Very easy access to multiple beaches, walking distance. Loved the area. We also loved access to the athletic center, having a kiddo with us was huge to have such an amazing pool. We would definitely come back. Very clean and nice apartment.

The perfect location for those who want easy access to the beach, lawn and BBQ’s. The sunset views from the patio cannot be beat! The condo was cute, clean, well equipped and having the washer and dryer was a big plus.

This is a superb Kiahuna condo. Very easy walk to a great beach which I love. The lanai is super private for a ground floor condo. A/C keeps the whole condo comfortable. Bed is comfortable. This condo has everything you need for a great stay. Will absolutely stay here again.

Loved our stay at this property!! Clean, quiet, fully stocked with everything we needed. Very comfortable king bed combined with all the white noise of multiple fans and the sounds of trade winds blowing…we were lulled to sleep each night. Spent time on the beautiful lanai each morning while sipping coffee enjoying the quietness of the morning and the view of the monkey pod tree🤗 Close walk to the beach, restaurants and shops. Loved the Poipu Athletic Club workout room and pool! The whole Kiahuna Property is just beautiful and peaceful!! Mahalo!!

By the time we arrived after traveling all day it was dark. The lit tiki torches along the entrance to the resort were pretty and welcoming. Check in was very quick and easy. Our host Deena had left a welcoming letter for us which was very thoughtful. We had dinner across the road at the strip mall there. The Gelato shop there is to die for!! Our unit was super clean and comfortable. The new AC was great. We enjoyed meals on the lanai. We did the adventure tour floating down the former sugar cane irrigation canals, which was amazing and educational. We visited the Koloa rum plantation and the coffee plantation. We drove up to the top of Waimea Canyon State Park and enjoyed the amazing views. We hiked along the coastline Heritage trail starting near the Grand Hyatt Resort. We did take a day to drive to the North Shore which has so much to see too. We also enjoyed snorkeling and just hanging out at Poipu Beach Park right by the resort, swimming and chilling in the sand. Great place, great time! Thanks Deena and Steve! There is so much to see

This unit in Building 32 is very close to the water. The trade off is that it is adjacent to a public beach parking lot and the back of the Sheraton property next door. Great view of the ocean and surfers, but lots of people and garbage trucks, etc outside the balcony. It turns out that September 15- October 25 there is major exterior construction on building 33 next door. Big equipment, jackhammers, etc from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The television in the primary bedroom was not working, and the acrylic bathtub was cracked and stained. The property manager indicated that they will be replaced soon. Furniture was dated and area rug worn and stained. Not our best experience…

Refrigerator is to loud if it is cooling The Dishwasher and the Dishes in the Kitchen was dirty. All the surface wasn't clean.

The location was great--quick walk to the beach and easy driving distance to the sites we wanted to see. We ate in quite a bit and the kitchen was well equipped to cook quick meals. The AC was helpful in the heat and humidity, the bed was comfortable, and the patio was lovely in the cooler mornings. Property management was responsive and the unit was clean.

We had such a great time during our time here on Kauai and the Vrbo was amazing. Fully updated with AC. Hostess was attentive and got back to us wi the answers to our questions. Perfect location on the property with quick access to the beach. The access to the health club across the street was the cherry on top. Beautifully redone pool with full service restaurant. We will definitely stay here again when we come back.

Nice stay.. clean and fully equipped kitchen as well as beach equipment- chairs, board, etc.. Only thing is no direct access to Kiahuna beach.. have to walk to the neighbor hotel or go by way of Sheraton. Otherwise .. good stay and thank you for the air conditioning!

Spectacular location. Condo beautifully decorated & spotless inside. Owner quick to respond to any questions. Everything we needed was there. AC was appreciated! Very convenient location for this part of Kauai. You won't be disappointed staying here! (Oh, and the sand on this beach was smooth & soft as silk!)

My daughter's friend was getting married at the Sheraton. So the family decided to tag along. The Condo was clean and just as promised. The check-in process was quick and very helpful. The staff was friendly and our VRBO host Kim emailed with easy-to-follow directions. Thanks again, Kim!

Very comfortable 1BR a short walk from the beach. Very quiet and conveniently located. Loved the Poipu Athletic Club across the street with pool, gym and classes (small fee). Bonus was the coffee shop on the way. Kiahuna is a short drive from the Shops (fancier restaurants) and Koloa town (more casual). Deena is fantastic - responsive and thoughtful. Loved everything!

My husband and I absolutely loved our stay in this condo. It was great to be at the back of the resort to easily drive to adventures across the island, but still have a quick walk to the beach. The unit itself was modern, stylish, and comfortable. We loved having AC in September, and the little washer/dryer unit was amazing. We ended up not cooking at all on this trip, even though the kitchen was well equipped.The unit is on the top floor of a 3 story unit, which we loved, but note there are a couple flights of stairs to get up there. You can see the ocean well enough to get a sense of the surf (it was pretty high for our whole visit due to stormy weather). There are tons of very good restaurants nearby, and many are walking distance away. The beach right at the resort was pretty good for swimming, and Poipu beach right next door has turtles that come up onto the beach at sunset and monk seals that sometimes snooze on the beach during the day. We absolutely loved this complex and this particular unit, and would highly recommend it! It had everything we were looking for, and a very responsive host as well!

This was a good place for two. Closet space, place to put and use luggage very limited. Two closets but both half crammed with owners property. As an aside instructions to use tv, particularly if not set on the required input is very difficult. Parking is a challenge here with high tenant count to this property.

We really loved our stay here. It has a beautiful unobstructed view of the water and it is such a short walk. Less than 5 min. The accommodations were clean, spacious and had all the necessary amenities like pots/pans, coffee maker, refrigerator etc. my only complaint is that the walls are thin so easy to hear others. Also we checked in past 8pm and we weren't given the building number only the unit number. Luckily a worker was driving on the property and showed us where it was.

We have stayed on this overall property 4 times and at this specific unit twice. We always love coming here. The unit is wonderful and has air-conditioning. Well appointed and comfortable with a nice lawn view and can see a setting sun and waves crashing in the distance. The owners are very responsive with great communication. The Plantation property is alway kept immaculate. Highly recommended. Thanks so much!

Great location to access beach, restaurants, shopping town and extracurricular activities ( Zipline ATV's Helicopter rides, boat tours). Property and condo unit are clean and well taken care off. Owners and property managers were extremely easy and great to work with. Enjoyed easy beach access, very nice common area, chaise longue chairs provided. Only downside was parking, most days it was easy to park close to the condo / building, couple of times spots were were full but it was a short walk. Would have provided five stars overall, however,during our stay it was extremely hot and humid for that time of the year, unit does not have AC, you rely on the cross breeze via fans & louvered windows. when gone you need to lock the patio doors so no cross ventilation, it was a little warm when returning. At night it was very comfortable to sleep, did not get hot during the night, however, you sometimes hear any late night vacationers returning to their condos. Overall I definitely would recommend the unit and property. Cheers!

Loved our stay! Unit was perfectly located, comfortable and welcoming. Owner was excellent and responsive in her communications. I’ve stayed at Kiahuna many times and this was the best. Thank you, Thank you!

September 2024

Initially very happy with location, condition and layout, but ended with 2 deal breakers: pullout couch is literally worst I've ever experienced. And, not sure which was worse, but the upstairs unit could apparently control our lights and fan, which set off an annoying game of on/off after bedtime, waking the kids up again right after getting them to sleep

Awesome place, we’ve been coming to the plantation for over 30 years and this is the nicest condo we’ve had so far.

This condo was the perfect spot for our 10 day honeymoon in Kauai! Less than 5 minutes to an amazing beach and all the amenities you could want. It’s in a great central location to go explore the rest of the island as well. Would stay again and recommend family stay here!

Nice, comfortable unit, a/c works very well and cools the whole condo. Lovely patio with nice foliage/setting, native birds, as well as sunset view. Grounds are beautiful, nice example of Hawaii. Short walk to the beach. Great location very near a variety of restaurants and shops.

We really enjoyed our stay in Poipu. The appartement is an ideal location to explore the south shore & Waimea Canyon. The appartment ist clean, good size for 2 people and with a wonderful seaview. Wifi is great :-). The communication to the host was quick, we even get a late check out for our evening fligth.

This is a very nice two bedroom condo located right on the Kiahuna beach. The upstairs is open and comfortable. The downstairs has the two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The Kiahuna Plantation is a beautiful area which is landscaped beautifully. We sat on the lanai and watched the ocean roll in. The owner is good to communicate with. We enjoyed our 8-day stay here from Sept. 2 through Sept. 10 and would stay there again in a heartbeat.

This place was gorgeous. Everything was updated, the kitchen and living room were huge. It was perfect for two couples. We each had our own bedroom and bathroom. It’s in a great building, a little off to the side by the Sheraton and close to the beach. This is a great choice if you’re looking for a larger, two bedroom unit. Kim is a great host. Very available and helpful.
Paula R.
September 2024

Great location and view. Close to the water, but far back enough for privacy. Beach chairs, umbrella, boogie board included. Erich was very available and quickly responded. The lei greeting was a nice welcome at the airport. All in all a good stay.
