My family of 4 had a wonderful stay in this condo and are counting the days until we can go back. My 8 year old had the best time running around making new friends with kids in neighboring condos and the rest of us loved sitting out on the lanai drinking coffee and enjoying the amazing view. Communication with the owners was great and check in was very easy. An added bonus was the beach gear that was provided.

We loved our stay. The property and grounds are even more beautiful than the pictures. It was a great spot close to the activities we wanted to do. I particularly loved having access to a kitchen to help prepare for early mornings leaving for boating or hiking. It was also very easy to get into a few towns nearby for dinner. We enjoyed the open air gym access and the pool nearby, but being so close to the beach was the best. Communication with Mark was great and super helpful. I would love to stay here again in the future.

I can’t say enough about how wonderful our stay was. The resort is beautiful and the condo was absolutely perfect. Great selection of beach gear. Kitchen had everything we needed. Super quick walk to the beach. Kim was extremely responsive. Highly recommend!

Absolutely loved this place! It was right by the parking lot, had an amazing view of the ocean, and was a short 4 minute walk to the beach. It had everything we needed. There was also a great little coffee truck right across the street. It was a great stay and I would definitely go back!

Great spot on beautiful grounds, just a short walk to the swimmable sandy beach. Nicely updated and had everything we needed. Clean and comfortable. Towel exchange at the beach is super handy. Athletic club across the street is an added bonus along with the front desk to answer any other questions. This was our second time staying at this resort and this unit was updated and mich nicer than the first one we stayed in. The ac is another bonus. Nice grassy area right off the lanai. Great location and short drives to most places you’d want to visit. Only complaint is that the people staying above us were heavy footed stompers who you could hear above noise machines and earplugs. No control over that obviously, otherwise the unit is perfect and would definitely stay again.

We loved our stay at this property! The location of the unit was ideal because it was away from parking lots, streets, and the main lawn area by the beach. It was very quiet (apart from the birds) and peaceful. We didn’t rent a car and we had no problem walking to restaurants and shopping. The beach access was fabulous and it was easy to get anything we needed for swimming and snorkeling. The condo itself was spacious and well- furnished. We had a very relaxing stay!

Have stayed at Kiahuna plantation many times over the last handful of years. Enjoyed the larger 2 story condo experience and appreciated the Individual ac units in the bedrooms at night. Very comfortable stay.

This was our third visit to Kiahuna Plantation and Bill’s condo was fantastic! Very well stocked with cookware and beach gear (chairs, umbrella, coolers, fins). There were tons of books, like a mini library! The bed and pillows were super comfortable (which is hard to find in a rental). The AC is always a plus on those warm days. He was excellent with communication about the area and the condo.

The check in and check out process were very easy. The location and the small amount of steps was easy with luggage. Parking gets a little tight, but that is to be expected. The plantation area was quiet, which was appreciated. The walk to the beach was very simple. Hosts were very attentive with favorites. I would have liked a couple of baking pans in the kitchen and the coffee maker could use a little TLC. There was only one boogie board and one beach chair, that ended up having a loose screw on it. The cooler and wagon were appreciated for a road trip day of exploring.

This was the most perfect place to stay in Kauai! The location is the best-right on the beach and a short walk away fro the de turtles on Poipu Beach! I would 10000% recommend this hidden gem.

Property has an incredible view but is dated and could use a few updates. I loved that the owner provided a mid-week clean which is not something many VRBO properties do so that was a plus. The fan in the living room squeaked so MX came out and it was better for a day then started squeaking again. The mirrors are corroded from the ocean air and could use replacing as it is apparent they have been that way for quite a while. The dishwasher leaked but MX came out immediately and that issue was resolved. The louvers on the windows don't work well. one of the closet doors didn't easily open and the beach chars weren't very nice. Ended up using the ones in my kids unit instead. Also I was looking forward to the sunset view from the patio but realized that only occurs during the winter. Just wish the picture had said "winter sunset view" as I was a tad disappointed. Overall it is a nice unit with a great location and view so a few updates would be a nice additon

This unit is great! The view can't be beat. You're so close to the (swimmable) beach that you don't even need to take a towel. You can hear the waves. There's a staffed check in so there's no check-in headaches. The unit had a truly comfortable mattress and the kitchen was really well equipped - with spices, oil, good knives, etc. It was a pleasure to stay :)

We have stayed at the Kiahuna Plantation in other units before. This was the best with a great location and a beautiful view. It was very comfortable and we had everything we needed. The owner was very helpful communicating before our stay which was nice. We’d definitely recommend staying here!

Beautiful property, lovely grounds and nice beach access. Nice gym and pool across the road with a great restaurant, tennis and pickle ball. The condo was perfect for my husband and I but can sleep two more on the pullout couch. Kitchen was stocked with dishes, pots, pans, utinsils, coffee maker (not a Kuerig) and more. This condo also has two beach chairs and a small boogie board for your use. I picked this condo due to the fact that it is air conditioned and had a washer/dryer combo u it which we used almost daily. The owner is great with communication. He answers quickly and provides great information about the area. We loved Poipu. There are lots of great restaurants and shopping there along with Poipu beach with a lifeguard and protected swimming area. The turtles come up every night and that is a must see! We would stay here again and will if we ever return to Kauai.

Close to beach. Great view off the deck of the ocean. The gardens were very beautiful. The only surprise was the lack of condiments (salt, pepper, ketchup, etc.) Very clean!

Loved the unit and the property! Have stayed at the resort many times and loved this unit. Close to the water, opens up on the grass and a short walk to the beach and the BBQ’s. Great orientation for a shady lanai in the afternoons and morning sun. Unit has been remodeled and was nicely done and had all the neccessities. Kids loved playing on the grass and beach and great surf break for the kids to learn on, with easily accessible lessons right from the Kauai Surf School at the beach hut on property.

Amanda keeps the place super clean. We loved all the beautiful decor and the grounds are so beautiful. Easy walk to the beach to see turtles. Many restaurants in walking distance as well as BBQ’s to use. We had a fantastic 4 days here and would definitely recommend and return. The AC in the place was awesome as well. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your beautiful piece of paradise. Mahalo.

Kiahuna Plantation is like coming home for us. Their location close to the ocean is key. Large rolling green lawns with outdoor barbecues for you to use. The condo has most everything you need to enjoy your stay. It would have been nice to have kitchen supplies like foil, seran wrap, etc. especially if you plan to do any cooking. Comfortable furniture, a restful bed, and nice linens. The washer/dryer was an excellent feature. Parking is easy and the reception was efficient. Thank you for another wonderful stay at the Kiahuna.

The unit was clean, conveniently located to our favorite beaches and restaurants, and we loved sitting on the patio overlooking the garden. We will come back again when we visit Poipu.

Annual Hawaii Vacation. We love staying at Kiahuna Plantation. Stairs were a disadvantage, neighbors rather noise. Unit wasn't exceptionally clean. Toilet was really low and encroached over the door frame.
Joyce H.
June 2025

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.

June 2025

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!
Brenda M.
May 2025

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.
