Watch the sea breeze rustle the palms and the sunlight dance across the ocean at this stunningly situated condo within the oceanfront Makahuena Resort. Here on the breathtaking shores of Poipu, you can walk to three beloved beaches within minutes - and be greeted back at home by an awe-inspiring setting.
This condo enjoys an elevated position within the resort, granting it a gorgeous view of the ocean up above the building below. Brennecke's Beach (less than half a mile), Poipu Beach (half a mile), and Shipwreck Beach (one mile) are all within walking distance, allowing you to easily swim, snorkel, and collect seashells. On the resort's blufftop grounds, enjoy access to an outdoor pool, a hot tub, a tennis court, and a grilling area for afternoon barbecues.
Step inside to find an elegant and immaculately maintained home, with 1,681 square feet of living space across two floors. Throughout, you'll be treated to lofty ceilings, upscale furnishings, and that spectacular ocean view out across the rooftop. The newly installed mini-split AC system will keep you cool when you need a break from the sun.
Begin and end each day on your private lanai - a wondrous spot for coffee at sunrise, cocktails at sunset, and everything in between. Inside, make use of a modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a beautiful dining table, and an inviting living room with a plush sectional for movie nights. The bedrooms are serene and comfortable, each paired with its own TV and Xumo box to lull you to sleep in the evenings. A washer/dryer and complimentary WiFi are provided as well.

10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2025
Great place with lots of room. Awesome location on the South Shore and close to everything you need and easy to get to other points on the island.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2025
Comfortable place, ocean view, and 10-15 minute walk to the beach.
10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2025
Unit was exactly as described. Very roomy, lots of beach supplies included, awesome view from the balcony. Very nice pool and hot tub area which was never very crowded. We loved walking along the path by the shore that was just to the left of the complex when facing the ocean. It went all the way to the Grand Hyatt with gorgeous views the whole way. Leaving the windows open during the day and having the air on at night kept the unit at a very comfortable temperature. Vacasa contacted us a few hours before check-in and said we could check in early without any additional charge, which was very nice. One thing to be aware of which was not an issue for us: there did not appear to be any elevators. There were several sets of stairs to get to the unit, which would be challenging for those with mobility issues.
6 / 10Average·May 2025
The unit is a 3 bedroom with a nice, functional Ohana table…other than that, it’s “bare-bones” and not very inviting.
We have stayed on Kaua’i for decades. Vacasa is not a local company and it shows. Book with Parrish Kauai if it’s an option.
1) Better communication. Going through an app and getting canned responses via text or from overseas customer service is not personalized.
2) The unit was what we would consider “bare bones”…minimal dishes and utensils. No spices…not even the basics like salt & pepper
3) having most of the cabinets locked up made it feel as though we were intruding in someone’s home,
Not welcomed. No guest book, no photos or warming artwork, just very impersonal
4) Bugs were a real issue and were addressed with a token text.
5) beach equipment was amazing, it exceeded our expectations. Suggestion would be to add another beach umbrella and a cooler. The beach wagon was clutch.
5) Individual AC units were a game changer and much appreciated. We were hesitant to book based on reviews of the lack of A/C. It needs to be more clear in the listing however. Unit on the Lanai was annoying, but worth the trade off for temperature control.
6) location and 3 bedrooms were what attracted us to the unit. However, we have stayed at the Makauena several times in other units that are much nicer and up to date.
7) The Ohana table was perfect for family meals. It is a great centerpiece for the unit.
9) Beds were hard as a rock with no extra
covers or pillows, need new mattresses
10) Late checkout policy is ridiculous! Vacasa offers a late checkout but if you don't responded immediately on the app (when your on vacation no less) they withdraw the option. Never in our travel experiences (which are vast) have we heard of such nonsense!!!
