It was very soothing, sitting on the lanai and watching "trade winds TV." Our only complaint is the dismal lighting over the dining table. Additional lighting would make a HUGE difference.
Fantastic condo. The decor, location and were all as listed. The AC was a plus as was the communication with manager.
Such a lovely property, we have stayed at the units in kiahuna and this one was great. Close to the beach and the nice great lawn, can’t wait to come again
We were thrilled with the location of this condo; quiet, near the beach and great lawn. It's very clean and well appointed with everything we needed. We especially appreciated the beach chairs and boggie board available in the unit. We're planning on returning next year.
Very relaxing, restaurants in walking distance, quiet
First time in Kaui. We had a great relaxing time here. Grounds were so nice and well kept. Our condo was clean and the a/c was really nice to have
This was a good place for two. Closet space, place to put and use luggage very limited. Two closets but both half crammed with owners property.
As an aside instructions to use tv, particularly if not set on the required input is very difficult.
Parking is a challenge here with high tenant count to this property.
We had a wonderful experience at the Kiahuna condo! The condo itself is in good repair and perfect for two. The location cannot be beat - the patio overlooks a beautiful lawn, and while the unit itself does not have a direct ocean view you are a 1 minute walk from the sand. Poipu is on the sunny side of the island and we had perfect beach weather. We’ll be back!
Excellent location within Plantation, quick walk to the beach. Beach club is great, nice pool, good resto and workout area. Condo itself was as described and pictured. No negatives to speak of.
We live on Oahu and visited Kauai for the first time.
Pros:
Centrally located. About an hour up the west coast and hour ish up the east coast to the north.
The pool access is great for young kids. It’s about .4 mi walk each direction so just a heads up if you’re walking and carrying stuff or have little kids that need assistance. You can drive, there’s parking.
The sunset is beautiful from this specific unit.
We personally didn’t use any of the beach equipment but we did notice it in the closet.
Cons:
We lost power for a few hours which was unfortunate it was right during my son’s nap time so the fans went off. I was worried about the food in the fridge going bad.
We came in the beginning of January and the water is rough. Drowning is on the top of the list for causes of death in Hawaii. My kids have grown up on Oahu and I still did not have them swimming at the beach here because it was too rough, a narrow strip of sand, steep drop to the water and crowded. I’m not sure how the water is there during other times of the year.
The sofa pull out bed was extremely uncomfortable and loud. I slept on that with my younger son because he is an early riser and the slightest gentlest turn woke us both up. We did not sleep well at all on the pull out bed.
There were some cracks in the tile on the lanai so I had to keep reminding my kids not to walk on them to avoid them cutting their foot.
Not enough bath towels
Because of the sofa bed- I would not book this particular unit.
