Kauai's best
Fantabulous accommodation, Better than the photos can portray. The ocean crashing against the rock cliff in front of the condo is the icing on the cake. Would recommend to anyone looking for a luxurious stay in Poipu.
Mahalo Mark for your amazing five-star review. We are so happy the property exceeded your expectations. We appreciate your recommendation and cannot wait to host you again soon.
Loved the panoramic view.
Great staff was wonderful at responding in a timely fashion and were always sooo helpful!
Wonderful property!
We loved staying at this property. Was a little disappointed to find out just how far away the beaches are since one was pictured with your other promotional pictures. I would consider leaving that photo out. Also you were right to warn people about mobility issues, my were only slight but I still felt the stairs! Overall we loved the view from the lanai, watching the turtles everyday and the dolphins swimming by about 5 every evening. We were even lucky enough to see a whale on our last morning! The binoculars were a real bonus - Thank you!!!
Poipu heaven on earth
Absolutely fantastic unit & location!!! I couldn’t believe the views and the beauty of this unit!! It was mesmerizing to look down at the lava cliffs and view half a dozen turtles swimming around in the waves around the lava cliffs!!! There is even a “blow hole” spout of water right below the unit! The unit itself was top notch, clean, gorgeous & modern.
Thanks so much for taking the time to write a review. The turtles are fun to watch. Last time we were there, a school of dolphins would swim by every morning around the same time. Thanks again and please come back.
The unit was absolutely fantastic!! fantastic location and very upscale
Everything was A1 from the booking to checkin and the unit itself was fantastic! GREAT location!! Best unit in the whole complex for the location. It was mesmerizing to overlook the lava cliff and watch 10 turtles feeding each day. Even got to see a monk seal sunning himself!
Love the view !!
We spent a few days here after being with our son and family on the other side of the island. The condo is beautiful and light with so many windows to enjoy the view. The deck is literally right next to the ocean waves crashing into the black lava rocks with a blow hole just in front of you. A great place to relax and kick back but also close to many activities. FYI this is not a resort with a huge pool, bar, restaurant etc if that is what you’re looking for.
Thank you for writing such a nice review. We too like to watch the waves crash against the rocks. Also, we enjoy seeing the turtles playing in the water right in front of us. Like all other Condominium Complexes, there is no bar or restaurant on the property. As you said, it is close to activites, the beach and great restaurants.
Absolutely Perfect!
Beautiful condo in the perfect location! The ocean view is unbelievable! We watched turtles, dolphins, and gorgeous sunsets from the porch. The condo is updated and exactly what the description says. We will absolutely stay here again!!
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We agree, seeing the Sea Life, playing in the water, is so much fun. Also, watching the waves crashing on the rocks is something we can do all day long. We welcome you back anytime.
Hawaiian Turtle Hideaway
This condominium is very comfortable and has an extraordinarily beautiful view of lava rocks on the ocean. We thoroughly enjoyed watching turtles swim by us in the mornings and afternoons. The property has a beautiful kitchen which makes it a dream to stay at home and enjoy the afternoon looking at the ocean. The only suggestion would be that the bed is a little too hard and the pillows definitely could be a better quality. If you’d like a soft pillow I recommend bringing one from home.
Excellent property
This is a beautiful and comfortable place to stay. The views are unbelievable! Very modern, very clean, and very comfortable. The owner promptly responded when I messaged with a couple of questions. Our family would stay here again for sure!
Thank you for the nice comments and taking the time to write a review. We also love the views especially watching the sunsets and the turtles. Please visit us again.
We really enjoyed our stay there. It's a beautiful property. This was our first VRBO experience. It was nice to have a whole house instead of a hotel room to use as our home base for a few days. The view from the condo is spectacular!!
5/13 - 5/31/2022
This property is absolutely beautiful. The remodel was excellent and the wraparound deck is simply amazing. The sunsets were out of this world. We did have some issues with the property unfortunately. There was a piece of dirty laundry left in the closet. The brand new stove top to the oven did not work. The large fan over the living room did not work. The TV in the living room went out numerous times. Towards the afternoon as the sun beat on the beautiful floor to ceiling glass walls the temperature would rise upwards of 83 to 85°. The owners were very easy to work with and try to facilitate the necessary work. But the property management company did not leave us with any sense of urgency or care. We do appreciate the late check out that they did give us.
We are sorry for the inconveniences you experienced during your stay. It is highly unusual to see these types of issues during our guest’s visits. As we explained to you, the fan needed some parts and they had to be ordered. Unfortunately getting parts in Kauai is not a fast process, especially since Covid. Since then, it has been repaired. At least, the other 6 ceiling fans did work. With the 2 large central air-conditioning systems, the unit should have stayed cool during your stay. As far as the TV’s, we have no control over Spectrum and they do have issues from time to time. The management company did come by a couple of times and reset the cable system. The new cook top was having some issues, but you were provided with cooking capabilities. We have to admit, we were a little surprised with a “3" review. We wished you would have enjoyed the Oceanfront location, the turtles and the features of the unit and not have been bothered by the fan etc. Thanks again for bringing these issues to our attention.
Amazing property. Perfect.
Mahalo!
Issues not resolved
Overall, it was good. There were a few issues:
1. Gave us the wrong keys.
2. Tv was off line, no connection. Had to go through several steps to get it to work.
3. Light in fan in guest bathroom was broken. 4. Lots of construction, so noise and difficult to find parking.
5. Got a 12 hour notice that water was going to be turned off from 10am-2pm.
6. Railing around lanai was loose so could not lean on it. Had to be very careful.
7. Ants on kitchen counter.
8. Issue with the oven. I have asked several times for a credit for all the issues/inconveniences, but manager hadn’t responded back to me.
We want to thank you for your review and bringing these items to our attention. This is the first time we have heard of any of these issues. We wish you had contacted us during your stay and before you checked out. Then, maybe we could have helped solved some of these. We have checked into the items you listed and have some feedback for you. We understand that you had immediate ability to occupy the unit as our management company provided you with a combo to the lockbox, with a key, at the front door of the unit. The TV problem was fixed right away, as it was a cable company problem. We e-mailed you before check-in and told you the cook top was working fine, but the surface was scared and a new one was on Island waiting to be installed. Things move very slowly on Kauai. The reason for the short notice on the water shut off was that it was an emergency repair for the entire complex and could not be avoided. The fan in the guest bedroom has been replaced and could have been done during your stay if we were aware. The unit is on a quarterly schedule for pest prevention treatment. Per an e-mail from the on-site manager, it was to be done the morning of your check-in. We will check to see why there were ants. Once again, the railing issue and construction noise is news to us, but they will be addressed with the on-site management immediately. We assume, since you began your review by saying, “Overall it was good" you enjoyed the oceanfront location, the extensive remodel of the unit and the ability to see turtles and dolphins during the day and the sunsets nightly from your lanai.
It Doesn’t Get Any Better Than This
This condo is spectacular. It has the most amazing view you could possibly hope to get on any beach anywhere. Positioned just above the rocks, you see - and hear - the amazing sounds of the breaking waves. The condo itself is really spacious and beautifully laid out. The primary bedroom is on one end of the condo, and is big. The bathroom (and it is indeed a room unto itself) is a couple of steps higher than the rest of the room, and has sliding louvered doors that allow you to open them up to see the view, or close them for privacy. The secondary bedroom is smaller - though still plenty big, is located on the other side of the condo for privacy, and has it’s own in-suite bathroom as well. The furnishings are nice, with some really beautiful built-ins. The huge sectional is comfortable, and a perfect place to kick up your feet. But the star of the show is the huge terrace and the walls of glass that open up to that terrace and view. It was just two of us in that nice spacious condo. We didn’t use the second bedroom at all, but the condo is so nice that we were totally good with paying for a two-bedroom unit so we could get that view and location.
Finally a note about the owners. John and Trisha were so nice and helpful. We arrived at night, in the middle of a major storm. There were flooding concerns in the area, and we called both the management company and John and Trisha. They were wonderful. Everything worked out perfectly and they checked in on us multiple times to make sure everything was fine. So even though the property is managed by a prominent company on Kauai, the owners stay very much involved. They are there when you need them!
We’re already looking at returning next year. We loved it that much.
What a nice review. Thank you for taking the time to write it. We hope you are able to return in the near future.
Luxurious!
Beautiful property, excellent guest services for questions, and remarkable home! We saw turtles and dolphins right off the balcony and the sunsets….wow! Simply no better view. House was immaculately clean and updated - would stay again!
Thank you for your nice review. We also spend alot of our time on the lanai watching the turtles and other sea life. And yes, the year round sunsets are amazing.
Great place to stay
Large modern condo as close to the ocean as one can get
Mahalo!
Amazing House
We loved our stay here. The surf crashing up the rocks below our porch was amazing and the condo itself was well appointed. I will say that the AC in the guest room did not work really well at all. But otherwise our stay was great and our communication with the owners and management company terrific. Be aware that the unit was quite a walk away from the parking lot but the view and surf was the reward! Tons of turtles and one day we even watched dolphins jump by! And that relentless surf... Also to note, we are not well used to electric stovetop and used silver foil which melted into it. Both the owners and management company were so gracious about it!
Thanks so much for taking the time to write a review. We wished you would have discovered the Guest room air conditioning vent and thermostat earlier, as it would have improved your stay. With 2 large central air con systems, the bedrooms get very cool. Yes the cooktop was ruined, but now has been replaced. There is a ramp from the parking lot to the unit which helps getting to the Oceanfront. Getting to the best location on the property, as you said, is well worth it. Thanks again, we appreciate the nice comments.
This is definitely one of my favorite places I have stayed ever. Best views in Poipu, and the unit is gorgeous. It has everything you would ever need and more. The only thing I would change is that there were more days available so that we could have stayed longer!!
Absolutely stunning!
This beautifully decorated and well equipped condo is only surpassed by the beauty of the ocean directly in front of the lanai. We thoroughly enjoyed spending time on the large lanai watching the ever changing ocean scene.
The location of this unit is ideal. It is within walking distance of two beautiful beaches and numerous restaurants.
The comfortable furniture, ocean views from every room, and the spacious layout allow for a relaxing uncluttered retreat. We would love to stay here again!
Thanks for taking the time to write a review. The Lanai is where we spend all our time. The turtles are ongoing entertainment.
Everything was perfect!!!
Excellent Vacation
First time in Kauai and I am convinced we stayed in the best condo on the island! This condo has plenty of space, a well stocked kitchen, and the best view on the island! It is beautifully decorated and has the most spacious ensuite I have ever seen. The location is incredible....we could have sat on the lanai all day and night. Definite bonus having a washer/dryer located in the condo unit. The property managers are very attentive and were able to fix an issue with the dishwasher within hours. Thank you for the beautiful flowers and sharing your home with our family. We will be back! Rosanne & Dave
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Thanks for noticing some of the efforts we put into the unit to make it enjoyable. We hope you come back soon!
GREAT STAY
We loved our stay at 5203, as the location of this Condo is better than anything we have seen on the islands.
From morning Coffee, to late afternoon drinks, just hanging out on The Lanai is worth the trip!!
Amazing vacation home
Amazing condo!
This condo is a stunner. Pictures can't come close to explaining the beauty of the crashing wave formations from the lanai. Views from every room in the house. The upgrades are beautiful, but it's all about the 72 ft. lanai. We watched turtles every morning, and couldn\'t stop watching the waves. If you want oceanfront this is the place. I don't think there is a better property in Kauai. Loved it, and we will be back!
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Please come back as soon as you can. The turtles are waiting!
Gorgeous like the pictures, epic vacation home!
Poipu had perfect weather, and there were some great beach options around. We got a little confused about the check-in process as I had forgotten when I got the contract weeks before departure that it was through a local agency handling the home for the owners. We just had to go by the office to pick up keys and it was no problem, so if you get confused, just go through your emails for the contract again! The home was very modern and cool, and it was nice the two bedrooms were on opposite sides of the condo for more privacy. The master suite was like a hotel! We definitely enjoyed our time watching the sunset and the crashing waves from the balcony.
We would definitely stay here again! Home came with beach towels and some chairs and a beach umbrella if you need it. The only downside is the condo is a little bit of a walk from the parking lot with some stairs involved so if you can't do stairs or carry your own luggage up and down it may not be your best option, but if you're able-bodied and don't mind that then it's really one of the most beautiful options for the area!
Thanks so much for writing a review. We hope you return to our oceanfront home soon. We wanted to mention there is a ramp, that avoids all the stairs from the parking lot behind building #2 all the way to our building and to our unit. It is a short stroll down a pathway to the most gorgeous views of all Kauai. Please come back.
The Pictures Say It All!
Location and quality of furnishings
It’s always better than expected. That’s so hard to say about any hotel.
Beautiful space and views.
Perfection in Paradise
Breathtaking views
Incredible view!!
What a view! Unit 5203
This unit was amazing. I think it’s the best one at Makahuena truly. It has everything you need and is beautifully decorated and renovated. It has AC which is unusual at this complex. And the best part is sitting out on the lanai right on the water watching the waves roll in and crash against the rocks. We spent hours just watching this! I would highly recommend this condo for two couples or a family.
This was a fantastic unit with the best view on the island!
Awesome place
