We loved everything about our stay in Poipu! The location of this unit is 10000/10!

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.

Great place to stay, although no ocean view(30sec walk to the beach), the greenery view from the lanai was beautiful and relaxing. Condo was clean and no issue during the stay. Owner was very helpful and responsive which made our reservation process quick and simple.

This is my 3rd time staying on this property and it never disappoints. It’s the perfect location for families especially if you're kids love the beach and want to surf. Plenty of grass for the kids to run around and the property itself is just stunning!

Excellent property. Hosts were great. Be sure to use the Alexa speaker provided to play “Slack key guitar music” or Hawaiian traditional music” to get in the Aloha spirit. Very nice lei greeting at the airport. The athletic club pool and tennis/pickleball courts are nearby.

Our stay here was wonderful. The unit is on an upper floor and is on the end, which made for privacy and quiet. The view was extraordinary. The accommodations were comfortable and thoughtfully decorated. It was clean, and everything worked well. We will return!

Everything about this stay was relaxing, enjoyable and easy. We loved the location and felt like it was the perfect home base to relax and explore the island. Mark was extremely helpful and communicative with us before check in and following up. We would not hesitate to stay here again. The condo is well appointed, clean, and had a great view. We very much enjoyed the whole property.

Truly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful place. The location so close to the beach was fantastic, and the beach itself is one of our favourite places on the planet. The condo was clean and had everything we needed. Couldn’t ask for better.

This is a BEAUTIFUL condo in an excellent location with a short drive to all to see/do/eat/shop. Beaches are plenty with monk seals and turtles 24/7. The condo itself is well appointed with many extras. It’s decorated like home, without air conditioning, which most people don’t mind & love the “cross winds”-others with allergies, may have some more symptoms than normal and leaves the dampness of linens a bit getting used to. The washer & dryer are a huge bonus and the facilities grounds are kept in immaculate condition!

Great place to stay during the winter months, the beach was perfect and a very easy walk from the unit. Close to the harbor if you plan on doing any of the boating excursions. Great restaurants only minutes away.
Michael D.
December 2024

The suite was very clean and has a very comfortable king bed. It was nice to have two TVs so when we put the little one in the main room to bed, we could watch TV in our bedroom. One of The Tommy Bahamas beach Chairs was broken and the fan in the main room is not working up to full speed, but the fan in the bedroom was very powerful we didn’t miss the AC

This property is our favorite on Kauai and certainly a repeat. The view from the lanai is absolutely perfect and the right distance from the beach to enjoy the grounds of Kiahuna Plantation while still watching the waves and hearing the surf.
Craig H.
December 2024

Wonderful location. Loved having views of the ocean and a walkout unit. Easy walking distance, either to Poipu Beach or the beach by the Sheridan. Enjoyed having access to the athletic club and pool. Also close to a couple of golf courses, shopping centers, and restaurants. Unit was updated, well maintained, comfortable furniture, well stocked for cooking “at home” with grills nearby.

This was our fourth stay and our favorite unit at the Kiahuna Plantation. Comfortable, excellent view, very well supplied in the kitchen and beach locker with everything we could possibly use to make our stay more enjoyable. Loved the lanai. The beach chairs were much appreciated.
