Summary: We had the best stay at Maluhia Makai house. The house is exactly as advertised, even exceeded our expectations. The kids loved the heated pool while the parents had grandparents enjoyed the hammock during the day and fire pit at night. The location was perfect, 10 minute walk to the shops or 5 minute car ride to Poipu Beach. Will definitely stay here again and would 100% recommend to anyone who plans on visiting Kauai!
