About this property
- NOTE* As of December 2019 there was some coastal erosion to the front of the beachfront condos at Kiahuna. You will still be able to enjoy a breathtaking ocean front experience! Railing has been installed on the Lanai for our guests' safety. See the video for details.
The PHOTOGRAPHS of Beachhouse #5 are up-to-date as of December 2023. Mother Nature was tough on our beachfront in 2019 and 2020 but things have been much the same since then. The sand on the beach ebbs and flows on our beautiful sandy beach but the grassy beach berm is largely unchanged for the past few years.
Kiahuna Plantation Beachhouse #5 offers all of the amenities that you could desire for convenience and comfort. Golfing, shopping, swimming, snorkeling, surfing, and being pampered are the most strenuous activities on most Kiahuna Plantation visitors’ itineraries. Beachhouse #5 offers a completely different kind of “Beach Front” experience with fantastic views from your lanai of the ocean and stunning grounds; this is complete perfection!
There is a California King-size bed in the Bedroom and a Queen-size Sleeper-Sofa in the Living Room. All linens in the Bedroom and towels and toiletries in the newly remodeled Bathroom are provided. This Beachhouse also has a fully equipped and remodeled kitchen, if you choose to dine-in. With new cabinets, imported 'Blue-eye' granite countertops, and premium stainless steel appliances this Kitchen is sure to please. All Cookware and Dinnerware are provided as well. If you want to grill some fresh island fish for dinner the state-of-the-art gas barbeque is located just a few steps from our Beachhouse.
Beachhouse #5 is equipped with every amenity including Cable Flat-Screen TVs, DVD player, Bose Stereo CD, DVDs; even two (2) alarm clocks so you don’t miss your plane home.
Free WIFI with High-Speed Wireless Internet - or connect via hardwire.

Kiahuna Building #2 is often featured as Kiahuna Plantation advertisers show Building #2 in their photos but BEACHHOUSE #5 IS THE ONLY 1-BEDROOM UNIT AVAILABLE FOR DIRECT-RENTAL FROM-THE-OWNER IN BUILDING #2.

It was my dream to be "on" the beach. It overseeded my expectations. Beach house, it is. Beautiful setting, very nice green grassy area with chairs and loungers. Quiet at night, open air breezes all the time. Very comfortable, had everything you would need. I definitely would stay here again. And plan to.
Great view of the ocean. Loved the access to beaches.
When they describe the property “right on the beach” they are correct cannot get any closer unless you are in the water. The owners are wonderful people. Great spot from porch to watch surfers and sunset.
Location is everything! Sea life, surfers, sunsets. We never left except to go eat!
Wonderful unit! So close to the shore It was amazing to hear the surf with waves breaking all night long Greats hosts to this property too
Great location on a beautiful beach! Would highly recommend this place.
Amazing place
Breathtaking view, sound of ocean, and ease of beach access made this stay amazing! Best location in the entire resort. Central location for activities based in Lihue and Captain Andy’s which leaves from port on the west side. I highly recommend and was so sad to leave.
Beachfront was pretty, however all the surfers would congregate if front of th property and they were loud
Fantastic!!!!! The checking in process was very easy. The staff was friendly and answered all of our questions. The condo was clean and neat. The kitchen had all of the utensils etc that we needed. And the best part of the experience was that the beach was right outside of deck with a completely unobstructed view of the ocean!
We found it noisy due to possible low insulation and surf lesson instructions outside our lanai at 8 am. Noise from upstairs tenants was bothersome. Lanai railing was at eye level unfortunately and faced west which was hot.
We love PoiPu and always stay at the Kiahuna Plantation. It's a beautiful property with barbeques and a pool. Also close to shopping and good restaurants.
The Kiahuna Plantation did not disappoint. We have been here three times now, and it has been amazing each and every time. The location is just so amazing. Definitely will be coming back. Mahalo.
We loved staying in Kiahuna plantation!!! Right on the beach- and the grand lawn was stellar! Nice having the Sheraton next door. Conveniently located to everything! Should note that there is no AC- the breeze though greatly mitigated that- the place had such a safe, family vibe- that we left the doors open most of the time. Only recommendation is to do a cull of the kitchen ware, lots of redundant, utensils. Will be back!
Our stay was nothing short of magical, situated directly on the beach, offering front-row seats to surfing lessons right from the deck. Mornings were a delight, with captivating views of surfers amidst the ocean's rhythm, making it a serene spot to embrace the day. The unit itself was a haven of comfort, blending seamlessly with the coastal vibe. Its open spaces welcomed the ocean breeze, enriching our stay with the scent of salt and adventure. The attention to detail by our hosts, from their local recommendations to their prompt communication, added a layer of warmth to our experience. This place is a rare find for those drawn to the tranquility of the sea and the thrill of beach life. It offered us a perfect balance of relaxation and excitement, leaving us with memories we'll treasure and a longing to return. Truly, a beachfront bliss that elevates your vacation to an extraordinary experience.
We have never been able to stay this close to the ocean, it was amazing having it maybe 10 feet away. The unit is set up with louvered windows front and rear that allow the breeze and sound of the ocean to flow through 24/7 if you desire. The development is not new, but is well cared for, with manicured mature landscaping. The condo has a few small defects that are more than outweighed by the thoughtful touches. We were sad to leave , and will return again when we visit Kauai.
We selected this unit based on its VRBO photos and description, specifically for the lanai, (20 feet to the beach, as still stated in the description as of 12/30/23), palm trees and beautiful grass area bordered by manicured hedges leading directly to the beach; as well as a stunning, unobstructed view of the ocean from the lanai/grass. That is what was shown in the photos- At one time it was absolutely gorgeous. We arrived to find that NOTHING in the exterior photos remained. Following conveying our disbelief of the actual property condition to the hosts, a comment was added about the fence/railing and photos were updated to reflect what we actually arrived to find: NO GRASS AREA or hedges- those have been washed into the ocean and "20 feet to the beach" does not exist anymore. NO PALM TREES, as both have been cut down and only their stumps remain. NO UNOBSTRUCTED LANAI VIEW NO ACCESS TO THE BEACH from the lanai A fence is now in place, obstructing the ocean view when seated on the lanai, and blocks beach access. A look at other negative reviews revealed that the host knew the photos were inaccurate-see host Jeff's reply to Scott F. "We are having new photos taken as we don’t ever want anyone to ever accuse us of false advertising..." Additionally we shared the unit with rodents since an alternate beach unit was not available. Picking up droppings each morning was another disheartening part of our stay as we were against the glue traps we were offered.
The lanai is ten feet from the ocean at high tide. We enjoyed dining on the lanai, watching surf school right off the balcony and of course the amazing sunsets. We appreciated the little touches that the owners added to the condo like providing a cooler and laundry basket for us to use. BTW although there is no washer or dryer in the unit, the complex does have a guest laundry facility. It's $3 for basic washing and $3 for 45 minutes of drying. The machines accept credit cards but not quarters. There is no air-conditioning in the unit but falling asleep to the sound of the ocean is the best. I would definitely stay here again.
Loved hearing and watching the waves, the are literally right out the door. This makes the stay!! Plan to travel light, there is very little space to store your things—a small bureau with a bottom drawer that falls out, and a bit of hanging space. Store your luggage in the living room because bottom of closet already houses lots of stuff. But who cares?! The view and sounds are unbeatable. Would most definitely stay here again and again.
