About this property

Bright beach condo #231 - Updated and steps to the beach!

Welcome to our beach house #231 at Kiahuna Plantation! Get ready to relax and enjoy this updated and spacious 1 bedroom, 1 bath condo on Kauai’s sunny south shore. Savor the cool, calming trade winds, in this top floor-corner unit after a long day of exploring all the leisure, hiking, and water sport activities of beautiful Poipu beach. Kiahuna is considered the area’s premier beach-front rental property, the only resort in Poipu with its own white sand beach and Hawaii’s largest orchid garden.

Nestled on the 35 acres of immaculately styled beachfront gardens of Kiahuna Plantation, this classic plantation style condo has everything you need for a fun and relaxing island vacation. #231 features an open remodeled living area, with vaulted ceilings, granite countertops, and new appliances. The large lanai tucked away in a sprawling Monkeypod tree, offers privacy to guests and is the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee, lose yourself in your favorite novel, or experience the romantic Hawaiian sunset. Unwind after a long day in a beautifully renovated spa-like shower complete with all the amenities of home. This bright, clean and well-appointed unit has everything you need to rejuvenate after a full day of experiencing everything Kauai has to offer. All the rooms have louvered windows and doors which lets the breeze pass right through.

Kiahuna’s beach is a quick walk through the beautifully landscaped grounds. There is a manicured lawn dotted with palm trees fronting the beach and that is where you will find the Beach Hut which provides complimentary beach chairs and towels. The Hut also offers snacks and rentals of various beach toys. The beach is fairly private and it is used mostly by people staying at Kiahuna. It connects to Poipu Beach which has more activity and good snorkeling. Poipu was rated #1 by The Travel Channel and has been chosen as one of the most beautiful beaches in America.

On-site management is provided, staffed 24 hours a day. You check in like a hotel, and the friendly staff is always available to help with things to do, directions and reservations. Guests have full complimentary access to the Poipu Beach Athletic Club (right across the street) with aerobic equipment, weight training machines, tennis courts, classes and an awesome pool. Kiahuna has a laundry facility on the grounds near the condo.

This amazing beachfront property is just steps away from sandy beaches, snorkeling, surfing, and restaurants. Kiahuna Plantation is the ideal location to explore Kauai’s world class hiking, championship golf, and kayak tours. It is easy to see why we chose to call this place our second home. Get ready to experience all the adventure and relaxation the island of Kauai can provide!

Restful stay

Our 4th time at Kiahuna plantation, and it was great! My teen daughters enjoyed swimming and sunsets, as well as close by fruit stands! The place had everything to make meals and was close enough to many restaurants when we did not want to cook!

Nice unit!

We enjoyed the location. Close walk over to the beach and across the street to the shopping center and athletic club. Our only slight dislike was the stairs especially with beach gear, luggage, etc. which is why I gave 4 stars for location. It was a very peaceful location so that offsets the stairs! We loved hearing the breeze and the rain through the night. We’d rent again.

One the best values and locations at Kiahuna

The privacy, location, and coziness of the apartment make this one of our favorites in Kiahuna. The third floor was worth the climb, and the place was super clean. The bed was comfy, and the larger deck (and overhang) was perfect for the occasional rainy day. The owner was fantastic at communicating, and we'd come back here in a second if we could.

Excellent condo at the lovely Kiahuna Plantation resort

Kiahuna Plantation is my favorite place to stay on Kauai, and this condo was the best out of the three I’ve rented. It’s very comfortable and nicely decorated. I also loved looking out at the monkeypod tree, and I appreciated its location within the complex (easy parking just in front and directly across the street from the Poipu Shopping Village with its many shops and eating options.). The property management’s maintenance people were very prompt and helpful with two minor issues. I would be happy to return (at least for as long as I can manage three flights of stairs!)

Private Paradise!

Loved our stay at this property!! Clean, quiet, fully stocked with everything we needed. Very comfortable king bed combined with all the white noise of multiple fans and the sounds of trade winds blowing…we were lulled to sleep each night. Spent time on the beautiful lanai each morning while sipping coffee enjoying the quietness of the morning and the view of the monkey pod tree🤗 Close walk to the beach, restaurants and shops. Loved the Poipu Athletic Club workout room and pool! The whole Kiahuna Property is just beautiful and peaceful!! Mahalo!!

Great Experience

A fantastic location for anyone! The unit was clean and well maintained. Stocked kitchen for the nights that we wanted to cook and spacious enough where we didnt feel cramped. The beach is a short walk away and had beach equipment to use. Megan was excellent to work with and provided great recommendations for activities to do locally and around the island. She was also very accomodating when we needed to adjust our plans. Would absolutely stay again! Thanks for sharing your place Megan!

Nice location with a beautiful beach and close to amenities

The unit we stayed was just as published - clean and close to the beach, stores, restaurant and a great gym & pool. It would have been nice to have air conditioning, but we were able to adapt to the temperature quite quickly by leaving the windows open in the evenings and night. We would recommend the unit, but would have liked that there would be more storage for our clothes (we stayed 7+ nights) and that there would be more kitchen basics, such as salt, pepper and oil for our cooking needs. We definitely recommend the location for its landscaping, beautiful beach and even the amenities - surfing lessons on site. Thank you for the beautiful stay.

Nice place!

Cute place, good spot under the monkey tree. Clean and tidy. DVD player cords and controller were broken. Bed mattress has heavy dip to the side in the right. Hawaii government asked tourists to stay home due to the pandemic, condo owners denied cancellation request. So be sure you are prepared and 100% committed before making your reservation.

Wonderful vacation home just minutes away from an amazing beach!

We had a wonderful stay at this vacation home! It was very clean and well decorated. We loved how it was a 5-minute walk to Poipu beach, which was so beautiful! It was so convenient not having to drive to the beach! The king-size bed was so comfy! There was a pack n play for my baby to use and she slept great in it. There is no A/C in the unit, but there are plenty of fans throughout the home. We went in February and never felt too “hot” inside. There is a closet full of beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, etc! The lanai is beautiful with a nice private view. There is a cleaning fee you pay to the resort at time of check-in at the main office, so be mindful of that! It is on the 3rd floor so consider how much luggage you bring with. The host was great and very prompt with replying to any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again!

Amazing Condos

We really enjoyed our stay in this ground level, AC condo. It was clean and in a great spot. There are a few things that we could suggest that would help others I believe. There was only 1 dish rag and dish towel for 9 days and that was hard. There could be some more spices that are commonly used for cooking. There was a coffee maker and that made the week fun to sit on the Lanai and listen to the birds. In the outside closet there was only one chair not pair but there was 2 grass matts, that didn't make sense to us. I think that with these small things we would still stay there again they weren't a no go for staying there.

15 day stay

Amazing spot with an amazing beach. Check out little fish across the street and start your day at Poipu athletic club, a great perk of staying here. Prepare yourself for no ac but the fans provided make it comfortable. We had 2 days of construction in the unit next to us which was a bummer but not at all a reflection of the great owners of this unit. In addition, the owners are very communicative and quick to respond. Cheers from Matt and Addy

We loved every single part of staying here! My son and I stayed here for a week (he's 5) and we both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The owner was super kind and quickly responded to any questions we had. The location was amazing as well- walkable distance to multiple beaches and close to multiple shopping centers. The pool is close to the place and both my son and I visited it every day- there's pool side drinks and food available, and there was an awesome slide! I recommend this place for all!

First time to Kauai and we absolutely loved it and this property was perfect. Better than we thought, lovely breeze comes through with the sounds of birds chirping - just so relaxing, 5 min walk through the gorgeous resort to the best beach on the island ! Well stocked, chairs and umbrella for the beach were much appreciated, close to coffee shops, cute shopping area across street, with restaurants and a small grocery store, and bar at the pool was great to grab a cocktail.

O.K.

The Kiahuna Plantation is a wonderfully landscaped property, and on that basis alone it is a wonderful place to stay. Unfortunately, a number of the condo have not been upgraded sufficiently, as was the one we stayed in. The bathtub/shower situation, as well as the toilet are what I would call horrible. Also, the appliances are old and cheap and subject to problems. The painting and decorating of the place was on the plus side.

About the host

Host profile image
I live in the Seattle area with 2 sweet pups and have been escaping to Kauai every November for the last 14 years. Poipu has become a place to spend time with family and relax from a hectic life. I was so fortunate to purchase a little piece of paradise at Kiahuna Plantation in 2016 and look forward to sharing this beach house with you.

Thank you for your interest!
