You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Ocean Front 3 BR, 1 level Condo . Pool, SPA , huge Lanai . Pickle Ball

This is a spacious (1300 square feet) ground level, three bedroom, two bathroom, ocean view condominium, in the very popular, upscale Makahuena Resort located in the center of Poipu. It's size and internal layout provides spacious comfort for as many as 8 but works perfectly well and is priced for smaller groups. You might want to invite your family or friends to share the cost as they will be comfortable too. Check our monthly rates as we encourage longer stays.

View our guest comments to see why our condo is so popular.

The resort complex sits on a cliff overlooking the ocean providing an unforgettable view and experience. You can view both sunrise and sunset from the site 'Point' a few steps from our lanai where the sound of the ocean and it's spray is breathtaking.


The Makahuena is in the center of the Poipu golf world including being walking distance from Poipu Bay, former site of the Grand Slam of golf. The Makahuena contains it's own tennis and pickleball facility (a rare commodity in Poipu condo complexes) bringing those sports steps from our unit. Top rated sandy beaches that provide sunbathing and surfing are less than a ten minute walk to the east (Shipwreck Beach) and to the west (Brennecke's Beach). Brennecke's beach has a breakwater that provides protected beaches for toddlers and calm waters for snorkelers.

IMPORTANT ITEM
If you are traveling with children or people that enjoy the pool or spa, ground floor units such as ours have a huge benefit in the ease of access to these popular items. From our unit, you are step free seconds away from the pool gate to enjoy or check your kids swimming. The Makahuena is made up largely of three story buildings with no elevators, and pool access from upper units requires many steps to the opposite side of the pool then walking around the buildings. A somewhat time consuming and strenuous task.

FLOOR PLAN

The floor plan is all contained on one level eliminating the need to climb stairs to bedrooms or second bathrooms. Our seniors especially appreciate this convenience but everyone loves it. Additionally, the ground level location allows step free access to the impeccably maintained grounds, pool, spa, barbecue, view point, and other entertainment areas.
The kitchen was completed renovated in November 2014; new granite counter tops, Solid Mahogany door and drawer fronts provide a stunning look. Elegant Tile Flooring was installed in all three bedrooms adding a very upscale look and providing a cooler (temperature) unit.

A brand new Mitsubishi top of the line air conditioning system was installed in June 2022 which provides greatly increased comfort in every room even when the trade winds slow .

Sleeping Accommodation

There are 3 bedrooms: The Master Suite, a smaller Suite and a 3rd bedroom.

The master suite is a large bedroom containing a brand new Simmons Beautyrest king bed (10/23). It has it's own bathroom which contains two large counters (his and hers) instead of the usual one. This bedroom opens directly to the lanai providing it's own ocean view and instant access to the beautiful grounds and all it's features.

The second large bedroom also has a King Bed and both of these bedrooms have their own televisions.

The third bedroom is smaller, but large enough to contain a brand new Beautiful Bunk Bed and an adjacent Queen Bed. If this bedroom is not needed it makes an excellent location to store luggage and golf clubs.

Additionally the living room contains a brand new (10/23) top of the line Lazy Boy Queen Sleeper for added sleeping capacity.

Summary of Sleeping arrangements:

Bedroom 1.

Primary Master Suite, King bed, with own Full Bathroom with his and her's sinks. Direct Access to Lanai, Pool , Spa and Grounds.
High Definition TV

Bedroom 2.
Junior Suite with King Bed. Full bathroom in adjacent room.
LG High Definition TV

Bedroom 3
1 Queen Bed and 1 Bunk Bed

Living Room
New Lazy Boy Queen sleeper

The unit has been recently redecorated including some new furniture and beautiful tile and paint. Three new (10/23) Lazy Boy swivel recliners adjacent to the new Queen Sleeper, are great additions for comfort and conversation and TV watching on the new 65" Samsung HD TV. In addition to streaming, A major Cable Company is included.

We are very High Tech

The unit has a High Speed Internet Connection with a wireless router making web contact especially convenient.

A new 65" Samsung HD really Smart TV was added in the living room in May 2019. All the major streaming services are available so don't forget your passwords. Incredibly vivid picture.

The Poipu Beach Area

Poipu Beach is Kauai's most desirable area and was recently rated the #1 beach in all of America. You will love your stay at the Makahuena and in particular in this condominium. The unit is easily large enough for two (even 3) couples to share with adequate privacy. There are three HD televisions.

Great location!
We have stayed at Makahuena multiple times, first time in this listing. The location within the condo complex is great for small kids. Grassy area to run around, close walk to sunset/sunrise and close proximity to the pool. The management staff was easy to work with and fast at communication. We had a larger party and did not feel cramped within the condo. Makahuena itself is a nice complex to stay in, everyone is always nice and the pool/hot tub are never overcrowded. Plus you have good access to the walking trails, 10 minute walk to the beach or short drive. The only thing we found inconvenient was that there was no place to hang out towels/suits to dry outside. Other than that no complaints, we will be back again!

We had a nice stay at this property - great views, ability to walk to the beach, easy access to other parts of Kauai. We had a few issues with necessary kitchen supplies, but I am confident those will be corrected in the future. I would highly recommend this property in the future.

Perfect place in paradise
We loved our stay here so much! We have been traveling to Kauai for the past 30 years and tend to stay on the East side of the island. We switched it up this year and could not have been happier with this place! Perfect size for our little family. Lots of kitchen amenities, ample space for everyone and a lovely location.

Perfect place for us. We...
Perfect place for us. We stayed 9 nights (Dec '09) Very spacious. Ground level was nice as the pool was right 'in our backyard' In the mornings sat on the lanai, drinking coffee and watching the whales spout off. Mr.Heckman was very gracious and easy to rent from. The office staff there was also very nice. I would highly recommend~we hope to be back!

We stayed at Jim's condo for 3 weeks and had a wonderful time in his spaceous 3b/r condo. Ground flr access, close to the swimming pool, and with a view of the ocean, sunrise/sunset and humpbacks was definitely an added benefit. We loved our stay and, with the good Lord willing, plan on going back.

Location is definitely the main positive. The unit itself is quite old. The two smaller bedrooms in fact had a “wet” smell. The manager was easy to reach and was accommodating. Overall, if you’re looking to stay in an oceanfront place without forking over top dollar, this is the place. Just don’t be expecting the ritz carlton.

THIS UNIT WAS SPACIOUS AND COMFORTABLE AND THE FOUR OF US WHO STAYED THERE WERE QUITE AT HOME. THE GROUNDS WERE BEAUTIFUL AND WONDERFULLY (AS WELL AS QUIETLY) KEPT UP. THE STAFF WERE FRIENDLY AND VERY HELPFUL. THE VIEWS WERE SPECTACULAR AND WE COULDN'T RESIST TAKING MANY PHOTOS. WE FOUND IT VERY RELAXING AND DIDN'T WANT TO RETURN HOME. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR NEXT VISIT.
