The condo is very clean and modernized. The AC was a huge positive, since we are from Seattle and need an adjustment period to get used to the heat. The master bedroom bed is so comfortable (our kids were jealous!). The host was prompt with her responses and the listing is very accurate. As a bonus, all the beach chairs/umbrella/boogie boards were really nice high quality items! We were a two minute walk from the beach! We also went to the athletic club twice. The gym has good equipment and the pool is more for little kids than our teens. Would stay again 5 stars!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Rick! We are so thrilled you and your family had a five-star stay! It’s great to hear the AC was a lifesaver coming from Seattle 😄 and we’re glad the master bed was a hit (even if the kids were a little jealous!). The beach gear is one of our favorite touches, so it means a lot that you enjoyed it. A two minute walk to the beach never gets old! We hope your crew found some fun waves with the boogie boards. Come back anytime; we would welcome your family with open arms!
Mahalo,

Great location.. less than 5min walk to beach area. Lots of good places to eat nearby. Condo had extra kitchen supplies like seasonings, coffee filters, olive oil. etc..BBQ was right across the way about 50 yards. The bed was a little firm for my liking but some people. The staff was friendly and very helpful. Host was great to work with.

Mahalo for your wonderful review and for choosing to stay with us! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the location, thoughtful kitchen touches and friendly service; it means a lot to our whole team. We always want our guests to feel completely comfortable and while we know mattress preferences can vary, our housekeeping team does have mattress toppers available anytime a guest would like a little extra softness. We’re always happy to personalize each stay however we can.
We hope to welcome you back to Slice of Kiahuna Paradise soon for another relaxing visit!
The condo is in a great location, the grills are nearby but there is plenty of restaurants and shopping nearby. The Little Fish across the street is a must for coffee and breakfast items. Cabana is good for happy hour and had an island vibe. Boating on the Na’Pali is a bucket list as is the Canyon. The condo was clean and comfortable. Close to the beach. Laundry facilities were super handy with plenty of machines. We never had to wait. All went well! Aloha!

What a lovely condo in Kauai paradise. The unit is very well appointed with everything you need for a one week stay. Close to the beach (we didn’t use the pool) with fresh towels every day at the beach hut. The grounds of Kiahuna Plantation are meticulously maintained and a pleasure to walk around. Lots of great restaurants nearby and such fun watching the turtles come ashore at sunset down the road at Poipu Beach. You will love staying here!

We have stayed at Kiahuna Plantation on 7 occasions, and this unit clearly outshines them all! The recent renovation has been done impeccably, and the decor is calming and lovely. The unit has everything we needed for our stay including things for the beach, which is a short walk away. The owners were responsive and helpful. I highly recommend staying here!

Merris’s condo unit was very beautifully decorated, which added to the relaxing feel of our stay. The egg/nest chair was enjoyed by our daughters. The added amenities of boards, snorkel, cooler and chairs made it so easy to enjoy the beach right outside our property. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, and think other couples and families would love their stay here as well!!

We sure love that egg chair swing too! Thank you so much for staying with us, Chris! We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay!
Perfect location and extremely well appointed rental
Before our stay Merris sent an unbelievably thorough welcome letter about the property and the area.
When we got there we found the unit to be similarly well-prepared: The kitchen has everything you could need, there’s extra bedding, and the hosts have supplied tons of beach gear.
Given the location, the quality of the living space, and all the extras this rental comes with, I really can’t imagine a better way to visit Kauai.

We stayed in a clean, well equipped and maintained condo at Kiahuna Plantation. The facilities were manicured and beach front. Was able to rent surf boards for $10/hr and use free lawn chairs/towels. Also, we were able to walk to Po'ipu beach and beach park for swimming and snorkeling. Finally, the athletic club is a short walk with great facilities for the entire family.

Family of four with two boys (13 and 10). The property location was perfect for our family. We were able to walk to the beach to enjoy surfing and boogie boarding each day. In addition, we could walk 5-10 minutes to hit Po'ipu Beach and snorkel. We also enjoyed the athletic club and options to do when we wanted to avoid the crowds at the beach.
The condo was fantastic and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay.

Yay! I am so glad you four enjoyed your stay! Please come back on your next visit. We would be lucky to host you!
We've travelled extensively on Oahu, Maui, Hawaii, and Molokai and would say Kauai and Merris' beautiful condo in Poipu is hands-down the best slice of paradise we've experienced--neither overdeveloped like Oahu and Maui nor remote like Molokai, Kauai has the perfect blend of 5-star accommodations like the Kiahuna Plantation plus laid -back Aloha spirit. Merris' condo is beautifully nestled in a tropical garden, surrounded by fragrant flowers and rustling palm leaves and just a quick walk from one of the most beautiful beaches in Hawaii. We'll definitely be back!
Merris's condo was just as described and a beautiful remodel. It had everything we needed to both explore the island, enjoy the beach and relax. My son loved the egg chair. Merris was very responsive to all our emails and even checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. We loved being able to walk out to the beach and take advantage of the athletic club amenities. I would absolutely stay here again if we visited Kauai.

Awww!!! We are so glad you had a great stay! I agree with your son about our egg chair. It’s so relaxing. Thank you for being such fabulous guests! We hope to host you again!
We’ve enjoyed many family vacations at Kiahuna Plantation over the years, but this was our first time staying in this unit. It’s in a super location within Kiahuna, remodeled, well-appointed, and clean. We especially loved the morning sun on the lanai, the short walk to the beach, pool, or shops, the AC in the bedroom, and the in-unit beach chairs and boogie boards. The property manager was very responsive and also enabled us to check in early. We would absolutely stay here again! Wonderful trip!

About the host
Hosted by Merris Delane
A little bit about me... I went all four years of high school in Paris, France. I then attended University of San Diego. My husband of over 15 years and our 2 girls live in San Francisco. I went from pharmaceutical and medical device sales to becoming a Zumba and fitness instructor. My family and I are big into outdoor sports: tennis, hiking, biking, scuba diving (that's a sport, right?), you name it. Adventure and outdoor activities were two of the main reasons fell in love with Kauai.
We prefer to use VRBO when booking our stays. We choose listings where we feel an owner would be proud and comfortable to stay themselves. We enjoy having the comforts of our own kitchen, the travel tips provided and the incredible cost savings compared to nearby hotels. I don't want to be forced to tip Room Service for bringing me a bucket of ice, paying $6.00 for a tea bag and water or throwing away an expensive lunch because I don't have a fridge or dining room in my hotel room.
We have taken those values and more and provided them for our own guests. Our condo on the sunny shores of Kauai's famous Poipu Beach provides more than a stay. It provides an experience. We host as we would like to be hosted. We offer extensive amenities, prompt communication, honesty, a welcome packet filled with activities and recommendations throughout Kauai. We also welcome guest feedback in an effort to constantly improve. We would be honored to have you in our little slice of paradise.
Why they chose this property
My husband and I had been to Oahu and Maui prior to our first trip to Kauai in June 2018. We fell in love with the island on the first day. All of the activities, variety of sightseeing, incredible hikes and clean beaches really made an impression on us. Kauai does not feel over developed which was important to us. We like that we can fly directly from the West Coast too! We chose our condo because it is on the sunniest part of Kauai and on the best beach. Our huge draw to the property was being on the Kiahuna Plantation. It's so beautiful, convenient, filled with history, well maintained, and well appointed. We lucked out in finding our condo. My husband and I made an offer before our flight and rejoiced when we found out it was ours upon landing! It was meant to be.
What makes this property unique
