We will definitely be back to this condo. Have been staying at Kiahuna Plantation for years. We loved this condo so much. Well stocked kitchen, privacy, great air conditioning, 2 TVs!. It was an amazing stay. Close to everything.
Fully equipped condo with amenities. The condo was clean,updated and had AC!
The beach view is limited which is clearly stated in the description, we still had a beautiful view of the garden and it's a quick walk to the beach.
Communication with the owner was excellent.
We would definitely stay here again!
The condo was just as described, with plenty of room for two to stay, a comfortable bed, a kitchen with coffee maker, microwave and toaster so we could breakfast in, and a nice balcony with a view over the gardens to the ocean. It was also nice to have lounging chairs as well as a dining table and chairs on the balcony, as the weather was almost always perfect to enjoy there. A/C was welcome though at the end of the days as well. The beach is a short walk from the condo, and the beach shack with towels and beach chairs was convenient.We also appreciated the dvd collection, relevant to Kauai, and enjoyed watching "The Descendants" one evening!Restaurants are available just across the road at the shopping/entertainment center, and we were able to find vegan and vegetarian options at several.We also used the fitness center and pool area across the street several times, which was a very nice amenity. And used the laundromat on grounds one morning. We recommend a stay here!
The communication with our hosts was wonderful. The landscaping and beauty of the surroundings was top notch. However our particular building was right next to the road which was extremely noisy and as far from the beach as one could be in this complex. It also was right next to the area where the landscape folks dropped off their cuttings. We were constantly inundated with road noise, machinery noise and blowers. Sitting on the lanai was not fun for these reasons. Iâm afraid for these reasons we would not rebook. The bed was very soft, covered with an egg crate type pad. Might be time to consider replacing?The beach area and sunsets were lovely.
Itâs a nice quiet unit, overlooking the gardens - so if you want privacy itâs a good location. Just a 5 min walk to the beach. Itâs got a very good size balcony, enough room to lounge in loungers, and a dinner table, so you can live outside (and have privacy with a garden view)The kitchen is nice, but bring your own spices as it basically has just salt and pepper (old tired spices for cooking a turkey dinner maybe ? Are there). Needs some upgraded frying pansâŠ..but has everything else to cook most meals (good electric stove with bells and whistles) Overall a nice roomy condo, a luxury was how we received housekeeping!
Rick was an incredible host who provided tips, advice, and excursion suggestions that allowed us to feel well-informed and prepared to take full advantage of every day during our stay. The property is beautiful and full of greenery, which means landscaping is constantly occurring to maintain the grounds. During our stay, two large trees were removed next to the condo and this contributed a lot of noise and prevented us from parking at the condo due to the machinery. A lot of work goes into maintaining the property, and it's possible your parking and access to the condo is interrupted. Despite this, we would absolutely book with Rick again! The staff were friendly and helpful, the condo was spotless with A/C already running, and there are numerous restaurants, local markets, and activities a short drive from the condo which allowed us to fit in a ton of activities in one day! You will have a wonderful time here!
This condo is the ideal place to stay with kids while on Kauai. The flat is spacious and well equipped, the gardens are beautiful, the ocean is a short walk away, the Poipu Athletic Club with its toddler-friendly pool (that you can use free of charge) is close by, clean and extremely convenient. Since the island isn't too large, you can access all parts of it with reasonable drives.After looking at all available options for accommodation on Kauai, we feel that this condo was the best deal available and would definitely stay here again.A bit of heads up: the bed is on the very soft side, and you can hear the traffic in the bedroom, but neither is too bothersome.
The location was perfect for our trip and the property was beautiful. There were a ton of great restaurants nearby and never felt overcrowded. We loved having a beach within walking distance.
We enjoyed the condo and Kiahuna Resort. The condo had all of the amenities to cook, make coffee and make meals if desired. The gardens out back were fun to stroll to and it was less than a 5 minute walk to the beach. The grounds were well maintained and clean. We enjoyed the beach for watching the sunset and the close proximity to shopping in Koloa. This is a great condo to stay at while exploring the south and west shores of Kauai. Would definitely recommend it! Thank you for a great trip!
Our family of four very much enjoyed our stay in this unit. It had a beautiful view looking over lush green gardens. The unit was clean and updated. It was a great experience all around
Everything is as described. We had a great time. We have been to Hawaii over ten times and we have stayed on all four major islands.The people of Hawaii (especially Kauai) are always welcoming, warm and friendly.The unit was close to pretty much everything. Nice folks working at the place made sure it always matched the descrption of the property as listed. We would normally not hesitate to return, but sadly we will not be visting the the USA for at least four years. . in is was
Pretty nice condo but a few things would make it excellent
We stayed for a week at the Kiahuna Plantation and loved the area, condo grounds and beach!The condo is next to the main road so if windows are open it can be a bit noisy during the day. At night we closed the windows and ran the ac and fans and werenât disturbed.The lanai and garden off the lanai are fabulous! So quiet and private- our favorite part!Condo is ok but a few upgrades would make it great!The floor needs replacing as the laminate is bubbling at the seams and has shifted, exposing gaps, in places and doesnât look great.Kitchen is stocked with only the very basics- and itâs all low quality. The 2 tiny skillets were unusable as the nonstick coating was so scratched and marred they were unsafe to use. They need to be replaced immediately!! I ended up buying a skillet and donating it when we left so I could cook eggs/stir-fry veggies.Toilet seemed to have a small leak and would run from time to time.Half the dresser drawers in the bedroom are broken and fall out if you pull them out a few inches.Bed was ok, but very bouncy, so if you have a restless partner, like I do, youâre in for a wild ride at night.All in all we did ok there, but a few upgrades would elevate it immensely. Nicer, quality kitchen utensils and cookware, including a citrus squeezer, knives, and food storage containers would be awesome.Also, the condo lacked a cooler for day trips, which most condos provide at this point. There were nice new Tommy Bahama beach chairs however!
The condo was nicely furnished, and nicely equipped. We elected to cook several days and the outdoor grill and indoor utensils made cooking easy. I would recommend this unit to anyone. It was a short walk to shops and our favorite restaurant Keokiâs Paradise
This is a very lovely condominium, and the grounds were very impressive with wonderful landscaping, very convenient to shops and the beach and to local beaches. It was a very well equipped kitchen for those who cook which we really appreciated there are stairs that you have to bring your luggage up for those that need something without stairs overall a wonderful experience
We loved everything about this placeâbeautifully decorated, comfortable, quiet, short walk to a little private beach. The Kiahuna Plantation has all the great amenities you find in resorts with all the privacy you need. Plus it is perfectly located. Easy drive to the Waimea Canyon or the Wailua River. And there is so much to do around there! We stayed 10 days but could easily have extended our stay. I would highly recommend and can't wait to go back. And last but not least, Rick is a wonderful host! He sent some recommendations for some activities and was always available for any questions. Thank You for making my birthday trip memorable :)
Great place to stay during the winter months, the beach was perfect and a very easy walk from the unit. Close to the harbor if you plan on doing any of the boating excursions. Great restaurants only minutes away.
Having just got back from 11 nights in Kauai our condo choice could not have been better. The condo itself has been remodeled to include air conditioning which is hard to find. Everything about the condo was just what we were looking for. Excellent amenities and adequately stocked for your basic needs. Whaler's General Store was a short walk across the street if there was an immediate need.
After spending our first day walking the grounds around Kiahuna Plantation and figuring the best way to access the beach it became very apparent that we were where we wanted to be. The closer you get to the beach you lose your seclusion and privacy.
The other part of the location we liked so much was that it was centrally located with a short walk to Kiahuna beach, shopping and restaurants. At night sitting on the private lanai enjoying the warm air and the sound of the surf was relaxing.
Evening meals were spent in cooking what we chose. The location of the BBQ just steps from the building was perfect. Met some amazing people hanging around the BBQ cooking up meals and visiting. Dinners were on the lanai enjoying the evening.
Kiahuna beach was great, excellent waves and not to crowded with incredible sunsets.Piopu beach is public and crowded.
Thank you for sharing your condo, communications, and being gracious hosts, I highly recommend this unit. You will not find a better deal at this price point. Looking forward to a return visit.
