Our 2nd home kiahuna223 is close to the ocean as well as restaurants and shopping.
Kiahuna Plantation is a low density beach front Condo Resort, the only one on sunny Poipu Beach. FREE Wi-FI & Internet connection. The use of the pool, tennis and the Fitness Center at the POIPU BEACH ATHLETIC CLUB are also FREE for our guests. If you book with or through OUTRIGGER, you probably won't have FREE ACCESS to the new POIPU BEACH ATHLETIC CLUB.
A superior Management Company with an office at the Kiahuna Plantation manages our unit.
Nestled within 35 acres of lush lawns and tropical gardens are plantation style buildings, no higher than a palm tree. Our unit is open and airy due to large sliding doors and windows with louvers that open to catch the cooling Hawaiian trade winds.
The master bedroom on the first floor features a King Bed, 2 night stands, a separate dressing room and full bath with tub. The master bath has been completely renovated. A dresser - with a TV on top - and 2 large closets are provided for your clothes including a safe for valuables. A 6' sliding door leads to your private lanai with 2 lounges and a chair & table where you can relax with a good book and listen to the birds sing. New Island Shutters have been installed in the master bedroom for your privacy.
Our 2nd bedroom has 2 single beds, a night stand, a large dresser and a closet. The guest bathroom, which has been totally renovated is off the hall featuring a large enclosed shower, with a sink inside a cabinet with a granite top.
On the 2nd. floor, the living/dining room (great room) is spacious (20' x 24'). The full-service kitchen was recently updated with new cabinets, a stove, microwave dishwasher and refrigerator. Even a small oven is provided for warming up bread, or making toast. An electric coffee machine, mixer to make your tropical drinks & smoothies, and all the dishes, pots and utensils you need are provided. Next to the kitchen is the dining area with a glass top table and 6 chairs.
Two people can sleep on the pull-out couch in the living room, which has been re-upholstered. A 58” LCD TV sits on top of a dresser with FREE cable provided, including FREE Internet service for your computer.
Your private balcony is right outside the living room, where you can eat most of your meals, like we do, to save money. We usually shop at Costco in Lihue. They have a large variety of fish, sushi & sashimi, appetizers, and ready-made meals, including wines & spirits available.
There is room for 6 people to eat, using the round table & chairs on the balcony. In addition, you can also relax on a lounging chair and sip your favorite drink while watching the colorful birds in the huge, 107-year-old monkey-pod tree facing the balcony.
A new barbeque below our property will help you get quick, cost-efficient meals on your table. Even a hamburger or hot dog tastes better from the BBQ at the Kiahuna Plantation than at home.
However, if you prefer eating out and you don't want to drive, here are some of your choices: The Plantation Gardens Restaurant is right around the corner from our building. Across the street, at the Kiahuna Shopping Center, is Keoki's Paradise with open air dining. Across from Keoki's is a new Pizza and Italian Restaurant. The Bangkok Happy Bowl has good food. There is also a Taco Place and another place, where they serve a "Puka Dog" with a choice of unusual toppings.
One of the newest additions for fine dining is less than a mile west of our complex at the Kukui'ula Village in Koloa. Merriman's is good, but pricy. Our favorite for special occasions is a famous Steak House across from Merriman's. If you like Mexican food, the Tortilla Republic Grill & Margarita Bar takes care of your cravings. There are several other restaurants featuring all kinds of food, from seafood at Dolphin's, to grass-fed beef at Bubba's Burgers.
Around the Kiahuna Plantation property you find a multitude of beautiful blossoms and colorful foliage. Take in the aromas of sweet plumerias, orchids and hibiscus. Watch the palms gracefully swaying in the breeze, and find flowers, trees and shrubs you may have never seen before.
The Moir Cactus Garden is another spectacular attraction on the resort grounds, created almost 90 years ago. You'll discover that this Condo Resort is so much more relaxing than similar places on Oahu and Maui with their hustle and bustle.
A short walk from our condo will lead you to the best swimming beach on Kauai. You can surf, boogie-board, snorkel, sunbathe, or read a good book on the vast lawn facing the ocean. Free towels and beach chairs are provided for our guests. Surf-and boogie boards are available for rental. Surf lessons are also available.
The famous Poipu Bay Golf Course is 2 miles east. The Kiahuna Golf Course is just north of our property. Other courses are nearby, one as low as $30. More fun things close-by are horseback riding, scuba diving, windsurfing, etc.
