About this property

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.

    ****UPDATE - Our condo is unaffected by the recent storm and ready to welcome guests October 1, 2026. Kauai is recovering quickly and many restaurants, shops, tours and beaches are already open and ready for your business. We are here to answer any questions you may have before booking.

    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 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's both in the 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


    LOCAL ACTIVITIES
    There is much to do if you have any time left after enjoying the beach and the amazing snorkeling right out in front of the Kiahuna Plantation. World-class golf is minutes away at Kiahuna Golf Club, or at the nearby Poipu Bay Golf Club. Make sure to explore Historic Koloa Town during your visit. Another interesting stop is the Spouting Horn, found just west of Kiahuna Plantation. Be sure to check out the free hula shows across the street in the Poipu Shopping Village. There are so many restaurants with amazing happy hours within walking distance for you to enjoy as well.

    CHECK-IN / CHECK-OUT POLICY
    • Check-in time is 3:00 PM / Check-out time is 11:00 AM

    VRBO BOOKING FEE: VRBO/HomeAway charges a booking fee to all Guests booking through their sites. This fee is shown as “Service Fee” in the Quote and goes directly to VRBO/HomeAway.

    CANCELLATION POLICY: Travelers who cancel at least 30 days before check-in will get back 100% of the amount they've paid. If they cancel between 14 and 30 days before check-in, they will get back 50% of the full booking amount. Otherwise, 14 days or less before check in will not be refunded including early departure prior to the end date of the reservation. Failure to pay second rental payment by due date will result in cancellation of booking and forfeiture of the first payment.

    TRAVEL INSURANCE - We strongly recommend that all guests purchase a comprehensive travel insurance policy at the time of booking to protect their vacation investment. Unforeseen circumstances such as medical or family emergencies, flight cancellations, severe weather, or sudden work commitments can disrupt even the best-laid plans. A robust travel insurance plan can provide peace of mind by covering non-refundable trip costs. Please note that our cancellation policy outlined above remains in effect regardless of the reason for your cancellation, making third-party "cancel for any reason" insurance the best way to safeguard yourself against financial loss.

Great location! Close to the beach and many wonderful restaurants nearby. Kitchen was well supplied and we made our breakfast and lunches there. We also enjoyed the pickleball courts. We didn’t use the pool but seemed nice—we are more ocean people.

My friend and I stayed here on our trip to Kauai to celebrate our graduation. It was amazing! We spent a lot of time at the beach right by the resort, it was perfect for swimming in the ocean. We did not rent a car and could easily walk to restaurants and shopping. Karin was helpful, very responsive and accommodating. The condo location was great, and the condo was extremely clean and comfortable. It was a perfect graduation trip. We hope we can go back to Kauai and would definitely stay at Karin’s place again.

The Condo is beautifully decorated and appears just like the pictures. The location is amazing. It is an easy walk to restaurants and multiple beaches. We would walk to Poipu daily just to see the what marine life was up on the beach. We saw lots of turtles and 2 Hawaiian Monk Seals. Only negative was a few housekeeping issues that Karin the owner was very responsive to and resolved quickly. It is a little confusing because Castle takes care of check in and cleaning but when you call them they will not deal with problems because in their words “you rented directly from the owner.”Again Karin was very helpful and would 100% stay in this condo again!

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 had a wonderful 2 weeks at Kiahuna. Our unit was perfect! We had 4 adults stay together and we were super comfortable. The unit has been renovated beautifully and is super close to both the beach and the lawn. We could see and hear the waves from the patio! The AC kept us cool inside and the washer dryer was an added bonus - our adult kids were extremely happy to go home with clean clothes! This unit is a first floor unit which we loved - having direct access to the garden from our patio made our exterior space feel endless. Our host was great during our stay and answered our messages quickly which made the vacation even more relaxing. We come to Kiahuna every year and have stayed in many units - we will definitely check this one out again!

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!
