We had a great time at this condo. Great location steps from the beach. Nice to be in the downstairs unit to have easy access via the lanai. The unit was clean and had everything we needed. Liked having the washer/dryer. Appreciated the extra bathroom and kitchen supplies.
Downside to being downstairs is that upstairs neighbors were heavy walkers and we can hear them opening/closing doors. Not the unit’s fault but something to keep in mind if you want quiet.
With that said, I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone wanting to visit Kauai.

Our family really enjoyed our stay here! This complex has everything you'd want and restaurants/shopping is within walking distance. The condo itself was on a quiet section of the property and it was so close to the beach. It was very clean and the space was functional for a family of 4 with 2 kids. Check-in process, even after hours, was easy and communication with owners was wonderful. We appreciated having a washer/dryer as a lot of other units did not. What an amazing place! We'd love to stay again!

This is a beautiful unit...location, furnishings and decorating, well equipped kitchen. We stayed there in 2023 and are already booked for 2025. Loved our time there.

Just a wonderful stay in a beautiful Kiahuna unit. Owners were fantastic in their ongoing feedback and clear communication. Further we forgot a battery charger in the unit and the owner kindly mailed it back to us!
Thank you for opening up your home and we hope to return very soon!

Enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. Loved the proximity to the beach only draw back was having to drive across the street to the pool. We did enjoy using the pool at the athletic club. It was great the proximity of the Kiahuna Plantation to restaurants and shopping. Would highly recommend this property.

Easy access to beach and beautiful landscaping on the resort. The condo is beautiful, clean, and very well stocked with everything you could need. The bed is comfortable too. Would stay here again!

It was nice. The “ticket “ for forgetting to put the card on the dash was slightly annoying and left gooey residue on the windy

The condo is perfectly located just steps from the beach and also near the Sheraton. We walked to the luau, which was wonderful! The grounds are beautiful, and the condo had everything we needed in terms of cooking equipment, washer/dryer, AC and even beach gear. Amazing!

This is a great condo with a great location close to the Marriott and close to the beach. We could easily walk to Poipu Beach and Keoki's Paradise restaurant across the road. Sitting out on the Lanai at night listening to the Luau at the Marriott. Would definitely come back!

We enjoyed our time in Poipu at this great condo. It is supplied with all that you need to enjoy the beach and surrounding amenities. It was awesome to see the turtles and seals up on the beach. We were very comfortable in the condo with a great kitchen and comfortable bedroom. We also visited the recreational center provided for a few dairy workouts and the hot tub.
Thanks for the opportunity to stay and we would definitely rent again.

Beautiful unit, well equipped, lovely view from lanai and very quiet.

We've stayed in many different units at Kiahuna Plantation over the years and this is one of the best. Super private Lanai but still close to the beach, lush gardens provide solid shade all day long. Well thought out renovations, efficient bathroom, and all the kitchen supplies one might need. We'll be back for sure.

Firstly, the owners are fabulous! They accommodated my needs in every way possible, going above and beyond. The resort is beautiful and well-maintained, and the condo is perfect. It is nicely decorated, and the sliding windows onto the lanai provide a beautiful view. The bed is very comfortable, and even though there is air conditioning, I didn't feel the need to use it. Being on my own, I felt safe on and off the grounds. I walked to the mall across the street and went to restaurants nearby. There is a private beach that is less than 5 minutes away, and you can easily walk to Poipu Beach and snorkel or see the turtles and seals basking in the sun.

Beautiful condo - well stocked kitchen.

Amazing beach!!

We loved our stay. The unit was just as advertised. We didn't use the pool as we found it inconvenient to cross the street. We preferred to spend our time on the beach, especially for the amazing sunsets. We appreciated the beach chairs and the umbrella is a must! We found the bed comfortable, and the bedroom temperature was cool enough by evening. The hosts were great and accommodating to our request to have a late checkout. Thank you for a lovely stay!

We have stayed in this unit many times over the years, but this is the first time with the current owners. Everything was in perfect order plus it now has a/c. We love the private lanai and easy access to parking. We look forward to returning in June.

We completely loved our stay! The condo was beautiful and was as you see on VRBO. The lanai was our special place with the foliage and shade. I loved waking up in the morning, running down to the ocean for a bit and coming back to our breakfast of papaya, oats and granola sitting on the lanai.
Several great places to eat. Found the BEST ice cream at Lapperts home made ice cream - macadamia ice cream with coconut and chocolate swirls - YUM.
We will be staying here again. Thank you

We loved our stay at Cathy and Jim's beautiful unit. Perfect location and amenities. My only complaint was that it seemed that the cleaning crew hadn't thoroughly washed dining room floor prior to arrival. But everything else was immaculate. We hope to return!

Kiahuna Plantation is a great property with a perfect beach for swimming and surfing.
We stayed in unit #168, which is well renovated, very tastefully furnished and has everything you need. What we also liked is that the patio is well protected against wind and shaded.

We had a lovely stay here ! The property is located right on a wonderful swimming beach (Kiahuna Beach) and the Beach Hut provides complimentary beach towels and chairs as well as affordable rentals for snorkel and surf gear. The unit itself was immaculately clean, very nicely updated, and stylishly decorated. The 1-bedroom floor plan was a little bit tight for our family of four but we didn't spend much time indoors anyway. Kiahuna Plantation is a great property, lots of families, and very quiet at night. A walking trail connects to the adjacent resorts (we enjoyed the poolside restaurant Lava's at the Sheraton) as well as Poipu Beach. We hope to return!

Beautifully decorated and tastefully updated, this condo is in a lovely setting. We enjoyed breakfast on the patio surrounded by blooming ginger and a variety of other tropical plants and trees. It’s just a short walk to the beach, where chairs and towels are provided for your use. You can stroll to markets, restaurants, and shops and a local fruit stand is close by.
Kathy and Jim were terrific hosts. They responded quickly and provided us with tips and other useful information. There was a host of books on places to visit, hikes to take, and the history of Kauai. We had everything we needed and then some and would definitely come again.

Great location. The condo is close to the beach in a well run resort. The bbq is close and exceptionally clean. The condo was exactly as shown in the pictures and very well supplied.
Cathy and Jim the owners were fabulous to work with. They were very responsive and helpful.
The only suggestion would be to replace the mattress to ensure guests got a good night sleep
We would definitely book again pending the mattress replacement.

This property was quite a find. It had all the comforts of home that we needed and the interior was beautifully decorated. The tropical landscaping of the property was lovely. The location near Poipu beach was great for snorkeling and turtle watching.

We loved staying at the Kiahuna plantation. The condo was super-comfortable and nicely laid out. It was very quiet (and I'm sensitive to noise), and in the morning you could make the bedroom dark so we could sleep late (another thing I really appreciate). We loved eating breakfast each morning at the beautiful back patio and sit in the sun and watch the roosters strut around. The location was perfect, just a very short walk to a gorgeous beach. It was extremely convenient for exploring the south side of the island, especially the Waimea canyon area and hikes near Lihue. Getting to the Northside was also not too hard. We spent a lot of time near Hanalei. We really appreciated the proximity of the unit to stores and restaurants. It could not have been more convenient, including parking. I highly recommend this place for a Kauai stay. We would definitely stay there again.
The only constructive criticism that I would make would be for the owners to try to get the clothes washing machine to be a little less mildewy. I appreciate that this is hard in a humid environment. We have this problem with our washing machine at home and we periodically just run an empty cycle with a cup of bleach. This does a great job of getting rid of the smell (and you have to leave it open...).

Exactly as listed, the unit is clean, nicely updated, great location from the beach and parking, quiet, and well-equipped. You can tell this unit is well taken care of. The lanai is mostly private and with beautiful lawn and ginger plants. You can actually see a bit of the ocean. The washer/dryer is super convenient and beds are comfortable. The sofa bed mattress was on the firm side, but thick and sturdy and my kids thought it was good. AC is a plus! Overall a wonderful place to stay. Owners are great communicators as well. Highly recommend!

Such a beautiful area. The condo is the perfect size for a couple and we enjoyed our stay very much. So nice to have the cooling in the unit. The only thing I would recommend is a mattress replacement.

I’ve been visiting Kiahuna Plantation since I was a child and this was the first time I’ve been back with my kids and husband. It lived up to my amazing memories and more! The unit is beautifully updated and very easy location near the beach hut. We had everything we needed in the kitchen for eating in and bbq. The hosts were helpful and responsive leading up to our trip. We didn’t need to get in touch with them while there as everything went smoothly. kiahuna plantation is still beautiful and pristinely maintained. We will definitely be back!

We had a fantastic time in Kauai, and it wouldn’t have been the same if we hadn’t stayed at this place. Cathy went above and beyond and was so helpful since the booking process, by providing clarification about availability of car rental in the island, and giving hints in how to go about it.
The property is wonderful and had everything we needed. I highly recommend this place for anyone planning to go to Kauai.

This unit is in a perfect spot. It’s close to the beach, but also feels quiet and semi-private in positioning. It is beautifully updated and has all the conveniences you could want ( walk in shower, air conditioning, washer and dryer.) We will definitely be back, and hope to stay in 168 again, whenever possible!
