Remodeled Condo, A/C, Short Walk to Beach, Starbucks, Shops. DISCOUNT at 1 week!

Tastefully remodeled bungalow style 1-bedroom AIR CONDITIONED condo at the popular Kiahuna Plantation, a 35-acre beachfront condo resort in the sunny South Shores area that evokes memories of Kauai’s early sugar plantation lifestyle.

Enjoy a short walk through the lush tropical grounds to one of the island's best beaches, or stroll across the road to quaint restaurants, shops, or Starbucks. The condo features a large master bedroom with King size bed, and a Queen size sofa sleeper in the living room.

In Hawaiian “Kiahuna” means “Special Place”. The Kiahuna Plantation is indeed a special place that evokes memories of Old Hawaii during the early plantation days. The ONLY beachfront condominium resort in Poipu, its 35-acre grounds features expansive landscaped lawns with mature palm, banyan and plumeria trees. The lush tropical gardens include fragrant flowers, lily and koi ponds, a world-class orchid garden, a picturesque lagoon, and low-density bungalow-style vacation condos.

A short walk through the beautiful grounds or the historic Moir Gardens directly below our condo, and you'll be right at the beach! The warm, turquoise water and crescent-shaped beach is protected by a reef. The white sand of our beach is great for lounging, and the blue crystal water is ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and surfing. The South Shores area of Kauai also includes several other great beaches within a few minutes drive.

OUR KIAHUNA CONDO AMENITIES (Unit #326 / Bldg 39)
Our condo has been tastefully remodeled. Upgrades include new kitchen cabinets, stainless appliances, granite counters, two flat screens TVs, modern furniture, and great lanai furniture. We also upgraded the bathroom to include a new vanity with granite top, and replaced the original tub with an attractive walk-in shower with slate tile and heavy glass doors.

While more than 50% of the condos at the Kiahuna Plantation are breeze cooled, ours is one of the minority that has A/C! The furnished 240 square foot lanai looks directly over the famous Moir Gardens. There's also a convenient double BBQ island right next to our building, so cook your dinner and walk down to the beach or enjoy dinner on the lanai. Our condo offers great privacy, free Wi-Fi, free parking, in-room safe, no resort fees, and is smoke-free.

KIAHUNA PLANTATION AMENITIES
The Kiahuna Plantation features free parking, a convenient Laundromat, and beach-side activity center where you can get complimentary chairs, or rent snorkeling gear, boogie board and surfboards. However, the resort's greatest asset is its stunningly gorgeous grounds. Approaching the beach you'll encounter the "Great Lawn", which is an expansive grassy area with mature coconut trees swaying in the breeze. Take off your shoes and you'll think you're on carpeting!

OUR CONDO’S LOCATION IN THE COMPLEX
Our condo is located in Bldg. 39 on the second floor (9 easy steps up), and overlooks the historic Moir Gardens from the lanai. With the beautiful gardens behind our building rather than buildings, the condo offers complete privacy. It is considered a 'Garden View Deluxe' unit, as it does not have a direct view of the ocean, but is closer to the beach than the 'Garden View' units. (It does have a small view of the ocean.) Take one of the myriad of paths leading through the grounds, and you'll be on the Great Lawn or the beach in 4 or 5 minutes!

The Poipu Shopping Village is an easy stroll across Poipu Road and features several restaurants including Keoki’s Paradise (our favorite!) that features an open-air setting with a lagoon, tiki torches and indoor water features! The village also features a number of casual eateries such as Puka Dog, Island Taco, Poipu Rock N' Roll Sushi, Papalini Gelato, and more. You'll also find a Starbucks, a small grocery store, and many shops for gifts, art, travel, and clothing.

FAQs - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT'S THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS CONDO?
Value! We offer great rates, but our condo is far from a basic condo. It has been tastefully remodeled and is one of a minority of Kiahuna Plantation condos with A/C. It's also walking distance to the beach, Starbucks, shops, restaurants at the nearby Poipu Shopping Village. It also provides privacy and amazing views of the Moir Gardens with a distant view of the ocean.

DOES IT HAVE A VIEW OF THE OCEAN?
No. Actually, it has a partial view of the ocean and it's close enough to hear the surf in the evening. It has amazing views of the famous Moir Gardens directly below the lanai.

HOW FAR IS IT TO THE BEACH?
Access to the Kiahuna beach is a pleasant 4 to 5 minute walk through the beautiful grounds. The grounds are so expansive (35 acres) that you may be tempted to try a different path each time!

DOES THE CONDO HAVE AIR CONDITIONING?
Yes, our condo is one of a minority of Kiahuna condos with A/C!

ARE WE REQUIRED TO PAY EXTRA HOUSEKEEPING FEES AT CHECK-IN?
No. The cleaning fee is already paid at the time you book the condo online and includes services based on your length of stay. Even so, you can order extra housekeeping services when you check in with Outrigger Resorts or any time during your stay.

DOES THE CONDO INCLUDE USE OF THE POOL & FITNESS CENTER?
Yes. All Kiahuna Plantation condos include free membership for our guests at the Poipu Beach Athletic Center (PBAC) across the street. Reference www.PoipuClub.com for details.

MY RETURN FLIGHT LEAVES LATE. CAN I GET A LATE CHECK-OUT?
Housekeeping needs time to clean the condo for the next guests, so a late check-out is not possible if new guests are checking in the day you leave. However, we have a great solution! The Poipu Athletic Center across the street offers a Departure Pass for $50 for 2 persons + $10 per extra person. Enjoy your last day by leaving your bags with them until they close. Enjoy the pool or any activities around the island during the day, returning later to shower and clean up prior to your flight home.

WHAT FLOOR IS THE CONDO ON?
Our condo is on the second floor of Building 39. However, since the first floor is below the parking level, there are only 9 steps to climb!

HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN THE CONDO ACCOMMODATE?
Fire code limits occupancy to 4 persons, adults or children. However, for the comfort of my guests, I restrict it to a maximum of 2 adults and 2 children. The condo is ideally suited for a couple since there's a King size bed in the bedroom. However, the living room has a Queen size pullout sofa-sleeper that works great for kids.

DO YOU OFFER DISCOUNTS FOR LONGER STAYS?
Sometimes for stays longer than 2 weeks depending on the season. Please contact me.

WILL YOU OFFER A DISCOUNT FOR LAST MINUTE RESERVATIONS?
Sometimes, if we have open days that risk not getting booked. However, as the check-in date nears I generally proactively discount the rates, so the discount may already be in place and a further discount may not be possible.

CAN YOU HEAR ROAD NOISE FROM THE CONDO?
About 25% of the buildings that house the condos are located at the back of the resort along Poipu Road, including ours. Closing the shutters helps drown the noise out somewhat, as does the A/C fan. You can hear cars out on the road but (in my opinion) it's not overly bothersome. With that being said, if you're a very light sleeper you may want to consider a condo closer to the beach. However, they are typically priced quite a bit higher.

WE HEAR THAT THESE CONDOS ARE OLD. HAS YOURS BEEN UPDATED?
Entering some of these condos is like going through a time warp to 1980, as some are still near original! Ours has been extensively remodeled.

WHY DO THE RATES KEEP GOING UP?
The rates have been going up exclusively due to the fact that our costs keep going up. The most egregious of these increases is the property taxes for 2023/2024, which just went up 42% on this condo over the previous year! The property taxes for 2025/2026 just went up another $1000! The association dues, utilities, the leasehold rate, maintenance rates, and insurance rates have also been on the rise.

WHAT’S UP WITH ALL THE “LODGING TAXES”?
Hawaii has the highest lodging taxes in the country – and they’ve recently gone up even higher! There are in fact three separate taxes that visitors to Kauai must pay. First, the state charges Transient Accommodation Taxes (TAT) of 10.25% as well as 4.712% General Excise Tax (GET), which is a sales tax on all products and services. The county of Kauai also charges its own 3% Transient Accommodation Tax (KTAT). While taxes are a necessary issue, Hawaii seems to rely heavily on tax revenue. The high taxes are also meant to help address the issue of “over-tourism” on Hawaii.
