Everything was great. I slept on the pullout couch and it was comfortable and my sister slept in the bedroom.

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.

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 property was in a great location, walking distance to the beach. Calm waters and easy surfing for beginners at the beach. Loved the beach hut with affordable rentals! The unit was spacious and fit our group of 5 well! Also loved having boogie boards, beach chairs and snorkel gear provided! The resort pool across the street was lots of fun for the kids. Would definitely stay here again!

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.

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.

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.

Great unit. Great location. Hot tub and pool are across the street. Hot tub always had lots of kids in it using as a play pool. Pool and hot tub close at 7:00 PM. no time for adults to use witout kids.

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!

Five seconds from the beach! Close to shopping! Clean and big! Didn’t want to leave!
Rebecca S.
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!
