Location: Kiahuna Plantation, Poipu, South Kauai, Kauai, Hawaii, USA (Kiahuna is Just 30 Minutes from Lihue and the Airport) View Map
Accommodations: Condominium, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 2-4)
Welcome to sunny Poipu Beach, centrally located on the South side of the Garden Island of Kauai between Waimea Canyon and Princeville. Our royal garden 2nd floor unit has one of the best views in our category at Kiahuna featuring peaks of the ocean and overlooking the historic Moir Cactus Garden created by Alexandra Moir in the 30's (most other garden or royal garden room views are obstructed by other Kiahuna rental units). By 1948 it had risen to the top 10 worldwide gardens in this category. Our unit (located in building 38) is an approximate 3-4 minute walk thru lush Kiahuna grounds to the beach. #308 is rated "A" by our association for interior content and features Calif. King bed (new top of line Serta mattress), queen sleeper/sofa, twin size airbed, DVD/VHS player, 2 TVs including a brand new 32' Vizio Flatscreen in the livingroom, free high speed Broadband internet connection, new shower/tub, separate vanity (new counter), full kitchen (new counter), interior dining room table, and table for 4 and 2 lounge chairs on the lanai.
The latter can be employed to view the Moir foliage and birds or enjoy the colors of a classic Kauai sunset. We have strived to create a warm casual atmosphere highlighted by pictures of Kauai and prints from local artists. Mahogany paneling and refurbished wood furniture we believe enhances our goal to the outside indoors.
We are 20 year owners and have explored many of the major Kauai hiking trails as evidenced by our photos (Kauai is without doubt boasts the most scenic and geographically diversified trails in the islands--also refer to our Google map for trail locations and descriptions). Susan and I are also avid golfers and as such intimately acquainted with every course on Kauai. Our experiences which also include snorkeling, kayaking, secluded beaches, and local eating spots are freely shared with guests.
After 20 years, we recently installed our 3rd guest book after filling the first two. Comments contained therein are exceptionally complimentary of their Kauai and #308 experience. These books also serve as a valuable reference guide for new guests.
Room rates vary between $110.00 to $140.00/night plus 12.42% tax and one time $55.00 check-out cleaning fee (see below for details--NOTE '09 SPECIAL RATES). Ask for discounts on stays exceeding 6 nights.

Map & Owner's Profile
Kiahuna Royal (Moir) Garden View - Great Prices on Poipu Beach
Year Purchased: 1989
Why the Owner Chose Kiahuna Plantation
We originally purchased the unit after visiting Kiahuna with our boys. For our family vacation destination we were seeking an island with outdoor activities with strong emphasis on boggy boarding, other beach activities, and golf. Kauai surpassed our expectations in all regards. Moreover, Kauai scenic beauty is simply incredible and moreover still remains relatively undeveloped and thus free of crowds. We never tire of exploring the numerous Waimea Canyon and Napali Coast hiking trails (Samuel Clemens described Waimea as the Grand Canyon of Hawaii) or simply reading a book on a scenic deserted beach. For a thrill of a lifetime, helicopter, zodiac raft, or even kayak the Napali Shore (we've done all but the latter).
