Remodeled Condo with / AC. Short Walk to Beach, Starbucks, and Shops.

Tastefully remodeled bungalow style 1-bedroom AIR-CONDITIONED condo at the popular Kiahuna Plantation, a 35-acre beachfront condo resort in the sunny South Shores area that evokes memories of Kauai’s early sugar plantation lifestyle.

Enjoy a short walk through the lush tropical grounds to one of the island's best beaches, or stroll across the road to quaint restaurants, shops, or Starbucks. The condo features a large master bedroom with King size bed, and a Queen size sofa sleeper in the living room.

In Hawaiian “Kiahuna” means “Special Place”. The Kiahuna Plantation is indeed a special place that evokes memories of Old Hawaii during the early plantation days. The ONLY beachfront condominium resort in Poipu, its 35-acre grounds features expansive landscaped lawns with mature palm, banyan and plumeria trees. The lush tropical gardens include fragrant flowers, lily and koi ponds, a world-class orchid garden, a picturesque lagoon, and low-density bungalow-style vacation condos.

A short walk through the beautiful grounds or the historic Moir Gardens directly below our condo, and you'll be right at the beach! The warm, turquoise water and crescent-shaped beach is protected by a reef. The white sand of our beach is great for lounging, and the blue crystal water is ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and surfing. The South Shores area of Kauai also includes several other great beaches within a few minutes' drive.

OUR KIAHUNA CONDO AMENITIES (Unit #326 / Bldg 39)
Our condo has been tastefully remodeled. Upgrades include new kitchen cabinets, stainless appliances, granite counters, two flat screens TVs, modern furniture, and great lanai furniture. We also upgraded the bathroom to include a new vanity with granite top, and replaced the original tub with an attractive walk-in shower with slate tile and heavy glass doors.

While more than 50% of the condos at the Kiahuna Plantation are breeze cooled, ours is one of the minority that has A/C! The furnished 240 square foot lanai looks directly over the famous Moir Gardens. There's also a convenient double BBQ island right next to our building, so cook your dinner and walk down to the beach or enjoy dinner on the lanai. Our condo offers great privacy, free Wi-Fi, free parking, in-room safe, no resort fees, and is smoke-free.

KIAHUNA PLANTATION AMENITIES
The Kiahuna Plantation features free parking, a convenient Laundromat, and beach-side activity center where you can get complimentary chairs, or rent snorkeling gear, boogie board and surfboards. However, the resort's greatest asset is its stunningly gorgeous grounds. Approaching the beach you'll encounter the "Great Lawn", which is an expansive grassy area with mature coconut trees swaying in the breeze. Take off your shoes and you'll think you're on carpeting!

OUR CONDO’S LOCATION IN THE COMPLEX
Our condo is located in Bldg. 39 on the second floor (9 easy steps up) and overlooks the historic Moir Gardens from the lanai. With the beautiful gardens behind our building rather than buildings, the condo offers complete privacy. It is considered a 'Garden View Deluxe' unit, as it does not have a direct view of the ocean, but is closer to the beach than the 'Garden View' units. (It does have a small view of the ocean.) Take one of the myriads of paths leading through the grounds, and you'll be on the Great Lawn or the beach in 4 or 5 minutes!

The Poipu Shopping Village is an easy stroll across Poipu Road and features several restaurants including Keoki’s Paradise (our favorite!) that features an open-air setting with a lagoon, tiki torches and indoor water features! The village also features a number of casual eateries such as Puka Dog, Island Taco, Poipu Rock N' Roll Sushi, Papalini Gelato, and more. You'll also find a Starbucks, a small grocery store, and many shops for gifts, art, travel, and clothing.

------------------------------------------------
FAQs - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT'S THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS CONDO?
Value! We offer great rates, but our condo is far from a basic condo. It has been tastefully remodeled and is one of a minority of Kiahuna Plantation condos with A/C. It's also a short walk to the beach; and Starbucks, shops, and restaurants at the nearby Poipu Shopping Village. Our condo also provides privacy and amazing views of the Moir Gardens with a distant view of the ocean.

DOES IT HAVE A VIEW OF THE OCEAN?
No. Actually, it has a partial view of the ocean and it's close enough to hear the surf in the evening. It has amazing views of the famous Moir Gardens directly below the lanai.

HOW FAR IS IT TO THE BEACH?
Access to the Kiahuna beach is a pleasant 4-to-5-minute walk through the beautiful grounds. The grounds are so expansive (35 acres) that you may be tempted to try a different path each time!

DOES THE CONDO HAVE AIR CONDITIONING?
Yes, our condo is one of a minority of Kiahuna condos with A/C!

ARE WE REQUIRED TO PAY EXTRA HOUSEKEEPING FEES AT CHECK-IN?
No. The cleaning fee is already paid at the time you book the condo online and includes services based on your length of stay. Even so, you can order extra housekeeping services when you check in with Outrigger Resorts or at any time during your stay.

DOES THE CONDO INCLUDE USE OF THE POOL & FITNESS CENTER?
Yes. All Kiahuna Plantation condos include free membership for our guests at the Poipu Beach Athletic Center (PBAC) across the street. Reference www.PoipuClub.com for details.

MY RETURN FLIGHT LEAVES LATE. CAN I GET A LATE CHECK-OUT?
Housekeeping needs time to clean the condo for the next guests, so a late check-out is not possible if new guests are checking in the day you leave. However, we have a great solution! The Poipu Athletic Center across the street offers a Departure Pass for $50 for 2 persons + $10 per extra person. Enjoy your last day by leaving your bags with them until they close. Enjoy the pool or any activities around the island during the day, returning later to shower and clean up prior to your flight home.

WHAT FLOOR IS THE CONDO ON?
Our condo is on the second floor of Building 39. However, since the first floor is below the parking level, there are only 9 steps to climb!

HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN THE CONDO ACCOMMODATE?
Fire code limits occupancy to 4 persons, adults or children. However, for the comfort of my guests, I restrict it to a maximum of 2 adults and 2 children. The condo is ideally suited for a couple since there's a King size bed in the bedroom. However, the living room has a Queen size pullout sofa-sleeper that works great for kids.

DO YOU OFFER DISCOUNTS FOR LONGER STAYS?
Sometimes for stays longer than 2 weeks depending on the season. Please contact me.

WILL YOU OFFER A DISCOUNT FOR LAST MINUTE RESERVATIONS?
Sometimes, if we have open days that risk not getting booked. However, as the check-in date nears, I generally proactively discount the rates, so the discount may already be in place, and a further discount may not be possible.

CAN YOU HEAR ROAD NOISE FROM THE CONDO?
About 25% of the buildings that house the condos are located at the back of the resort along Poipu Road, including ours. Closing the shutters helps drown the noise out somewhat, as does the A/C fan. You can hear cars out on the road but (in my opinion) it's not overly bothersome. With that being said, if you're a very light sleeper you may want to consider a condo closer to the beach. However, they are typically priced quite a bit higher.

WE HEAR THAT THESE CONDOS ARE OLD. HAS YOURS BEEN UPDATED?
Entering some of these condos is like going through a time warp to 1980, as some are still near original! Ours has been extensively remodeled.

WHY DO THE RATES KEEP GOING UP?
The rates have been going up exclusively due to the fact that our costs keep going up. The most egregious of these increases is the property taxes for 2023/2024, which just went up 42% on this condo over the previous year! The property taxes for 2025/2026 just went up another $1000! The association dues, utilities, the leasehold rate, maintenance rates, and insurance rates have also been on the rise.

WHAT’S UP WITH ALL THE “LODGING TAXES”?
Hawaii has the highest lodging taxes in the country – and they’ve gone up in recent years even higher! There are three separate taxes that visitors to Kauai must pay. First, the state charges Transient Accommodation Taxes (TAT) of 11% as well as 4.712% General Excise Tax (GET), which is a sales tax on all products and services. The county of Kauai also charges its own 3% Transient Accommodation Tax (KTAT). While taxes are a necessary issue, Hawaii seems to rely heavily on tax revenue. The high taxes are also meant to help address the issue of “over-tourism” on Hawaii.

We loved everything about this place—beautifully 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 :)

A Kiahuna Gem!

We come to Kauai as a family 1-2x a year and have stayed at the Kiahuna a fair amount of times. Rick & Marilyn’s condo is by far one of the best we’ve stayed in! It was clean, well maintained and convenient. The A/C was amazing on hot nights! If you’re a Kauai regular, you know how spectacular the beach is and it’s well worth it to stay on the property to not deal with parking lol! We booked this trip super last minute since we weren’t sure our schedule would allow it and the owners were so gracious and amazing. They didn’t use it as an excuse to nickel and dime us (which has happened to us in the past) and it really speaks a lot about them. Not only as property owners but as human beings. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Rick & Marilyn!!

Kauai 2024

We have been to Kauai a number of times and generally stay at the Kiahuna Plantation Resort. We like to stay on the south side of the island, particularly in February because weather (in our opinion) is better than it is on the north side. We like to spend time at the beach and the beach at the Kiahuna is excellent. The unit worked perfectly for us and was as advertised. Anytime we had a question Rick contacted us immediately with an answer. The staff at the resort are friendly, polite, and very helpful. Our flight was delayed and with one call to the resort we had instructions on how to get into the unit after hours and were able to get in with no problems. As a side note, if you have a late flight when leaving I would recommend checking into the Departure Pass offered by the Poipu Athletic Club across the street. They will store your luggage, and you get access to the showers and a secure locker for the day so you can enjoy the beach, pool, or other activities and get cleaned up before you leave. $50.00 for two people is well worth it. We would highly recommend Rick, this unit, and the resort.

Perfect Kauai Getaway with a Few Minor Issues

Our stay at this condo in Kauai was incredible. Check-in was seamless, and the air conditioning was a lifesaver given the island’s humid weather – it was wonderful to come back to a cool, comfortable space each day. The location was ideal, just a short walk to shopping, restaurants, and a beautiful beach through lush botanical gardens. We found ourselves visiting the beach multiple times daily, enjoying the amazing sunsets, gentle waves, and watching surfers. Despite exploring other beaches around the island, including the famous Hanalei Beach, our condo's beach quickly became our favorite. The beach was very clean, with free chairs available, and you could rent a large umbrella for $10 a day or $30 for the week, which was absolutely worth it. The kitchen was fully stocked, making it easy to prepare meals whenever we wanted. A couple of things could have been better. The bed was not very comfortable, and we ended up buying a mattress topper, which we left in hopes that future guests can benefit from it. Also, the on-site laundromat was closed for renovations, which we were informed of ten days before our visit. The nearest laundromat was actually a 22-minute drive away – not exactly convenient. All in all, we were extremely happy with our stay despite these small inconveniences and would still highly recommend this condo for its comfort, amenities, and fantastic beach access.

Privacy and seclusion in Paradise

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.

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 weren’t 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 doesn’t look great.Kitchen is stocked with only the very basics- and it’s 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, you’re 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!

Gorgeous property, average unit

The property itself is gorgeous and meticulously well-kept. Short walks to shopping, the beach, and the pool. I would stay at the plantation again, but likely not this unit. While it is pretty, there was a constant squeal on the toilet. When you walk in, it unfortunately feels like a cheap hotel. The living room and kitchen, however, were great. We had breakfast and coffee on the lanai every morning and there IS TECHNICALLY an ocean view. It was really nice. We have been afforded in staying in owner owned properties in the past and thought this would be the same, but it is not. The unit was missing things like aluminum foil or sandwich bags, but unsure if that is covid related or the management company. I feel like the management company takes the “home away from home” feel to these units. There are no soft sheets and towels, just scratchy, over-laundered, cheap hotel linens and towels. The bed isn’t overly comfortable, but it’s not terrible. Was it affordable and did it do the job? Yes, absolutely so. We are not unsatisfied with the stay. But compared to other places we have stayed and the destination, we just thought there would be a bit more personalization, but again, is likely the management company and leftover covid restrictions.

Fantastic Stay

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.

It’s a nice quiet unit, overlooking the gardens - so if you want privacy it’s a good location. Just a 5 min walk to the beach. It’s 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 pans…..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!
