This condo is the ideal place to stay with kids while on Kauai. The flat is spacious and well equipped, the gardens are beautiful, the ocean is a short walk away, the Poipu Athletic Club with its toddler-friendly pool (that you can use free of charge) is close by, clean and extremely convenient. Since the island isn't too large, you can access all parts of it with reasonable drives.After looking at all available options for accommodation on Kauai, we feel that this condo was the best deal available and would definitely stay here again.A bit of heads up: the bed is on the very soft side, and you can hear the traffic in the bedroom, but neither is too bothersome.

Everything you could ever want in a vacation condo! We loved walking to the beach each morning through lush gardens. The fitness club and pool amenities were top notch! We had a fully stocked kitchenware/utensils for cooking. The a/c unit was awesome! The owner & management company were helpful and ideal. This unit was just remodeled and they spared no expense! It was an amazing stay. We felt safe and secure. Amazing service and facility and location at the resort as well as on the island. The unit had cable tv and the owner let us use their boogie boards! We will stay here again!

Wonderful, relaxing two weeks in this beautiful vacation home in Kiahuna. We loved every day just sitting on the lanai listening to the ocean, watching the surfers and sun seekers, and the palms swaying on the huge lawn area. Everything we needed was here. Best spot in Kiahuna Plantation. We enjoyed it so much that we're planning to book it again for next year.

The pictures perfectly encapsulate what this condo looks like. It's beautifully decorated, with a gorgeous garden view, and ample parking. There are A/C units in the bedroom and living area that keep things very comfortable. We did open up windows in the main area overnight when the temps cooled. We took advantage of the beach chairs and umbrella, which are a must. It's a quick drive to Poipu Beach or you can walk to three other beach access points, either right on or beside the property. It should be noted that lots of families stay at this resort, so be prepared for some noise.

Such a lovely property, we have stayed at the units in kiahuna and this one was great. Close to the beach and the nice great lawn, can’t wait to come again

This is a great location and the Plantation is a beautiful, well maintained property. We loved the swimming beach right out front, and the pool across the street, with an easy drive to anywhere else we wanted to go. Reservation process with the owner was easy, as was check in/out. The housekeeping service could have been better, and the unit itself could use some updates, but overall it was a great stay.

We stayed here 15 years ago under another owner and the unit did not disappoint! It was as advertised, and there were beach items available to be used. The kitchen was stocked with additional dishes to make it easier for our group of three families to congregate from other units that were not as well equipped. Thanks for making this a great family trip!

The unit is wonderful and has a great view of the smaller grass areas and bridges. The owners have stocked the place for families and made all the amenities available to them. The unit is open and nicely remodeled compared with other units we’ve stayed in.

Communication with the owner was great, check in and out was good with Castle resort.The newly remodeled title on the listing was a little surprising, compared to the other units we’ve been in over the last 15 years. Overall the unit was a nice experience.

We had a great stay once again at Kiahuna Plantation. The owner was very easy to work with and always available if we had a question. The condo was very comfortable and clean!

The location was spectacular. If you don't expect much of the furnishings, you will be happy. Linens are low quality, toiletries were inadequate for a week's stay. No salt or cooking oil with the excuse that they are ruined by the humidity. I live in Hawaii, that is nonsense. The beach gear is a sandy, salt covered pile of random equipment. But the property is beautiful and it's close to swimming. shopping and hiking. Just have modest expectations for the actual unit. It could use some TLC.

My husband and I had a great stay here on our honeymoon! The place was clean and comfortable and Brendan was super friendly and easy to communicate with. The pool/hot tub was just a quick walk (but you can also drive if you’d like) and the restaurant there was great both times we stopped by! Getting to the beach was easy as well and we were able to walk down it a little bit to see the turtles come up at night (highly recommend!!). The cleaners get rid of any condiments/spices/etc. so you do have to bring/buy your own, but other than that they had all the necessary kitchen utensils and such. The pool/hot tub does close at 7pm, which is enforced, but it wasn’t too big a deal since staying on Kauai means a lot of fairly early mornings. We would definitely stay here again!

My wife and I could not say enough good things about our stay. The location was a quick walk to the beach, food, and other amenities. There was even a shopping center a short drive away from our location. Our room was exactly what we needed, clean, quiet, and had plenty of stocked cooking utensils and beach related items. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony, which was peaceful and had views of the lush trees and plants the area has to offer. The host was extremely helpful, and we are so grateful for his recommendations and kindness. Highly recommend the stay here!

We loved our stay in this condo. Poipu was a wonderful location. We were able to walk to most everywhere we wanted to go. The location was very convenient. We had everything we needed in the condo. The host was very responsive. We will have great memories from this place.

Very nice condo at a good location and across the street fro the Kauai Beach Athletic Club which we used every day,
Steve D.
May 2025
Great place, great location. Really enjoyed the athletic club access the street. Easy to walk down to the beach. My only complaint would be they didn’t have hand soap, body wash, or any of the regular amenities that you would have at any other place you would stay, so come prepared for that. Also, extra kitchen goods were not there. We had to go buy salt and coffee because there is absolutely nothing in the cupboards. But the place was great overall!

We really enjoyed our stay in Poipu. There was more than enough space in the condo for my husband and I. Parking was easy and the location is great! You can walk down to the beach or across the road to bars and restaurants.

This was our 3rd time staying at Kiahuna Plantation, our first time in a 2 bedroom, 2 large bath, 2 story condo. Such an upgrade! This unit is beautifully decorated and so spacious. We enjoyed the upper balcony plus the walkout patio and having a washer and dryer was a nice perk. Host Kirk was awesome to work with. The grounds, great green lawn, and beach at Kiahuna are stunning. We will be back!

We had a wonderful time at this condo. It was conveniently located to beaches and activities. The grounds were lovely and we really appreciated the grassy area and beautiful beach, with the “beach shack” to get fresh towels and rent equipment. It was also just a short stroll to Poipu Beadh. The condo was equipped with beach gear, but the snorkel gear could have been better maintained. The condo had AC which we used at night to block the rooster noise, but most of the time we didn’t need it because the air flow in the condo was incredible! The kitchen was well equipped, although we would have appreciated some basic spices and the like. It also could have been a bit cleaner, some of the dishes were dirty, probably from a prior guest jamming too many into the dishwasher. Overall, an excellent location. The hosts were very communicative and welcoming.

Stayed here May 10-17 (just my wife and I). Location is walking distance to Poi'pu beach (rated top 5 in US) and across the street from Little Fish Coffee shop. This lodging location is part of Kiahuna Plantation Resort. The resort's beach is Kiahuna beach and during our stay had some moderate surf. The property is listed accurately and has Air Conditioning. However, during our stay we rarely used it due to the coastal winds keeping us cool day and night. The parking area is covered with large mimosa trees and will shade your car during the day. The grounds in front of Kiahuna beach is meticulously kept and sitting on a beach chair watching the surf is relaxing. Property is located in building 40 and is bordered by the Marriot property. Our stay was relaxing and very enjoyable. We plan to return for a future vacation and hopefully bring our adult children with us. Unit also had complimentary beach chairs, coolers, boogie boards. To get beach towels, you must visit the resort's beach house to check them out. Location of this resort is in South Kauai and we hardly had any rain. Only our last night had any significant rainfall.

The Kiahuna Plantation property has lovely grass areas connecting the entire property. The condo was perfect. We enjoyed time on the balcony throughout the day as we watched the rolling waves of Poipu beach. Sleep is so important so the fantastic mattress and pillows were a win! The kitchen has everything to accomodate any length of stay. We used the barbeques for our dinner a few nights so we could stay in and relax and watch the sunset from the property. Thank you!

This unit is in need of repairs and updating. The toilet did not work properly and all the appliances were old. There was a large cleaning which didn't make sense considering the place wasn't that clean. The unit has screens with shutters that can't be sealed off and the screens are old with lots of holes so it is impossible to keep out insects. You may as well be camping. The only saving grace is the complex and location. The property has beautiful grounds and a basically private beach.

We've stayed at Kiahuna Plantation several times in the past. This upgraded unit was, by far, the nicest we've experienced. Ground floor, relatively quiet and convenient access to everything Poipu has to offer. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Kiahuna Plantation is my favorite place to stay on Kauai, and this condo was the best out of the three I’ve rented. It’s very comfortable and nicely decorated. I also loved looking out at the monkeypod tree, and I appreciated its location within the complex (easy parking just in front and directly across the street from the Poipu Shopping Village with its many shops and eating options.). The property management’s maintenance people were very prompt and helpful with two minor issues. I would be happy to return (at least for as long as I can manage three flights of stairs!)

Perfect location near the perfect Poipu beach. Property was well furnished, clean, and the owner was very attentive to any questions. Traffic noise is a minor issue but the trade winds wafting through the condo and the birds singing will lull you to sleep. Didn’t need the A/C in May.

Dianne was a super responsive and thoughtful hostess. We enjoyed our stay at the condo with its location between the shopping center, pool, and the beach. Most everything was walkable. We loved having a full kitchen, and artistic pieces added to the decor. Most of all- the lanai overlooking a beautiful green space with lots of flowers- made for a perfect place for breakfast.

Have stayed at Kiahuna Plantation previously and love the beauty, amenities and service provided here!! This particular condo is in need of a refresh however (especially bathroom area and kitchen). It offers a beautiful garden view! Pictures must have been brightened/enhanced quite a bit as it is much darker than in those pics. While it is on the second floor, there is no penthouse feel about this place. Owner provided all important info for checking in and out along with a few ideas for things to do during our stay.

We enjoyed the location. Close walk over to the beach and across the street to the shopping center and athletic club. Our only slight dislike was the stairs especially with beach gear, luggage, etc. which is why I gave 4 stars for location. It was a very peaceful location so that offsets the stairs! We loved hearing the breeze and the rain through the night. We’d rent again.

The condo was an amazing stay. Spacious for my fiancé and I with convenient short walk to shops, beaches, on site laundry, restaurants. Beach supplies in unit and beach towels you pick up from the plantation beach hut. Coffee and plenty of kitchen supplies. Corner unit adds some privacy. Deena's hospitality is amazing. We arrived to a handwritten letter and a small treat since we were celebrating our engagement. She truly takes time to make sure you enjoy your stay and goes out of her way to provide recommendations and make sure you are well taken care of. Wish we stayed longer and hope to return soon!

Blue Ocean View did not disappoint...in fact it won us over. Darin's condo is well done, outfitted nicely, and is a really nice location. The corner position under the tree with a few of the ocean couldn't be more sublime. It made our short stay perfectly relaxing.We also enjoyed the location in Poipu with easy access to Koloa and points further west.This will be tops on our list for a return visit!
