Location couldn't be better. Less than two minutes drive to Poipu beach, where turtles are. Beautiful patio that opens up to tropical garden. Very clean apartment with perfectly working A/C in living room and bedroom. The matress is comfortable, semi-soft.Communication with host Shirley was easy and informative. I would gladly recommend Shirley's condo as a place to stay in Kauai.

We loved being so close to the water and having a view from the lanai! Host was very responsive when we had challenges with an after hours check-in!

We have stayed at many units in the Kiahuna plantation, and it’s our favorite place to be in Kauai. The grounds are beautiful, walking distance to our favorite beaches, and the Poipu beach athletic club is great for the kids. This condo was nice and clean, not super updated but this doesn’t really matter to us. It is far in the back of the complex, so a longer walk to the beach than the others we have stayed at. Overall, we still had a lovely stay!

This was the best vacation ever, made even more special by our stay at this beautiful condo right on the beach of poipu.

We had a great time at this property. It is located close to the beach, food and shopping. We spent most of our time enjoying the outdoors, so we mainly just slept here. The host was very responsive.

The VRBO had everything we needed for cooking at home. The location was great for easy access to the beach as well as shops and restaurants. The beach chairs and additional supplies were also very handy and made the experience more enjoyable. We would certainly stay here again.

This is great location, just a 5 minute walk from a gorgeous beach. The kitchen was nice and well equipped. There is no laundry in the unit which is as described but take note. The property is beautifully landscaped and the rental comes with access to an athletic club which is mall but nice

Loved Kauai,Our unit was well appointed and clean; great location. One drawback on the property was ample access to towels without a charge, we were also not allowed beach towel changes daily

We always start our visits to Kauai on the North Shore, then head south to Poipu where it’s always warmer and sunnier. You can’t beat the Plantation … a walk away from one of the best beaches on the island and this condo offers comfort, all the amenities you might need, a terrific outdoor gym nearby, and proximity to everything the Southside has to offer. 5 Stars all the way!

We were stuck for 5 days due to a cancelled flight. This condo was 5 star in cleanliness, beautiful garden and partial ocean view. Property is very well maintained with private beach (some of the best snorkeling we’ve seen), beach hut, snorkel gear, body board, sand toys, beach towels and onsite bbq /washer dryer access. Smart TV, cable,, kitchen and modern Needs for family. Felt very luxurious yet cozy. Sabrina is the best host and very attentive. Would definitely stay again next time we come back to Kauai to visit family in nearby city of Lihue..

My husband and I needed a last-minute place to stay for two extra nights in Kauai after our hotel couldn’t extend our reservation. In a bit of a panic, we came across this listing, and the owner was an absolute lifesaver! She was so accommodating and made the process quick and effortless, which we deeply appreciated. The home itself was very clean, super comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The location was very ideal as you feel like you are staying in the treetops, super peaceful, and a ‘hop, skip and jump’ down to the beautiful beach, local restaurants, and shops. While there’s no air conditioning (which for some reason I had assumed), the nights were perfect and pleasant with the open windows and fans. Plus, we didn’t spend much time indoors during the day anyway, as there’s so much to explore on the island. There are washer’s and dryer’s located by the check in area that came in handy as well. We’re so grateful for this wonderful find at the last minute as we were grateful for a couple more memorable days! Almost wished we would have stayed there the entire time vs. at the hotel.

We have stayed on the Kilohana properties multiple times, and this is a very nice unit all around. The owner checked in with us a couple of times to offer assistance, which wasn’t really needed, there were no issues at all. If/when we go back we will probably bring along some of our cooking basics (olive oil, salt and pepper, sugar, spices and such) but that’s easy to do once you know it’s left not in the cupboards. So nice to have beach chairs and an umbrella, a boogie board, and a small cooler! Writing this i want to be there right now!

A wonderful light condo in a great location. It sits above a peaceful Hawaiian garden that we'd stroll through on the 5 min walk to the beach. It's also a short walk across the road to a shopping village with restaurants, shops, a convenience store and a zipline place. We hardly saw anyone around our building the whole week, which was a very different vibe from the busy activity closer to the beach. The large palm in front of the balcony blocks the view somewhat, but after long days in the sun we came to love the shade in the afternoons.The kitchen was well equipped. It wasn't fancy, it just had everything we needed, including a rice cooker, blender, and new nonstick pans. My only wish was for sharper knives.The large bed was comfy, but the fold-out couch had a thin mattress where you could feel the springs. It was fine for our kids; I'm not sure my 55-year-old back would have liked a week on it.It had a boogie board, lots of snorkeling stuff, umbrellas (both beach and for rain), beach mats, water shoes, beach towels (pick up at the beach shack), etc.The athletic club was nice, and uncrowded. We used the pool and tennis courts twice. Wish it had laundry in the unit, but the shared laundry was in great condition and empty.The mgmt was friendly and responsive. Would definitely stay here again!

We loved everything about this place—beautifully decorated, comfortable, quiet, short walk to a little private beach. The Kiahuna Plantation has all the great amenities you find in resorts with all the privacy you need. Plus it is perfectly located. Easy drive to the Waimea Canyon or the Wailua River. And there is so much to do around there! We stayed 10 days but could easily have extended our stay. I would highly recommend and can't wait to go back. And last but not least, Rick is a wonderful host! He sent some recommendations for some activities and was always available for any questions. Thank You for making my birthday trip memorable :)

Amazing location steps from Poipu Beach. Was great to have a full kitchen to make some food at the unit and also tons of great eat out options within walking distance. Poipu Athletic Club across the street for pool option as well, complimentary passes to club included as part of check in! Owner was very communicative throughout the entire process from booking to check in to check out. Would absolutely stay here again.

The condo was perfect! It is very well stocked (great cookware and knives!) and in a great location, about halfway between the road and the beach. Kasey and Mike were lovey and very communicative and check in/out was a breeze even though we arrived after the Castle office had closed. Loved that the condo was on the top floor and an end unit - the breezes were great and cooled things down at night. Can’t wait to come back!

Kiahuna is a great place to stay with an awesome beach, wide open spaces and amenities nearby. We loved playing pickle ball, using the beach, playing frisbee on the lawn and walking to dinner and shopping. The unit was clean and well stocked. Perfect for our Kauai adventure.

We've travelled extensively on Oahu, Maui, Hawaii, and Molokai and would say Kauai and Merris' beautiful condo in Poipu is hands-down the best slice of paradise we've experienced--neither overdeveloped like Oahu and Maui nor remote like Molokai, Kauai has the perfect blend of 5-star accommodations like the Kiahuna Plantation plus laid -back Aloha spirit. Merris' condo is beautifully nestled in a tropical garden, surrounded by fragrant flowers and rustling palm leaves and just a quick walk from one of the most beautiful beaches in Hawaii. We'll definitely be back!

We had the most wonderful winter holiday in this renovated ground floor condo. The condo had all the amenities we would ever want with updated appliances and stocked with everything you would need in the kitchen and beyond. We enjoyed exploring Poipu and the ability to walk to many restaurants and shops!

If I could give the location ten stars I would as it’s super quiet, easy access to the beach and overall a very comfortable rental. My biggest gripe was with the Kiahuna closing the main beach access, but that’s a small price to pay for 79 degree water, gentle waves and easily accessible snorkeling. Vacations are never long enough!

We have stayed at this unit twice and it suited our needs. It’s nothing fancy, but very comfortable. The owner was a pleasure to deal with and communicated with us immediately. There is no air conditioning, but the ceiling fans were all we needed with the breezes. We do not visit Kauai during the summer, so the three floor fans might be needed then.

The cleaning fee was only briefly mentioned at booking and was way too expensive. We missed a day of our trip because of flight issue and the host was not flexible to help us regarding our missed day and the unexpected outrageous cleaning fee

We had an amazing stay at this beautifully remodeled condo! The property is lush, serene, and truly captures the essence of Kauai's natural beauty. The condo itself was spotless, tastefully updated, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen had modern appliances, and well equipped for entertaining. The condo was a serene walk to the beach and a short drive (or even walk!) from shops, restaurants, and local attractions. We loved the Poipu Beach Athletic Club affiliation where we enjoyed morning workouts, a daily game of pickleball and a swim. The host was responsive, and friendly. We truly felt at home here and can’t wait to return. Highly recommend this gem for anyone looking to experience the magic of Kauai!

While we have visited Maui several times, this was our first trip to Kauai. What a great island. We had a relaxing stay, enjoying the changing of the seasons. The location of the condominium is perfect. A short walk to the on-site beach. A short walk to Poipu Beach. If you go, make sure you get a veggie Puka dog!

Beautiful place. Sliding back door doesn’t lock. Think it was in the listing? Had daughter sleeping on pull out in main room. Perfect for a few nights but with 3 two bedrooms would have been best for mornings and nights.

This was one of two units that I rented for our extended family. My son, his wife and toddler stayed in this unit. They loved its location and the convenience of having a kitchen. The A/C was appreciated! Although this unit had a pack and play, they ended up contacting a baby equipment rental company for a crib, booster seat and toys. This unit is very convenient to the lawn, beach and club. They found an easy path (about a 1/2 mile walk) to Poipu beach where there is a perfect, sheltered cove for children to splash in plus see the sea turtles who come up on the beach to sleep! The surf at Kiahuna Beach in front of the lawn can be quite rough and not suitable for little kids.The club with its kiddie pool was easy to walk to. It is an amazing facility - pools, tennis, pickleball, basketball, equipment room that is a great amenity!The unit was clean and well-maintained. The refrigerator had a minor glitch mid-week, but the office was very responsive to the repair need.My family would definitely rebook this unit again!

This is one of two units that I had rented for the week for our extended family. My husband, adult daughter and I stayed in this unit. We found it clean and well-maintained, with pleasing modern decor. The location was perfect - views of the sunsets from the balconey, plus easy access to the lawn, beach and athletic club. The club is amazing with all that it offered for all ages! Tennis, pickleball, toddler pool, equipment room, towels, rackets, paddles - such a great amenity! Parking was never an issue in front of our unit. The bed and the pull out couch were very comfortable.The washer/dryer was super convenient for our extended family with a toddler. We appreciated that we could wash our towels mid-week.We did not lack anything in the kitchen and appreciated the supply closet of beach umbrella, chairs, even snorkeling gear.The only minor minor issue was that there were a few items, including a pill and a cracker found under the coffee table and couch that were overlooked in the previous clean up.There was no A/C as described, but that was no issue in the winter, plus there was an overhead fan in each room.The dishwasher was not working for our stay, but since we did not cook any main meals, we easily hand washed anything that we used.We had a wonderful stay and would rebook this unit again!

The location on the property was so far from the beach, and grassy area. It was a trek to get anywhere. No airconditioning, so be prepared for the place to get warm in the afternoons.
