This is the view that you wake up to every morning. Lush grass, beautiful surf.
You'll spend most of your time on the lanai. Gorgeous views of the ocean.
Dine outside if you like. The weather is as close to perfect as possible.
Handy "lanai sail" provides shade in the afternoon.

About this property

Lovely Ocean View Second Floor End Unit, Great Views, Tennis Club Included

Discover the serene beauty of Kauai's South Shore from Unit 25, a charming retreat at Kiahuna Plantation. Our family has cherished this special property for over 40 years, drawn by its classic "Old Hawaii" atmosphere and unparalleled location. We've thoughtfully remodeled it to enhance comfort while preserving the signature redwood trim.

Here’s what makes Unit 25 stand out:
Prime Location & Views
Stunning Ocean Views: Gaze upon panoramic whitewater views of the surf and ocean from the second-floor lanai.
Enhanced Privacy: Enjoy more seclusion than ground-floor units provide.
Natural Cooling: As an end unit, trade winds provide effortless, year-round cross-ventilation, eliminating the need for A/C.
Shaded Deck: An ancient rainbow tree naturally shades the front deck, creating a comfortable, cool space to relax all day.
Beach Proximity: Stroll through lush, picturesque grounds directly to the aqua-blue ocean and beach.

Comfort & Amenities
Fully Stocked for Fun: Our unique guest closet provides beach umbrellas, snorkeling equipment, tennis rackets, bocce ball, frisbees, and other entertainment gear.
Poipu Beach Athletic Club: Receive a complimentary membership, including access to a kid-friendly pool with a water slide, tennis courts, and a state-of-the-art fitness center. The Cabaña Grill is available for casual dining without reservations.

Dining Options: Walk to nearby restaurants like Keoki's Paradise and Bubba's Burgers, or drive a short distance to acclaimed spots like Eating House 1849 and Merriman’s at the Kukui'ula shopping center.

Area Highlights & Activities
Kauai offers a slower pace, unsurpassed beauty, and endless adventure.

Nearby Activities:
Surfing lessons and gentle ocean swimming.
Scuba rentals, horseback riding, ziplining, and kayaking.
Zodiac rides to the normally inaccessible Na Pali Coast.
Hiking the Nā Pali Coast or around the 4,000' summit of the island.

Must-See Island Destinations:
Kokee State Park (above Waimea Canyon)
Waimea Canyon and Falls
Spouting Horn
Hanalei Bay
Various Farmer's Markets
Unit 25 offers a peaceful, well-equipped base for your unforgettable island stay.

Good to Know:
Ocean View vs. Ocean Front: Our unit is classified as Ocean View, offering excellent whitewater views. Be sure to compare unit levels ("apples to apples") when looking at prices; lower-priced units may not offer an ocean view at all.
Cleaning Fee: There is a standard cleaning charge (approx. $310 including taxes in 2024), payable to Castle Resorts upon departure. This is the only extra charge besides state and local taxes.

Beautiful beachfront property, with plenty of walkable amenities nearby. The condo was comfortable, well equipped and the ocean view from the lanai was perfect. Property staff was friendly and helpful and the garden surroundings felt like the old Hawaiian style that I was looking for.

We have stayed at the Kiahuna Plantation in other units before. This was the best with a great location and a beautiful view. It was very comfortable and we had everything we needed. The owner was very helpful communicating before our stay which was nice. We’d definitely recommend staying here!

Beautiful view from this place.

Photos provided by host are accurate. Place is as described with plenty of beach toys and equipment in activity closet. Kauai is a beautiful island that is less developed but enough to entertain the kids. The beach view is great from the living room and balancing. Beach is right there and kids loved it. Didn’t need to use the pool at the club because the beach was perfect each day, even on a partial rainy day. Host was very informative and communicative. Happy with our stay.

Lovely anniversary getaway

Overall we loved the property, the view and the beach. Check in was a breeze, the bed was comfortable and location was wonderful. The place is on the older side and could use freshening up but it’s classic Kauai and a tropical island so we enjoyed the comfort and the view and did not mind that it was a little outdated. Overall we were very happy and it met our expectations. Worth booking!

Amazing Aloha Condo!

This is the best condo we have stayed at in kiahuna so far. (4 in total.)While it is not as modern as some of the other newly renovated ones, it has that true Hawaiian vibe throughout from artwork to furniture. Fully stocked kitchen with everything you need! Comfy bed too. The view of the ocean is all you see as you walk through the front door and the short walk to the beach is great. It gave us the best aloha feel and we will always book this condo from now on.

Our plane was delayed overnight; between host Chuck and the office check in was very smooth. Appreciate their kindness and support. The view is extraordinary. Sipping your morning coffee on the Lanai while taking in the view was irreplaceable. Activity closet suited our needs. Some comments relate to the unit being a bit aged. Not a concern for us. Love the "private staircase" to this unit; allowed us to feel comfortable letting the breeze blow from the open front door to Lanai in the August heat of the day. Our relatives were in Bldg 4. - a quick walk across the lawn. The only upkeep suggestion: The twenty somethings that slept in the sofa bed recommend a new mattress. Aside from that, we will return to this unit. Mahalo!

About the host

Hosted by Chuck Hawley

Host profile image
Our family "discovered" Kiahuna around 1975, so we've all been coming here for over 40 years. Our father was the President of the Board of Directors of Phase I, Kiahuna back in the 80's and we have had family members on the board for ten years. We consider the unit as a second home and try to afford our guests with the opportunities to do some of the things we like best like snorkeling (snorkel equipment available to guests at no extra charge), bocce ball on the lawn, Frisbee, etc.

Our beach house at Kiahuna continues to be a family affair. My brother Thomas and sister Kate regularly visit with their families, and all of our children love visiting. The family also has rental properties in Santa Cruz, California, and Dominical, Costa Rica.

Why they chose this property

Kiahuna Plantation has a different feeling from so many Hawaiian developments. It's low density, with lush gardens and buildings with traditional styling. It's decidedly un-touristy, while being being very convenient for tourists and owners.
Our particular unit has a virtually uninterrupted view of the ocean and lawn and palm trees. We like the privacy of the second floor, and we enjoy the natural ventilation that occurs due to our 'end unit' location.

One thing that we love about Kiahuna is that the property is immaculately maintained with native plants. The grass is groomed, the plants appear to be from a botanical garden, and yet it's low-key.

What makes this property unique

1. Whitewater ocean view
2. Upstairs--affording better views and privacy
3. End unit with screened louvered windows facing the prevailing trade winds
4. Fully stocked guest closet containing tennis rackets, golf clubs, bocce ball, snorkel equipment and other family entertainments.
