The condo worked out perfectly. Bed was comfy, kitchen is well stocked, plenty of towels. It was closed up when we arrived and a little warm but didn't take long for to cool off once we opened up. We would not hesitate to stay here again. One small note: one of the beach chairs needs to be replaced. It was flimsy at its best, but one arm was rusted through and snapped off.
A lovely condo that is beautifully maintained. When we weren’t at the beach or touring around, we were enjoying our wine on the patio. The sounds of the birds were music to our ears.
Great location, clean room, helpful correspondence from the owners/managers. No AC in this unit but we kept cool with the fans. Highly recommend

Dan,
Thank you for staying with us and for enjoying #49. We agree that as a second-floor end unit, A/C really isn’t necessary. Of course, for ground-floor or middle units, it can make a difference, but since 1974 our family has preferred to rely on the natural trade winds to keep #49 cool and comfortable. We do keep an eye on this, and we truly appreciate your feedback as more travelers grow accustomed to air conditioning.
Location and proximity to the beach is perfect! The athletic club is walkable as are multiple restaurants and breakfast spots. The condo is clean and well cared for!
Pros: Quiet unit, host communicated with us prior to our check-in well, access to Poipu Beach Athletic Club was nice. Convenient access to beach.Cons: Unit could use a deep cleaning. Areas including the carpets, bathroom/kitchen sinks and counters, refrigerator needed to be cleaned much better.

Joe and family thank you for your thoughts. In the next couple weeks we are scheduled to get new carpet. We have been working to get the new carpet in for months (island time). We sure appreciate the information on the cleaning process. This is very helpful for us and future guests.
Loved our stay, great property in a wonderful location. The beach was so nice it made it hard to leave to go exploring. We were skeptical about the athletic club pool but ended up loving it there. Great poolside service and perfect for families with kids of any age.

Thank you for staying with us. We totally understand your view on the pool/club. They have worked super hard to improve it over the years and like you we love it.
Kiahuna is a beautiful complex and this unit is conveniently located near the castle office and laundry. We had everything we needed including the local daily newspaper delivery. We enjoyed our stay here and hope to return soon!
We were delighted with this beautiful condo located within a 3 minute walk to Poipu Beach. We had a wonderful, private lanai with a great view of the lush and verdant grounds. The condo had a very well-equipped, modern kitchen, with an open concept to living/dining. The bed and bath were both comfortable and nicely appointed. Check in and out were seemless! We'd stay here again in a heartbeat!
Plantation is beautiful and the beach is outstanding! Loved the beach hut that provided chairs and towels. Our unit was well stocked and we really appreciated the beach umbrella! Nice and quiet, would definitely stay here again. Only complaint would be there are no sponges?!?! Makes cleaning hard

Hello, We are so glad you had such a great visit. I am sorry that you did not have sponges. They are provided by the front desk and we could have quickly got one for you. Must have been an oversight by the cleaning staff. We will look to correct that in the future. We appreciate your feedback on everything.
As advertised, just a short walk to the beach. Beautiful place to watch the sunset right out on the lawn. Also fun to watch the surfers. Was a great homebase for exploring the entire island. Turtles and monk seals at Poipu beach were fun to see. Put a little bit to get used to windows with no glass and how to set the shutters for the best cooling effect.
Great location, VERY short walk to the sandy beach
We rented 3 condos. We stayed in this one and our adult sons and their wives and kids (ages 1 and almost n 3) stayed in the others. This condo was perfect. Location is a short walk across the grass area to reach the beach and right next to the entrance to walk 7 minutes to the beach where the turtles come up at sunset to sleep at night. This unit does not have air conditioning but is a corner unit with the perfect cross breeze to stay cool all the time. IT also has a closet full of beach chairs, noodles, sand toys and a boogie board. The owners make it very welcoming. It is a short walk to a highly rated organic coffee/chia bowls/smoothies, breakfast/lunch place and a bit longer walk to shopping. We would stay here again.

We are so glad you had a great visit. We agree with you that the location and cooling breeze of #49 are wonderful. Please contact us if you visit again.
What a beautiful, comforting, and cozy hale this is! The location is wonderful: the view from the lanai overlooks the perfectly manicured lawn and gardens, yet the trees that surround it offer beauty and privacy. The kitchen is fully stocked with every appliance and utensil needed for easy home cooking. Comfortable island-style furniture is not only visually pleasing, it also provides a space of relaxation while enjoying the trade winds flowing through.
Excellent communication with the owners. They are very gracious hosts. We are grateful for the privilege of staying at such a delightful unit on our most favorite island in our most favorite region: the magical Koloa and Poipu.
I highly recommend booking with this sweet family! We would love to return to this haven.
Mahalo nui loa for everything!
The Kiahuna Resort is wonderful. It is our second time to this resort. The beach is close with good swimming. The beach hut has everything you need. The property is perfect for watching the sunset.
The room was nice. It is on the upper level on the end so the breeze is great for cooling off the room. So much so it even got chilly on some nights. The appliances are all new and the kitchen is stocked well. Maybe even over stocked as there aren’t any empty spaces for food. Exp: to many glasses and could be reorganized for optimal space. This condo also has beach chairs, umbrella and water toys. So nice. The bed is very comfortable. The location of the condo is close to the laundry and easy beach access. The con is it is also close to all the maintenance and housekeeping buildings. So at 7am it gets loud. But the roosters get loud then too so may as well get up. We stayed over 2 weeks and felt safe, comfortable and relaxed. Couldn’t ask for more.
Before I praise the property, I'll note 2 brief negatives. First, there is a resort cleaning fee we were not expecting of about $270. That was administered by the property itself, not the owner, and it was a sting. Second, the door lock was really finicky. We found ourselves locked out upon arriving near midnight, and security had to come help us. After that, it took numerous swipes to get the keycard to work. Security said they're going to update the readers soon, and it was kind of a hassle the whole time. BUT READ ON!
Those two small annoyances aside, this is an absolutely fantastic property and I would stay here again in a heartbeat. The location itself is right on fantastic beaches, and there are several good places to eat nearby, whether walking or a short drive. This unit in particular had a perfect lanai - just enough trees shielded it from view and it faced the grass and mountains. This meant the ocean wind did not scream into our unit, even during a few vicious rainstorms. Yet the slatted windows throughout provided excellent ventilation and a marvelous island experience. It was a joy to wake with chirping birds and roosters in the morning (though you may sometimes hear the maintenance people start their day if you're a light sleeper).
The unit was also well stocked with both beach and kitchen supplies, which saved us a ton of money. We cooked at least one meal every day, including using the nearby grills several nights.
This one is a winner. Enjoy it.

We sure appreciate your feedback and agree with your thoughts. We are changing the resort fee going forward. This is noted but has been tricky for other guests as well. We are in the process of changing out the door locks and hope that any trouble with them will be something in the past. Thanks for your patience as the resort works thru this.
Property is the best we have stayed in and we have been coming to the Plantation since 1988. Upgrades were excellent and the unit is well situated within the Plantation grounds. Staff were very pleasant and helpful
This unit was spacious and had all the amenities we could want, including beach gear. Access to the Poipu Athletic Club was fantastic.

About the host
Hosted by Preben Martin - Owner
Bob and Flo Scarff visited Hawaii in 1976 and flew to Kauai for the day on a whim. There they discovered Kiahuna Plantation, which at the time was still under construction. They were immediately sold by Kiahuna’s unique beauty and unit #49’s great location within the resort. While the Scarff’s still continue to visit, today their daughter Dianne Chandler and her husband Jim, and their grandson Preben Martin and his wife Nicole are the owners. The family’s love of Kiahuna has carried into a third generation, with #49 remaining a true home away from home.
