Relaxing place

This condo was great for our family plus grandma. Having two bedrooms plus the loft gave us space to spread out and the large dining table was good for meals and playing games. We used the cooler every day on our car trips around the island.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The first night we got there were issues with the AC in one room and I guess a random termite swarm. The owner sent the cleaners the next morning and the AC guy to fix it. There was mold in the shower and giant layer of dust in the fan. We are glad they were able to address these issues. The rest of the stay went great. The condo is just like it looks in the pictures and the view from the balcony is great. (Side note: there isn't an elevator which I think is pretty common here but we didn't realize this and it was hard to carry our bags up and down but wasn't a issue other than the first and last day)

Just got back from a week at the Makahuena 1-303. Pros:* Good location, 15min walk to Poipu Beach. It's an uphill walk back. We just drove everyday. Restaurants, stores, within 10 min drive* Property grounds are we taken care ofCons: * The unit is much older than what's in the pictures. Different furniture, etc.* Completely broken beach umbrella. Shannon told me to go get one from Costco rather trying to help. I had to spend 1 1/2 hours to go back to Walmart by the airport to buy one. No reimbursement. * One of the toilets was leaking and kept running 24-7* Kitchen faucet is leaking and gets all over the counter. It also turns on by itself as it's loose.* The dryer kept shutting off after 15 min with a "Check Dryer Vent" light. Annoying when you have wet clothes. * WiFi router upstairs kept failing (red light)* After my brief conversation about the umbrella, I didn't even bother to report the other issues as I did not want to spend my vacation time waiting for service and repairs, we just dealt with it. Would I stay here again? Yes if I was better informed and needed accommodations for 5 people. No if it was just my wife and daughter.Recommendation for management: * Accurately represent your property* Help rather then provide answers with no resolution, where's the Aloha spirit? Hope this honest review helps someone out! Cheers!

Great stay!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: rental had everything we needed for our family of 6 including stuff for us to snorkel and enjoy the beach. The sunsets from the place were amazing!! Our family enjoyed it and the kids took many photo shoots! We all had our own space, kitchen was great to cook in and I enjoyed sitting outside each morning looking at the ocean view. They even left us a thoughtful welcome gift! We enjoyed our time and it was close to everything we needed. The “sand” beaches were a very quick drive!

All our dreams came true

This apartment was fantastic- met all our needs and then some for our Kauai vacation. As soon as you open the door you can hear the ocean crashing and we spent several sunrises and sunsets visiting the waves just a few steps away.The apartment itself had everything we needed. It was comfortable, well appointed, and blissfully air conditioned. We were so pleased with everything about our stay. Just as advertised!

Kauai vacation at Makahuena

Property met our needs and AC a great amenity! Condo was comfortable but could use an update in decor to make it more pleasant for a vacation stay. Could use a better more thorough cleaning between guests. Location on the island is great.

Perfect Location

Our stay was lovely. The location was so close to PoiPu and the point next door offered a stunning area to watch whales and the sunrise/sunsets. The unit was great for our party of four adults and four kids. The AC worked well. The unit was fairly well stocked. The WiFi was good for some work. Could use some TLC for some cosmetic updates, but even then I would highly recommend this location. Communication with the property managers was smooth, prompt and efficient.
