Serenity awaits - located just steps from beautiful Poipu beach with A/C!
Kiahuna Plantation Resort is all you dreamed Kauai would be, and our beautiful condominium is located in the lush gardens of this vacationer's paradise. Take in partial ocean views in the dining area and on on our very private Lanai. Our inviting beach is yours to enjoy-- just a few steps from our beautiful condo.
Our unit has been updated (Unit #168 in bldg. 26), making it a more desirable unit at Kiahuna Plantation. We have one of the most private Lanais in the resort. We also now have A/C! The bedroom features a brand new Cal king bed (April 2022). Our beautiful living room also has a new queen size pull-out mattress in the sofa. Our kitchen is fully appointed for your convenience with new appliances installed in 2026. Lounge comfortably on the private patio/lanai. Take advantage of our in-condo washer and dryer. High speed Internet and TV both in living room and bedroom. Most recently we have updated some of the decor which you will see in the pictures of the bedroom and dining areas. Our video still reflects the old decor in these two spaces but still gives you a great view and vantage point of all that our condo offers.
To make your beach time more fun, grab complimentary towels and beach chairs at the Beach Hut 'shack' near the water. A child friendly pool with slide, a gym and tennis courts are offered directly across from the resort at the Poipu Beach Athletic Club. Two golf courses, Poipu Bay and Kiahuna, are just down the road.
We are happy to provide our client references at your request. Should you find that our condo is booked during your requested dates, let us refer you to another of our partnering condos in the resort.
Kiahuna Plantation Resort is the jewel of Poipu's sunny south shore on Kauai. Nothing compares to our beautiful gardens and location. This is a fun destination for families, a romantic getaway for honeymooners, and a memorable place to celebrate special occasions.
This beautiful condo is under new ownership but has the same beautiful appointments and service you have been used to if you are a return guest.
Have a wonderful time on Kauai! Chris and Karin Cahill

This was our third stay at Plantation at Kiahuna and it didn’t disappoint. Karen has the unit set up perfectly for two with everything needed to feel like home. Great patio privacy with a full greeting by the birds each morning. Super comfortable bed and comfortable furniture for lounging and watching TV at night. We’ll be back to this one soon.

Decorated very nicely. Location very good. Kitchen had everything we needed, although more dishes would be nice. For those of us who opt out of housekeeping, a few more cleaning supplies like window cleaner would be nice. I would definitely recommend this unit. The A/C and washer/dryer were a definite plus.

Karin was a fantastic host and very responsive! The condo is nicely appointed. There were no boogie boards when we arrived and she quickly ordered some and had them delivered for us. As described, the lanai is very private and we had all of our meals out there. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking tools. The washer and dryer was a nice plus.The AC worked great in the main room but the bedroom was very warm and the shudders could not be opened at night since the bright strairwell light, right outside the condo, went right into the room, so the bedroom is quite warm. There was no way to turn off the stairwell light. We had a few issues w/Castle Resort. Josh who checked us in was smug and not welcoming. The tissue and toilet paper they provide is as low quality as it gets. I expect a resort of this level would have provided higher quality products. Upon arrival, the rental was clean but not impeccable. During our visit, Castle was doing a lot of outdoor maintenance and the gardners were very loud with their electric tools, all day long! Castle could do much better.

Beautiful condo located in close proximity to one of the most beautiful beaches. The condo has everything you might need including beach chairs, an umbrella, and a cooler. Loved being able to sit out on the lanai in the mornings and evenings and see a bit of the ocean. There is a walking trail where you can walk past the Sheraton to Kauai shops and restaurants. I snorkeled in shallow waters right on the beach and saw tons of fish. Awesome location!

My husband and I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary and Karin sent us a beautiful island bouquet of flowers and a really nice note. It was a very thoughtful touch. The location of this unit is great. It’s approximately 200 yards from the beach and the patio is very private which we enjoyed our morning coffee daily and cocktails in the evening. If you’re looking for a condo that’s well maintained, with a great location we highly recommend this unit. The only recommendation I would make is since the AC unit is located in the living room area of the condo, I would purchase a box fan for the condo so the cool air can be pulled into the bedroom. The fans that are in condo don’t pull the cool air from the living room to the bedroom. The bedroom is a little warm for sleeping.All in all we had a wonderful time!

Truly paradise!
I wish you could leave 10 stars - we had an amazing stay! The property was even more beautiful that the photos. The lanai extends to a grassy yard, perfect for our daughter to run around. The beach is maybe 50 steps away but the property feels very private. Easy to walk to and set up for the beach. They even had an umbrella, Tommy Bahama beach chairs, sand toys and coolers to use. Loved the AC and laundry in unit! A huge plus when traveling with a family. The kitchen is fully stocked and we ate most meals in. Walking distance to the pool (5-10 min depending) and was a nice to enjoy. We felt very safe at the property and walking around at night. Quick drive to shopping centers and exploring the island. We had great communication and loved our stay. Would highly recommend!
Beautiful space and well stocked with everything we needed!
The owners were easy to communicate with and very friendly.We were a family of 4 (2 adults and two kids, 8 and 10) and fit very comfortably in the space. The condo was very well stocked with everything we needed (even had two beach chairs, umbrella, cooler and sand toys). Kitchen had all appliances and utensils we needed too. Our lanai opened to a grassy space that was nice and quiet. Unit had air conditioning and a washer and dryer which are not in every condo so definitely an added bonus. They also had some guide books and summer reads too. We would highly recommend this unit and would definitely stay again.
This was the perfect property and condo for a wonderful family vacation! We will be back!
