Professional Cleaning and Disinfecting
Castle Resorts handles all resort cleaning and do a high quality professional cleaning and disinfecting. Cleaning fee is paid directly to Castle Resorts upon check-in ($268+ tax).

One great advantage of hiring Castle Resorts is there 24 hour guest service. When you check-in, you will go to their bungalow that is open from 9-9 and available after hours by phone. The Castle Resort bungalow is on the Kiahuna Resort property and just a short distance from condo #245, building 37.
Below is everything Condo #245 offers. The bullet points will allow you to grasp the "Big Picture" of what your vacation paradise will be like at Kiahuna Resort.

* Condo #245 was recently up-graded with a beautiful Hawaiian decor. It will comfortably accommodate up to 4-5 guests. Guests comment on how lovely it is.

* Enjoy a short 5 minute walk through the lush tropical grounds to the most beautiful crystal-blue, consistently sunny beaches in Kauai. THIS IS A HUGE PLUS! No driving, looking for parking, etc. The resort has the best, huge beach.

* The beaches are super outstanding for snorkeling, surfing for all abilities, boogie boarding, lap swimming, swim aerobics, SUP boarding and the perfect baby beach for infants and children. You don't have to drive somewhere else to enjoy these activities.

* Just a short stroll to Starbucks, Kauai Juice Company, Farmer's Market, great gelato parlor, unique island shopping and award-winning restaurants.

* Private closet just outside front door FULL of EVERYTHING you need for beach fun: beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, tubes, noodles, food chests, carry bags, etc. Just for YOU! No need to run and buy or rent.

* Flat screen SMART TV wall mounted in living area and cable TV mounted in the bedroom.

* FREE, High-Speed Wifi

* Smoke-free property

* Rest is the Basis of Activity! We want you to rest well so you can fully enjoy your vacation. That is why we gave extra attention to making the king size bed as comfortable and heavenly as possible. A premium MEMORY foam delivers pressure relief for a deeper, more rejuvenating sleep.

* The bright and open kitchen is fully equipped. Everything the "Cook" would want to create your favorite meals. Even a super Ninja blender to blend your smoothies, knife set, coffee maker, cutting boards, etc.

* Maximum Privacy for Peace and Quiet: This top-floor, corner condo is uniquely private and secluded so other resort guests can not disturb you by walking and talking by your windows to get to their condo. No one walking on your ceiling at night.

* One of the biggest complaints from guests at other condos at Kiahuna Resort is the noise that gets generated from many guests walking by their bedroom and bathroom windows at all hours of the day and night. Condo has door to separate you condo from walkway and other guests.

* You won't be bothered by this constant disruption in Condo # 245. Check out the photos and see the private door that can be closed to completely privatize your living area from others staying at the resort.

* Another "plus" for peace and quiet is being on the top floor and an end/corner unit. You won't be bothered by the noise from guests above you or to the west side.

* Keep in mind, there are no elevators at Kiahuna Resort. Condo #245 is on the top floor so there are several stairs.

A Hui Hou! "Until we meet again"

Poipou treasure

We loved our stay at Alex’s vacation home. It’s spacious with a nice lanai to enjoy coffee every morning and situated on corner so very private. A short walk to the grassy area by beach. The grounds are beautifully maintained. There were lots of fans inside the condo which we appreciated.

Perfect Condo

We loved our stay at this condo in Poipu. It had everything we needed. A plus was the several fans situated in the various rooms. We especially enjoyed sitting out on the lanai, taking in the beautiful views. The resort property is lush with plenty of tropical plants. It is just a short walk to the beach.

beautiful location

I've seen various facilities in Kauai. But this one tops them all. It's like being in a tropical garden. Huge trees, niches with barbecue areas everywhere. Very, very friendly staff. You are greeted warmly everywhere. The apartment is good, but the furnishings are a bit outdated. But all in all, we really enjoyed it here. We would love to come back.

Paradise found

We love the Kiahuna plantation. Our stay at Cynthia and Alrick’s condo was wonderful. We had a nice distant peekaboo view of the ocean. The condo is very clean and nicely appointed. One of the nicest parts of our stay was getting to know Cynthia and Alrick. They are wonderful, sweet people and very willing to help you in anyway they can. You can’t go wrong to choose this condo.

Rest and Recharge

Alarik and Cynthia are attentive hosts. We had few reasons to connect, but each time we had a question we received prompt responses. And follow ups to make certain things were going well. It's a beautiful property and being on the top floor in an end unit with the ability to see the ocean was awesome. The area is walkable to two centers with restaurants and shops. One is a five minute walk and the other is a twenty minute walk, which is along the ocean ! We look forward to returning !

Great Condo in a Beautiful Location

We stayed in this condo and loved it. Communication with the owners was professional and friendly. The place was exactly as advertised. Everything worked well and it was clean and quiet. The walk to the beach is easy. We found that the best beach location was just to the east by the Marriott. We drove 3 minutes to the parking lot just east of the property. The beach chairs and umbrellas in the closet were very useful. We rented the car that is available with the condo and that worked out really well. No surprises or hidden fees. Would definitely stay here again and will recommend it to others.

Great place, great condo, fantastic Host’s

We have been staying at plantation for years. Different buildings/rooms each time through VRBO. This room was just as nice as the others but the Host’s are on island and so helpful. If this is your first trip to area this room is perfect! Corner unit means a nice breeze and the owners description of view does not give justice to the ocean view. It’s distant but not peekaboo at all …. Simply perfect room, we slept so good on bed we came home & ordered the bed topper they have on mattress! Mahalo for such a welcoming bag of goodies you left for our arrival! We will be back :) 🌴🌺🌞

Paradise

This was our first time in Kauai, and we have now absolutely fell in love with the island. This condo was perfect for our trip. Comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen if you are wanting to eat in, which we did for the majority of our meals. Loved that we could make our own smoothies. Lots of fans to keep the space cool. Well stocked activity closet, including beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers and snorkel gear. Awesome to walk through the property and have a beach where you swim, surf, snorkel, body surf or just hang out right there waiting for you. We also took advantage of the car rental. At first I was unsure about it, but had seen a couple reviews mention it, so took the opportunity and it was awesome and very convenient in every way, from communications with owners to pick up and drop off.The property owners were lovely and easy to reach when needed. They take pride in their condo, and ensured that we had an incredible stay. We can’t wait to return!!

Beautiful grounds and location

The location was convenient to Poipu beaches and shopping. The grounds were amazingly beautiful. Plenty of parking near the condos. Very beautiful setting. As for the condo, it was ok but worn out. Be aware that there are 30 steps to get up to the top floor with no elevator. No problem with that, just be aware. The weather and humidity takes a toll on Hawaii properties. That is what you come to expect there. The walk to the beach is about 7 to 8 minutes, not the 3 minute walk as described in the description. There are some inaccuracies in the vrbo listing description. There is not a washer in the condo. But there is a guest laundry area near the checkin building. $3 per load, and it takes credit cards. There are plenty of washers and dryers. The bedroom was small but there was sufficient closet and drawer space. Nice eating areas inside and on the lanai. Overall, it was an acceptable condo, just a bit worn out. The privacy door was nice. And a closet full of beach items was very convenient. All in all, a nice place to stay.

Worth Your Consideration

This is the first time we stayed in a VRBO in Hawaii. We enjoyed this experience very much compared to staying at a resort hotel. The property is well located in Poipu, and both the grounds and the unit were well maintained. Like most VRBO properties in Kauai, this one is not air conditioned. This was only an issue on our first night, after an unusually hot day and unusually light trade winds. The property does have two ceiling fans, two stand fans, and one table top fan. These kept the unit comfortable except on the hottest day of our stay. The unit is well equipped with pots, pans, utensils, plates and glassware. The beach closet near the front entry was well stocked with items that you would otherwise consider buying for a stay on Kauai. Cable and internet were good, and the TV in the living room was a smart TV, so we were able to view Netflix and Prime Video. Furniture was comfortable, and the large lanai was the perfect place to enjoy fresh local fruit from the nearby fruit stand. There are plenty of dining and shopping options nearby also, and the ability to use the pool and fitness club across the street was a nice amenity that we used almost daily. If you have an issue with stairs, you may want to opt for a ground floor unit, as this unit is a three story walk up.

We stayed for a destination wedding and had an excellent time! Alarik and Cynthia were the best hosts we've ever had through a vacation rental. Their pre-trip coordination was very detailed, and they were the perfect amount of supportive during the stay (always available, but never a bother). The vehicle option was fantastic as well - much easier than other options on the island. I highly recommend their place and would stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Alex Turner

Aloha to Everyone!

We are very happy to meet you.

We are both brain scientists and really into health and well-being!

We have done a lot of traveling ourselves and stayed in many resorts. We know what makes it or breaks it! So, we have tried to make our Condo #245 be the ultimate vacation get-a-way. We hope you read the description and check out the photos. That way you will get a real flavor of all we have to offer.

We are fortunate to live here on sunny south shore of Kauai We found Kauai after Maui, Big Island and Oahu. We lived some time on north shore of Kauai but became tired of the often brown and polluted beaches from the rivers flowing into the ocean.
We also got tired of so many rainy days. We use to drive DOWN to Poipu to find the sun, NOW we live here with crystal clear waters on sunny days all year round. Plus, 15 minutes to all the key island businesses in Lihue and 20 minutes to airport.

In addition, we are much closer to the west shore and canyon areas. And, close to nearly all of the ocean activities such as Na Pali snorkel, sail, and/or raft excursions. Or, ATV tours to water falls, ancient Hawaiian lands, ziplining etc

So, we are happy to be living here and invite you to enjoy the same value the south shore offers. Being here saves us a lot of time to do the things we want and can save you a lot of time vacationing. South shore Kauai has it all.

But, don't get us wrong, we like many things about north shore, especially going out to Tunnels and Keke beach and Kahalau trail.

Wishing you the best of the best vacation ever!
