Our unit 10 is located on the ground level of a two story building, ocean front in building 3. The condo has been recently renovated by one of the islands premier interior decorators. From the kitchen and living room it looks directly out over the ocean where you can enjoy the gorgeous views.

Why Brooke Richardson chose South Shore
Our unit is one of the only few in the development to be so close to the sand. We were drawn to the ground floor unit as we feel there is seamless access to the ocean and wonderful lawn area.

Guestbook comments from the owner
Thanks so much for sharing your condo with us. We had a great, great time on Kauai!!! We love the location of your condo and we met some great people in the surrounding units too. I surfed everyday with my sons and watched the son rise and set with my wife each day. We saw tons of whales, just from the shore everyday. We heard this is the most that has been seen in the last 30-40 years!!
Thanks again. It was great working with you.

Reviews
Exceptional!

This unit is great!
This was our first stay at the Kiahuna Plantation. Unit 10 was excellent in every way. The unit itself was nice and well stocked. Plenty of cooking utensils, pans and dishes. The BBQ is practically in your yard. Speaking of yard, it could not have been better. Perfect location - grass leading right up yo the beach. Easiest access back and forth from the beach. Outdoor shower located between the beach and the unit. Kids had a blast running around on the lawn. Really highly recommend this particular ground floor unit. Hope to stay again next year!
Beautiful vacation!
We found the property with very little trouble, and the ladies at the check in desk were very nice and thorough. The condo was gorgeous, and I immediately saw the special artistic touches done by my artist sister and co-owner of this property . The bed was super nice, and my husband who is normally a hard as a rock mattress guy has been won over so now we have a softer bed at home! The kitchen was superbly outfitted, though I figure a new microwave is in store, and perhaps a new washer/dryer up the road. But the fantastic breeze through the condo with the lanai doors open was so wonderful, it was truly a delight! We consider Kauai our very special tropical vacation spot, and this trip was perhaps our favorite of all the times we have been here. Thanks so much for providing the very classy property you have there at Kianhuna Plantation. I know my sister and brother in law have enjoyed your facility for many many years. Keep up the great work!
What a beautiful property!
My wife and I spent 5 days at Unit #10 at Kiahuna Plantation (managed by Castle Resorts) in May, 2017. Beautiful location. Stunning. The unit itself is best suited to a couple. It's a 1-bedroom and 1-bath. More than two would require using the pull-out couch in the sitting area, and that would make for a cramped stay.
It was clean. It is easy to maintain while you are there. No A/C... so plan to keep the ceiling fans on, and while you are in the unit, keep the vents in the doors open for airflow.
The unit is (currently) furnished with everything you need, INCLUDING boogie boards, noodles, a beach umbrella. These are stowed in a closet. Easy to locate.
The real magic of this unit is the beachfront location. You are 60 feet from the beach. The mornings are just stunning. Sit out on the back patio and soak it in with a cup of coffee. Gorgeous. Use the beach. The beginner surfers are fun to watch. SWIM! The waves are cool and enjoyable. Walk the beach. Either direction. Wonderful. Walk the grounds. They are immaculately kept. Hawaii. Enjoy it.
Although the property is managed like a resort, your unit is independent. You will NOT get maid service unless you specifically call and request it. It is an additional charge, unless you are there a week, in which case you will get one mid-week towel changeover. So... plan to launder your own towels. Plan to make your own bed. Plan to clean up after yourself, just like you would at home.
Restaurants. Gelato. Decent shopping (if you just can't resist shopping). Convenience/pharmacy store(s). All are just 3-4 minutes away.
40-minute drive to Waimea Canyon. 60-minute drive to Kileuea Lighthouse. 20-minute drive to Capt. Andy's dinner cruises in Eilele.
If I were to visit Hawaii again, this is where I would want to be sure to spend a few days.
Great location. Steps from beach. Nice ground floor unit. Owners were flexible with late checkout.
Comfy bed, clean and super close to beach. We stayed with our 2 teens and had a great time on the island 🌴
Great stay.
Perfect location in a beautiful setting. My family has come to the Kiahuna Plantation 2 times now and loved every minute of our stay. This home was nicely furnished, had laundry, and was comfortable. A little small for 4 people, but well worth it.
Incredible location at Kiahuna Plantation
Our room was fairly nice, updated. With that said, for the price we paid, we were surprised to find several repairs needed like a clogged bathroom sink. The bedroom could use another dresser. The coach was tired and stained. But, it's location, location, location at Kiahuna Plantation.
Map
In our unit is a guide book for guests to use…The Ultimate Kauai Guidebook which you can also buy for your use . You can get an interactive copy on ITunes Store. Also lots of tips are in our unit guest book. Here are some of our own VERY favorite things to do and hints to make your stay perfect: I have put things in bold which you may want to book ahead in busy months (when school is out). There is a Costco near airport..hit it on your way to condo..it is a 30 minute drive home from there. There is an o.k. grocery in Koloa (Big Save). On Monday there is a darling farmers make in Koloa at 12 ..hundreds line up before noon when the gate opens. Also a farmers's market 4 - 6 p.m. at Kukui'ula shopping center in Koloa. Good fish can be had at Koloa Fish market next to Big Save . Good take out lunches.
Restaurants
We eat at home mostly because of the view but when we go out here are our favorite restaurants:
Casablanca..at Kiahuna pool..can walk, outdoors, great happy hour. lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch
Joes on the Green - at Kiahuna golf course..nice for breakfast
Keoki's- great fish, good bar, and an early bird special..lots of Hawaii atmosphere and can walk
Tortilla Republic - casual good Mexican..eat downstairs..at Kukui'ula
Pomodoro - terrific Italian, reasonable, a bit of a drive to Kalaheo but pretty drive..make reservation.
Kalaheo steak house- a locals place - old fashioned with salad bar.
Brenneki's - can walk (15 minutes) - nice view overlooking Poipu beach park - good prime rib, bar, sashimi..casual
St. Regis Hotel overlooking Hanalei Bay (Big drive there) expensive but drinks won't kill you
Beach House - near by on Lawai Rd. Have not been for years but it is a spectacular spot at sunset. Pricey, upscale
Roy's - across the street..not our favorite..noisy, over priced and waiters are slick and pushy but some people love it
Kalaheo Coffee - great meals..very casual, deli atmosphere.
Kilohana - in Lihue in an old historic house - most genteel restaurant you will ever be in. Fine for lunch. Combine with Grove Farm tour.
There are several restaurants at Kukui'ula but I have not tried them. Most are expensive and are not on the water so I'd prefer to eat at home
If you really want to do a Luau try Smith's. Hyatt and Sheraton have one too.
For drinks in special places : no. 1 is on our lawn at sunset…it's one big cocktail party and great way to meet your neighbors
or Plantation Gardens,The Hyatt, Koa Kea (next door), Beachhouse. There is a Starbucks at Marriot's next door.
Kiahuna
Swimming - Kiahuna has great swimming, boogie boarding and snorkeling. You can take surfing lessons directly in front of our unit. You can rent equipment and cokes at our beach hut..also they have free towels, beach chairs and can sell you activities/excursions/massages (BTW if you book directly with an excursion Co. you can get a discount). three boogie boards are in our closet as well a a few floaties and a beach umbrella
Be sure to use the safe in your room, lock sliding doors at night. There have been thefts..they like computers, wallet and jewels.
Superb boogie boarding for strong swimmer Poipu Beach Park has great area..also it has a perfect shallow area for babies..and picnic spot. For superb snorkeling go to the beach on Lawai road (about two miles west in front of Beach House restaurant)..you can rent equipment there also.
For a special beach where we picnic but not swim try Maha'ulepu down the road. No facilities and no people and it is GORGEOUS
Hiking
See our book or web sites. Terrific hikes on the island. The one we frequently take starts at the Hyatt down the road and goes south along the coast and golf course. Spectacular views.
Golf
We love golf on the island. Here we rank the courses:
Poipu Bay - pricey and worth it…beautiful course and spectacular views
Puakea - in Lihue..gorgeous mtn. views..reasoanable and challenging
Kauai Lagoons - beautiful in Lihue..two 18 hole courses
Wailua Muni - good value and along the ocean…one of the best muni's in the U.S.
Kukuiolono in Kalaheo, 9 holes..an old estate with beautiful views. VERY funky but what value..under $20 to play incl. cart. Be sure to buy at the 'pro shop' food for chickens on the course. Great fun for the whole family. They rent clubs too. Best teaching pro on the whole island..Pat Hunt..reasonable and superb teacher..call him…808 635- 2193 , 808 332 6452.
Tennis
Kiahuna has a great tennis program. Sign up in the pro shop and they will line up games for you. This brought us to Kiahuna in the first place. You will meet the locals as well. Brig racquets
Excursions
These are our favorites
ATV ride at Kipu Ranch..gorgeous and exciting..on a private ranch
Museum at Grove Farm - tour an original house from the 1800's and learn how the early white settlers fared
National Tropical Botanical Garden- 3 hour guided tour of garden..about 3 miles from
