About this property

Kiahuna Plantation Unit 53, Stunning View, Near Beach; AC; Free Pool, Gym

Hale Kamaluhia Poipu (Hawaiin meaning is House of Serenity at Poipu). Please feel free to check out the condo website at www.halekamaluhiapoipu.com. Kiahuna Plantation (Unit 53 in building 10) is a renovated one bedroom, one bath condo, upstairs corner unit, in a two-story plantation style building. Unit has a stunning view of the great lawn and the Twin Bridges Garden, as it is centrally located. The end, upstairs unit allows for more open louvers and great cross ventilation and is a short stroll to Kiahuna's sandy beach.

The condo comfortably sleeps four, with a king size bed and a queen size sofa bed available. The condo comes with complimentary use of the pool, fitness club and tennis courts at the Poipu Beach Athletic Club which is across the road from the complex. Kiahuna Plantation is the only condo complex in Poipu on a swimming beach; beach chairs and towels are complimentary to guests at the onsite Beach Hut.

All towels, linens and toiletries are provided to our guests. Guest services are managed by an onsite management company. The condo has air conditioning in the bedroom as well as ceiling fans and an abundance of louvered windows and doors to create cross breezes. Free wireless internet access is provided to our guests. A large flat screen television is available in the living room. Gas grills are nearby and available for our guests' use. The kitchen has a recent renovation which included stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, cabinets, sink, pots and pans. The kitchen is fully stocked should you wish to cook "at home"; there are two local supermarkets and, for those who prefer not to cook, there are many restaurants in the area. The shower was also recently renovated and has both rainforest or jet control options.

Our lanai provides a tranquil setting to dine, to have your morning coffee or to simply sit and watch the day go by or to experience the setting sun in a kaleidoscope of stunning color and splendor.

This is a remarkably peaceful place, with the manicured lawns and gardens, the stunning beach, and a true sense of the spirit of Kauai as a place for relaxation, rejuvenation, and renewal.

Excellent Poipu location

Stayed for 3 nights in April, and fortunately had some nice weather (with intermittent warm showers). The property is lovely, and the unit is well kept and spacious. The bedroom is not soundproof from the living room, but closes off conveniently. We did hear the downstairs neighbors playing music one night- didn’t mind, but something to note that the sounds carry. The beach supplies in the closet were a HUGE plus and one of the reasons for staying here. No ocean view but pretty close walk! The kids enjoyed running around the meadow/field out back,

Kiahuna Stay

The condo is perfect for a quiet place on a wonderful resort. This place is great for kids with plenty of outdoor areas for them to run around and play. The surf shack offers good options for beach necessities and snacks. Plenty of places to eat and shop within walking distance. I would definitely recommend staying here and we will too.

Fabulous!

The condo was perfect! It is very well stocked (great cookware and knives!) and in a great location, about halfway between the road and the beach. Kasey and Mike were lovey and very communicative and check in/out was a breeze even though we arrived after the Castle office had closed. Loved that the condo was on the top floor and an end unit - the breezes were great and cooled things down at night. Can’t wait to come back!

The best hosts and an amazing unit!

My wife and I vacation on Kauai regularly, and have even stayed at the Kiahuna Plantation three times. Kasey and Mike's unit was by far our favorite place so far (11 trips and counting)! The unit itself is really nicely done, and even has AC which isn't in every unit. Their view of the gardens is amazing at sunset and sunrise as well. Additionally, Kasey and Mike were incredibly responsive, proactive and kind. We think the Kiahuna is the best place to stay on the island, and this is one of the best units with two incredible hosts! We would absolutely love to return!

Nice property...

Nice property...Great balcony and high-top chairs had most all things needed. Could have used a few more wash cloths. Building 53 was right across from the dirty old maintenance buildings/shop, with trucks starting up around 5 am each morning. Clean up fee of $300 was steep for a small one bedroom and a stay of 3 nights.

Great Kauai location

We love this condo as it had everything we needed! A real bonus for us is that it had swimming noodles, boogie boards, snorkeling, equipment, small cooler, etc. all those things you can’t bring with you on a plane. It’s very close to Poipu Beach, where we saw turtles every day in the water and on the beach ! There was an excellent place for snorkelers, especially like me. The resort gave access to Poipu athletic club where there was a really nice pool and we loved eating at the very casual cabana club at the end of the day. This unit has such a beautiful expansive view, I think one of the best in resort There were rainbows almost every day. We would recommend choosing this unit.

9 days at Kauai

For our 5th stay on Kauai, it was exactly what we expected in terms of property and location. Property was perfectly cleaned, kitchen is perfect (fully furnished), bedroom, bathroom, everything was perfect. As seen on map, residence laundry is closed but zero noise from it. Excellent property bit for couple or couple+child. Beach at 100m. View from lanai is perfect for sunset. Easy to go to Lihue, or to waimea canyon/Kokee state park for hiking (what we did 5 days out of 9). We exchanged several times with Kasey, all the time helpful and fast to reply. We will come back!

Loved the proximity to the beach, on-site laundry facilities and gym across the street. The condo was very clean, organized and equipped with everything we needed for our stay and loved the use of the small cooler for our adventures away from the condo. The hosts were great to work with, especially since the unit had been sold to them after we had booked with the previous owners, making the transition easy. Mahalo and we will be back!

well equipped home away from home

the communication with the owners was excellent in making all arrangements. the suite is beautifully decorated and has everything you need and some additional niceties (wine glasses, beach chairs and umbrellas, cushions for the patio furniture, iron, blender, coffee grinder, air conditioner which hasn't been our experience in other units on this property). the unit is close to the maintenance building so there is some early morning traffic and trucks beeping when they back up delivering to the neighbouring hotel. on a more pleasant note, the bird songs in the morning are glorious.

Paradise!

This is the third unit we have stayed in at the plantation and definitely our favorite! Being a top unit, it has vaulting ceilings with a ceiling fan in each room and A/C in the bedroom. Since it is on the corner, it also has more windows than the middle units (we counted 3 more!) which provided an amazing cross-breeze. The view of the great lawn was stunning & so relaxing to listen to the birds and smell the flowers from the lanai every morning. We love that this unit is a quick an easy walk to the beach and to the athletic club! The pool, waterslide, sandy beach / wading area, fitness center, ping pong, and poolside drink & food service at the fitness center are top notch. We walked down to the beach every night for the AMAZING sunsets and even spotted some turtles surfing in the waves. The unit itself has been remodeled so nicely & had everything we needed including beach gear, kitchen tools, games, etc. The rainfall shower (which also has jets!) was a highlight. To top it all off, James and Shaun were amazing hosts. So kind, friendly, organized and responsive! We highly recommend booking through them and staying in their lovely condo. We hope to return in the future!!

About the host

Hosted by Mike & Kasey Shea

Host profile image
We have been coming to Kauai for many years; the first time one of us ventured to Kauai was in 1980 and have loved it ever since. We have both been regular visitors since 2001. We live and work in Washington State spending our free time on our boat cruising the Salish Sea, but this place has always had a special place in our hearts, for its beauty and peace.

Why they chose this property

Kauai is our favorite island and particularly the Poipu area. We have stayed in many resorts in Poipu but feel the amenities and location can't be beat. We fell in love with Kiahuna Unit 53 due to its location being on the second floor of a smaller building while also being an end unit with great ventilation. It also has an expansive view of the beautiful green lawn, Banyon tree, and twin bridges. On top of that it is only a short stroll to the beach. We are delighted to call Unit 53 ours and have decided to keep it named Hale Kamaluhia (House of Serenity) as did James and Shaun the previous owners, we feel it is quite fitting. Not too long ago, the condo had a major renovation, installing a new kitchen with brand new appliances, countertops and cooking supplies. New travertine tile shower with a shower tower providing both a rainforest or jet option. Along with the bathroom, other items such as new plantation shutters, upgraded electrical system and many other items were replaced. We welcome you to share in our joy and peace by spending some of your own time and finding your own place in this space we feel privileged to call our own.

What makes this property unique

It's a great thrill to wake up to and spend time with a view of the great lawn, to take in the splendid setting, and the twin bridge gardens, knowing full well that the beach is a mere two minutes or so away but never feeling compelled to go anywhere if sitting still and simply daydreaming works for you. Kiahuna is so well situated that you can choose from a range of options from doing nothing to heading to the beach or planning for activities like horseback riding, kayaking, surfing, or touring some of the stunning natural beauty that is Kauai (ie. Waimea Canyon comes to mind). It's the kind of place that never gets old and where each day is as new as the countless ones before: filled with beauty, with peace, and with endless possibility.
