Exactly as pictured! Had a great time and was perfect for what we needed. Kiahuna is a great place for family, and we had a wonderful time

We come to Kauai as a family 1-2x a year and have stayed at the Kiahuna a fair amount of times. Rick & Marilyn’s condo is by far one of the best we’ve stayed in! It was clean, well maintained and convenient. The A/C was amazing on hot nights! If you’re a Kauai regular, you know how spectacular the beach is and it’s well worth it to stay on the property to not deal with parking lol! We booked this trip super last minute since we weren’t sure our schedule would allow it and the owners were so gracious and amazing. They didn’t use it as an excuse to nickel and dime us (which has happened to us in the past) and it really speaks a lot about them. Not only as property owners but as human beings. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Rick & Marilyn!!

My husband and I loved our stay here! The unit is steps away from one of the best beaches in the world and the view is incredible! There’s an in-unit washer/dryer, dishwasher, and AC! Check-in was fantastic! This was the first time at Kiahuna we never needed to stop at check-in. Everything we needed including our parking pass was waiting for us in the room. It is the perfect unit to enjoy paradise!

We had the best time here! First of all, the pictures don't do the condo/apartment and grounds justice. It was very nice inside, had everything we needed, and the 4 of us were all comfortable. We appreciated the coffee that came with the room. The property grounds were just lovely, and had big, grassy areas for play, BBQ pits to enjoy, and we all worked out and played pickleball at the athletic center. The beach access was right there, with Hawaiin Monk Seals and turtles resting on the beach every day and night (very protected under the watchful eyes of knowledgable volunteers). The surf was rough when we were there (March), but that didn't stop us from enjoying the water. The beach chairs and boogie boards that came with the room were used every day. Beach towel service was another plus. The location was close to hiking (well, we hiked the Pihea trail, which was a drive to the west, but we were likely as close as we could be, and it was a beautiful drive and hike!), other beaches, great food trucks and shopping. John as a host was very easy to work with and communicate with. We'll be back! (Oh, and across the road...Little Fish Coffee Shop...5 stars also!)

The location is great, interaction with property management is good and easy. Helpful that it has a cooler and frozen packs for day trips. The condition of the unit is functional but can tell not much pride in the ownership of the unit...towel bar broken, paint needed over old bathroom fixture holes and other marks on walls, two large coffee appliances taking over one side of already small kitchen counter, decor of unit is mismatch of wall items, older decorative pillows in bedroom...not unified. Old worn kitchen towels and dishcloths. Floor tile grout could be cleaner.

We loved staying at Kiahuna Plantation, and the condo was perfect for our family. The location within the property is fantastic, with an easy stroll to the beach or the athletic club. As compared to some condos on the property, this one has been updated with comfortable furniture. Having a deck off the living room, and a quiet sitting area outside the bedroom was awesome. The kitchen could use a little updating but in general had everything we needed. Would love to go back!

We had a lovely time in Deena’s condo! A beautiful view, clean, and comfortable unit, (including AC for those very hot afternoons). The king sized bed was comfortable, we had lots of storage for our clothes and toiletries, and the kitchen was fully stocked for our meals during our stay. Even though we had some record breaking rain storms durning our stay, there were games, books, and a nice, large flat screen TV to help keep us occupied. I highly recommend, and hope to return again soon! Thanks Deena!

We enjoyed our visit. Great location in the middle of the planation so halfway between the beach and the road. Lovely lawns for the kids to run around. Rental had umbrellas and a cooler which was really nice. Would have been great if there had been boogie boards for guests to use. It's a shame everyone is buying them and then throwing them out if not renting them. Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you'll need. The welcome coffee and snacks were a treat. We loved the Hawaiian decor and it was very homey. We can't wait to return. * One comment for the owners..a new clear shower curtain is needed. It's moldy on the bottom. Easy fix to keep everything looking good. Thank you for sharing your home.

Great location. Unit was perfect. Had everything we needed. Just a tad noisy when upstairs neighbors were walking around but it’s nice to walk right from the patio to the lawn and beach.

This property was perfect for our family with two active boys. The short walk through the beautifully manicured property was a breeze to access the beach. Hours and hours were spent enjoying the sand and sun, surfing, and playing in the waves. Access to the Poipu Athletic Club was excellent for Pickleball, basketball and using the pool. So convenient. When we were spent from all the fresh air, the condo was clean and comfortable to relax. We loved the lanai for having coffee and playing cards. We would definitely rent again!

We absolutely loved our stay. The grounds were beautiful and we were steps from the beach. Shopping and restaurants were also a short walk away. The property was very clean and had everything we needed. Check in and check out were a breeze as well. We are looking forward to returning in the future!

We loved this unit. The lanai has terrific views, the vaulted ceiling exudes openess, floor space great for go fish games and the kitchen well outfitted. We loved the unit, Poipu and our vacation. One fabulous surprise was the close by faucets for feet cleaning- brilliant!!

We would highly recommend this vacation rental. It’s honestly in the best spot on the property. Close to the beach, as well as the athletic center, a cute little coffee house and a little market all of which were very close across the street. The unit was exactly as advertised and more. We had laundry in the unit and boogie boards, snorkeling gear etc etc that was left behind by other guests. We utilized the pull out coach as we had two children and it was perfect and easy to open and put away each day. We had everything we needed in the unit for a great stay. The property manager even had a cute welcome with a few Hawaiian ice teas and some treats to share. Nice touch. We loved our stay!!! Thank you.

Fantastic Stay! Great location, comfy bed. The condo had everything we needed. Having a closet stashed with beach goodies was a bonus. Fins, masks, beach chairs, an umbrella, couple of options for an ice chest and kids toys to name a few. A bunch of books was a super nice touch. Mahalo

We've stayed in this condo for the past 2 years and it's wonderful stay! Cannot beat the location and view. The only thing that I would change is the comfort of the bed(s) and consider putting in AC for those really hot days. Thank you for a great stay. We'll be back.

What a spectacular location for our first visit to Kauai! We loved that we could walk everywhere we needed to with great coffee, excellent dining options, and awesome boutiques right across the street. We also enjoyed our short walk to the beach, through tropical gardens under majestic trees. Also, can't say enough about how much we appreciated the wonderful place our host created. Comfortable, cozy, clean, and great vibes overall. Highly recommend!

The place was great! Our family enjoyed everything about this place. The location, the view, the unit itself is well equipped, and maintained. Nicely stocked, and comfy. Very close to the beach, and numerous convenient dining and shopping options nearby. Deena was fantastic with communication, and made the trip seamless for us. Would definitely recommend Deena, and her condo in the Kiahuna Plantation. Hope to come back soon!

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!

The location is walking distance to a great beginner surfing beach, snorkeling, and boogie boarding. Management was VERY responsive to all questions. You can hear others who are out on the balcony or lawn (which was to be expected.) The bathroom was run down (cracked veneer in door, cracking grout) and could use an update.

All amenities were covered! Kitchen was well stocked and the recreational closet had everything you could need. Definitely will stay again.

Could not have picked a better spot on the island or in poipu. The beach was perfect. Saw turtles and Hawaiian monk seals daily. This place has everything you need, which helps you avoid having to rent stuff for the beach (umbrella, boogie boards, etc). Kitchen also fully stocked with items needed to manage meals at home. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Also, tries our best to reduce our own carbon footprint on the island. THANK YOU for family memories we will have forever ❤️
Lara Z.

We had a lovely stay at this condo! It was well located and affordable. The access to the club was a great bonus as we could meet up with local family and the kids could play in the pool. We had a minor issue with the sliding door and contacted the property manager who sent someone out immediately to fix the issue. We were very happy with our stay and would stay here again next time we visit!
