Having the ocean waves crashing feet away makes it an unforgettable vacation spot. We already miss walking to Poipou to see the turtles.

Makahuena building 5 has a great location. You are overlooking beautiful Southwest sky/ocean with really beautiful sunsets. Waves crash on rocks which also has a spouting hole. We really had a very enjoyable and unforgettable stay. The property is well stocked, matches description and the hosts communicate well. We would stay again. The property is well-maintained, but there is some room for improvement. The parking is a bit further from parking, which is something one might want ti consider if traveling with checked in bags.

Aloha,Well maintained and great management. The best part though, was the lanai. We saw rainbows, sunsets, whales, spinner dolphins, turtles, and birds. If it wasn't such a beautiful island, you would want to just stay at the condo.

Gorgeous

Stunning! Listening to the waves all day and night was what I was hoping for. Could not have been closer to the ocean than this condo. Location was perfect. Condo was spotless. Beach equipment was a definite plus! Very private and liked being on the ground floor which had a gate to look over the railings for turtles poking their heads out of the water! Would definitely recommend it and would stay there again.

Great view!

Best unit in the complex for viewing sunset. Comfortable and good a/c. A/C unit in the living room is loud and annoying at times, but there overall a great stay. Plenty of beach chairs, towels, umbrellas, boogie boards, and even some snorkeling equipment for fantastic beach days.

Summer Family Vacay

The location of this property is excellent. We loved watching the sea turtles every day and the crashing waves against the rocks is calming. Great sunset views for the southern side of the island. The property had all the amenities we needed for the week. We had a great time exploring the entire island and this property was well located to get to all sides equally. We would defintley stay here again for our next visit.

Nice location

Comfortable dwelling for four adults. The AC in the living areas was very much appreciated. Access to the dwelling was though a single flight of stairs and a long ramp, or using multiple sets of stairs. The view from the lanai, which is adjacent to the rocky coastline, was great, with lots of wave action. Pool was located very close to entry stairs. Mattresses on beds were good. Furniture was showing its age, but was adequate for the five night stay. No other particular deficits were notable.

We loved it

I think this must be the southernmost condo unit on Kauai and right on the ocean. The kitchen was particularly well-stocked for cooking gear which was important to us.

Comfortable, quiet, prime location, felt like home.

The location of this property is on point. The whale watching, the waves crashing on the rocks, the comfort and ease this place has made it feel like a home away from home. There are some beautiful resorts near by, but honestly I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else when we come back. The only thing I would change is the name of the owner of the property to my own. Our stay here was perfect.

Fantastic location and amazing views right from the lanai. Saw turtles everyday from our lanai and one day we saw stingray. Sunsets are incredible just sitting our lanai with drink in hand. Short walk to Poipu beach and trail near condo was easy to access and great for morning run/walks along the water. Owner also had condo well stocked in kitchen and plenty of supplies. Spacious bathrooms and very comfortable master bed. Definitely recommend and will stay again on any future trips to Kauai. Thank you!
