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 with new appliances installed in 2026. 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. Most recently we have updated some of the decor which you will see in the pictures of the bedroom and dining areas. Our video still reflects the old decor in these two spaces but still gives you a great view and vantage point of all that our condo offers.
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

This was our third stay at Plantation at Kiahuna and it didn’t disappoint. Karen has the unit set up perfectly for two with everything needed to feel like home. Great patio privacy with a full greeting by the birds each morning. Super comfortable bed and comfortable furniture for lounging and watching TV at night. We’ll be back to this one soon.

We are so delighted you enjoyed your stay with us. We look forward to hosting you again when your travels bring you back to Kauai.
Much Aloha, Karin
Decorated very nicely. Location very good. Kitchen had everything we needed, although more dishes would be nice. For those of us who opt out of housekeeping, a few more cleaning supplies like window cleaner would be nice. I would definitely recommend this unit. The A/C and washer/dryer were a definite plus.

Mahalo Anita! We are happy you enjoyed our condo. We have passed your comment on to the wonderful Castle staff. With Much Aloha, Karin and Chris Cahill
Beautiful condo located in close proximity to one of the most beautiful beaches. The condo has everything you might need including beach chairs, an umbrella, and a cooler. Loved being able to sit out on the lanai in the mornings and evenings and see a bit of the ocean. There is a walking trail where you can walk past the Sheraton to Kauai shops and restaurants. I snorkeled in shallow waters right on the beach and saw tons of fish. Awesome location!

About the host
Hosted by Karin Cahill
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.
