Amazing property that had anything we could possibly need. Easy distance to/from the airport, short stroll to the beach, clean, comfortable, and functional for families. I would happily stay here again, if only to visit Little Fish Coffee across the street every morning for an açaí bowl.

Arrived to an immaculate, modern, and location perfect unit in our favorite property (Kiahuna) in our favorite location (Poipu), within walking distance of restaurants and beach activities. Unit is as described and pictured on VRBO site, and we fully recommend it to anyone interested in a restful escape to paradise.

Everything about this unit was wonderful and better than described. Clean, very comfortable king bed, nice ocean view short walk to beach and A/C. Second floor so no one above you and parking close by. Very quiet. Host was very communicative and he made everything easy.

We had a great time at the Kiahuna Plantation! The unit was clean and comfortable, the grounds we're beautifully landscaped and we were steps from the beach (there is a smaller beach right out front and it's about a 10 minute walk from Poipu beach as well). The resort is close to many amenities and South Kauai attractions. We would happily stay again.

Well equipped and well decorated condo overlooking a pond with an ocean view. Good location near restaurants and shopping. Spectacular orchid garden across from condo entrance. Bedrooms and bath downstairs while kitchen and living room are upstairs which was a little inconvenient at times. Beach chairs are provided.

A super convenient location and wonderful view. Both privacy and comfort. We highly recommend, Susan was pleasant to talk to over the vacation and the site was outstanding. Thank you so much. 😊

This is our second vacation at this property. It certainly wil not be our last. It has a perfect combination of view, proximity to beaches and adjoining Poipu Athletic Club, privacy, and value. Great communication with the owner and great service from Outrigger Resorts Management Company. The view of the ocean and gardens from the lanai are breathtaking and in my view, the best on the property.

Overall we loved the property, the view and the beach. Check in was a breeze, the bed was comfortable and location was wonderful. The place is on the older side and could use freshening up but it’s classic Kauai and a tropical island so we enjoyed the comfort and the view and did not mind that it was a little outdated. Overall we were very happy and it met our expectations. Worth booking!

We had a great week in Kauai at this condo! It was very clean, was stocked with everything we could have needed, and was in a great location for everything we wanted to do on the south side of Kauai. Being on the ground floor to easily access all of the outdoor areas was a bonus. We would definitely stay here again in the future!

November 2024

This was exactly what we expected. The furniture was so comfortable and I personally loved being able to walk right out the slider first thing in the morning to take in the sunrise. We have been wanting to stay on this property for years and finally did it. We only stayed for 3 days, but would recommend it for longer stays in the the future

We stayed 5 nights in the condo and thoroughly enjoyed the condo. The pictures don’t do this place justice. Beautiful views and great access to the beach. Great restaurants within walking distance and 2 miles away in Kōloa. The owner made sure we had everything needed.

Great location. Clean and comfortable. Snorkelling is great on the beach and of course the turtles coming up every evening is amazing. We have tweens and location was great for us. No AC, but you adjust quickly. Open up at night and close up in the mid-morning.

This is our 5th time staying at Kiahuna Plantation, although it’s been over 20 years since the last time we were here. Happy to say the place hasn’t changed a bit. You really can’t go wrong with any condo on the resort, but this unit is an exceptional location. Stunning views and literally would take less than a minute to walk out your lanai and into the ocean. Also a single story so no unit above. Yes, the unit could use a little TLC, but if you’re spending all your time inside a condo then you’re doing it wrong! Also, best bed I’ve ever slept in. Wish I had remembered to check the brand. Great communication with The Parrish Collection, wonderful staff, and a very relaxing time on this beautiful island. We won’t be waiting another 20 years to come back and 165 is at the top of our list!

We absolutely loved our stay in this condo. The condo is the cleanest and most well maintained vrbo I’ve stayed in. The property grounds are amazing. Great snorkeling from beach right on property. Short walk to beach and also to Poipu beach to watch turtles come in at night. The view from lanai is better than the pictures show. Spectacular!

We have stayed at the Kiahuna Plantation many times and this unit has been the best so far. The unit was updated and comfortable. The A/C units were a plus. Easy parking. Would stay there again.

Bill's condo is well maintained, and as an upstairs end unit, it was quiet. It has nice ocean views from the lanai. The AC worked well. It's an easy walk to a few beaches. Poipu beach was great for our daughter to play in the shallows and see the turtles on the beach. Bill was communicative and answered any questions we had. Overall, we had a wonderful time and look forward to coming back.

Unit was clean, airy, well laid out. Our building was only a very short walk to the beach. Beach is beautiful, surfboard rentals/lessons, nice open grass area with lounge chairs. Everyone was super friendly, and we could tell other guests were enjoying their stay. Quick walk to shops/reataurants at Poipu shopping village
Ryan E.
November 2024

This is a great place for our little family. The ground level unit is wonderful to walk out and walk over to the beach. The shops across the street are nice and Poipu beach is a quick 3 minute drive away. The pull out mattress could be replaced for something much more comfortable. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The host was so sweet and left a gift card for the coffee shop across street and a hand written note, which was very thoughtful and appreciated. Would stay here again!
Abby L.
November 2024

The unit is pretty dated, and doesnt have AC. So on the days when it's humid, if you're not use to a humid environment, it will be pretty uncomfortable to stay and sleep in. With that said, it was quite and had a gorgeous view. Parking was another thing that was an inconvenience. Not enough spaces for each unit, so each night it was a gamble if we could find a spot or not and if we would fit. We had a mid size suv and barely fit in the spots.

Communication was excellent, the place was gorgeous inside love the Lanai walking out onto the grass just a short path to the beach.

This property was exactly as described and Marga was very easy to work with. The unit is clean and well appointed. It is a 2 minute walk from the beach ( no lifeguard), or a 5 minute drive to Poipu Beach which does have lifeguards. We loved having a leisurely breakfast every morning on the patio.underthe giant monkeypod tree.

My husband & I stayed here for 3 nights. The place was absolutely perfect for us! The A/C worked great! The bed was comfortable, kitchen was stocked with what we needed, the shower was wonderful after a long, hot day of being at the beach, hiking, or sightseeing. They had a wide variety of beach items, including beach chairs &.a cooler. We would definitely stay there again!

Great location, close to everything, and the property was amazing. Great communication, highly recommend!

November 2024

No major complaints. Top floor so there's no one stomping above you. AC worked well. Ocean view, partially occluded by buildings in the distance. No body wash or shampoo in the shower which I thought was a bit odd, but it's easy enough to grab some from Longs. I'd stay here again.
Andy C.
November 2024

We loved our stay at Alex’s vacation home. It’s spacious with a nice lanai to enjoy coffee every morning and situated on corner so very private. A short walk to the grassy area by beach. The grounds are beautifully maintained. There were lots of fans inside the condo which we appreciated.
Melissa H.

Our family had an incredible stay here. The condo is clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated. Super easy check-in and check-out. The location is excellent with easy walking to the beach as well as to shopping and Little Fish Coffee! I highly recommend staying here and my family will absolutely book here again - thank you so much!

Having just got back from 11 nights in Kauai our condo choice could not have been better. The condo itself has been remodeled to include air conditioning which is hard to find. Everything about the condo was just what we were looking for. Excellent amenities and adequately stocked for your basic needs. Whaler's General Store was a short walk across the street if there was an immediate need. After spending our first day walking the grounds around Kiahuna Plantation and figuring the best way to access the beach it became very apparent that we were where we wanted to be. The closer you get to the beach you lose your seclusion and privacy. The other part of the location we liked so much was that it was centrally located with a short walk to Kiahuna beach, shopping and restaurants. At night sitting on the private lanai enjoying the warm air and the sound of the surf was relaxing. Evening meals were spent in cooking what we chose. The location of the BBQ just steps from the building was perfect. Met some amazing people hanging around the BBQ cooking up meals and visiting. Dinners were on the lanai enjoying the evening. Kiahuna beach was great, excellent waves and not to crowded with incredible sunsets.Piopu beach is public and crowded. Thank you for sharing your condo, communications, and being gracious hosts, I highly recommend this unit. You will not find a better deal at this price point. Looking forward to a return visit.
