Welcome to the famed Kiahuna Plantation Resort, located on the very desirable Poipu Beach. The Kiahuna sits on 35 acres of lush, tropical gardens, with orchids and lily ponds and boasts an expansive beachfront lawn surrounded by palm trees. The beach is a short stroll from our unit, #414, and is ideal for swimming and all water activities. The Kiahuna is the only beachfront condominium full resort in Poipu.........it's the best location in the best-weather area of Kauai. Numerous guidebooks, The Travel Channel, Conde Nast, etc, rate Poipu among the top beach destinations worldwide.
Our condo is on the top floor,so sitting on the lanai you can lounge in total privacy,(no one can walk in front of you) and overlook treetops and the Partial Ocean View. (See photo). From here, enjoy the sight of blue water, sunrises and sunsets......enjoy coffee or cocktails with the ever-changing panorama of the Pacific right before you.
High ceilings, and wide sliding glass doors to the lanai contribute to an open, airy feel. The Lonely Planet Guide states that 'top floor condos are best at the Kiahuna'.

About Jack and Susan Marshall
We are a retired couple living near San Francisco. We had been looking for the perfect place with a real island feel, and found Kauai to be more tropical and picturesque than Maui or Oahu. When we saw this condominium with a partial ocean view had come on the market, we bought it right away. We vacation here ourselves, several times per year, and take pride in keeping it attractive and comfortable. We are now seeing returning visitors, so we know we're providing a desirable vacation experience.
Why Jack and Susan Marshall chose South Shore
For your special vacation, a partial ocean view is a considerable plus!

Wonderful!

Great place, would stay here again!!!
This unit is nicely situated on a stunning property. This particular place provides a nice combination of quiet, charm, and an awesome lanai (which is ESSENTIAL in Kauai). This was our second time at Kiahuna Plantation and our first time staying in this unit. It's owners, Jack and Susan, are excellent hosts and provided nice insight into the island. Kauai itself it's always gem.
Book this place before someone else does!!
Wonderful stay!
This was our first time on Kaui'i and we enjoyed our stay very much at the Kiahuna Plantation. The room itself had a small kitchen which was nice not to have to eat every meal out. There was also a closet full of beach supplies (umbrella, snorkeling gear, etc.) which was nice. Staying in the Poipu beach area was wonderful. Our room was not on the beach, but it was a short walk away. Overall we had a great experience!
Wonderful unit, wonderful location
Great trip! If I were to recommend a location on Kauai to stay this would be it- that's taking into account we have turned this island inside out. Explored hours each day, north, west, Canyon, etc. this is a great location bc on the north side of the island you get a lot of traffic. Standstill, which is fine if you're passing through but not something I would like to deal with every day. This location is close to many restaurants, shops, beautiful beaches, and the traffic is not bad at all. I noticed some other resorts have lava rocks in place of sandy beaches which would be difficult to enjoy. Kiahuna Plantation has a great sandy beach and an expansive open lawn perfect for families playing ball or sun chairs.
Positives. This unit is completely stocked, down to the little things. Some things I was pleasantly surprised with: large ice chest, large sports thermos, snorkel gear, coffee mugs, wine glasses, wine opener, good pots and pans, even a ton of hangers for the closet. Beach towels are furnished daily at the check in beach counter.
The only negative would be the island chickens. They. Are. Everywhere. They start crowing at 5:30am and stop around 7pm. This was surprising the first day or two but we quickly got used to them and their sounds- just something to be aware of. The island of Kauai is Beautiful!!! Very lush with all shades of green you could imagine. There is no air conditioning (my husband was Very worried about this) but once the trade winds picked up it was perfect. Being on the top floor helped a ton!!
Some of our highlights & Tips- we Loved catching sunsets on Salt Pond Beach. Beautiful!!! Grocery store- we got everything at Big Save but I wish we would have swung by Wal Mart right by the airport for cheaper items. My husband loves seafood and ate Poke anywhere he could. A good change up to seafood was Tortilla Republic, right by this unit. I'm told happy hour was great but we missed it and had their regular dinner menu. Great salsa, brussel sprouts and drinks. We dinned at The Beach House, which was delicious. Another beautiful sunset and great food overall. We brought our Yetti cups with us to keep our beach drinks cold, which was perfect. The beach wasn't overly crowded. We worked out at the health club facility most days. The gym & pool are across the street, actually near the unit so that was convenient.
Overall this was a great unit, great location and a great stay in Kauai. Loved every minute!
Perfect location!
We were very pleased with the location and amenities in this unit. It was about a 5 minute walk to the beach, and we were pleasantly surprised at how close we were to other resorts and the public beach area. The property is perfect, and had a very good restaurant and nice green space. The unit was also nicely furnished and well equipped. The bed was comfortable. It was nice to sit on the lanai .. very nice size and great furniture .. and see the ocean and surrounding greenery. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and would definitely book this unit again!
Great Location
We just stayed at this condo for the 2nd year in a row and plan on going back. The location of this condo on the plantation is awesome!! Private with distant but beautiful ocean view. The owners, Jack and Susan are so wonderful to work with. Don't hesitate to book this property!
Relaxation in Kauai
We had a wonderful time in Kauai. This was our first time on this island, and would definitely return. The scenery is beautiful and lush. Our condo had a great view, was centrally located, close to shopping, resteraunts and the beach. It had all the amenities a person requires being away from home. We would recommend this location to anyone staying on this island.
