Mukilteo, Washington Women's Gab Fest in Kauai
Thank you so much for a wonderful stay! Your condo is outstanding - updated with great amenities. View from the deck, very comfortable furniture, all your kitchen needs are met. The pull out bed is very comfortable-just like a real bed - no bar in your back or anything! The property itself is outstanding. Just steps from the beach and a short walk to the pool. This complex is relaxed and casual filled with people of all ages - from babies to seniors all having fun in the sun. The beach is perfect with great swimming and snorkling or try your hand at surfing. Short drive to great restaurants and shopping and of course there is the rest of that beautiful island. THANK YOU for a wonderful trip.

Wonderful Stay in Kiahuna #33
Wonderful vacation. Thank you for renting your condo to us Elizabeth. The renovations you have done enhance the property. I was actually quite pleased with how spacious the condo actually is. The location in the complex is great, close to the beach and that nice open area to sit and relax. We made use of some of your beach gear which was really appreciated. The information you gave us for walks, restaurants, shopping, etc. was very helpful. We felt very comfortable and relaxed right away. We wouldn't hesitate to rent number 33 again. Thanks again. Brian and Noeleen, Mission British Columbia

Kiahuna Frequenter
Our family enjoys the Kiahuna Plantation for the location at the beach and the open spaces of lawn and garden. I have stayed in several of the condominiums at Kiahuna over the years with my adult children and the renovations on this condo are the best of the best, giving it the roomiest feel of all the others I have experienced. For example, this condo has a larger flat-panel TV screen that hangs on a strategic spot on the wall in the dining area instead of the usual location in the living area by the kitchen. This frees up more space around the kitchen which has already been enhanced by removing the usual divider walls that separate the kitchen from the dining and living areas. My kids like to cook and bake, so the stainless steel kitchen appliances are a real plus. So is the large selection of spices and sauces. (Not found at the other condos.) The set of cutting knives hanging on a magnetic plate on the wall were a conversation piece. I slept well in the pull-out bed which has a particularly good mattress and pull-out mechanism. The king-size regular bed is great, which I also tried out for a couple nights after my big kids had returned to school. And there's the iHome docking station alarm clock for the iPhone. Hooks in the entry and in the bath where needed for hanging clothes. The location of the condo being so near the beach with an ocean view from the Lanai is great too. Looking forward to staying there again!

Everything we imagine Hawaii to be!
We spent nine fantastic days at the Kiahuna Plantation, condo #33. Elizabeth gave us a lot of information about restaurants, walking possibilities, and excursions. She was making our stay wonderful. The condo is fully equipped and you have an arrival set of tea and coffee which is really nice. Spices, oil, vinegar, etc. are available too.. The beach is really near and we enjoyed to use the beach chairs (new for us arriving from Switzerland!) and all the beach equipment available. We enjoyed to eat every day on the lanai with the view on the ocean. We can highly recommend this nice and quiet condo. Thank you for all you did for us.

Our family's First trip to Kauai (Hawaii too!)
Our family (4 adults and 9 month old boy) was staying at Kiahuna Plantation, condo # 33 for total of 11 nights at the end of April beginning of May 2018. We had a wonderful time. Condo is fully equipped, it has everything what you need to enjoy your vacation and even more. Kitchen is equipped on 100%, I can't even think about a thing which wasn't on that kitchen! All appliances in a perfect condition, brand new large refrigerator, flat-screen TV with Netflix and cable, very fast WI-FI. The big thing for us was that Elizabeth provided a little collapsible crib, which perfectly fit in a master bedroom between a wall and a bed. Our son liked that crib a lot and had a very peaceful sleep in there. There are tons of local guides about places on the island you might want to visit. Little tip - go to app store on your phone and invest $6 in the app where the guide tells you in a fun manner about places your driving through. I don't remember the name of the app, but this dude was hilarious! The condominium complex itself located between two large 5 stars hotels, where you can go and enjoy a dinner or breakfast, or maybe a drink. Condo is in direct proximity to the beach with all amenities included. No lifeguard on duty however, so watch yourself and your kids swimming. I rented a long serf-board over there (1 hour $10, cards are accepted), but since it was my first time I wasn't really catching any waves, but the whole experience was very fun. You can also take a surfing class. I watched the guy was training people all day long, and they had a lot of fun too. BBQ stations are everywhere, all well-maintained, staff cleans them every morning, we were really enjoying BBQing at nights. Oh this is my favorite part. Meat on this island is really cheap, I mean really really cheap, all local and grass-fed. You can buy a large chunk of rib-eye stake for $6 in a local grocery store. But I went even further I googled a local farm-store which is within 15 minutes driving and bought really good beef in there. I mean there are so much pleasant things I have not mentioned about this condo, but I don't want to repeat previous reviews, which I fully confirm. The overall experience of staying at Elizabeth' residence was enjoyable, calm, peaceful and hustle-free, everything what would you expect from a perfect vacation. We highly recommend this place! Thank you, Elizabeth!

Our Favorite Vacation Every Year
Just returned from our annual visit to Kauai. Thank you for all your personal touches in the condo. We love the changes you are making and enjoyed staying there for our second time. You have truly put a personal touch to your home, and it makes us feel like we are family. Your pantry/closet was a true gift for the few things your only need to use once or twice. The location to the beach is perfect. Kauai is our happy place and we look forward to returning next year. THANK YOU ELIZABETH!!

Perfect Kauai Vacation!
Thank you for the use of your lovely home at Kiahuna. The distance from the water is ideal. We loved having breakfast on the lanai, loved the breeze coming through the windows at night. We much appreciated all the little touches you provide, from the closet of toys to the laundry soap. We did a lot of hiking around the island, ate up a storm at excellent restaurants, took a fabulous helicopter ride, took in a luau, and relaxed big time. Amazing. Anyway, thank you for all your hospitality and solicitude over email and for all the special touches you added to make our vacation most wonderful.

About The Area
Poipu Beach
Why is Poipu Beach rated one of the most beautiful beaches in the world? You have to see it to believe it. It is one of the few beaches of its kind you can access on all of Kauai. Poipu Beach is by far the most popular beach on Kauai’s south shore (and arguable on the entire island). In the past, The Travel Channel has named Poipu Beach as America’s Best Beach. Golden sand greets beach visitors and you can relax on complimentary beach chairs. The beach’s crescent shape creates a natural wading pool of calm, brilliant blue waters. Visitors can enjoy snorkeling, swimming, boogie-boarding and light surfing.
Poipu Beach Athletic Club

Weight lifting, cardio or a combination, you will find options for all of that and more. There is also an outdoor pool with a water slide, “beach shore†and jacuzzi. This is great if you want a break from the ocean or to keep a closer eye on children. And do not forget the tennis courts, Basketball courts and Pickle Ball for a friendly game or two. Also there is a Pro Shop where you can peruse clothing and gear to play. PBAC also includes “Hapas Restaurant†for casual dining with occasional live music concerts as well.

Swiss Couple on 6 week tour of the Hawaiian Islands:Â
"Our nine days in #33 and the sights we saw, the snorkling just across the lawn, sunbathing, the canyon, helecopter tour, boat ride and simply savoring the sunsets with other world travelers .. were THE BEST 9 days of all our entire Hawaian tour. Kiahuna provided everything we had imagined that Hawaii would be!  Thank you for 'rescuing us' after the 28 inches in 24 hour rains that welcomed us to North Kauai on April 15th! Your gift to us of your 2 vacant days onto our booking, so we could come down to Poipu was a God send. Thank you Elizabeth. Now we're home in the Swiss Alps, but we hope to return someday. Kiahuna fulfilled all our dreams of what Hawaii would be."  Christiane and Reinhold
