This property was great! It had all of the comforts of home while enjoying vacation. The kitchen had everything you need. There are fans all over the room as it does get quite warm. It is decorated to match the vibe of the island. Teri is extremely responsive and even gave us recommendations. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

I’m sorry you weren’t happy with my condo. I personally love the decor. I feel it’s very fitting for the Hawaiian Island - if you like Hawaiiana, which I do. The pictures do accurately represent the decor. The unit is at the back of the resort, which is why it has more privacy that the interior units. Again, I’m sorry you weren’t more happy with our home. Aloha

Nice condo, close to activities.

This is a nice quiet little condo. Clean and recently remodeled. It is an end unit. So we very and secluded. We enjoyed complete privacy on the balcony. The only issue we had was the listing as beach front. It was close to the beach, but completely blocked by the resort on the beach. You will not hear any ocean or see any waves from this condo. It’s about a 250 yard walk to get to the beach. Not a long walk, but not accessible for anyone with mobility issues. The pool and athletic club is similar. These are not major concerns, and we did enjoy the location very much.

Next to Poi'pu Beach and Sunny Weather

Stayed here May 10-17 (just my wife and I). Location is walking distance to Poi'pu beach (rated top 5 in US) and across the street from Little Fish Coffee shop. This lodging location is part of Kiahuna Plantation Resort. The resort's beach is Kiahuna beach and during our stay had some moderate surf. The property is listed accurately and has Air Conditioning. However, during our stay we rarely used it due to the coastal winds keeping us cool day and night. The parking area is covered with large mimosa trees and will shade your car during the day. The grounds in front of Kiahuna beach is meticulously kept and sitting on a beach chair watching the surf is relaxing. Property is located in building 40 and is bordered by the Marriot property. Our stay was relaxing and very enjoyable. We plan to return for a future vacation and hopefully bring our adult children with us. Unit also had complimentary beach chairs, coolers, boogie boards. To get beach towels, you must visit the resort's beach house to check them out. Location of this resort is in South Kauai and we hardly had any rain. Only our last night had any significant rainfall.

This was a beautiful property with a pretty private feeling lanai. We saw a rainbow from our Lanai the first morning. Just a short walk to the beach that is great for kids. All the equipment necessary for a fun day at the beach was provided. The bed was comfortable. The whole unit was beautifully decorated. We would definitely stay here again!

Auntie at the check in desk was super accommodating and helpful with everything. Quick walks to everywhere I love. Totally a wonderful time. Only thing I had trouble with was not having a Prime code for the tv in the bedroom, but we had a slumber party on the fold out and it was a grand ole time. Big mahalos for all the effort!

Aloha laura! Yes, this is a good time to remind everyone to bring their log in information for the smart tv apps. The Prime code would allow anyone to make purchases on the tv, so I suggest everyone log out of their apps before they check out of the condo. Come back soon! Mahalo, Terri

Great location and island

Very beautiful property. Nice full kitchen and convenient outside grill. Comfortable bed and friendly staff. Only disappointment was the cleaning service. We stayed for 2 and a half weeks and had to pay extra for midstay cleaning. But we had to do the cleaning ourselves. And very little to no cleaning supplies were provided. We love the island. So much to do. Hiking is unequaled.

Thank you, Pam. I am sorry about the mid-stay clean. The Resort charges what they charge. Due to Covid-protocols the maids cannot enter the unit while it is occupied. The mid-stay clean is now just to deliver clean linens and towels. I will talk to them about providing cleaning supplies so guests can do their own cleaning while in the unit.

Excellent place to stay on Kauai

This was an excellent place for our vacation in Hawaii. Poipu beach on the south side is really the best place for a beach centered vacation. Although we were there during an unusually rainy week there seemed to be less rain on this side. The unit is very well equipped and very clean and well furnished, sleeps 4 on a pull out bed. Fully stocked kitchen with lots of extras like a cooler, beach chairs, sand toys and even laundry and dish detergent. While this unit is about as far as you can be from the beach in the resort it's not a bad walk, about 5 minutes. The beach is excellent for surfing, snorkeling or laying in the sand. I would come back here.

A week to remember.

We had an amazing week! The condo was a perfect home away from home. We came with 6 other couples and every single one said they would have rather booked our room! A perfect distance between the beach and the pool tucked away just far enough from the rest of the property. AND WE GOT ENGAGED! I can’t wait to return and stay here again.

Stormy week

I’d rather be here during a stormy week than anywhere else! We love it here, but this unit was disappointing. However, you get what you pay for and it was one of the least expensive options. The place was not clean nor was it accurate in amenities. Check in was annoying and when we finally got here only one key worked. We will be back to Kiahuna but not this unit!

About the host

Hosted by Terri Schweitzer

Host profile image
My husband and I fell in love with Kauai on our honeymoon in 2001. The first time we stayed at the Kiahuna Plantation Resort we fell in love with it! Everytime we visit we long to come back. This year we decided to purchase a unit in the resort and hope to one day retire there. Hope you will love it too!

Why they chose this property

The location is amazing and Poipu beach is one of the best on the island for snorkeling, surfing, boogie boarding, wildlife watching. Get up early to see the seals and the sea turtles sleeping on the beach. Also, one of the only places where you can see both the morning sunrise and the sunset!
