Why you'll Love this condo:

The second-floor entry level features living, dining, kitchen, and lanai areas with cozy furnishings, sofa sleeper, smart TV, dining table for 4, and additional breakfast bar seating. The fully equipped kitchen is perfect to have all your island favorites on hand!

Completing the entry level are the second bedroom (with resort pool view) featuring 2 Twin beds that can be converted to a single King with advance request, a spacious bathroom with shower, a full-size washer and dryer for your convenience, and even a cute wet bar.

As part of the desirable Poipu Kai Resort, you'll also enjoy access to a second resort pool as well as tennis courts along the greenbelt walk to Brennecke's Beach and Poipu Beach Park. Here you will spot sea turtles, and in the right season, humpback whales. There is so much fun to be had from bodyboarding, surfing, snorkeling, or simply relaxing on the beach! Enjoy all that "Sunny Poipu" has to offer from this great condo at "Makanui at Poipu Kai." E Komo Mai!

We had a great time, the property was as we had expected and served us very well. The beach chairs and cooler came in very handy. The upstairs mattress could use an upgrade. Would definitely consider coming back here.

Clean and has Basic Amenities to start vacation
The neighborhood is quiet, walking distance to the beach. Love how clean the property is. Love it more that we have basic necessities for cooking to start our day so we dont have to run to the store. Thank you for the welcome basket. The kids devoured it.

We loved saying here! It had everything we needed and the layout was perfect. AC in the second bedroom would have been nice. We LOVED the AC in the huge master bedroom upstairs.

Very nice property & good location
The property was clean and in a good shape. The agent was fabulous, responding very quickly to our questions. The check-in process was seamless. Location was great, pool very close and close to Poipu beach (within walking distance but we ended up driving). It would be better if an air conditioner can be added to the lower bedroom and proper installation in the upstairs bedroom for a better sleep. Otherwise, there is always a breeze going through the unit. Great unit for family. We enjoyed stating there.

Property Review
We enjoyed our stay. The property manager, Paula, was extremely helpful and responsive. However, the downstairs bedroom and common area are unbearably hot as there is only air conditioning in the upstairs bedroom. The property is also on the upstairs level so would not be accessible if your party needs.

Excellent location in Poipu
Very well equipped and stocked, clean, nicely laid out rental. Good views from the lanai. Especially enjoyed being able to see the mountains and green changing landscapes. Great paved winding walkways to Shipwreck Beach and Brennecker’s Beach. Great for morning strolls or sunset walks. The kitchen is a little dated but very functional. We had a great stay and loved the location of this place.

Delightful!
Nicely appointed condo with full kitchen, which was wonderful for preparing our own meals with local fish and shrimp. Ceiling fans and vented windows kept the indoors pleasant, while porch had table and chairs for outdoor eating and view of the mountains. Beach chairs were an added bonus. Arrangement worked delightfully for us 3 senior citizens! Best location in Poipu.

Summer 2022 Stay
Our family was fortunate to be able to stay at the property for all of July and August of 2022. The condo was well appointed and had most everything one would need for a short or even longer term stay. We appreciated the beach gear that was available (number of quality beach chairs, umbrellas and a couple of snorkel sets among other items) and we were happy to continue paying it forward with some extra kid-gear. The condo was nice and comfortable (best when there is a good breeze moving through the unit), and the AC in the upstairs bedroom did work quite well when needed. The management staff was attentive and quickly responded the few times that we reached out for support. We loved the location, having the pool right outside the unit was great (and also really appreciated the fact that the Makanui properties have their own dedicated pool which was very quiet). Poipu beach was a short walk down the greenway, as was the Hyatt and Shipwreck beach in the other direction. Overall we had a terrific stay and would recommend the unit to anyone looking for a great Poipu vacation.

We had a short but wonderful stay in Poipu. The property’s location was perfect. We walked to shipwrecks beach in 10 minutes and enjoyed the sunrise every morning. The property had wonderful beach accessories and was stocked with the necessities we needed in the kitchen and bathrooms. The pool was wonderful to swim in at night. We would definitely stay there again.

Great condo in an excellent locations
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on this property and would come back in a heartbeat. It was clean, spacious, and the location is great--it's about a 15-minute walk/5-minute drive to the beach. The unit is also right next to the pool, which was great for us and our kids. It wasn't a very busy pool, so we didn't hear any noise in the condo. This is a perfect unit for a family and the twin beds were appreciated by my children who don't enjoy sharing a bed. My only small piece of feedback is that beach towels would have been appreciated. Overall, it was a fantastic stay!

New furniture is very nice. Plenty of beach chairs and dishes and cutlery .. The blinds in the 1st floor bedroom and bath have been broken for 2 years!! Both toilet seats are badly stained. The beach umbrella is broken. No chaise lounge chairs like other properties. Kitchen needs larger pans.
