Kiahuna #44 • A/C • REMODELED & UPDATED Ground-Floor End Unit • 2 Min to Beach
HURRICANE LOWELL UPDATE — OCTOBER 2026
Kiahuna Plantation and the Poipu area are actively recovering from Hurricane Lowell. Unit 44 fared well, and cleanup and repairs continue throughout the property. Kiahuna has confirmed that the property is safe to walk around, although some areas remain fenced while recovery work continues. Due to storm-related erosion, there is currently no direct beach access from Kiahuna's Great Lawn. Kiahuna Beach remains accessible from other nearby public access points. The Beach Hut is temporarily closed while Kiahuna works toward rebuilding it; surf lessons are being offered from a temporary location on the property, and beach towels will be provided in Unit 44 for our guests during this transition. On-site guest laundry is temporarily unavailable while new washers and dryers are on order, with reopening currently anticipated in late November. Community BBQ grills are available and being cleaned daily. We’ll continue to keep upcoming guests updated as conditions change.
Unit 44 at Kiahuna Plantation is a fully remodeled and newly updated ground-floor end unit with split A/C in both the living room and bedroom — just a 2-minute walk to Kiahuna Beach and the Great Lawn.
Combining Kiahuna's relaxed island atmosphere with a completely updated interior, Unit 44 features a remodeled kitchen, remodeled bathroom with spacious walk-in tiled shower, and ceramic wood-look tile flooring throughout. We recently completed an additional top-to-bottom update with fresh paint throughout, refinished woodwork, new split A/C, and new furnishings, decor, lighting and California king mattress.
The result is a fresh, comfortable island retreat designed for an easy, relaxing stay in Poipu.
THE CONDO
Located in Building 9, Unit 44 is a private ground-floor end unit with extra windows, natural light and easy indoor-outdoor living. Enjoy Kauai's tradewinds when you want them, or close everything up and enjoy individually controlled split A/C in both the bedroom and living room.
Inside you'll find:
– Remodeled kitchen with granite countertops and everything you need for cooking and dining – California king bed with new mattress – Split A/C in both the bedroom and living room – Remodeled bathroom with spacious walk-in tiled shower, showerhead and convenient handheld sprayer — especially nice for families with young children – Ceramic wood-look tile flooring throughout – Comfortable living area with queen sleeper sofa – Fast WiFi and Smart TVs – Convenient charging stations for your devices – The ground-floor lanai opens directly onto the lawn and is surrounded by Kiahuna's beautiful tropical landscaping, creating a private, tucked-away setting for morning coffee, reading in the afternoon or relaxing at the end of the day.
BEACH DAYS MADE EASY
One of the best things about Unit 44 is how easy it is to head to the beach.
A dedicated beach-gear closet just outside our front door keeps your beach gear close at hand. We provide beach chairs, an umbrella, cooler, a boogie board, snorkel gear, floating lounge chairs, a large beach tote and dry-storage bag.
Kiahuna Beach is normally only about a two-minute walk across the lawn from Unit 44. During the current Hurricane Lowell recovery, direct beach access from Kiahuna's Great Lawn is temporarily closed due to storm-related erosion. The beach remains accessible from other nearby public access points.
Another nice convenience is easy access to two nearby foot-wash stations — one just off our lanai and another along the walkway near our front door — handy after a day at the beach.
KIAHUNA PLANTATION & POIPU
Kiahuna Plantation is one of Poipu's most loved beachfront properties, known for its expansive lawns, mature tropical landscaping and relaxed, low-rise island atmosphere. Rather than a high-rise resort, Kiahuna is spread across acres of beautiful open space leading down to the beach.
From Unit 44, you're also close to the walking paths connecting Kiahuna with Poipu Beach and the South Shore coastline.
Restaurants, coffee, shopping and several of Poipu's beaches are all within walking distance, making it easy to enjoy much of Poipu without getting in the car.
For guests traveling with an electric vehicle, an EV charging station is conveniently located just outside Building 9.
INCLUDED WITH YOUR STAY
Your stay includes complimentary access to the Poipu Beach Athletic Club, located just across the street from Kiahuna Plantation, featuring:
– Resort-style pool with waterslide and hot tub – Tennis and pickleball courts – Basketball and shuffleboard – Fitness center and workout classes
Kiahuna Plantation also offers shared BBQ areas and free nearby parking.
On-site laundry facilities are temporarily unavailable while new washers and dryers are being installed.
NO SURPRISE CLEANING FEES
All required housekeeping services and the mandatory checkout cleaning are included in our rates.
There is no separate mandatory cleaning fee added to your reservation — an important difference when comparing the total cost of your stay.
A PLACE WE LOVE
Kiahuna has been special to us for years, and we've put tremendous thought and care into making Unit 44 a vacation retreat that feels fresh, comfortable and easy from the moment you arrive.
We hope you'll enjoy the relaxed rhythm of Kiahuna as much as we do — morning coffee on the lanai, days spent exploring the island, and a cool, comfortable retreat to return to at the end of the day.

This place is wonderful! We have stayed in many different units around Kiahuna plantation and we love the location of this one. There is a big open lawn out back for kids to run around and it’s so close to the beach! The beds are comfy and the unit itself is nice, we hope to come back next summer!!

Mahalo so much for your wonderful review! We’re so happy you enjoyed your stay and that Building 9’s location was such a great fit for your family. We love that open lawn too—it’s such a special place to relax while the kids can run and play, and being just a short walk to the beach is hard to beat.
It means a lot to hear that you found the beds comfortable and enjoyed the condo. We’d be honored to welcome you back next summer and hope to host you again for another memorable Kauaʻi vacation!
Cannot say enough great things about this spot! Amazing location, steps from Poipu beach, and a short drive to Old Koloa Town. Wish we could’ve stayed longer!Jill was super communicative and made check in and out so easy. 100% would book again! Great stop on our honeymoon, Kauai is amazing.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Jordin! We are so happy you enjoyed your honeymoon and that our condo could be a small part of such a special trip. It is wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the location and that check-in and check-out were easy. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Kauai in the future.
Kiahuna Plantation is great overall and a steal of a value in Poipu. This unit is well located a few buildings from the beach, and near the large central tree and twin bridges. We had wonderful days at the beach, pool, hiking, ziplining, and taking a tubing adventure.

Thank you so much for your kind review, Peter—and for sharing those beautiful photos! They brought a huge smile to my face.
I'm so happy you enjoyed your stay and had the chance to experience so many of the things that make Kauai so special. We fell in love with Kiahuna Plantation for the very same reasons—the beautiful grounds, the easy walk to the beach, and such a perfect location for enjoying everything Poipu has to offer.
It was truly a pleasure hosting you, and we'd love to welcome you back the next time you're on Kauai. Hopefully we'll have the chance to host you again!
Mahalo again!

Kiahuna Plantation is a wonderful place to stay. Doreen was great with communication. The resort is quiet and so accessible to the beach, pool, and club house with many activities. Very child friendly too. This is our go to resort when in Kauai.
Loved our stay so much that this is our second time here! Perfect location to all the sights/hikes/beaches. Clean and well maintained property. We had the best time!
Lots of chickens. Sprinklers are loud in the early morning. Open air unit so it's a bit noisy.Great access to the beach, pool is off site but quite nice.

About the host
Hosted by Jill Hayes
We’re Jill & Darryl, and Kiahuna Plantation has been a special place to us for many years — long before we ever became owners. We’ve spent countless mornings walking to the beach with coffee in hand, afternoons enjoying the tradewinds from the lanai, and evenings settling into the relaxed rhythm that makes this part of Kauai so special.
When we had the opportunity to make #44 our own, we knew we wanted to create a place that felt fresh and updated while preserving the relaxed Hawaiian plantation style that is such a special part of Kiahuna’s character. The condo had already undergone a beautiful remodel, including the kitchen and walk-in shower, and in the summer of 2026 we spent nearly a month giving the rest of the space a complete refresh. We painted the entire condo, added air conditioning throughout, updated lighting and fixtures, and replaced furnishings, decor and many of the everyday essentials — working our way through the unit from top to bottom. Throughout it all, our goal was to create a more modern take on Kiahuna’s classic plantation style without losing the character that made us fall in love with it in the first place.
We put a lot of ourselves into #44 and thought carefully about the details that would give it a sense of place as well as make a vacation stay more comfortable. The condo includes original artwork and a one-of-a-kind, old-style Hawaiian surfboard we commissioned from local craftsman Jeremy of Lloyd’s Boards — touches that make the space feel personal and uniquely connected to the island.
Our hope is that #44 feels like more than simply a place to stay — that it becomes part of your Kauai experience. A place for coffee on the lanai in the morning, easy beach days, sunset walks, and coming back at the end of the day to a space that feels comfortable and welcoming.
We live in Northern California and genuinely love sharing this little piece of Kauai with others. Mahalo for considering #44 for your stay.
Why they chose this property
We’ve always loved this part of Kiahuna because it feels quiet, peaceful, and tucked into so much greenery. One of our favorite things about this condo is how connected it feels to the outdoors — from the rustling of the banana palms just outside the windows to the tradewinds that move through the condo throughout the day.
We spend a lot of time on the lanai — reading a good book, playing games at the outdoor table after a beach day, or simply slowing down and enjoying the surroundings. We especially love that the lanai stays shady and comfortable in the afternoons while still looking out onto the sunlit expansive lawn, where the late day light creates a beautiful glow across the grass.
The ground-floor location was another huge draw for us. There are no stairs from the parking area to the condo, which is something you really appreciate after a Costco run or carrying in beach gear for the day. We also love the easy walk down the grassy path toward the Great Lawn and beach — especially when the plumeria trees are blooming along the way.
For us, Kiahuna has a timeless charm that’s become harder to find on Kauai. From morning coffee walks to sunset strolls across the lawn, this place immediately felt like somewhere we wanted to return to again and again — and eventually call our own.
What makes this property unique
This condo is a true ground-floor end-unit location within Kiahuna Plantation. The additional side windows in the kitchen and dining area bring in wonderful tradewind airflow and natural light, and the lanai opens onto an expansive lawn and lush greenery.
The condo is also one of the rare units with no stairs from the nearby parking area to the front door — something guests especially appreciate when arriving with luggage, groceries, or beach gear.
We also love the balance this location offers: peaceful and private feeling, yet still an easy walk to Kiahuna Beach, the Great Lawn, nearby restaurants, and the athletic club.
