We had an AMAZING stay at Makana Kauai’s Puu Poa condo #114!! The large, well-appointed space was perfect for our family of four. The view of the ocean and sound of the waves gently crashing against the shore was pure bliss.
The primary bedroom was spacious and the king bed very comfortable (as were the pillows). Our 18-year-old son claimed the second bedroom, while our 13-year-old daughter made the pullout couch area just inside the foyer her personal space for the week. With the three other large, comfortable seating areas there was no shortage of room for relaxing at night after our daytime adventures.
The full kitchen has every possible amenity we could need. We did a lot of hiking and long days at the beach so the ability to store food for “picnic” lunches was very convenient.
Full washer and dryer in the second bathroom was a must have for our hiking clothes and swimsuits. Internet connection was strong and stable during our entire visit. There were beach towels, four beach chairs, two umbrellas, and a cooler available for our use - very convenient. Parking was always available, and our neighbors were quiet.
Puu Poa’s physical location is fabulous; walking distance to the amazing Hideaways Beach trailhead, a short drive to parking for Queens Bath, 15-minute drive to Hanalei, 25-minute drive to Anini Beach (great spot for sea turtles), about 45-60 minutes to the east side of the island.
We didn’t have the energy for pool time in the evenings, but we did walk down there to check it out; it’s a great spot with ample seating and umbrellas and very clean. Similarly, we did not golf but the condo’s location in the beautiful golf course community would be heavenly for avid golfers.
Our host was incredibly welcoming and communicative; reached out to me within an hour of first booking the condo, and then several times before our trip to provide valuable information. Our host information included tips and tricks on some of the sites, including getting the shuttle to Ha’ena State Park, which we did on our first day and LOVED it!
I’d go back tomorrow if I could. Thank you Makana Kauai!!
