Kiahuna 163 has a fantastic ocean view of the waves breaking against the beach, which is just steps away. We just (Dec 2022) completed a full, complete remodel . . . air conditioning added, all new furniture, all new flooring and tile, all new appliances, all new mahogany doors & trim, all new kitchen and bathroom cabinets. Besides being completely remodeled, let me tell you what makes our unit special, and then more about the property itself.
Location matters!!! With ~330 condos at Kiahuna Plantation Resort, some units are located on the beach . . . the ocean is right there but it can also be crowded which cuts into your privacy. Then some units are away from the beach next to the road where you'll definitely hear cars driving by . . . and some will find this too noisy. Our unit, is located about 200 feet from the ocean in the heart of Kiahuna Plantation Resort. This part of the resort is always in high demand, because the units are quiet, close to the beach with an ocean view but still affordable.
Our specific unit is a second-floor, end-unit, which means there are more windows to leave open and enjoy the breeze . . . and you don't have to worry about closing every window when you want to go to the beach (which you'll have to do with bottom floor units) . . . just leave and the condo remains nice and pleasant while you're gone. For days when you’d like a little bit more than a breeze, turn on the air conditioning in the living room or the bedroom. Our unit is a one-bedroom non-smoking condo that sleeps 2 adults and 2 children and is fully outfitted for all your needs.
The condition of your unit matters too!!! Kiahuna Plantation Resort was built more than 40 years ago across 35 acres, and while the resort grounds are beautiful . . . many individual units have been minimally updated over the years, and it shows as soon as you walk in. To that end, we just completely remodeled our unit in December 2022. We opened up the kitchen area . . . we not only modernized it with new cabinets, counters and appliances, but we also wanted to brighten up the unit and open up the kitchen to allow those in the kitchen to feel connected to those in the living and dining room. We also re-designed the bathroom so now there’s a large walk-in shower to rinse off after your stay at the beach. All new furniture . . . nothing was spared to ensure the beauty of Kiahuna Resort was matched inside our unit as well. Lastly, you’re vacationing in a tropical paradise . . . so we took care to make sure the unit and its furnishings feel like you’re staying on a tropical resort and not some sterile hotel room.
Kiahuna Plantation Resort was developed more than 40 years ago when there were virtually no vacation properties on the sunny south side of Kauai. The property is located on Poipu Beach, which the Travel Channel called one of the best 10 beaches in the world . . . for three straight years. The resort was designed to have the laid-back feel of an old tropical resort, with all low-rise buildings which are spread out across 35 acres of grounds.
The Poipu Beach Athletic Club (PBAC) is just across the road, and our guests have full access to the pool, workout room and tennis courts.

Nice and clean condo! I find it a must to have air conditioning . While the AC was not always needed, it was good to know it was there.

Title says it all. Wonderfully redone unit with very nice use of the space. (Perfect for two; we would have found it tight for more.) The location is terrific; very walkable to the Sheraton property nearby with great restaurant/bar area, and the shopping center across the street.
Bed is very comfortable and the kitchen is very well equipped with dishes, pots and pans etc. Parking easily available nearby.
No facilities actually on the property (i.e. bell/baggage service, sundries shop, business center, fitness center) and not a great fit for working remotely, but was able to make it work for the few hours I had to do. But for a very enjoyable vacation this unit and its owners can't be beat.

Great updates throughout condo made for a relaxing retreat. Loved all the different palms, flowers, lawn throughout property. Ideal location in the heart of Poipu. AC was appreciated when the trade winds eased. Nice ocean view from deck

I stayed at this property with my husband and 7 year old son mid March. From the moment we stepped foot onto the grounds we knew it would be hard to leave. The condo itself and views from the lanai were beautiful, even more so than the pictures convey. Everything was so clean! The condo was spotless and the grounds were perfectly manicured. My only regret was that we did not book a longer stay.
We utilized the beach hut for beach towels, snorkel gear and beverages. The process was easy and convenient. There are restaurants, shops and local coffee in close walking distance. Two nights a week there is a luau at the hotel next door and we enjoyed hearing the music while we sat on the lanai and watched the stars. (Pro tip): You could even walk the beach and catch some of the show.
Other good to know info:
-The beach gets busier throughout the day, but it never felt over crowded. If you're an early bird (out before 9) you'll mostly have the beach to yourself.
-Parking is first come first serve, but we never had an issue finding parking close to the condo.
-There is so much that is walkable in the area including the turtles at Poipu beach.
If you are on the fence about booking this property - this is your sign to do it! You will not regret it! I'd still be there right this moment if I could!

Lovely condo and a prime location at the resort. Have an ocean view, privacy, and breezes off the ocean. Bright, super clean, comfortable, everything new. The grounds are immaculate. The communal bbq’s by the lagoon are very close. We enjoyed bbqing and sitting at the picnic tables for dinner.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Wow! This unit has been so beautifully updated, there are not words. Kiahuna Plantation is a peaceful oasis among the busy resorts in Poipu, and this unit ranks among the best! It was very quiet, and furnishings, bedding and well-equipped kitchen made it feel cozy and comfortable. We enjoyed the many opportunities for a good daily walk, the lounge chairs on the lawn overlooking the waves, and the proximity to the shopping and restaurants right across the road. We did not get a chance to check out the pool and fitness center, but perhaps on our next visit! We would definitely rent this unit again! Owners were very responsive to any questions we had, and resort staff were all friendly and professional.

My husband and I spent 9 nights at this condo in September. The condo was updated, clean & comfortable. The pictures on the website don’t do it justice! The views of the ocean were amazing! It was very quiet & relaxing. The location was awesome! It is walking distance to restaurants & shops and a short drive to additional beaches, shops & attractions. The owner was very responsive to my emails. The staff on site were very friendly. We would definitely stay there again!
