Amazing location, perfect beach front spot.

Beautiful location and amenities. Can't go wrong with Kiahuna Plantation Resort, and this unit was perfect for our family of 4. With the in-unit washer dryer we could pack light, making travel with our 2 young kids much easier. Unit has amazing access to the lawn and the beach is just steps away. Close to the community grills, making it easy to cook at home, and a short walk to Poipu Athletic Club for the kids to swim and grab food if we didnt feel like cooking. Property Manager and Owner were great to deal with and very responsive to any questions. We will definitely be back!

Perfect spot at Kiahuna Plantation

We first stayed at Kiahuna Plantation 29 years ago. We have been back over a dozen times and i am always in search of the best unit to rent. Unit 10 might be it. Close to the ocean without being so close you hear everyone on the beach. A perfect sunset view and a washer/dryer. It’s a small thing, but makes life easier. The unit is well stocked and had beach umbrellas and chairs. We will be back next year.

Excellent location.

The location of this property is amazing. You can walk to many restaurants and shops. You are literally steps from the beach. You can lounge on the grass or the sand. We had four people which was a little tight but definitely manageable and worth having a unit so close to the beach. The host was always very prompt with her responses. We will absolutely be back.

Absolute Joy...

The unit was everything that was advertised. We stayed with a family of four. My wife and I found a mattress to be exceptionally comfortable. And the kids (7 & 3) found the pull out mattress acceptable. We ended up putting it on the floor every day as that was more comfortable than the couch frame (I wouldn’t have wanted to sleep on the sofa bed as an adult). Bathroom is clean. Water pressure was strong. Washer and dryer. Both worked well. No A/C, but we didn’t “need” it. Though there were a few times we wished we had it. Overall, if you open the windows on both sides, you get a pretty good cross breeze. Are all appliances worked well in the kitchen. It was also well stocked with utensils, cutting boards, mixing bowls, etc. One of the cabinets had leftover salts, a smattering of seasonings, and a little bit of cooking oil. You probably don’t want to count on all those things being there, but it was a nice surprise for us. The gym across the street is wonderful. And the food at their poolside cafe is actually quite good (and reasonable, considering Hawaii prices. Now, the highlight of this unit, is the location! Opening the blinds and sliding glass door every morning was an absolute joy. The lanai exits onto the soft and perfectly manicured grass, and it is one of the shortest possible walks to the beach, of any of the units in Kiahuna plantation. If we ever have the opportunity and finances to return to Kauai we would look for this property first.

We had a wonderful vacation stay at the resort, especially with the location of this particular unit in relation to the quick access to the beach. The grass area leading up to the beach in front of the unit and BBQ area are very well kept. We'll definitely be back!! Communication with Brooke and the staff on site was flawless.

Amazing Property

I was in Kauai to celebrate a friends 50 th birthday. One couple had a unit right on the beach and the other four couples had units further from the beach and closer to the main road. My friends on the beach did not have direct beach access which was problematic. My unit was completely central to the grass area, beach, and facilities so we all met there everyday….it was the perfect gathering place and place to hang out. The pictures are true to form, great cross winds and a very comfortable bed. Would definitely love to stay at this Unit again!

Cleanliness

We loved our stay eventually. Arrived to find unit filthy. Black hair inside the sheets, shower, sink. There was so much grease on the stove and knobs we couldn’t touch anything.We were discusted. Slept on top of bed until a cleaning crew could come in and do a complete cleaning. Also we were insulted with rules such as “put towels on furniture before sitting “ We are not slobs. Too many notes everywhere. This was our 29th trip to the island and we are very respectful of others property. Loved the location and eventually had a great time. BTW, the fake bougettes are layered in dust and should be thrown out.

Location is great and can walk out the front door right onto the lawn and beach. The property is well-maintained and clean with great landscaping.
