SPECTACULAR OCEANFRONT PENTHOUSE - Air Conditioned 3 Bedroom/3 Bathroom

Poipu Makai B3 is located on a bluff a couple of yards from the water with stunning, full uninhibited views of the ocean. Enhance your senses – the visual beauty of the waves crashing against the shoreline and the gentle sound of the living and breathing sea. Spend hours counting the turtles swimming at your doorstep or the whales and dolphins playing or breaching while you relax surrounded by tranquility and peacefulness on the large lanai. Your oasis is only a half-mile walk to world renowned Brennecke’s Beach and Poipu Beach where you can choose to play in the water next to sunning sea turtles, snorkel or surf.

The 1450 square foot 2 story townhouse underwent a complete renovation which was finished in June, 2022 in order to make your stay even more comfortable, a home away from home. The townhouse is situated to take advantage of the coastal breeze which incessantly permeates throughout the unit. Air conditioning is available in all 3 bedrooms and the family room for warmer days and nights. The two master bedroom suites are privately situated with King sized beds and their own en-suite bathrooms. The exceptionally large second-floor master bathroom has a walk-in shower with a separate large soaking tub and a beautiful spa-like atmosphere. The third bedroom on the first floor, with its own private lanai, can be arranged as two twin beds or configured as a King bed as you choose.

The sunlit kitchen faces the ocean and is adorned with new grained wood cabinets, contrasting black granite countertops and contemporary stainless steel appliances. Eat your meals al fresco with an unobstructed view of the ocean on the large solid natural wood dining table steps outside the kitchen. The adjoining oversized family room has a large sectional where everyone can relax after a fulfilling day exploring the island. New comfortable furnishings offer a contemporary Hawaiian flare with up-to-date technologies – 3 smart TVs, the highest-speed internet on Kauai and a Sonos surround-sound system to listen to your playlist. An architecturally impressive spiral staircase connects the family room with the large loft, a small oasis in itself.

The townhouse is located in a quiet, pristine, exclusive 15 unit complex with a soaking pool and barbecue for your convenience. Please note that the townhouse is unfortunately not wheelchair accessible or suitable for people with mobility issues; multiple stairs are required to access the Penthouse.

For your enjoyment, access to the upscale Poipu Beach Athletic Club is free. A 5 minute drive, or approximately 1 mile away, you and your guests have access to a beautiful pool with sand beach and waterslide ideal for kids and grownups alike. In addition, PBAC has an expansive indoor/outdoor gym (only in Hawaii!) with free weights and machines, aerobic equipment (bikes and treadmills), fitness classes and yoga. 4 USTA tennis courts, 3 pickleball courts and 2 basketball half-courts are also available to you in addition to showers and locker rooms.

Fun in Poipu
The condo was clean and well-appointed. All communications were very good. The only potential drawback for some people might be that there are 40 steps in order to get up to unit from parking. That is a lot when toting heavy suitcases. We were told there were 20 steps when we inquired in advance, but in reality there are many more than that.

Our stay exceeded our expectations! We're so grateful that we had this experience: breathtaking sunsets, sleeping and relaxing to the magical sounds of the ocean, daily turtle sightings, ample room for the 6 of us, a multitude of amenities ..... we could not have asked for more. The location is perfect as well! Book this home!

Best location, Setup and Water Views in Piopu
I did hours of research on finding a place to stay in Kauai. We decided on the Piopu area (best location in the south to stay on the island for sunnier days, locations to activities/restaurants/beaches, and the unit had direct ocean views to be able to watch the sunset and sea life. The condo was amazing with having 3 bedrooms a large loft area and 3 nice bathrooms. It was well stocked with items for the beach and all the kitchen tools you would need. We decided to splurge by getting a 3 vs. 2 bedroom unit and it was well worth it for our high school daughter and son to each have their own room. The unit could easily accommodate 6-8 people comfortably. We highly enjoyed watching the sea turtles, whales and dolphins from the outside dining table each day. (Note: the unit does have a lot of stairs so for elderly people it would be a challenge. But it is well worth it since you are higher up to have the direct Ocean Views and Vaulted Ceilings.). Parking was fine with plenty of spaces on the top of the parking garage. The unit's AC worked well but we hardly used it since the windows were all well built with screens/openings to let in the ocean breeze and fans in all the rooms. We would highly recommend this condo and plan on returning in the next couple years.

Phenomenal view
The view and breaking waves are unbeatable!!! No swimming beach below but several within a short drive. The condo gets tremendous fresh breezes passing throughout the entire unit, and has a lovely dining area in a breeze protected patio overlooking the ocean. Ceiling Fans and individual AC units in every room allowed all to choose their comfort levels. A separate reading lift with tv and a spacious great room gave a larger family space to be comfortable at their own activities. Beds were very comfortable with additional blankets etc. Communication with host was superb and maintenance needs handled swiftly. No issues with door codes which are not uncommon in rentals. There are many stairs coming and going from parking, but nice hand rails if needed. Would definitely rent this unit again.

The View!!!
This property was clean, spacious, well-stocked and provided the most incredible view of the ocean, including whales, sea turtles, sunsets and crashing waves! Would definitely stay there again! (One note of warning to those with limited mobility: there are a number of steps one must take to get to the condo because it is on the third floor and there is no elevator; however, if that is not an issue for anyone in your party, then you will be well-rewarded upon arriving inside the condo.)

Best stay in Poipu
Our stay at the condo in Poipu was amazing! Our family of 4 had plenty of room and the condo was very well supplied! Lots of kitchen dishes and supplies, and I loved that there were so many beach supplies too (chairs, umbrella, wagon, etc.). The location can’t be beat - we loved having coffee every morning on the balcony and watching turtles, which we saw every morning! We also saw spinner dolphins one day! We will definitely be back!!

Outstanding comfort and views
Can’t say enough good things about the owner, Steve, and the property manager, Paul. They were so flexible and easy to work with when one of our group almost missed our trip because of Covid. That being said, the condo was fabulous. It’s in an older building and has many steps leading to the top floor unit but you are rewarded by unobstructed views of the ocean! We sat on the patio every morning and ate breakfast watching the waves and sea turtles swimming. Perfect location - easy walk to Poipu Beach and everything you need for a day at the beach is at the condo. The kitchen is well equipped with plenty of dishes, pots, pans, coffee maker etc. The beds are super comfortable and the 6 of us had plenty of room. Definitely would recommend staying here. Clean, neat and very comfortable with the best views ever! Don’t let this one get away!

Perfect mix of setting and amenities for kids and adults
This spot was perfect for our family vacation. The location and property lavish and were in setting with amazing ocean view and view up the coast, with a perfect sunset after a long day exploring the island. The kids also loved watching the turtles swim from the balcony. The club access also made for hours of fun while keeping active even on the days we didn’t want to drive much. It was pretty great.

We had an absolutely spectacular stay. I plan on returning on my next trip to Kauai!
The townhouse is spacious and, as pictured, has the most striking view of the water, turtles &dolphins included. Inside, everything is comfortable, modern &clean. The interior is well-decorated, &no detail was overlooked, from the thoughtful welcome basket with coffee &wine to the kitchen cabinets that are fully stocked with spices, cookware &appliances. We especially appreciated the strength &efficiency of the AC units during peak heat outside! The beach is a short & scenic walk away - under 8 minutes - & the townhouse is conveniently stocked with everything you might need for a day lounging out by the water: umbrella, chairs, beach wagon, & more. In the early mornings & afternoons, you can catch sea turtles & seals lounging on the sand! One of our favorite perks was the access to the Athletic Club. The amenities were beautiful, & there is ample opportunity to relax poolside after a workout. I enjoyed playing tennis on the outdoor courts, & the food & drink menu at the club grill is expansive & delicious. However, by far, the most special part of this trip was the townhouse itself. The location & amenities absolutely can’t be beat, & the complex itself is well-maintained. Situated peacefully on the bluff, you can spend hours out on the lanai, soaking in the view & luxuriating in the ocean breeze. No need to feel pressure to pack your day with activities to maximize your time on the island - everything you need is directly at your fingertips. It's truly an oasis at home.

Overall, truly a paradise vacation! So grateful to Steve and his family. A true Mahalo!
My stay at this property was nothing but superb. Although nothing required his attention while I was there, Steve was extremely attentive to all my pre-vacation questions about restaurants, kids activities, excursions, hikes and Poipu Beach which was only a 7 minute walk away. The unit is immaculately clean and functional with open spaces and gorgeous views of the Pacific (I counted as many as 7 turtles at a time swimming in the surf below the lanai!). The beds were very comfortable, and everything in the unit worked as expected. The rhythmic ocean waves were so soothing. There is an A/C unit in each bedroom and the family/main room, and all functioned beautifully. The loft - above the family room and accessed via a stunning spiral staircase - is a second family room with a TV that the kids used while my wife and I cooked meals downstairs and planned the next day's events. The kitchen, which had everything we needed, is beautiful. Movie nights were perfect with the TV/sound system combo, for audiophiles like me. The complex is well maintained and clean, and I appreciated the off-street parking availability as well as the well-lit stairwells when we returned after going out to dinner. I used the grill in the pool area which was convenient, but we always ate our food on the unit's beautiful lanai, overlooking the waves and sunset! The athletic facilities were beyond expectations - the PBAC pool and workout facilities were a Disneyland for my kids, myself, and my wife.

If I could give a 10 star review I would! The townhouse was absolutely perfect with so many special touches it made the stay all the more perfect. The balcony and views of the ocean were breathtaking and the sound of ocean waves as you slept will make it hard to go home. The host/hostess also made traveling so easy by supplying shampoo/soap, basic kitchen and laundry needs and all the beach equipment you could possibly need. Even first aid supplies, bug spray and sun tan lotions were available. The gift of wine and coffee was very much appreciated. Our stay exceeded expectations and we’re sorry to go!

Absolutely loved our stay. Very comfortable for 5 adults and it was well prepared for our visit. On its own it would have been great. It’s the view and the location, though, that made it incredible! Lots of turtles and two mornings we saw pods of dolphins swim by the condo. And just a few minutes from beaches we really liked, giving you a chance to snorkel and a chance to enjoy waves right next door to each other. Also grocery stores, restaurants and shopping very close by. In other words, we’ll be back!

Breathtaking View!!!!
This condo was so unbelievably beautiful and clean! I had actually seen it 6 years ago and said if ai ever visited Hawaii that is where I would stay. Back then I did not even know what Island it was on, but knew every morning I wanted to walk down the stairs and be greeted with that view! It had been upgraded since then and was so modern, open, clean and inviting. As other reviewers have stated seeing the big turtles right outside your balcony was so nice. There are a lot of stairs as others have also mentioned so keep that in mind if traveling with family that would have difficulty. Our trip was everything I dreamed it would be and more! I loved watching the sunset in the evening and hearing the waves crashing on the rocks. You will not be disappointed with this place! Book it!

Great property, good time
We enjoyed our stay. Pros: Updated and nice interior and decor. Amazing TV and sound system. Everything you need is provided for the stay,not much need of supplies beyond food. Wine and coffee was supplied upon arrival Mattresses are extremely comfortable Nearby beaches are nice Beach equipment is provided A/C in the rooms blow cold Washer and dryer on site is very helpful Owner and local help very responsive to questions and needs. Cons: A/C is questionable in the main room, trouble cooling the main room. Light switch at the top of the stairs needs repair, same with the switch in downstairs bath. Beaches are not really that close at all and require driving to. Upstairs living room not really useable due to heat. Complex itself rather ran-down, weeds at the small soaking pool, pool bathroom light doesn’t work, lights along the stairs never turned on. Entry gate to the small pool is broken, needed to jump the fence to enter. Delay with check-in info (owner very accommodating and apologetic)

Incredible ocean views
The beauty of the condo was only surpassed by the beauty of the ocean. The views from this oceanfront condo are fantastic! We all enjoyed relaxing on the lanai or in family room while being mesmerized by the ocean waves crashing on the rocks and gorgeous sunsets. The condo was very comfortable for us and our 4 adult children. It was well stocked with kitchen, bath, and laundry products. The beach items were also appreciated. Our group really enjoyed the access to Poipu Beach Athletic Club, particularly for the pickle ball courts and workout areas. The check-in and check-out procedures were very simple.
