Beautiful Ocean View/Steps to beach/Washer & Dryer in unit
There are only a select few units at Kiahuna Plantation that offer the location, convenience and a full panoramic ocean view like Kiahuna 17 beach house. We are located in building 4.
Make your next vacation a lasting memory of brilliant sunsets, manicured lawns, and sunny seashores. Don’t pack up and walk to the beach, experience the beauty of Kauai right from the comfort of your own private lanai. Read a book, sip some wine, or just lay back, relax and enjoy the rhythmic sound of the ocean. It doesn't get any better than this.
Sitting on 35 acres of manicured lawns and tropical gardens, Kiahuna delights the senses with fragrant flowers, beautiful lush plants and canopies of trees. An open ocean side lawn is perfect for outdoor games of catch or Frisbee, or lounging in the sun in one of Kiahuna’s complimentary beach chairs.
Step off the lawn to the white sand beach or into the gentle blue waters for a swim. Pick up snorkel gear at the Beach Hut to spy on the tropical fish.

Loved staying in this condo, it is so close to the beach! The ocean view from the lanai is spectacular. The condo was clean and has the best stocked kitchen we’ve ever seen. My husband I can’t wait to return!
Great stay at this condo. This was our second time and we love it there. The ocean view and sunsets are beautiful. Easy check-in and out! Property is very nice. Lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance. Great beach and beautiful grounds.
Great location and view, check-in and check-out was easy. No air con, but ceiling fan, fresh cooler air during night. Older apartment, (over-)fully equipped kitchen, but didn’t cook.
This is probably our 15th stay at Kiahuna and this unit was wonderful. Close to the beach. Quiet. Comfortable.

Great location
The property was well stocked, comfortable, close to the beach and everything we expected. We would stay there again. The owner was very responsive to our questions and needs.
We loved this property. We have stayed at multiple units and this by far was the best one yet. It was a plus to have laundry and a he bed was so comfortable. We will for sure rent from Jill again.
Best ever location/property we have stayed when visiting Kauai. Amazing views, great location, and beautiful condominium! Thank you Jill. We look forward to returning!

Mama Mia! This Unit #17 i...
Mama Mia! This Unit #17 is a gift from Heaven! I have always dreamed of staying so close to the ocean so this is my dream come true!
We've stayed at the Kiahuna many, many times and never had any issues at all. This experience was different. Unit is in a beautiful location with a beautiful view. Unfortunately, the unit was not in great working condition when we arrived, which was disappointing given the price and the amount of time we needed to invest to get it functional (carpet cleaning took an entire day, wifi took quite a bit of back and forth, etc). Now it should be in good shape for the next guest but I probably wouldn't risk the hassle next time and would choose a different unit.
The setting was beautiful. However, the accommodations could’ve used some freshening up. The lanai deck was rotted and patched in places and Not very inviting. Modem and internet were not working when we arrived. These had to be replaced. The TV nook for cable box, modem, DVD etc was unaccommodating and did not provide easy access. The lanai also could’ve greatly benefited from a hightop table and chairs because when you’re sitting at the current table or chez lounge your view of the ocean is completely blocked. (They too needed updating in general). Overall, it was nice, but as I said a little freshening would’ve made the environment more inviting. None of this is really a deal breaker, improvement would have been nice. Now ienvironment much more inviting.
Kiahuna Plantation is the perfect spot for a Kauai vacay; the beach is beautiful with good snorkeling and plenty of space on the sand. The condo is well-equipped with everything you need from a fully equipped kitchen to all the beach essentials: chairs, umbrella, boogie boards. Beach towels are available at the Beach Hut on property. The bed is very comfy. We were concerned that the condo would be a little cramped based on the pictures, but it is much more spacious than the pictures show. The bedroom has a spacious closet and there’s plenty of storage space in the kitchen. The lanai is furnished with a table and 4 chairs in addition to two loungers. Beautiful view of the ocean! The only downside to this rental is no a/c. It gets very warm in the afternoon in July; there is a ceiling fan in the living area and bedroom. The bedroom is comfortable at night with the fan over the bed; the kitchen/living space is much warmer since the condo faces west. There is always a lovely breeze so that helps.
A beautifully landscaped property has a huge lawn for games, BBQing, or just sunbathing. Kiahuna Plantation is a gem and serves as a good home-base for westward activities (Waimea Canyon, Hanapepe, etc) and northern activities (Hanalei, NaPali coast, Wailua, Kilauea, helicopter tours).

Thank you Mona, so happy you enjoyed your stay on beautiful Kauai. We hope to see you again.
This is one of two units that I had rented for the week for our extended family. My husband, adult daughter and I stayed in this unit. We found it clean and well-maintained, with pleasing modern decor. The location was perfect - views of the sunsets from the balconey, plus easy access to the lawn, beach and athletic club. The club is amazing with all that it offered for all ages! Tennis, pickleball, toddler pool, equipment room, towels, rackets, paddles - such a great amenity! Parking was never an issue in front of our unit. The bed and the pull out couch were very comfortable.The washer/dryer was super convenient for our extended family with a toddler. We appreciated that we could wash our towels mid-week.We did not lack anything in the kitchen and appreciated the supply closet of beach umbrella, chairs, even snorkeling gear.The only minor minor issue was that there were a few items, including a pill and a cracker found under the coffee table and couch that were overlooked in the previous clean up.There was no A/C as described, but that was no issue in the winter, plus there was an overhead fan in each room.The dishwasher was not working for our stay, but since we did not cook any main meals, we easily hand washed anything that we used.We had a wonderful stay and would rebook this unit again!

Perfect location for home-base - ocean view was incredible.
We had a wonderful stay and would come back! This unit was well-appointed - we did not use the TV so I can't comment on that. The lanai was ample enough to do morning yoga on - ocean sounds 24/7. We found Big Save in Kaloa to be the best place to find avocados and limes - if you didn't hit the Costco on the way in. Also, the Wednesday farmer's market in the Kukuiula shopping center (3 minutes up the road) is the BEST for local produce and fun! This unit (as I think are all the units at Kiahuna plantation) is open to the outside air - no air conditioning. But we did not mind that at all - the fans kept us cool and the bed was comfortable. The only problem during our stay was during the last few days, a large group of extremely loud people checked in the unit immediately below us. We needed to call security a few times to explain that smoking was not allowed and to complain about the noise - due to the openness of the buildings, there was no way to close out the neighbors smells and sounds. Security did what they could, but we still had to deal with the sounds of drunk people yelling at each other, "Jimmy! Bring me a church key! while trying to get our young daughter to sleep. Ugh. I hope that others who stay in this community remember that they are impacting each other and choose to honor the peaceful aloha of Kauai. We were just unlucky those last few days.
We had a wonderful time. The location is beautiful! Staff stayed after closing when we got in 1/2 hour late for check-in. We did not see any check-out instructions, but left things as we have for former rentals.
This property was in an amazing location, overlooking the Kiahuna Beach (private) and just a short walk from Poipu Beach (public). The view was great, and it was easy to walk out to the garden and get a lawn chair or even rent a beach chair to bring down to the beach. The waves on Kiahuna Beach can get big so I recommend being a decent swimmer if you want to hop in, but we felt fairly safe rolling with the waves. The property is also so close to a bunch of dining and shopping areas, so it was easy to grab a bite to eat or some groceries. I wish we had been able to stay longer and enjoy it even more!
This spot has a great beach directly in front as well as a quick walk to poipu beach. The view from the condo lanai is gorgeous! One call out, the pool is located at the health club which is a good 8-10 min walk up a hot uncovered hill. Its a great pool with nice restaurant but we ended up driving to the pool because it was such a hot walk. The condo is well appointed with dishes and a full kitchen.
This place is perfect ocean view slept hearing the braking waves perfect beach right out front for surfing bodysurfing bogie boarding snorkeling or just plain sunbathing
