Great place and owner answered all questions quickly

Overall our stay was amazing. The condo is just within walking distance of everything we needed! We took advantage of the Poipu athletic club almost everyday, and had the space we needed for our 7 month old daughter. The Poipu shopping center was just across the street where we got delish gelato and Thai food. The bed and bedding could use updating, and make sure to pack bug spray. I got many mosquito bites (they like my blood) sitting out on the lanai, but my husband was just fine. All small things relative to our relaxing and enjoyable stay! The management company was fantastic with communication, and we didn’t need to rely on them for any issues. Keep up the great customer service :)

Location can't be beat. Beautiful lawn and ocean views. Bed very comfortable. Love the shower. Only negative is the kitchen - very small. Very little counter space for food or prep.

The location of this condo is perfect. Inside the resort area is well kept landscapes that are gorgeous, the beach is a short 5min walk to the beach, and the location is amazing (grocery store, restaurants, etc are all super close). Inside the condo, they have everything you could possibly need. Beach chairs, umbrella, coolers, a full kitchen. The bed is very comfortable and the condo has a very welcoming/home feel. We absolutely would come back!

We just returned home from another wonderful trip to Kauai, this unit was so nice, super clean and had a beautiful view. We especially enjoyed using the poipu beach club pool and having fresh towels was so nice! We would definitely stay here again!

The condo was clean and comfortable. The owner, Bill, had excellent and thorough communication. The AC was so appreciated, as we had never had it in our many other stays at Kiahuna. The towel exchange and trash collection every other day was also appreciated.

This is my second stay at Kiahuna and I'm sure I will be back. The location is perfect and the grounds are beautiful. This unit was nice although the bathrooms could use some updating. The air-conditioning was fabulous!

Soooo nice to have air conditioning! Our place in Hanalei didn't and there is a very noticeable difference for sleeping and just general comfort.

This unit has such a beautiful location in Kiahuna. Beautiful views from the downstair and upstair lanais. Absolutely loved sitting outside and enjoying the views. However, it’s so outdated that it bothered us. We knew it wasn’t a super updated unit from looking at the pictures and we were fine with that. We understand keeping with the old Hawaiian ambiance. The unit needs painting, some patching has been done and not properly painted. Kitchen appliances need to be replaced, they are so old and showing signs of rust. The dishwasher is barely usable. The paper towel holder is completely rusted out. The shower and tub are so old it’s creepy. Not sure if they’re original to the condo, but they need to be replaced. They were clean. The towel holders need to be replaced as they are starting to bubble and chip. Carpet needs to be replaced, it’s clean, but so old. Didn’t feel comfortable walking in it. Once again, loved the location. But thins can be updated without changing the ambiance.

Perfect for our stay in paradise. No complaints whatsoever. The lanai was our favorite and we spent a lot of time out there enjoying the view of the waves. We had one question and the owner got back to us ASAP. Thank you!

Our stay was relaxing. Our room had a curling iron, hair dryer, curling brush and magnifying mirror. All the things a woman wants. The kitchen was well equipped. Enjoyed watching the surfers and listening to the waves all day and night.

Beautifully updated condo with a spectacular ocean view. We felt so at home here. Bed is very comfy and the ac and fans keep things cool. Kitchen is well equipped for coffee and cooking.

If your read all the reviews about how nice this unit is it is because it is ALL TRUE. Deena goes above and beyond giving you all the same amenities you have in your own home and beyond. We really cannot say enough how beautiful this place was. We really lucked out. The beach was close, coffee and restaurants within walking distance and great parking. We will for sure be staying here again.

May 2024

Great condo and property. Great response time with the property owner. The 3 stars for the check in process was due to some miss communication on the large “check out” cleaning fee that is due at arrival. But the owner was responsive and handled it well. Would recommend this location and we would stay there again!

We loved the south shore location in Poipu with all of the sunny days. Great condo and easy walk to the beach with great amenities of snorkel equipment, chairs, beach stuff, etc. The pool across the street and the gym were also outstanding!

This is our second stay at this property and we hope to return. It is well equipped, convenient to the beach, and a good point of departure for exploration on the island.

I was on the island for business but had ample time to enjoy the beautifully manicured grounds of Kiahuna Plantation. It is really a must stay location as all that Poipu Beach has to offer is within steps. I played a most relaxing 18 holes of golf with a local retiree at the Kiahuna Planation golf course. That's a gem too. Along with many excellent food options near by KP is a tremendous place to relax and enjoy the fabulous Hawaiian weather. I have already made plans to go back.

We had a great time at Kiahuna - we love this unit. The location is great - feels like home as soon as we get there! We would recommend it and we will reserve agin for next year. Could not have been happier!

Very comfortable, nice location, close enough to beach and BBQ. Could get a little noisy with neighbors conversing outside. But we had all windows open, so understandable. Recommend one more Tommy Bahama beach chair. Very happy with our stay.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The grounds are stunning, and eating out on the lanai was one of our favorite things to do. The proximity to Poipu Beach and to great hiking in Waimea Canyon was great. Our family had a great time here!

We have enjoyed four family vacations over the years at Kiahuna Plantations (Outrigger). This is our first stay at this lovely unit - beautiful views, convenient location, renovated. We took full advantage of the properties amenities and location, enjoying time at the beach as well as the pool, morning or sunset walks, kid runs on the grass and garden walks, dinner and shopping across the street, and Farmers' Market, more shopping and dining at the other nearby center. We'll be back and will recommend Kiahuna Plantation and specifically this condo to family and friends.

We loved this Kiahuna unit. The kitchen is well stocked, living space and bedroom fine. The best part of unit is its proximity to the ocean. We loved hearing the constant roar of the waves, the wide expanse of sky and sitting on the lanai. We hated to leave. Thank you for sharing this special place. It is magical.

Absolutely perfect! Best view on the island. So many close restaurants, the location is perfect. The activity center is a bit of a walk but totally worth it, perfect pool for all ages. The condo was well stocked and everything worked great. Other family members staying in the complex were very jealous of our working washer and dryer and bedroom A/C units. Highly recommend!

My husband and I spend a beautiful week at this property celebrating my recent retirement and our anniversary. We enjoyed our coffee and the sunrise on the patio, brisk walks snaking along the property down the coast line via either paved walkways or the road, sun bathing and gazing at the marvelous ocean and surfers, and happy hour either on our own patio or at the properties with bars on either side of the unit. My husband even ventured out for surfing lessons from the onsite offerings. We also enjoyed the weight room facilities at the Athletic Club that were across the street. They had a pool there too but we didn’t use it since it is not on the beach - we would rather have the ocean breeze and views! The unit was stocked with everything we could imagine (so thoughtful!) and it made having breakfast and lunch onsite very easy. We dined out at the numerous restaurants in the area (make reservations!) and enjoyed shopping in three nearby centers. When I left something behind in the safe the owner was happy to work with the onsite manager to retrieve it for me (thank you!!). We really loved our stay!

A fantastic location for anyone! The unit was clean and well maintained. Stocked kitchen for the nights that we wanted to cook and spacious enough where we didnt feel cramped. The beach is a short walk away and had beach equipment to use. Megan was excellent to work with and provided great recommendations for activities to do locally and around the island. She was also very accomodating when we needed to adjust our plans. Would absolutely stay again! Thanks for sharing your place Megan!

The condo is great had everything you needed. Housekeeping didn't do a good job on cleaning. The carpet wasn't vacuumed and there was a lot of dust on the hardwood floors.

Easy walk to beach. Interior is a bit old but clean and comfortable. Had all amenities. Property management responded to all of our questions immediately. Had a great time.

We've stayed at the Kiahuna Plantation many times. This end-unit is very nice and sits beneath a majestic monkey pod tree. My only two concerns has to do with the property management and in particular the house keeping staff. We accidentally left two umbrellas behind upon our departure and realized it a few days later. We returned to the property and ask the assistance of both the property management as well as the tenants who were occupying the unit. The current guests were most accomodative and helpful, and checked all of the drawers to see if they were there. The property management has had ample time to communicate with the housekeeper assigned to the room upon our departure in order to retrieve the items. Unfortunately, they have not been returned, which would have been nice because we have experienced some daily rain showers where they would have been useful. The cleaning fee is pretty hefty, it's unfortunate that the staff cannot be trusted. Additionally, there is a temporary electrical cord which has been suspended from the tree and draped across the upstairs railing with caution tape. It's an eyesore, and it's been there since the last time we stayed in this building in 2019.

Bathroom sink cold water handle is broken. Stove burner plate was disconnected and not level. Microwave digital was unreadable. Weird smell throughout rental. For the money it was totally unacceptable

We so enjoyed our stay. Easy to get to the property and very close so close to the ocean. The spacious grounds, the incredible sunsets and the smell of the rains makes this location ideal. Mahalo!
