A week in psradise

This property was great! It had all of the comforts of home while enjoying vacation. The kitchen had everything you need. There are fans all over the room as it does get quite warm. It is decorated to match the vibe of the island. Teri is extremely responsive and even gave us recommendations. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Beautiful property with privacy

This was a beautiful property with a pretty private feeling lanai. We saw a rainbow from our Lanai the first morning. Just a short walk to the beach that is great for kids. All the equipment necessary for a fun day at the beach was provided. The bed was comfortable. The whole unit was beautifully decorated. We would definitely stay here again!

Great staycation

Auntie at the check in desk was super accommodating and helpful with everything. Quick walks to everywhere I love. Totally a wonderful time. Only thing I had trouble with was not having a Prime code for the tv in the bedroom, but we had a slumber party on the fold out and it was a grand ole time. Big mahalos for all the effort!

Great location and island

Very beautiful property. Nice full kitchen and convenient outside grill. Comfortable bed and friendly staff. Only disappointment was the cleaning service. We stayed for 2 and a half weeks and had to pay extra for midstay cleaning. But we had to do the cleaning ourselves. And very little to no cleaning supplies were provided. We love the island. So much to do. Hiking is unequaled.

Excellent place to stay on Kauai

This was an excellent place for our vacation in Hawaii. Poipu beach on the south side is really the best place for a beach centered vacation. Although we were there during an unusually rainy week there seemed to be less rain on this side. The unit is very well equipped and very clean and well furnished, sleeps 4 on a pull out bed. Fully stocked kitchen with lots of extras like a cooler, beach chairs, sand toys and even laundry and dish detergent. While this unit is about as far as you can be from the beach in the resort it's not a bad walk, about 5 minutes. The beach is excellent for surfing, snorkeling or laying in the sand. I would come back here.

Nice condo, close to activities.

This is a nice quiet little condo. Clean and recently remodeled. It is an end unit. So we very and secluded. We enjoyed complete privacy on the balcony. The only issue we had was the listing as beach front. It was close to the beach, but completely blocked by the resort on the beach. You will not hear any ocean or see any waves from this condo. It’s about a 250 yard walk to get to the beach. Not a long walk, but not accessible for anyone with mobility issues. The pool and athletic club is similar. These are not major concerns, and we did enjoy the location very much.

A week to remember.

We had an amazing week! The condo was a perfect home away from home. We came with 6 other couples and every single one said they would have rather booked our room! A perfect distance between the beach and the pool tucked away just far enough from the rest of the property. AND WE GOT ENGAGED! I can’t wait to return and stay here again.

Stormy week

I’d rather be here during a stormy week than anywhere else! We love it here, but this unit was disappointing. However, you get what you pay for and it was one of the least expensive options. The place was not clean nor was it accurate in amenities. Check in was annoying and when we finally got here only one key worked. We will be back to Kiahuna but not this unit!

About the host

Hosted by Terri Schweitzer

Host profile image
My husband and I fell in love with Kauai on our honeymoon in 2001. The first time we stayed at the Kiahuna Plantation Resort we fell in love with it! Everytime we visit we long to come back. This year we decided to purchase a unit in the resort and hope to one day retire there. Hope you will love it too!

Why they chose this property

The location is amazing and Poipu beach is one of the best on the island for snorkeling, surfing, boogie boarding, wildlife watching. Get up early to see the seals and the sea turtles sleeping on the beach. Also, one of the only places where you can see both the morning sunrise and the sunset!
