Hikina Kona, located between Lawai Road and Kaumualii Highway, is a coastal and rural Lawai neighborhood with plantation-era textures and ocean-facing trade winds. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Lawai Road and Kaumualii Highway junction, where small storefronts, service counters, and roadside fruit stands set a working, local rhythm. Talk Story Bookstore anchors the area with shelves and readings, while Kauai Coffee Company’s estate grounds and tasting room add a distinctly island-grown ritual. Low-slung homes and older cottages mix with garden lots, and the landscape shifts quickly from cane-era fields to salt air. Days tend to orbit around beach time at nearby Lawai Beach and sunset walks toward Spouting Horn. The pace reads calm and practical, shaped by highway convenience and open skies.

If you are looking for a spacious condo with incredible scenery, this is it! Building 2 at Makanui is well known for its endless visuals of the Hoary Head Mountain Range and the whitewater, sandy beach spectacle at popular Shipwrecks Beach. Building 2 is a unique building at Makanui in that it is a fourplex, separate from the main Makanui complex with nearby covered parking. The BBQ area has a lovely garden and is quite charming and private. The floorplan of this unit is all about ample space, trade wind exposure, wonderful light, and dramatic ocean and mountain views. The entry level has a large bedroom, large bath, an open, airy kitchen, living and dining area. All have views. The wide lanai runs the length of the living and dining room and offers a jaw dropping panorama of mountains, beach and ocean. A well placed window in the stairwell frames dramatic Mt. Haupu and greets you on the way to the master suite. The master suite is huge and has vaulted ceilings and a great bath with double sinks. The extra space off the master makes a great area for an office. There is plenty of storage space. Poipu Kai Resort amenities include 24 hour resort patrol, lit walking paths to beaches, shopping and restaurants and an additional pool with a hot tub and are included in the purchase. This unit is currently owner occupied and is sold furnished with the ability to be a turnkey vacation rental.

Residential District - 4 DU per Acre
The Residential District regulates the number of people living in a given area by specifying the maximum allowable number of dwelling units that may be developed on any given parcel of land. In order not to differentiate between economic groups or life-styles, a reasonable flexibility in the type of dwelling units and their placement on the land has been provided; to establish standards governing the development, construction and use of housing and dwelling facilities; to provide opportunity for all groups of persons to obtain adequate housing within each area of the County suitable for residential use in relation to other land uses and consistent with the preservation of natural, scenic, and historic resources; to establish the level of minimum services necessary to assure the adequacy of housing; to encourage a variety of housing types, sizes and densities necessary to meet the needs of all economic groups and to avoid environmental monotony detrimental to the quality of life; and to maintain the character and integrity of communities within residential districts and support residents in continuing to live and raise their families in these neighborhoods.
