About this property
Kiahuna Plantation partial OceanView,top floor,4 min walk to beach, pool,gym,+AC
Welcome to the famed Kiahuna Plantation Resort, located on the very desirable Poipu Beach. The Kiahuna sits on 35 acres of lush, tropical gardens, with orchids and lily ponds and boasts an expansive beachfront lawn surrounded by palm trees. The beach is a short stroll from our unit, #414, and is ideal for swimming and all water activities. The Kiahuna is the only beachfront condominium full resort in Poipu.........it's the best location in the best-weather area of Kauai. Numerous guidebooks, The Travel Channel, Conde Nast, etc, rate Poipu among the top beach destinations worldwide.
***We are implementing Hawaii Tourism official guidelines from CDC regarding cleanliness and guest safety. All guests are entering the condo that has been thoroughly, professionally cleaned and vacant for 24 hours prior to guest arrival.
Our condo is on the top floor,so sitting on the lanai you can lounge in total privacy,(no one can walk in front of you) and overlook treetops and the Partial Ocean View. (See photo). From here, enjoy the sight of blue water, sunrises and sunsets......enjoy coffee or cocktails with the ever-changing panorama of the Pacific right before you.
High ceilings, and wide sliding glass doors to the lanai contribute to an open, airy feel. The Lonely Planet Guide states that 'top floor condos are best at the Kiahuna'.
This condo is a one bedroom (king) plus pull-out sofa bed in the living room, maximum of 4 guests. Complete and newly remodeled kitchen, tile entry. Full bath, remodeled tile shower, with separate vanity area. Please note that there are 2 flights of stairs to the top floor ( no elevators) …..but the top floor has the spectacular views! We are in building 40.
Right across the road, you will find the Athletic Club , tennis complex and swimming pool, --a three minute walk. Not all condo owners are members of this facility, but we are, so we can offer these amenities to our guests. Also on the grounds -- the well-regarded Plantation Gardens restaurant. And the highly professional, gracious management company, right on site, will issue your keys and answer all questions, helping to make your stay a joy.They are avaiable for you 24/7. There is free wi-fi, free parking, and barbecues available for guests. The condo has a DVD player, and 2 flat screen tvs. This very desirable view unit is quiet and next to open space. We welcome your questions and respond promptly.

Thank you for your 5 star review!
A big part of why guests love our condo is the ocean view, which is actually better than the photo since the open space beyond the lanai has recently been cleared. Much more ocean!
We give each guest our personal cell number, so we are easy to reach for any kind of assistance.
Hope you come back someday!!

The condo is very nice. Close to shops and a very nice restaurants … Keoki’s and also enjoyed Brenneke’s on the beach.

Thanks for your positive review! Our condo is within a short walking distance of many restaurants, plus shops, a Starbucks and the state beach.
However, most guests keep returning for the partial ocean view and the quiet…..being next to open space gives our building a great view and peaceful surroundings.
Hope you return someday
Susa and Jack!
Thanks for your positive review and we look forward to hosting you again. Our partial ocean view has recently improved ( !) due to some trimming of vegetation ….so the lanai outlook shows more of the gorgeous Pacific. New photos coming soon!

We’ve been hosts for over 10 years, and are proudest of our many repeat guests.

The ocean view from the patio was even better than it looked it in the listing. It was a lovely spot to sit and read, watch the ocean and listen to the birds. You can walk to several beaches in about 10 minutes.

Susan, the host, is very responsive and helpful. The location of the property is excellent - close to several beaches, restaurants, and stores and the view from the top-floor linai is great. The interior of the unit is relatively comfortable, but it could use some updating.

Thanks for your 5 star review! We like to know that all our efforts to provide amenities, comfort and satisfaction are noticed by guests. Everyone loves our view lanai! Having a great vista for mornings, lunch or sunset watching is why we selected this particular condo . A great view makes a great stay!

This condo has it all! The entire condo is spacious with a separate bedroom and bathroom, kitchen, eating area and living room. The view from the deck is a great partial ocean view. Very serene. The condo had all the beach tools we needed - chairs, umbrella, cooler, etc. The resort is large but quiet. It is beach side with a large grassy area for enjoying the ocean view or for children and adults to run around. We would definitely stay here again!

Thank you for your 4 star review and noting our great location and beautiful view lanai…it’s where we love to sit and just watch the blue ocean and swaying palm trees. Plus, the quiet of our location adds to the peacefulness.
The AC will definitely cool the entire condo if it is left on all day…even when guest is at the beach or out sightseeing.
Mahalo…and thank you for your booking!
Great location, friendly staff, amazing accomodation.

Thanks for taking the time to review…. We’ve had years of great 5 star reviews… including 5 stars from our many previous guests just in the last six months…. But sorry you had a different opinion.
The fitness club, facilities, and pool are right across the street… a few minutes walk…. And the Resort actively chose this location because it keeps noise away from the condos and yet is very accessible.

About the host
Hosted by Jack and Susan Marshall
We are a retired couple living near San Francisco. We had been looking for the perfect place with a real island feel, and found Kauai to be far more tropical and picturesque than any of the other islands. . When we saw this condominium with a partial ocean view had come on the market, we bought it right away. We vacation here ourselves, several times per year, and take pride in keeping it attractive and comfortable. We are now seeing returning visitors, so we know we're providing a desirable vacation experience.
Why they chose this property
For your special vacation, a partial ocean view is a considerable plus! Sitting on the lanai, dining or relaxing, we wanted guests to see the ocean, not just a garden view. And the top floor condos have high ceilings, allowing more ocean breeze and a greater feeling of spaciousness. Remodeled kitchen and bath, updated furnishings, and our constant attention to each guest’s enjoyment has given us 12 years of 4 and 5 star ratings. We’ve added AC to enhance guest comfort ( not all condos in this location have AC).
What makes this property unique
Partial ocean view! Top floor! Stroll to beach, pool, fitness, tennis, shops and restaurants. We have an on site, fully staffed front desk for check in and a dedicated maintenance staff at this resort. If you have any issues or questions, they will get addressed immediately. Plus, every guest will have my cell phone number, so getting questions or assistance is just a text away.
