Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cleanest rental we’ve ever stayed in with one of the most spectacular views! It’s located in a private, quiet area, and we spent many peaceful hours on the balcony. Everyone we called or interacted with (check in, maintenance) was super kind, helpful, and responsive. If we ever have the opportunity to come back to Kauai, we would stay here again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view is incredible. You can just see turtles all the time in the water below, we also managed to see dolphins and whales.Otherwise the apartment is really dated. Bathrooms lack ventilation and bathroom located inside one of the bedrooms didn't have functioning door. It does have curtain. So yes, location and especially the view are incredible. Otherwise ok.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love Kauai and always try to stay at Poipu Makai when a unit is available. It is a superb location right on the ocean with crashing waves, beautiful sunsets and wildlife. The unit is always fully equipped and clean. Looking forward to coming back. Construction to the unit above us was a little unfortunate. The Coconut Palm tree pruners were fun to watch but they left a mess for the last two days of our stay. Mahalo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo is all about the view and location. It has an absolutely magnificent view, and sitting on the lanai was amazing. We could see turtles and dolphins, which was really neat.The staff at Kauai Vacation rentals are all very professional and responsive. Great to work with all around!The condo itself definitely needs some upgrades. The kitchen is nice, and the bathrooms have been partially remodeled. However, it has old carpet, a broken pocket door to the primary bathroom shower and toilet (with a burlap curtain in place that doesn't even reach the ground). The condo could use a thorough cleaning - especially the dust build-up on the baseboards and old furniture. But again, the view makes up for all of that!

This property was a winner for us, it was exactly as described. The hosts were so accommodating!!! We were a 2 couples traveling in Feb. for a quick getaway. The price seemed very reasonable for the location and amenities. It is not a new property but we were okay with that. We knew we would be out and about a lot, the nice beaches are a 5 min car ride, we even walked to shipwreck beach in 20 min, the walk takes you by the incredible grounds of the Grand Hyatt. The location of this property is perfect, No air-conditioning but this was not an issue for us, it was cooler at night and we were there in Feb. so it was pretty rainy for a good chunk of our stay. There is a really small pool but we didn’t use it. We preferred the beaches. We picked up some fresh fish at a fish market and cooked some meals in our unit, they had everything we needed. Sat outside in the morning and watched whales. Saw the most incredible rainbow ever too!

Amazing views of sea turtles, dolphins, whales and rainbows 🌈 from our balcony. Prefect location in Poipu, walking distance to Poipu Beach, Brennecke’s Beach Broiler, Shipwreck Beach and the Hyatt, plus Whaler’s Shopping Village. Great value and size for the location, 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo except it desperately is in need of a major update. All the appliances worked, but very old and tired. The shower in the larger bedroom sprayed onto the floor because of half glass.wall. There was no fan on the second bath nor a window for ventilation.. We didn’t want to walk barefoot on the carpet as it looked really old. The condo grounds definitely needed more maintenance, just wasn’t very nice, but you couldn’t beat the location. So overall, we were happy with our condo. Missing Poipu already.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at Poipu Makai C-2 for 5 nights this last Thanksgiving. We visit Kauai at least once a year and always stay in Poipu (although we love the North Shore too!) for the guaranteed sunny weather! This was an excellent rental for a family of 4 with two small children. The master is very spacious with a sink and toilet/shower combo IN the room and the kids enjoyed the two twin bed situation in the second room. We were able to have early check-in and Kauai Vacation Rentals was always gracious and communicative as usual! We loved the welcome treat basket too with coffee and nuts! The photos of the lanai and exterior views on the listing don't do it justice! You can't be any closer to the ocean and have spectacular views of the coastline, evening sunset, a barrage of turtles (like 3+ at any given time in the water!) and we even saw humpback whales breaching one morning while having our coffee. Any meals eaten at home were on the lanai! TV was easy to use and not having AC didn't bother us as it was the winter and we just closed the curtains when we left during the day. Location is key as you're right in between Shipwreck and Brenneke/ Poipu beaches! Pool was just OK as it was very small and shaded all day, but thankfully our kids prefer the beach! Highly recommend this rental and would definitely stay there again!

Property is one of the best locations in Poipu with 8 - 10 minute walks to both Poipu beach and Shipwreck. Marine life everywhere you look out the back of the Condo...Whales, Turtles, Dolphins, etc. Location just cant be beat. Unfortunately the Condo is dated and needs a bunch of upgrades/repairs. Lights in both bathrooms (corroded and dirty, these are 200 dollar items at home depot...get new ones already!!) Washer (rusty and the dial is seized up) Curtains over washer are dirty and worn out, Windows/sliding balcony door (Worn out and hard to open and close) One lamp in Master bedroom doesnt work, Electric Stove/Oven is very old and was dirty when we checked in. Under cupboard light cover by the microwave falling off constantly and is faded and warped, the coffee table book and map are old, tattered and dirty (Dining guide is from 2020), The electrical outlet/box in the second bedroom is rusted. Place needs paint inside and out. Wish I could post pictures in the review. Management company for the Condo (Kauai Vacation Rentals) are excellent (10/10) with great communication during booking, payment, etc. with easy pickup and drop off of keys and info at their office in Lihue. Its a shame that the owner wont maintain the property and spend money on overdue repairs and upgrades it could be a nice place.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: If you are looking for a rental with amazing views and a good location, this is it. However, endorsement comes with a couple caveats. The property is old and could use some updating. The carpets should probably be replaced and the decor is stuck in the 1980s (I, frankly, enjoyed the nostalgia). The property gets a nice breeze in the afternoon, making the lack of air conditioning not an issue. However, the master bath did not have a functioning door to the toilet/shower. A curtain was hung for privacy but it was see-through and didn't even go all the way to the ground. Additionally, the toilet faces the walkway so if the master bedroom curtains are open, someone walking by could see in. Some in our family objected to using the bathroom because of it.Some of the rotating window panes didn't quite work right but most of them did. The appliances all worked. The kitchen was well stocked. The beds were comfortable. The unit is a little far to be considered walking distance to food/shopping but you can reach a beach on foot. Other amenities were nice, e.g. beach chairs, books, binoculars, etc. I'd stay here again if the price was right.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, the vacation was great. The view from the place is amazing. There were a couple of drawbacks though. The parking entrance is a little bit odd, better instructions on where to park maybe (upper lot). The other is the renters above us. I felt they were inconsiderate of the people below them. One of them had heavy footsteps that you can hear all day long walking back and forth from the bedroom to the balcony. Furnitures were being moved about our first night and dragged loudly. There was even maintenance being done till 9 pm at one time. Coming from a fire prone area in the mainland it was surprising to have a brush fire in front of us at this place. We speculated that someone was smoking at the other rental condos and flicked a cigarette towards the ocean but was blown towards our rental area. We had to give the fire extinguisher at the place to the man below us to extinguish the fire. FYI to renters. If you look out the ocean daily, There are three sea turtles that live in the cove. Binoculars were available at the unit for viewing.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I booked this villa, even though I had concerns about it not having A/C. Trust me, you won't need it. We found it comfortable with the fans running, and there are plenty of them. The sunsets from the lanai are absolutely beautiful. 3 beaches are within a 5 to 10 minute walk, and a 4th beach is within walking distance if you're a hiker. This was the first holiday my wife and I have been on where we were not ready to leave. Kauai definitely did not disappoint.

The indoor space is efficient, beds were comfortable, kitchen well stocked, and the beach accessories appreciated! The extra fans came in handy during the hot days. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, but patience pays off.
