Welcome to paradise in this two bedroom, two bath, no stairs ground floor condo that lives like a house. Your favorite part just might be the massive lanai that spans the length of the unit and provides ample room to sunbathe, curl up with a book, or dine in tropical paradise while you and your guests will eat, drink and gaze at majestic Ha'upu Mountain. It is quite a site from the lanai, living room and master bedroom.
Inside, you'll find a dining area with ample room to entertain guests and a living room with a sleeper sofa, allowing the unit to accommodate up to six people. Access the lanai from the living room or the master bedroom which has AC and it's own separate hall for separation from the other bedroom. Makanui unit 712 is a corner unit tiled throughout with extra louvers on front, back and side walls for maximum air flow, although if needed, BOTH bedrooms have AC. The completely renovated condo includes a full kitchen remodel that provides an open floor plan, stainless steel appliances, attractive tile backdrop and granite countertops. The kitchen is stocked with cooking supplies, Tupperware and all that is needed to create a feast. The space is lovely, additionally, there is a built-in-desk for remote work in paradise.
The unit is conveniently located well off Poipu Road while still being perfectly positioned between Poipu Beach Park and Shipwreck Beach. The pathways weave through beautifully landscaped gardens and are paved for ease. We have a beach closet with Boogie boards, towels, kid's sand toys, umbrellas and chairs for your use and enjoyment.
As members of Poipu Kai Resort, you have access to Pickleball and tennis courts that can be reserved for a nominal fee. Drop in tennis is available several mornings per week. You will also have access to two pools, the Makanui pool, which is just steps from your door and very private and quiet. The Poipu Kai Resort Community pool is also available by the tennis courts and has a hot tub and is often more lively and close to Kalapaki Joe's Sports Bar where you can grab a drink and bite to eat.
As you walk through the trails of the lush gardens of Poipu Kai Resort, you will not have to walk far to find several dining spots nearby. There is Brennecke's Beach Broiler, Brenneck's Beach Deli, Puka Dog and the restaurants found at the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa including Stevenson Library which offers amazing sushi with fabulous cocktails, and a view of the ocean. You can also fine dine at Tide Pools as Koi fish swim nearby. There is also more casual dining including pizza, salads, sandwiches and much more. Another favorite of ours is to walk to the Grand Hyatt and grab coffee and breakfast on their breath taking patio. If you are a hiker, after breakfast take the cliff hike to Mahaulepu Beach where you can take your first swim of the day.
If you are looking to sit back and relax in the condo, there is plenty of space to spread out and play games that are provided, or relax with a book in the sun chairs on the Lanai, 3 flat screen Smart Tv's with complimentary Netflix and Hulu in the living room, and each bedroom. Whether you are here for play or relax, we have you covered.
If you're up for driving, there are so many hikes around Kauai. Some of our favorites are the Sleeping Giant, the Kalalou Trail and Okolehao Trail. Also a trip up to Hanalei Bay never disappoints. You can kayak down a winding river, walk into a massive cave, beach ...

Perfectly located unit on our favorite part of the Island. Interior was beautiful, clean and spacious. My family of 5 (age 16 and up) felt like there was more than enough room to cook, sleep and simply relax. Our favorite place to hang out was on the huge lanai which had beautiful mountain views! We were walking distance to several beaches and restaurants. There is a closet full of all the beach equipment we needed to enjoy those beach days. We made memories that our family will cherish forever.

We had a wonderful week and found this condo to have a terrific location for exploring the island. Beautiful easy walk to Brennecke andPoipu beaches. Beautifully manicured grounds at Poipu Kai and easy drive to Grand Hyatt. So much variety. The grandkids- ages 7 and 10 cried when it was time to leave

Large two bedroom accommodations - excellent location - close proximity to trail that goes through resort to the beach, tennis courts, or the Hyatt Resort. Easy check in with electronic access to make it easier for all members to be able to gain access. We enjoyed the extras - boogey boards, chairs, etc. Pool and barbecue close by. Enjoyed our time.

I’ve been to Hawaii many times and this has, without a doubt, the most beautiful and peaceful view of any place we’ve stayed!! The location was perfect- close to the best beaches, restaurants and shopping and we walked to some and drove to others. The condo is lovely and has all the cookware you’d need. If I were to make any improvement, it would be to upgrade the sofa bed to a more comfortable bed. The other beds were great! The owner’s are wonderful and the brochure had so much information about the area- it was easy to navigate and to experience it all. I would definitely go back!!!

A comfortable and relaxing place to stay. We loved to walkability to so much. The pool was a nice alternative to the beach on those extra windy days! 3 beds and 2 bathrooms made for a great experience for all of us!

We truly enjoyed staying at this property! It had close access to the beach, and we spent every morning going for a walk to the beach where we saw seals, turtles and dolphins. The extra amenities really made a difference. The beach chairs and boogie boards were a huge hit! The kitchen was fully stocked and the rooms were spacious. Sharon was communicative and a great host. We would definitely stay again!

I always do a great deal of research in selecting a condo/home for us to stay when on vacation. We have rental property that we rent out to guests so I am very particular about certain things. This condo did not disappoint. Sharon provided everything we needed plus extra amenities that made our stay even more special. The communication with her was great! I highly recommend this property to anyone staying in Kauai. It is in a perfect location. The walks to the Grand Hyatt to watch the sunsets were very nice. The beach is within walkiing distance as well. We saw lots of sea turtles and seals resting on the beach. So much fun! Very nice restaurants are a quick drive away. We would like to stay here again.

Sharon's condo is spacious, modern and perfect for my family of 5. The place is super clean and has everything you need, including 4 beach chairs, beach umbrella, boogie boards, snorkeling gears and a good size cooler. It is very close to the best beaches. On the day before our departure, the maui fire broke out. Sharon reached out to me right away and see if our flight would be impacted. She offered us to stay for free if we need to change our flights. Luckily our flight to the big island wasnt impacted and left on time. Her generosity and thoughfulness is very appreciated. I definitedly will book again when we come back.

Our stay at Makanui resort in Poipu Kai was perfect. Sharon and David's condo is lovely and conveniently located to Brennecke and Poipu Beaches for boogie/body surfing (10 min walk) or a short drive to Lawai for the best snorkeling. The unit was very roomy and quiet for a family of four with a lanai with gorgeous mountain views. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to prepare breakfasts/lunches (even a rice cooker for spam musubi). The best part all beach supplies were provided including chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards and snorkel gear and cooler! Everything you need for happy days at the beach! Our family had the best time and we were very comfortable at Makanui condo. I cannot recommend it enough. We hope to visit again soon. Mahalo!
