedroom but the property manager was on top of it before we got there. It wasn’t resolved but she quickly responded. We would definitely stay at this property again. It felt like home.

Would rent again with some caveats--ie beds need replacing

I rented this condo for our family of 5-me + husband, 2 college age kids, and our 15 yo.We needed a place to fit our family comfortably, a decent kitchen for preparing breakfast & lunch, a nice view, and wanted to be able to walk to the beach, and a/c. This hit all our wants except for bedding. Had good communication with the property management team ahead of time, particularly Mele, who was kind & helpful. This is in a small condo complex and we rarely saw other tenants the entire time we were there. Parking was ample and we never had a problem getting a spot. It is a bit tight and the driveway is very steep and we scraped the bottom of our rental car almost every time. Oops! For the most part, we were very pleased with the condo. The very best thing about it is the view. Incredible and relaxing. The "bed" for the 5th person is a joke and I let management know this within our first couple of days. I realized they wouldn't be able do anything to mitigate during our stay but NO ONE who weighs more than 40 pounds could sleep on that thing. It is very old and the "mattress" is very thin and narrow. Our son slept on the couch, which worked out ok, but should not be advertised as having a 5th sleeping spot. Kitchen is well stocked and new-ish, bathrooms older and could use remodeling, king mattress needs to be replaced (again, told mgmt while we were there.) as we had to struggle not to roll to middle. Overall, would rent again for view if bedding were upgraded

Peaceful

This property is fantastic, and the view is amazing! We saw sea turtles swimming right out of our unit. The beds were comfortable, and so was the furniture. The kitchen was stocked nicely. We thought the location of this property was perfect. We were within walking distance of a local beach(less than a mile), and the neighborhood was a great area in which to enjoy my morning walks. I highly recommend this property.

Great location - awesome ocean view

The condo, situated right on the coast, had incredible views of life in the sea (sea turtles, spinner dolphins). The sunsets were also spectacular. We enjoyed sitting on the lania and visiting the local Poipu beaches. We would stay here again if we return to Kauai.

It’s right on the water but not a sandy beach but the beauty and sound of the waves all day and all night was truly therapeutic! You can hike down the rocks and it’s so pretty. The AC works great. The furniture was comfortable. The master bed was soooo comfy and soft. We would definitely come back!

Beautiful Condo!!!

Poipu Makai was great and we enjoyed our stay. The views were amazing and check in was a breeze. The beds were comfortable and everything was very clean. Like other reviews mentioned the parking is a little tight but not as bad as I was expecting after reading some of the reviews… we had a Jeep Gladiator and had no problems using the top parking area. We parked in the bottom lot one time and it was doable but a little tight getting out. There was also always plenty of spaces available on both the top and bottom lot and we were always getting in late from our adventures. Vicki was very nice and gave us a late checkout so we were able to enjoy our last day on the beach and didn’t have to worry about leaving our luggage in the car or where we would shower before our flight.

Amazing Property & Views

First thing you’ll see in the reviews is there are a lot of steps to get to the property… but it’s worth it. The space is clean, bright, and the view is gorgeous. You can walk down to a lava rock ledge that overlooks the waves and be able to fall asleep to the sound of them every night. A/c works amazingly, so does the laundry. Only critique I would have is that there is no information on where to take the trash, the couch is uncomfortable, & the directions on which parking lot to use are not good enough. Overall we will 100% book here again on our next stay.

Great ocean view

Nice place to be, great views, whales everyday and turtles just over the edge of the cliff. Didn’t care for the access and parking, 30 stairs from unit to the car. Dated, a little run down. I’d rated it as average (3) but that gives too negative of a vibe. Management got us in early- but then used that as the reason it was in better condition…

A perfect get away

This property is literally on the cliffs overlooking spots where the sea turtles play. It was so fun to spend the mornings watching them in the surf. Our visit was short so I don't feel that we were able to fully embrace all that the location had to offer, but we appreciated being close to many of the shops and restaurants in the Poipu area. The VRBO itself is well appointed and lovely, quiet and yet convenient. Communication with the property group was easy and they left lots of helpful information about the area. I would definitely stay here again and again!

Cannot beat the location or view!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were able to check in early (11am) because the property was cleaned the previous day. The view from the lanai was fantastic! Didn't see any whales but saw dolphins. The property is a little older and the pool was just sad, but they include access to the Athletic club which has a resort-caliber pool and amenities. The living room sofa and chair were also a bit past their prime. There is access to a lava rock shore that is quite impressive. Had to be careful about food on the counters because there were tiny ants that would gather if anything was left out - to be expected in Hawaii - especially an older ground-floor condo. Would definitely consider staying here again!

Fantastic setting

The 2 bedroom unit was nicely appointed, well equipped and came with a lovely club membership that included swim, pickleball, tennis, fitness and a nice casual restaurant. We loved the sound of the ocean waves crashing on the lava rocks beyond our unit. Sitting on the terrace or the rocks below and watching the sunset was such a treat! The unit was well located for most of our activities (hiking, dining, snorkeling, spelunking, golf, sea turtle watching and more). Each evening we had a rousing game before falling asleep to amazing stars! We could have used another week!

Perfect sunset view

The building is super easy to get to plus it’s close to everything.If you need a big car or struggle with backing in this is not the place for you. It’s tight especially on the lower level. The unit is nice and the air conditioning worked well. The second bedroom smelled like a cat lived in it so did the second bathroom. We didn’t use them but beware.The primary bathroom is nice and the bed was super comfortable. There were plenty of pillows and blankets throughout. I only wish the linens were a little nicer. The sunset views are spectacular! We had dinner on the patio a few nights. This unit is not an easy walk to a sandy beach. You will need to drive there. There are ants everywhere, kitchen, bathroom, living room. They are small but you can’t leave anything on the counter. The unit doesn’t feel private. An hour after checkin, my wife just got out of the shower and a maintenance man let himself in to install a blind. We had no warning. There is no blinds on the kitchen window and people walking through the unit can see in. Second day we were leaving for dinner and there was a blender on the doorstep. Again no warning. Later in the week we received a notice they needed us out of the unit to spray for bugs. Great but that day we had plans and needed the unit to get ready. Thirty minutes before they were scheduled to start, my wife gets walked in on by the exterminator. She was dressed but 2nd instance. Even with all the issues we still had a great time.
