I thought the stay was good and it was a good value for the price. The place could use some sprucing up, but it’s next to the ocean, so it’s understandable that some things are harder to keep up with. It was nice that there were beach chairs and other things we might need, so we didn’t have to purchase them. Everything worked well. The view is a little different than what is shown in the listing, but it’s still beautiful. The location is great and close to the beach, which was really convenient. The manager was very responsive when we accidentally locked ourselves out and was there within 10 minutes to open the door for us. Overall, we had a good stay and felt it was a good value for the price.

Clean and comfortable!
Great experience, I received email updates pre, during and after our stay. All instructions were precise and informative. I'd stay here again.
We did clean the towels. Your view was great as far as being close to the water and having mostly what is needed to cook in a kitchen. It was spacious and the beds are very comfy. It is very hard to open the front door and there are a few upgrades that could be done through out the house. Overall the stay was pleasant.

Beautiful stay at Makahuna Villas
We had a lovely stay at the villas! We had just one other couple with us, and we had plenty of room. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was fairly well stocked and clean, and it was so convenient to have a washer and dryer in the villa. We had one issue with one of the window a/c units, but a call to the agency got it fixed that day. Thank you for an enjoyable stay on beautiful Kauai!

Enjoyed our location
Having the greenbelt path and the shore path nearby made it very easy to get a lot of walks in during our stay. The proximity to Brennecke's & Kalapaki Joe's made for easy access to lunch/Happy Hour/dinner.
We really enjoyed the views of the ocean while hanging out on the balcony during rainy periods. Unit was true to pictures & description. Great stay overall.
The location was absolutely perfect and beautiful! The AC units in the bedrooms made sleeping very comfortable. We enjoyed the ocean view and walks on the rocks .

Thank you for your wonderful review, and we hope you visit again soon!
Management company was excellent. Emails and texts were promptly answered. The location was fantastic and the view was beautiful. The not-so-good: the entire unit was very dated and needs some improvements: cracked tiles in the kitchen, scuffed and nicked furniture, rusted door knobs and appliances, bathroom fixtures pitted, baseboards coming off, etc. But everything was very clean, including the linens, towels, bedsheets and pillows. Overall I’d probably recommend it but would provide caveats.

Aloha Charles, Glad you enjoyed your stay with us and thanks for the feedback. The Makahuena is an older complex very close to the ocean, this unit does need some updates but we defiantly do our best to provide a clean unit for our guest. Mahalo
We loved staying here for the second half of our honeymoon. We appreciated how everything you needed was there, easy to find, and offered more space. Even more incredible is the proximity to the coast to watch the waves crash in. We would definitely return here if we find ourselves back in Kauai!

Awesome location
The location was awesome. Within walking distance to the beach. Beautiful view of the sunrise from the lanai. We watched the sunrise and sunset each day.
Very clean and well equipped for vacationing, beds are comfortable. Would be nice to have towel bars in the bathrooms for washcloths and hand towels. 2 steep flights of stairs to the front door, plus another to bedroom level will make staying difficult for anyone with knee, back, or mobility issues, but the ocean view from the balcony was lovely.
