About this property
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.

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.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Jim Heckman
My wife and I purchased our condo a few years after Hurricane Iniki and have taken great pride in restoring this treasure to a level that allows ourselves and all who use it, to enjoy there stay in Kauai to the fullest. Everything has been replaced or restored. The beds and furniture are new and extremely comfortable and the floors have been beautifully tiled. The kitchen has been totally remodeled with granite counter tops and solid walnut cabinets. The kitchen appliances are all new.
As a nice touch, a large mirror was installed over the couch at the same time and appears to bring the ocean into that room. It's amazing!
We would love to have you stay in our place. Our referrals speak volumes.

Why they chose this property
We have traveled all over the Hawaiian islands and nothing compares with Poipu beach. Although Poipu is remote and quiet compared to the much more populated Mauai and Oahu, it still has every thing needed for a memorable vacation in Hawaii. The weather really does make the nickname "sunny Poipu" appropriate.
What makes this property unique
We and all of our guests love that our home (Unit 2103) is on the ground level of the complex providing direct access to the pool and community BBQ. Ground level in the Makahuena Complex means better access to everything and also means a much cooler atmosphere (heat rises) inside. Indeed, with the doors and windows open the trade winds provide all the cooling normally needed. Having said that, we added central air conditioning in 2022 to take care of the rare too hot summer day.
