About this property

Serenity awaits - located just steps from beautiful Poipu beach with A/C!

Kiahuna Plantation Resort is all you dreamed Kauai would be, and our beautiful condominium is located in the lush gardens of this vacationer's paradise. Take in partial ocean views in the dining area and on on our very private Lanai. Our inviting beach is yours to enjoy-- just a few steps from our beautiful condo.

Our unit has been updated (Unit #168 in bldg. 26), making it a more desirable unit at Kiahuna Plantation. We have one of the most private Lanais in the resort. We also now have A/C! The bedroom features a brand new Cal king bed (April 2022). Our beautiful living room also has a new queen size pull-out mattress in the sofa. Our kitchen is fully appointed for your convenience. Lounge comfortably on the private patio/lanai. Take advantage of our in-condo washer and dryer. High speed Internet and TV both in living room and bedroom.

To make your beach time more fun, grab complimentary towels and beach chairs at the Beach Hut 'shack' near the water. A child friendly pool with slide, a gym and tennis courts are offered directly across from the resort at the Poipu Beach Athletic Club. Two golf courses, Poipu Bay and Kiahuna, are just down the road.

We are happy to provide our client references at your request. Should you find that our condo is booked during your requested dates, let us refer you to another of our partnering condos in the resort.

Kiahuna Plantation Resort is the jewel of Poipu's sunny south shore on Kauai. Nothing compares to our beautiful gardens and location. This is a fun destination for families, a romantic getaway for honeymooners, and a memorable place to celebrate special occasions.

This beautiful condo is under new ownership but has the same beautiful appointments and service you have been used to if you are a return guest.

Have a wonderful time on Kauai!
Chris and Karin Cahill


LOCAL ACTIVITIES
There is much to do if you have any time left after enjoying the beach and the amazing snorkeling right out in front of the Kiahuna Plantation. World-class golf is minutes away at Kiahuna Golf Club, or at the nearby Poipu Bay Golf Club. Make sure to explore Historic Koloa Town during your visit. Another interesting stop is the Spouting Horn, found just west of Kiahuna Plantation. Be sure to check out the free hula shows across the street in the Poipu Shopping Village. There are so many restaurants with amazing happy hours within walking distance for you to enjoy as well.

Beautiful space and well stocked with everything we needed!

The owners were easy to communicate with and very friendly.We were a family of 4 (2 adults and two kids, 8 and 10) and fit very comfortably in the space. The condo was very well stocked with everything we needed (even had two beach chairs, umbrella, cooler and sand toys). Kitchen had all appliances and utensils we needed too. Our lanai opened to a grassy space that was nice and quiet. Unit had air conditioning and a washer and dryer which are not in every condo so definitely an added bonus. They also had some guide books and summer reads too. We would highly recommend this unit and would definitely stay again.

Truly paradise!

I wish you could leave 10 stars - we had an amazing stay! The property was even more beautiful that the photos. The lanai extends to a grassy yard, perfect for our daughter to run around. The beach is maybe 50 steps away but the property feels very private. Easy to walk to and set up for the beach. They even had an umbrella, Tommy Bahama beach chairs, sand toys and coolers to use. Loved the AC and laundry in unit! A huge plus when traveling with a family. The kitchen is fully stocked and we ate most meals in. Walking distance to the pool (5-10 min depending) and was a nice to enjoy. We felt very safe at the property and walking around at night. Quick drive to shopping centers and exploring the island. We had great communication and loved our stay. Would highly recommend!

The condo was clean and comfortable. We have stayed on this property for the past 5 years in different condos and this one was by far great!! The bed was very comfortable, kitchen was stocked well, and the upgrades were nice. Walking distant to everything you need. It was nice to have a washer and dryer in the unit. Would recommend!!

We had an amazing time at this condo. Entire property is very nice and the condo is in great shape with everything you need. Kiahuna Beach is a 1-2 minute easy walk with a beach hut that has towels, surfboards, surf lessons, snorkel gear, etc. The whole Poipu area was wonderful with lots of food and some shopping close and Kōloa was a 10 minute drive as well.

About the host

Hosted by Karin Cahill

Host profile image
We are excited to be the new owners of this beautiful condo located just steps away from Poipu Beach on Kauai's south shore. We have been traveling to Kauai for 18 years and have always enjoyed all the gifts the "Garden Isle" has to give.

When we were planning our "retirement" we decided that we loved Kauai so much we wanted others to enjoy and experience it like we do. That's when the perfect opportunity presented itself to become the new owners of this beautifully updated condo.

We look forward to hosting you and your family or friends on what we believe is the most beautiful place on earth.

We welcome you to our condo with much Aloha,
Karin and Chris Cahill

Why they chose this property

Our condo is located in the Kiahuna Plantation property that has wonderful lush gardens, large shaded monkey pod trees and open lawns that lead right up to the beach. The entire property is quiet and serene. It is located within walking distance to many restaurants, shopping and other amenities.

What makes this property unique

Our condo has been renovated and updated compared to some of the other units in the property. It has a recently added split unit A/C which is a plus when the trade winds are not strong. It has an open concept that makes the condo very comfy and inviting. Our lanai has beautiful tropical flora that make it feel private when you are sitting enjoying coffee in the morning or a tropical treat in the evening.
