About this property
Lovely Ocean View Second Floor End Unit, Tennis Club Included
Experience the classic "Old Hawaii" charm of Kauai’s South Shore at Kiahuna Plantation, Unit 25. This second-floor end unit has been a cherished family retreat for over 40 years, thoughtfully updated to balance modern comfort with the property's original redwood character.
Prime Location and Ocean Views Unit 25 is positioned to take full advantage of its natural surroundings. From the private lanai, guests can enjoy panoramic whitewater views of the surf. As an end unit, it benefits from consistent trade winds that provide natural cross-ventilation and cooling throughout the year. For outdoor relaxation, the front deck is naturally shaded by a mature rainbow tree, keeping the space comfortable even during the warmest parts of the day.
Resort Amenities and Beach Access The condominium is set within lush, landscaped gardens, offering a scenic walk directly to the beach. Guests receive a complimentary membership to the Poipu Beach Athletic Club, which features a resort-style pool with a water slide, tennis courts, and a full fitness center. For a casual meal, the poolside Cabaña Grill is available with no reservations required.
Comfort and Convenience The unit is fully equipped for island adventure. A dedicated exterior guest closet includes beach umbrellas, snorkeling gear, tennis rackets, and lawn games. When dining out, the property is within walking distance of local favorites like Keoki’s Paradise and a short drive from the shopping and fine dining at Kukui'ula.
Whether you are looking to surf, hike the Na Pali Coast, or simply enjoy the quiet beauty of the gardens, Unit 25 offers a peaceful and authentic home base for your Kauai stay.
The cleaning fee is $200 plus tax for stays of any duration. Additional cleaning, or restocking, can be requested at a reasonable cost when you check-in. NOTE: Due to peculiarities with the VRBO software, we've chosen to help underwrite cleaning costs for stays over 4 nights. Aloha!

This property is just a minute walk to the beach and has everything you would need: boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels (available daily from the beach hut). We had a great stay!
This condo is so great! We loved every minute. The view is incredible and I loved watching the sun set every evening. Would definitely stay here again!
This unit retains its historic charm while still being modern enough to make us feel right at home! And the view just makes everything better! We really enjoyed the grounds, especially the orchid and cactus gardens. We just got home, and we're already looking forward to our next visit!
The owner and staff at Castle Resort are very responsive and helpful. You cannot beat the location and use of the sports club across the street if you have kids. Would highly recommend!
This was our fourth stay and our favorite unit at the Kiahuna Plantation. Comfortable, excellent view, very well supplied in the kitchen and beach locker with everything we could possibly use to make our stay more enjoyable. Loved the lanai. The beach chairs were much appreciated.
Overall we loved the property, the view and the beach. Check in was a breeze, the bed was comfortable and location was wonderful. The place is on the older side and could use freshening up but it’s classic Kauai and a tropical island so we enjoyed the comfort and the view and did not mind that it was a little outdated. Overall we were very happy and it met our expectations. Worth booking!
This is one of the very best Kiahuna units. Corner unit with great view, steps from wonderful swimming beach. Everything was as described by the owner. We had an amazing stay and highly recommend this condo.
Absolutely beautiful property! The view is amazing, the deck is peaceful and inside is fantastic. All communication with Chuck is answered quickly and he has lots of great ideas to share.
Great location with a stunning view. The only issues we had was the smoke alarm went off the first day and our washing machine was broken for the last 3 days other than that amazing unit. Highly recommend
This is the best condo we have stayed at in kiahuna so far. (4 in total.)While it is not as modern as some of the other newly renovated ones, it has that true Hawaiian vibe throughout from artwork to furniture. Fully stocked kitchen with everything you need! Comfy bed too. The view of the ocean is all you see as you walk through the front door and the short walk to the beach is great. It gave us the best aloha feel and we will always book this condo from now on.
We've been to the Kiahuna many times over the past 40 years, and Chuck's condo is our favorite. The location is great with a lovely view of the large lawn and ocean from the balcony, and given that it's a top floor end unit, it's very private and quiet as well. I also appreciate Chuck's responsiveness to any of our inquiries. He's an excellent host.
We love staying at Kiahuna Plantation. It has a great pool, several great beaches, shopping and many many restaurants that you can walk to. Our night driving eyesight isn’t the best anymore so being able to stay close to home is perfect. This condo was exceptional the view was amazing. It was so relaxing . Great place to view sunsets and sunrises just around the corner. Being able to cook and bar b que is great. Everything you need to be comfortable.
Excellent location and unit in Kiahuna Plantation. Second time for another two weeks this year and will go back in teh same unit in the summer. Canot say enough about the entire package as well as the owners; Chuck has been exceptional communicating and not only following up but pre-empting any questions or needs we might have. Love everything about the vacation and the location and unit are a big part of it.
We were on Kauai to look at properties, so not a typical vacation stay. The unit is in a great location with a wonderful ocean view across a manicured lawn. A comfortable, well-maintained one-bedroom unit with a small kitchen that was fine for our purposes on this visit but a bit small if you are planning to do a lot of cooking. Noise travels on the property. Be aware that you are likely to hear the inevitable early rising noise from young children who have not adjusted to the time change from the mainland, especially if you are renting during the holiday or spring break seasons. A membership to the Poipu Beach Athletic Club is included. The club is a short walk from the unit. We workout at the PBAC whenever we are on Kauai and love the facility.
Great First Impression of Kauai Began with this Condo!
We had the pleasure of staying at this property in Southern Kauai for one week. The unit itself was excellent and in a great location for all we wanted to explore around the island from Poipu, Hanalei, the Na Pali coast, to a couple of stops in the Lihui and Kapaa area. The condo was impeccably clean and guest-friendly. No AC? Not a problem with the cross-breeze and ceiling fans. All that was in was written in the description proved to be true. I highly recommend staying at this condo if you are considering Kauai as a next vacation destination.
Chuck’s place was the perfect south shore spot for us. Open and breezy, with charm and comfort, we loved being steps from the beach and relaxing on the balcony. Looking out at the ocean and beautiful grounds from the living area was such a delight. We stargazed from the grounds’ lawn chairs while hearing the ocean sounds at night. The unit has everything you need. Compact but plenty of room for two. Restaurants and fantastic coffee a short walk away. The athletic club was awesome!! It had yoga and every piece of workout equipment you can think of. If you are a cat lover, you’ll also enjoy the resort’s resident kitties who lounge outside the management office. Chuck was very responsive to a couple questions we had. Would def stay here again!
My husband and I spent 4 beautiful days in this mesmerizing condo. We couldn’t wait to wake up every morning to look at our balcony views: the blue ocean & the green palm trees. The sheets, the bed & the pillows are comfortable. It’s a very cozy home, it was equipped with all the things we needed for our stay. It is located in a really nice, safe & quiet area, that we would love to come back again when in Kauai. Very easy access to the beach to catch some waves. The host, Chuck is very responsive and ready to answer any questions at any time. He suggested some great restaurants, where we particularly loved: The Beach House (great food and sunset views) & Keoke’s Paradise (great vibes), Puka Dog (for its famous hot dogs). Check in and. Heck out is very easy too. Overall, our time here was a harmonious symphony of comfort, beauty, and exceptional hospitality, leaving us eager to return and relive this unforgettable experience. Chuck & family, Thank you for having us!
And my expectations were already pretty high based on the other reviews. The unit was absolutely perfect. It was quiet and private. The location was superb. As we walked around the area, we really didn't think we could have chose a better unit to rent on the Kiahuna Plantation grounds. The unit was so perfect for our little family. The bedroom was perfectly dark and quite for sleeping (which is how we like it). We loved being able to sit on the porch and still be able to see the sunset and the waves. The activities closet was awesome to have and we used the chairs and umbrella at the beach. The access to the athletic club was amazing. Their pool over there is gorgeous and the work out facilities were top notch. The restaurant at the athletic club was also very nice. I rarely want to go back to the exact same location after a trip because there is just so much in the world to see, but I can confidently say that i would return to Kauai and would want to stay in this until again in the near future!
We (husband and I with daughters ages 12 and 14)stayed at this exceptional property for 5 nights in August on our first trip to Kauai. The condo and its location exceeded our expectations. It is a one minute walk from the unit to stunning Kiahuna beach, and we had to tear our girls away from the ocean(swimming, snorkelling, body boarding and surfing) to visit other sights on the island. The view from the balcony is lovely and seemingly one of the best in the complex.
The condo was well equipped with everything you might need, from beach supplies to a fully stocked kitchen and lots of closet/drawer space. The girls were very comfortable on the pull out couch and the king bed in the bedroom was lovely. The fans and fully screened windows and patio door were a welcome alternative to A/C and we were always comfortable. The owner went above and beyond with suggestions for restaurants in the area and assistance with any of our questions.
My only hesitation in recommending this condo is I would like it to be available for our next trip to Kauai! Thanks so much to Chuck and family for having us.
There are not enough good things to say about this property and the owner. The latter was very friendly, communicative, and graciously accommodated me in rescheduling our stay due to unforeseen circumstances. This was essentially the honeymoon my wife and I never got to take, and we couldn’t have picked a better place. It was very clean, had an amazing ocean view, and the Kiahuna Plantation grounds were absolutely beautiful. The beach is literally steps away and was perfect. I could go on forever but summarize by saying don't wait, just book this place. You won't regret it! We have already booked it again for next year.
A couple of specific notes:
1) It doesn't have A/C, but it doesn't need it. It's an end unit and the trade winds keep it a perfect temperature.
2) The bed is a king size and was nice. There's plenty of closet space and storage for your clothes.
3) The kitchen has everything you need and is big enough to not feel cramped.
4) The living room is also feels roomy, and the lanai is awesome!
5) Did I mention just book this place?
