  Volker & Gina, Thank you so much for allowing us to spend ten wonderful days at your Kiahuna Plantation condo. We also appreciated walking in a gift basket full of delicious fruit and chocolates, very thoughtful. The condo was exactly what we expected plus some - clean, spacious and perfectly situated between the beach and pool and close walking distance to the popular Poipu Beach. Volker & Gina were great at answering any questions leading up to the trip and provided an extensive list of things to do/places to eat etc. which was helpful for first time Kauai visitors. We had a great trip and the weather cooperated on most days. Maui was our preferred Hawaii destination but after this trip we have all decided otherwise… no doubt we will be back. Thank you again for allowing us to stay at your condo, we will surely recommend your place to friends and family interested in vacationing in Kauai.

  We just spent 4 weeks at this condo. The photo's are an accurate presentation of the home. We found it to be roomy and comfortable. I thought about rating it as good because of construction noise in another unit that was being totally remodeled at the time of our stay. However, that was not the owner's fault and I think it was near completion when we left. The owners were fabulous to work with and I felt we became friends via email. They sent us a fabulous gift basket. We could not believe all of the goodies that were in it. It was HUGE. The basket came home with me. This condo at Kiahuna Plantation is the PERFECT place for a short or long term vacation. The beach is a wonderful place to read, swim, snorkel, surf, stand up paddle, whale watch, turtle watch, SUNSET watch, etc. Everyone heads to the beach to watch the sunset. If you are lucky you will get to see a "green flash". You can run, walk or hike in many different directions with many picture taking opportunities. If you scuba dive there is a great spot from shore 3 minutes down the road. Poipu Shopping Village is directly across the street with several restaurants, shops and a Starbucks. Koloa Town with two grocery stores is 2 miles away. Kukuiula Shopping Center, also with restaurants is 1/4 mile away with a great Sunshine (Farmer's) Market every Wednesday afternoon at 4 pm. There is a Costco in Lihue. Don't miss the Laysan Albatross, Red Footed Boobies and Tropic Birds at Kilauea Lighthouse, Waimea Canyon and a catamaran ride on the Na Pali coast from either the south shore or the north shore. Pick up the book Kauai Revealed for "everything" you need to know and where to go.

  Owner response: On March 12, 2012 Lynda E. inquired about renting our condo for 4 weeks in February/March 2013. I got excited because this was the 2nd. request for a 4-week stay at our 2-BR, 2-BA condo within 30 days. I already booked a family from Utah from January 14 - February 11, 2013. Now we might have another party from February 12 - March 12, 2013. But then I noticed that there were only 2 people. I felt it wasn't fair to mention that the Kiahuna Plantation (KP) also rents 1-BR, 1-BA units. After I e-mailed they could save money by choosing a 1-BR unit, I figured that would be the end of the story. Wrong! On March 13 Lynda responded : "Yes there will be 2 of us. Your listing mentioned a discount and we would like the space. We are leaving KP today. Mahalo, Lynda" On March 14 I heard from Lynda again. They just arrived home after spending 9 weeks at KP. Since I never heard of anyone, except KP homeowners, to stay that long. I called Lynda to find out more about their vacation. We really had a great conversation. It was the beginning of a friendship. Lynda mentioned that her brother-in-law and sister-in-law want to join them, so a 2-BR, 2-BA condo would be great. Lynda, Allen, Kevin & Jo Anne were wonderful guests from February 12 - March 12, 2013. They treated our 2nd. home with respect and appreciated that Gina and I invested over $30,000 for renovation/replacements in 2012/13: 1. Renovated Guest Bathroom in August 2. Renovated Master Bathroom in October 3. Re-upholstered couch and 2 chairs in the Great Room 4. Replaced drapes with Aloha Shutters in the Great Room and Master Bedroom 5. Replaced refrigerator in kitchen 6. Replaced water heater 7. Replace tile in entry and kitchen (4/13) Gina and I do our best to make all our guests welcome so they want to return, like Suzanne C. who inquired yesterday if Thanksgiving was available. That would be the 3rd. rental in 2 years. The Nairne family from Canada are spending 2 weeks from 12/21/13 - 1/4/14 at our place. In 2011 we could only give them 1 week. That's why they booked 1 year in advance to make sure nobody would get ahead of them. They liked our condo even before the renovations, but are looking forward to the upgrades. It is about a 4-5 minute walk to Poipu Beach, and about the same distance to the Tennis Courts and swimming pool. The huge monkey-pod tree facing our balcony protects guests from noises and trade winds, making it possible to stay outside until late.

  Hi Volker & Gina! Thank you both so much for allowing us to stay at your beautiful Poipu home. We had such a wonderful time. Even heeded your advice and grabbed some stuff from Costco. My brother-in-law loved the grills. As did I! Your home is beautiful. Did ziplining in Princeville and rode ATVs in Kipu. Drove up to Waimea Canyon. Amongst cruising the georgeous island and beaches. Thank you both again for sharing your home. These are memories that will last a lifetime! MAHALO! Amy, Karen, Lori and Ron.

  The condo was walking distance to the beach. Furnishings, fixtures and appliances were a little dated. A welcome gift basket was a pleasant surprise. The Beach was average. I traveled 5 out of 7 days to other beaches around the island. I would stay there again if I travel again with a large extended family. The lack of windows makes it for a noisy environment a you can hear the neighbors Wooden floors don't help if you are staing on a lower level.

  Recommended for: Pet owners.

  Owner response: It had to happen sooner or later. One of our guests was not satisfied with our condo, while ten others before him raved about it. This guest from NYC found the furniture & appliances in our 2nd. home a little dated. Even the beach, which Travel Channel rated as one of the best in Kauai, was below his expectations. For the record, Kiahuna Plantation (KP) is the only Condo Resort at Poipu that has a beach. That's what sold us in 1985. The Kiahuna Plantation Resort has been built like an old Plantation with shutters on the windows and a fan in each room so the condo is well ventilated. KP wasn't built like high-rise hotels in Honolulu, with noisy air-conditioning and freezing rooms with little privacy. Kiahuna Plantation represents the Old Hawaii...spacious units -- the buildings no higher than a palm tree -- on beautiful grounds, an abundance of flowering shrubs & trees, singing birds and a laid-back lifestyle. Four years ago we renovated our kitchen, replacing all cabinets, dish-washer, stove/oven & microwave. However, some of our renters booked by our Management Co. and even some of our guests we brought in were a little rough on the appliances & furnishings. Housekeeping had to use strong solvents to clean the stove & Microwave. Therefore, some of the numbers on the appliances are hard to read, but there is nothing wrong with the appliances. Regarding the furniture. We wanted to keep the Old Hawaiian look, which means modern furniture do not fit. However, we just bought new fabric for the couch and two rattan chairs in the living room to be re-upholstered. In addition, we signed a contract in May 2012 to renovate the 2 bathrooms. Also, the drapes on the large 12' x 8' sliding door in the living room and the 6' x 8' sliding door in the master bedroom will be replaced with off-white Plantation Shutters. If you want to spend your vacation, or a birthday, wedding, anniversary, etc. at a place that is like the Old Hawaii, our condo at the Kiahuna Plantation is right for you. Otherwise, a hotel may be the better choice. Your hosts, Volker & Gina Bauerle
