4.5 star! Had everything we needed but could have been more comfortable with small kids.
We (3 adults, 4 kids age 3-8) stayed for 7 daysPros: Really effective AC and fans, kitchen with the basics, comfy beds, a ton of towels, beach toys, etc. Property manager was responsive. The exterior was well maintained had wonderful views for the sunset Check out procedure was so simple that I felt like I was missing something.Without small kids, I wouldn't have had any major issues, but as a parent I would've liked to know the following:The condo was a long way from the parking lot, down a ramp and up two flights of stairs. Getting 4 kids to/from the car with groceries and stuff was a huge hassle. There weren't very many kid friendly (unbreakable) dishes, and not enough bowls in general). Most of the tables seemed to require coasters, and the sinks were too tall for most of the kids to use without help. Pocket doors with slats for bathrooms made privacy difficult. Minor cons: knives were dull, one of the bedroom TVs was missing its cable remote and streaming services didn't seem to work on it, the numbers on the stove were faded beyond legibility, and the range hood buttons seemed barely to work. None of these were particularly inconvenient, but still. No on site recycling besides redeemable cans and bottles and corrugated cardboard. Maybe that's common here? We had to load the rest of the recycling into our car and drive it down the road. Overall a comfortable place!

Amazing first stay in a beautiful condo!
The condo was very nice and included all amenities my family needed for our stay. It was centrally located around all our activities, and easy to get to. We especially loved enjoying our coffee on the ocean view balcony, while watching the sunrise! We would happily stay here again! Mahola, for a wonderful visit!

Great first time to Kauai
We were two families of 4 and had a great time here! The place comfortably fit all of us, we could cook most of our meals here, and the location was amazing; so close to the beach and great walking. The pool access was great too, and they provided beach/pool towels, beach chairs, boogie boards, and a cooler, which we used nearly every day. The property manager was easy to contact and responsive, and made our trip smooth; they left a great welcome basket with extra keys, instructions, and local guides. We would definitely come back here!

Perfect spot for 2 families with 4 little kids!
This was our second "framily" trip to Kauai and staying at this specific unit-- the kitchen and living area allow us to cook our own meals and of course laundry in-unit is a must with kiddos! There are 3 bathrooms- 1 tub, 1 shower. Beautiful grounds, salt water pool and jacuzzi overlooking the ocean, mostly friendly folks who live there, and tons of small lizards to chase. And less than 10 minute walk to Poipu Beach! Note: a wagon is essential for hauling your littles and beach gear. We hope to be back to this unit next time!

Decent Condo
Overall we had a wonderful trip! We have stayed at different condos at Makauena on 6 different trips to the beautiful island. This was the first trip we have had that did not stand up to the other condos we have stayed at. We had 2 families, with 3 kids total. For our size family, we loved the layout. Upstairs was a prefect kids sleeping area which had one full sized bed, a day bed and a trundle. We loved that it had so many supplies from beach chairs, umbrellas, snorkeling gear, boogie boards, etc. One bedroom has a pretty small shower, which made it challenging to clean off, shave legs, etc. There was also not much space (dressers) to put away clothing in the bedrooms which I didn't even think about; but maybe not everyone uses that. There were some issues that I wanted to pass along to hopefully improve for the future. We planned on cooking much of our meals as we have kids and that is why we usually book a condo vs. hotel. Upon arriving and heading to Costco, we got a text that the fridge was not working in the condo and a new one would arrive tomorrow. They noted they put an apartment size fridge in for us (which was about half the size of a normal one). Because of this we could only put in our food - not beverages. This also meant we did not have an ice machine. The new fridge did arrive as promised the next day, however the ice machine line was not able to be setup that day. They returned the next day to fix it which was nice. We ended up spending extra money those first few days to get ice. The property could use a little love. The first day we arrived, it was very windy. We noticed one of the screens on the upstairs window looking like it was going to fall out. We decided to pulled it inside as it had broken off and was dangling. I told a couple people but it remained off the entire trip and we tried not to use the window too much which was a bummer as the upstairs can get warmer. Thankfully there were two windows upstairs. We had a little trouble with the kitchen equipment not working 100%. The stove lights did not stay on, they would flicker. All of the lettering on the stove burners were worn off and we could not easily read which burner would turn on and at what temperature it was at. This made cooking tricky. The kitchen faucet would not stay in the holder and wanted to fall out. Some of the bedroom lights would not work. Maybe they needed a new light bulb? We checked in and the main remote batteries in needed to be replaced.

Good from far but far from good
Find another place before booking here. We chose this place due to number of bedrooms for our family of 5 and ocean view. Overall the place appears nice, however it is not maintained at all. Prior to arrival, the refrigerator broke and we used a small one provided for our family of 5 (at least we were notified). Upon arrival, the balcony railing was fenced off with a sign that it’s being reviewed for structural integrity. I emailed the management company and did not receive a response until our last day. In the meantime we did not feel comfortable leaving our 3 kids on the balcony due to the safety risks. Never was this disclosed or offered a different room without the risks of the railing failing. Other issues include 2 window screens blowing off allowing bugs in (I called and they lied saying they fixed it. The screen remained on the edge of the roof for 4 days). A 3rd screen was loose and constantly banged against the window each night. The master bed frame supports were broken. The place could be nice but every where you turn there are incomplete / unfinished work (holes in drywall from past nails, paint touched up in different colors around switches, broken mini blinds, stained / dirty blinds, etc). To top it off the last day our daughters room smelled like a sewer line was open. This was the most expensive place we’ve stayed in Hawaii and by far are worst. Pick any place else.

Not Clean too many stairs
DO NOT STAY HERE The property sits on a hill the listing does NOT tell you that there are stairs and a hill to get to the unit the property managers do not care about it. the screen door was filthy the floors were filthy I mopped them 3 times just to be able to walk on them without shoes. one of beds upstairs had lots of hair on the sheets and a stain on the bedding. The master bedroom window you could not see out of it was so dirty. The loft was missing a screen that was on the roof area outside of the master bedroom I had to retrieve it so the window could be opened for ventilation. The large refrigerator was broken so they put in a very small fridge too small for food and drink for 6 people for a week we had to shop every day for food what a hassle. The furniture on the balcony it termite ridden and the pile of termite droppings was gross I have pictures of all of these things. I asked for my cleaning fee to be refunded and the refused. DO NOT STAY HERE. The balcony railing has a earring not to go near it so the ocean views were gone. the 2nd bedroom floor is being consumed by termites Really enjoyed spending time outside of the unit Poipu beach is great and close.

Wonderful first time visit
This property was very nice and was exactly what we were expecting. There was plenty of space and the amenities were also good. While we were there the island had some pretty severe wind and it did make the screens rattle (and come off in one case). We did have to vacuum and clean the floors more than I would have expected for our check in but it was not a huge issue for us.

This condo is in a convenient location… up the hill from Poipu Beach ( you can walk there) where turtles come in to sleep at night, lots of reef fish to see snorkeling. Heritage Trail is a block away and was great for our morning sunrise walks. Close to various shopping places for food and supplies. It is Poipu so there are a lot of folks here. Pool was great for kids. There are a few funky things in the condo… dishwasher floods the counter if you don’t run the garbage disposal prior to, range hood does a light show on occasion and the fan does not always come on ( you have to mess around with it). All things we got used to. We enjoyed staying here.
