Kiahuna 163 = Amazing Vacation . . . Dec 2022 Remodel, Upper End Unit with A/C

*** FULL REMODEL COMPLETED DECEMBER 2022 ***

*** Bookings include ALL interim cleanings and final check-out fees ***

*** Quote reflects total rental cost - there are no hidden fees ***

Kiahuna 163 has a fantastic ocean view of the waves breaking against the beach, which is just steps away. We just (Dec 2022) completed a full, complete remodel . . . air conditioning added, all new furniture, all new flooring and tile, all new appliances, all new mahogany doors & trim, all new kitchen and bathroom cabinets. Besides being completely remodeled, let me tell you what makes our unit special, and then more about the property itself.

Location matters!!! With ~330 condos at Kiahuna Plantation Resort, some units are located on the beach . . . the ocean is right there but it can also be crowded which cuts into your privacy. Then some units are away from the beach next to the road where you'll definitely hear cars driving by . . . and some will find this too noisy. Our unit, is located about 200 feet from the ocean in the heart of Kiahuna Plantation Resort. This part of the resort is always in high demand, because the units are quiet, close to the beach with an ocean view but still affordable.

Our specific unit is a second-floor, end-unit, which means there are more windows to leave open and enjoy the breeze . . . and you don't have to worry about closing every window when you want to go to the beach (which you'll have to do with bottom floor units) . . . just leave and the condo remains nice and pleasant while you're gone. For days when you’d like a little bit more than a breeze, turn on the air conditioning in the living room or the bedroom. Our unit is a one-bedroom non-smoking condo that sleeps 2 adults and 2 children and is fully outfitted for all your needs.

The condition of your unit matters too!!! Kiahuna Plantation Resort was built more than 40 years ago across 35 acres, and while the resort grounds are beautiful . . . many individual units have been minimally updated over the years, and it shows as soon as you walk in. To that end, we just completely remodeled our unit in December 2022. We opened up the kitchen area . . . we not only modernized it with new cabinets, counters and appliances, but we also wanted to brighten up the unit and open up the kitchen to allow those in the kitchen to feel connected to those in the living and dining room. We also re-designed the bathroom so now there’s a large walk-in shower to rinse off after your stay at the beach. All new furniture . . . nothing was spared to ensure the beauty of Kiahuna Resort was matched inside our unit as well. Lastly, you’re vacationing in a tropical paradise . . . so we took care to make sure the unit and its furnishings feel like you’re staying on a tropical resort and not some sterile hotel room.

Kiahuna Plantation Resort was developed more than 40 years ago when there were virtually no vacation properties on the sunny south side of Kauai. The property is located on Poipu Beach, which the Travel Channel called one of the best 10 beaches in the world . . . for three straight years. The resort was designed to have the laid-back feel of an old tropical resort, with all low-rise buildings which are spread out across 35 acres of grounds.

The Poipu Beach Athletic Club (PBAC) is just across the road, and our guests have full access to the pool, workout room and tennis courts.

Please look over our pictures to get a sense of our unit, Kiahuna and Kauai. If you’d like to stay in our unit, please check the calendar and if the dates are available, we’d love to have you stay.

Mahalo,

Lovely unit in perfect location
Title says it all. Wonderfully redone unit with very nice use of the space. (Perfect for two; we would have found it tight for more.) The location is terrific; very walkable to the Sheraton property nearby with great restaurant/bar area, and the shopping center across the street. Bed is very comfortable and the kitchen is very well equipped with dishes, pots and pans etc. Parking easily available nearby. No facilities actually on the property (i.e. bell/baggage service, sundries shop, business center, fitness center) and not a great fit for working remotely, but was able to make it work for the few hours I had to do. But for a very enjoyable vacation this unit and its owners can't be beat.

Dream
I stayed at this property with my husband and 7 year old son mid March. From the moment we stepped foot onto the grounds we knew it would be hard to leave. The condo itself and views from the lanai were beautiful, even more so than the pictures convey. Everything was so clean! The condo was spotless and the grounds were perfectly manicured. My only regret was that we did not book a longer stay. We utilized the beach hut for beach towels, snorkel gear and beverages. The process was easy and convenient. There are restaurants, shops and local coffee in close walking distance. Two nights a week there is a luau at the hotel next door and we enjoyed hearing the music while we sat on the lanai and watched the stars. (Pro tip): You could even walk the beach and catch some of the show. Other good to know info: -The beach gets busier throughout the day, but it never felt over crowded. If you're an early bird (out before 9) you'll mostly have the beach to yourself. -Parking is first come first serve, but we never had an issue finding parking close to the condo. -There is so much that is walkable in the area including the turtles at Poipu beach. If you are on the fence about booking this property - this is your sign to do it! You will not regret it! I'd still be there right this moment if I could!

Beautiful remodel!
Wow! This unit has been so beautifully updated, there are not words. Kiahuna Plantation is a peaceful oasis among the busy resorts in Poipu, and this unit ranks among the best! It was very quiet, and furnishings, bedding and well-equipped kitchen made it feel cozy and comfortable. We enjoyed the many opportunities for a good daily walk, the lounge chairs on the lawn overlooking the waves, and the proximity to the shopping and restaurants right across the road. We did not get a chance to check out the pool and fitness center, but perhaps on our next visit! We would definitely rent this unit again! Owners were very responsive to any questions we had, and resort staff were all friendly and professional.

My husband and I spent 9 nights at this condo in September. The condo was updated, clean & comfortable. The pictures on the website don’t do it justice! The views of the ocean were amazing! It was very quiet & relaxing. The location was awesome! It is walking distance to restaurants & shops and a short drive to additional beaches, shops & attractions. The owner was very responsive to my emails. The staff on site were very friendly. We would definitely stay there again!

A few issues with unit
Closet doors were very difficult to open. Exhaust fan in bathroom did not work. Even with detailed instructions for the TV we never could figure out how to use it. However, the unit was very nicely furnished and clean with the exception of a little bit of mold in the shower niche. The bed was very comfortable and had a great dresser for clothing. Loved the pictures and decor. The view was beautiful. Great Lanai !! It was well equipped with beach amenities as well!! Mahalo, Ken!!! We would recommend your unit and hope to use it again ourselves!! Linda and Bob

Beautiful Property Sandy Beach
My husband and I went on a week long trip to celebrate our baby moon with our 2 year old. We had a wonderful time. The property is absolutely beautiful, the beaches are big and sandy. Best beach out the south shore in our opinion. Located close to shops, main little town and other beaches it is a great location. Condo itself is just as listed. Great view, air conditioning and fans were great, comfortable bed and nice bathroom, beautiful Garden AND Ocean view. One part that was confusing was the pool is not near the beach on property you actually have to cross the main road and go up the hill to access the pool, gym and tennis courts. There is poolside service and a little restaurant just not conveniently located. Would stay again, was a wonderful trip.

Beautiful Property
We had a great stay! The condo was beautifully updated and a great location with a beautiful ocean view from the balcony and kitchen. We met a group of family and loved the grassy area and beach-our kids took surf lessons and had an amazing time. We had a great experience-my only minor comments would be to add hooks in the condo for cloths, purses, etc and to include a designated area to hang wet swimsuits-maybe some hooks in the shower. Their was a sign to not hang wet swimsuits on the balcony but we didn't really have any other option. We used the kitchen quite a bit and the appliances were very nice-stocking the kitchen with cooking spray would be nice-we ended up buying some. The pool is a short walk away across the street and you can order food & drinks-in an ideal world the pool would be located on property but it didn't hinder our great experience at all! We would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay at this recently updated condo. Nice kitchen, bathroom, comfortable accommodations. The BBQs on the grounds were appreciated after a stop at Costco. Not right on the beach but nice view and you can hear the waves. A new coffee maker would be nice it took 23 minutes to make a pot of coffee in the morning!

Good Family condos
Partial ocean view from balcony, nice/new decor, kitchen offerings supply just okay, excellent beach location, no washer/dryer in unit communal option only. I misread that in description. There are two AC units one in bedroom and one in living room which were great to have since we were surrounded by a few families with crying babies morning, noon and early evening. I would say this unit is best for families as you are very close to other units and the sound travels easily. We kept the windows closed most of the time because of the noise traveling. Luck of the draw when you rent, not the owners fault. It was fun to watch the surfers school giving lessons.

A magical stay at Kiahuna Plantation!
We have stayed at Kiahuna many times over the years. Unit 163 is among the nicest units we’ve rented. Its location is just off the main lawn with a great view of the ocean. It’s an upstairs corner unit which feels very private because of the vegetation despite other buildings being close by. The interior and furnishings were recently refreshed in a warm and inviting current island style which uses materials and woods inspired by the natural surroundings of the island with a slight nod to historical island traditions. The unit is very well appointed including a nicely equipped kitchen. Mahalo for sharing your beautiful island home with us. We look forward to staying in this unit on future trips to Kauai.

Great Condo and Location!
We had a wonderful stay at this condo! This unit is updated beautifully with all new furniture and has a wonderful view of the beach. Here are some things about the unit/resort that we loved: - It is just a short walk to the beach which is directly in front of the resort. It is very easy to go back to the unit if needed during your beach day. -The resort was beautiful and well maintained. We received a towel card for each guest when we checked in and beach towels are available at the hut near the beach. They also rent umbrellas for $10 day/$30 week. The resort does have lounge chairs available that are on the grass area above the beach. The lounge chairs are not allowed on the beach. There are upright chairs that can be used by guests on the beach and they can be checked out at the beach hut. -The Poipu Shopping Village is directly across the street from the resort which is only about a 5-minute walk. There are a number of shops, restaurants and a general store - All appliances are new. This unit has a dishwasher which we appreciated (dish tabs were provided). There is an ice maker in the freezer which we used daily. The tap water also tasted great. -At the time of our stay, there was a closet full of beach gear. There were beach chairs, boogie boards and snorkel gear in the closet. It looked like it was all items that guest have left behind (sounds like these items are not guaranteed). We highly recommend this unit and hope that we will be able to return to Kauai!
