We have been to Kiahuna many times over the years and Kirk’s unit is by far our favorite! 2 beds, 2 baths and a gorgeous upstairs open plan living area combined with air conditioning made it the perfect and most comfortable stay! We will definitely return!!!

Excellent spot for beach and different activities around Poipu close to everything. Having the Kauai surf school on the premise is a big plus!

We love Kiahuna and have stayed here numerous times, first time in this unit. We loved the condo, decor & location. The unit is mostly shaded during the afternoon which is nice. It’s a quick walk to the Great Lawn & beach and also the pool. We had a great stay here! I do hope the stovetop is replaced soon—it was a challenge to use because the directional markings have worn off.

We had a great stay at this unit. Having stayed in many other locations in this complex we enjoy the access to the beach and large rolling lawns. This unit does not have ocean views but does open right to the lawn and is a very short walk to sand. The unit was clean, well appointed, did not have boogie boards but did have a soft top surfboard. Had limited beach suplies, no chairs or blankets. Kitchen was fairly well stocked and owner was very responsive. There were a few slight repairs needed like a noisy fridge and broken curtins that will likley be fixed by next stay. Great trip overall.

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!

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!

Back to reality after making some amazing memories! We stayed at Kiahuna Plantation before and really enjoyed the location, proximity to beach, greenspace, quiet and relaxing environment, central location, and overall feel. As a family of 5, we decided we needed a larger space than our previous VRBO and went with this 2 BR 2 bath. It did not disappoint. We already booked the same unit for a longer stay next year. It was clean, comfortable, quiet, and had all the kitchen basics. There is a nice size dining table and sitting area. Though there is basic wear and tear expected in any VRBO, we felt it met/exceeded our expectations. Kirk was very friendly and responsive when I reached out with questions prior to our visit. The staff at the beach hut and those we encountered at check-in were all kind. We look forward to returning next year!

We enjoyed our stay. Best location on the island! Would definitely recommend. My only complaint is there wasn’t a smart tv in the primary bedroom. Love to watch tv before bed.
February 2024
We had the best time in Kauai, and loved our condo! This is the 4th time we've stayed at the Kiahuna Plantation, and this was by far the best condo yet. We loved the close location to the beach, and appreciated the upgraded bathrooms, A/C and in-condo washer/dryer. All of that made our stay that much more comfortable and easier. We can't wait to stay again. Thank you so much!

Wonderful Location. Great room is beautiful.
Unfortunately, fridge was not cleaned when we arrived and handle was broken. The bedrooms were quite musty and it took a couple of days to air them out.
Management was very responsive and apologetic so that helped :)
The dishwasher did not clean the dishes so we had to do them by hand.
I imagine these were one off issues but unfortunate.
We did have a great stay :)

The condo has such a nice breeze pouring through as it is open on three sides with so many windows and vaulted ceiling with great light. The views of lush gardens are very pleasant and you can even see a peak of ocean. Very close to the beach so you can easily head down and pop back to the condo as needed. Location is also in the heart of Poipu so close to everything like markets and restaurants.
Bedrooms are roomy and the two bathrooms are very nice. Main bedroom has great views of a large lawn and gardens.
While finishes are a bit older, everything is in working order and seems well kept.
What a splendid spot to spend time on Kauai. This is such a great property I'd stay here again in a heart beat.

Great property with beach only a short walk away. Beach was never too crowded so we always found a place to sit. Kirk provided us with a ton of helpful info before our check in regarding the unit and activities in the area.

Nice stay, great location and condo for our family of 3. Only issue was the property sprinkler system starting very early every morning around 5 am, it was loud inside the master bedroom.

Need to fix that loose toilet seat in the master bath though :-)

2 adults and 3 kids stayed a full week and had a wonderful time. Great pool (perfect for kids) and easy beach access. Plus close to all the fun in Poipu. We have been to this resort 3 times and always have a great time. You can’t beat it

Our family LOVES this place. This was our sending time here and we won’t stay anywhere else.

We thoroughly enjoyed this condo for our celebration of marriage. Our adult kids and families stayed in other 2 BR units at Kiahuna (not as nice as ours), and our condo was the home base for meals together. The upstairs living area is spacious and very inviting. The owner was responsive to any questions we had. We highly recommend this unit!

This rental was the perfect home base for our family vacation in Kauai. The condo was well stocked, spacious, and knowing we had a washer and dryer in the unit, we were able to pack light. The provided beach umbrella, boogie boards, and surfboard made our time on the beach so fun!... definitely recommend this property for families. Very quiet grounds and lanai. Kirk was very accommodating and responsive. We would definitely stay here again.

Our fifth trip to Kiahuna plantation, first time in a 2-bedroom unit. Location was easy walk to beach, close to new BBQ units, and beautifully landscaped. The bedrooms and bathrooms are downstairs with the kitchen & living upstairs. We knew this, but found it to be a lot of up and down for a 75+ year old man with a bad hip. Otherwise, maintenance quickly addressed a few small issues we had. Beds were comfy and as always, the roosters made sure we didn't sleep in!!!

A very comfortable and clean unit in Kiahuna Plantation. Walk to the beach on paved walkways. Nice grounds and more space and lovely gardens around the units - unlike the nearby hotels. Kitchen was well equipped with pots, pans, utensils. (but not much in the way of spices and cooking supplies .... which was to be expected) Includes use of the pool and gym across the street, a nice bonus! Quiet and peaceful at night. We enjoyed our stay.

We first visited Poipu's Kiahuna Plantation in 2009 and really enjoyed our stay. When planning a visit for summer 2022, we knew we wanted to stay at this condo complex again. This time, we came with our 2 adult children and 80 year old mom.
We stayed in a 2 story condo unit- 2 bedroom/2bath downstairs; kitchen and a spacious dining/living room upstairs. All rooms had fans and louvered screened windows for ventilation - no AC but we were comfortable with the steady breeze. The windows do let in a fair amount of noise (sprinklers, roosters, people) - light sleepers should be aware. The beds in the bedrooms were very comfortable. With 5 in our party, one had to sleep on sofa bed upstairs which was less comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with basic necessities, and we were able cook meals. Gas barbecues are available nearby. Our unit is close to parking but not subject to road noise. It was a 3-minute walk to the ocean. There are lots of plants and lawn around.
The location of the complex is central to the south coast of Kauai and convenient. ~25 minutes to Lihue (airport, Costco, Safeway). There is a small shopping center across the street with restaurants, clothing, jewelry, souvenirs + a general store (food, sundries). A few minutes west there is another larger center with more restaurants and shopping.
The Poipu Athletic Club is across the street and guests at the condo have access privileges. The club has a great family friendly pool, tennis courts, fitness center, grass volleyball + restaurant. Free towels for use at the club are included.
The Kiahuna Planation also provides free towels to checkout at the beachfront rental station (they also offered boogie boards and snorkels for rent).
We enjoyed the location and amenities at Kiahuna Plantation - it was a great home base for our week in Kauai.

this was a great place for my family to stay. easy access to the beach and large grounds for my kids to explore. Also walking distance to lots of good restaurants and shopping.
The only draw back was the noisy sprinklers woke us up every night. I guess it is the price to pay for great landscaping.

I’ve been coming to the kiahuna for almost 40 years and it has a timeless beauty that does not change with time. We love this particular unit for our family of four… the proximity to LittleFish Coffee, the Poipu Athletic Club, the pool and the beach. The sea turtles were particularly magical this year, and our kids were older and up for some bigger adventures (ziplining!). Thankful to the owner for maintaining such a clean, lovely property and being so responsive to communication. Every time we are able to go is a blessing and a gift!!

This condo was perfect for a family of 4. The location was great making it easy to travel either way on the island. Grounds were beautiful and the towel/chair check out so convenient. Adequate dishes, cookware etc. Comfortable beds. The pool is amazing and fairly quiet which we so nice. And the food at the pool is delicious. ( *the only thing we didn't check on when we rented this was that it doesn't have AC so it was quite balmy and tropical at night. ) Over all a wonderful place to stay for a family!

This property was fabulous for our party of 4 (4 adults). The dedicated beach was beautiful and the location to coffee, food, shops and hotels was within walking distance. I also loved the short drive to island activities. I would this place again!
April 2022
We really enjoyed our time in ye olde Unit 140 at Kiahuna Plantation. It was a great fit for our family with 3 adults and 2 kids. The living space upstairs is really open with decks on both the north and south sides of the unit so you could get nice airflow (no A/C), the vaulted ceilings really made it feel spacious. The downstairs floor has the bedrooms and bathrooms. It's was great to hang on the deck and see the sun and stars. There's a tiny view of the water and it's a quick walk to the beach. Kiahuna is immaculately maintained and lush. Access to the Athletic Club is a nice — a good spot for the kids to play in the pool while adults ate/drank/talked. Do note: it is across the street so it's not part of Kiahuna Plantation (and many other folks are members).
Overall, this unit was great. If I had a quibble, the hide-a-bed couch upstairs wasn't particularly comfortable. But that's minor -- perfect spot and Poipu is a ton of fun!

Hi, we loved the unit. However, our main annoyance was that the primary bedroom showers did not drain well. Every shower ended with a couple of inches of water in it. We suspect it was sand but we’d think there could be a way for the property management to address that. Otherwise, it was great!
Ross A.

Our family had a great time in this unit (which is as advertised) in a great location!
The owner was great in responding to a few COVID-requirement details in the lead up to the trip.
We look forward to a return stay.

Great condo overall and it worked well of our family of four on a week long vacation to Popui. We loved the condo layout and everyone was very pleased with the condo accommodations and comfort. All of the amenities of the Kiahuna Plantation and Popui Beach Club also made it amazing stay. We couldn't have been more pleased with our stay and Kirk was a wonderful host. We plan to visit again in the future and we are hopeful this condo will be available.

The size of the complex was daunting initially, but once we settled in the suite everything was peaceful. Kirk has a very nice setup for a family. Lovely open living area on the upper floor with peaceful garden and peekaboo ocean views. We spent quiet evenings on the lanai watching stars fall. The unit is equipped with beach equipment and plenty of gear for the smallest travellers. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you Kirk!

Grounds were immaculate, wonderful staff- cleaned outdoor grills everyday, beautiful surroundings, location- short walk to ocean beach and swimming pool, plenty of parking, an hour away from west and north shore. Communication with Kirk was very easy. The unit was split in 2 levels- made for great spaces to just enjoy the place. Great front and back decks. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was made for cooking- otherwise good restaurants across the street. Would stay here again-Poipu Beach area is brings out the kid in you!

First big trip since Covid. As you need tests/vaccines to even get on the plane, everything felt very well run. Once at the condo, we settled right in. It was a very comfy home base for our 5 days and we would have loved to stay longer. The pool is about a 7 min walk away. they have some of the best lunch around. The beach is to die for, esp in Kauai, which can super rocky beaches. The house it self was well set up. If you are looking to watch Football or something like that, be warned, the TV is tiny. We didn't care, thats not what we were there for. One thing to note: there is no AC. The windows take care of this, if you are too hot a cool shower fixes this and then you are fine. But that being said, you have to be careful about closing all the windows/sliding before you go to bed or you will be wakened early but sprinklers (4am) and then just all the families running around with their early risers. Close the everything up and you are just fine!

My family of 4 absolutely loved our stay here. The unit was very clean and had everything we needed. The location couldn’t be better. It’s a short walk to the beach, grocery stores, coffee shop, restaurants, etc. The kids absolutely loved the pool. Kirk was very timely in responding to any messages before and during the trip.
We will definitely return and I highly recommend this property. You won’t be disappointed.

I have travelled to Kiahuna Plantation for 45+ years. Came as a child and now bring my family often. Unit 140 is a great condo with a great location. It is a quiet end unit that is a quick walk to the beach. Kirk, the owner, is wonderful to work with and booking with him was effortless. We had a wonderful time for our 2 weeks in his unit.

Great space for our family and perfect location!
The only challenge was being able to use the kitchen as there were no staples provided (due to COVID cleaning procedures). Fortunately, Kirk was excellent at communicating and helped us prepare for our stay.
Unit is spacious, comfortable, clean and close to activities for the whole family.

We have stayed at Kirk’s property twice now and it is beyond gorgeous! Before that we stayed in 1 story units throughout Kiahuna Plantation, but as our family grew we needed more space. Kirk is quick at responding to any correspondence and Castle Resorts is always helpful when called upon. Highly recommend.

We’ve stayed at kiahuna for years and love the location and old school feel of the property. There is no A/C so pick your location appropriately. This unit was an end unit that faced east, so most of wind is directly into unit. Makes a big difference versus the middle units. Even with a good cross breeze we utilized the fans in unit 24/7. Bare minimum kitchen/cleaning items but wasn’t an issue, a quick run to big save solved the issue. Kiahuna in general is not a 5* luxury property. It’s dated and has its drawbacks, but I wouldn’t stay anywhere else on Kauai

Due to Covid, we had to continue our Hawaii trip several times. Kirk was very accomodating all the way, quick to respond to questions, reached out and checked in, etc. The property is great, with everything you need. We would definitely book here again.
