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, 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.

Excellent place to stay in Poipu!

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.

Enjoyed our stay

Great location, can't beat hearing the waves crash on the coastline. Unit furnishings a little tired, but unit was clean and comfortable. As others have commented, pool is small, in the shade most of the day and under a tree so lots of leaves floating in it. But Poipu Beach is 5 minutes away so who needs a pool :-)

Awesome buew

The biggest draw to. This condo is the view- it is exactly as you see in the advertisement for the property. You could see turtles swimming from your balcony. The condo was clean and had everything we needed. Some things needed some updating - ie the screen door did not close properly and the coffeemaker was old. The location was great - about a 10 min walk to Poitou Beach and close to other beaches and shopping,

Beautiful views!

This condo has spectacular views from the large lanai. We enjoyed watching the whales, turtles, boats, and night divers ...there was always something to watch! 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.

This is a wonderful Condo!

The condo was clean and fully stocked with all the essentials. It was very comfortable and the location was perfect. The manager was prompt in responding to the one request we made. It was exactly as advertised, including the spectacular views of the sunsets, the turtles and the many whales that were going by out front! We would rent here again on our next trip.

Can't be Closer to the Ocean!

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!

Great view, will come back again!

The location is great, every morning we have breakfast with sea turtles floating around, every evening we have snacks with sunset. The facility is a bit old, and keep in mind that there is NO AC. Just keep the blinds open to have breeze, it is cool.

One complain though. We arrived Kauai on 6/23/21. Kauai county does not request green code or Covid test for inter islands travel since 6/15. But property management company kept sending me texts/emails asked for green QR code but since we did not test when we left Maui, which was perfectly fine, our codes were NOT green. I hope management company could be updated with latest policy.

This villa did not disappoint. If you're concerned about this villa not having A/C(as I was), don't worry about it. You don't need it, at least we didn't in June. The view at sunset is magnificent. Poipu, Brenneke, and Shipwreck Beaches are all within walking distance, as is the very secluded Gillans beach, if you're willing to hike a bit. Thanks to Lucy at Kauai Vacation Rentals for recommending Poipu Makai C-2.

 We spent four nights here in July - it was a great location in Poipu. The view is fantastic! - we really loved eating breakfast and lunch out on the balcony and enjoying the stars at night. Plus the property is very close to all we needed in Poipu and the rest of the island. It was a perfect place for us to retreat to each night. The condo was clean, private, and had all of the amenities we needed, including some beach gear. We loved Kauai and hope to return at some point - we will definitely look into reserving this property again!

Clean and comfortable condo. Well equipped kitchen. At least a mile to a sandy beach, however. The best part is the fantastic, up close view of the waves.
