My husband and I stayed at Kiahuna 197 for our honeymoon over New Year’s and couldn’t have been happier with the property! First off, let me just say, the views are even more stunning in real life than they are in the pictures. You really have just a short little fence separating you from the sandy beach and expansive ocean. You walk about 100 feet and you’re at the beach entrance, and you get to see sunsets every night! You’re a quick walk from the point where turtles come to rest every evening and seals come to rest everyday, and the sunrise is viewable there, too.
The property itself was also amazing! The bed was super comfortable, and the bathroom area and bedroom doors close off so there’s lots of privacy. The kitchen is extremely well-appointed, with pretty much all the utensils, tools, and flatware you’d need. We ended up cooking several times! You can also use the grill in the courtyard areas around the condo. There are comfy chairs and a sofa (pull-out!) in the living room, plus a smart TV. There’s a TV with a DVD player in the bedroom. The patio a table and chairs plus two reclining lounge chairs, and there’s a nice dining room table in the unit.
We also ended up walking across the street to utilize the pool and hot tub at Poipu Athletic Club several times! We were a little confused at first about where to actually go and how to get there, but once we figured out it was super easy and hassle-free.
The concierge was available by text and always helpful and responsive!
We had a pretty magical time and are so grateful we found this unit at Kiahuna! It was the PERFECT spot for us to get to hikes at Waimea and Koke’e or up to Hanalei to check out the north shore. We will DEFINITELY be staying here again, maybe with our kids next time! Thank you for your hospitality and hosting us!
