Oceanfront penthouse with amazing views at Kauhale Makai

Grounds were beautiful and the location is great as it is easy to get to anywhere quickly . Property is as shown on the photos. Loved the BBQ’s down by the pool to be able to grill up some food!

Bathroom door is a pocket door with slats that doesn’t offer much privacy. Was not impressed with the cleaning when we arrived. Food encrusted on kitchen tools, blankets had obviously not been washed recently. Television system difficult to figure out with no information on how to navigate. Paid over $300/night and had expected details like this to be included.

Amazing views! Really comfortable bed. It was a great bonus to have a cooler, umbrella, and chairs available for beach days. Well stocked kitchen and I was happy to locate the blender for adult drinks for evenings in.

I’m not a great sleeper and there was a lot of light in the bedroom. Wider/darker curtains to fully cover the glass doors and something to hide the glow behind the dresser would have been a bonus to the great mattress.

The team was very accommodating. We were able to check in early and check out late! We happened to have a surf lesson the last day. They were very attentive with any questions or concerns and had very clear communications. While we didn’t have a direct view of the sunrise or sunset, the view of the ocean over the pool area was beautiful.

Foldout couch, but it’s actively being replaced

good room shape

no amazing views! Balcony all day in shade. View is ok, but you primarily look to wind craft on hill of other side. You do not see the sun for sunset or sunrise (November), but see the pool and barbecue station. We had several problems: a) rooms and cutlery partially not clean. Cutlery partially rusty! Hair dryer sticky and dusty. Kitchen counter sticky … We do have pictures to prove! Just added one. b) internet partially slow or not available c) 2 evenings water cold in shower We always directly have sent complaints to counterpart. For water they solved, for the rest they just excused…but have not done anything. We would have expected some partial refund … which we suggested. Even not an answer to that. We know that things can happen … but in that case it is not ok just to take the money (which is a lot) and apologize. We hoped to be treated better.

Breakfast on the balcony with ocean views was wonderful. The kitchen served us well, and we made use of the bbq area as well. Same-level laundry was great. The bed and pillows were excellent.

We have absolutely no complaints. Would love to return here some day.

Great location, very clean and updated condo, amazing view, laundry room close, great kitchen with all utensils and most spices. Ice maker that works for my drinks! Comfortable bed, great bathroom, use of beach chairs and towels and more. I did need to call the host with an AC question, and he called back within 3 minutes and solved my problem. I would stay again in a heartbeat.

Not much. The pull-out sofa/bed was tough to close each morning. Some ants in the kitchen, but I have bigger ones at home so not a big deal.

The property was great! It satisfied all of our needs and felt very home like. Had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Fully furnished with all cooking necessities you would need. Only had to buy food to cook. The view is great and so close to the beach. All around perfect place to stay.

The location is excellent. It is peaceful yet within easy reach of shops and restaurants. It is only a short stroll across the lawn to the beach and to the fishpond (a favourite resting place for the turtles 🐢). The view is amazing. The decor is pleasing and the kitchen well equipped. The bed is comfortable. We liked the self check-in facility. The provision of beach chairs was appreciated. Parking is easy.

There were only very minor issues which didn't spoil our enjoyment of the condo. One set of curtains were too long and another set too short. There was a shortage of hanging space in the wardrobe.

Location and positioning of building to maximize views.
