Upon entering the Kiahuna Plantation you know your tropical vacation has started. Surrounded by overhanging trees and carpeted by short cropped grass the grounds exude paradise found. The architecture is distinctly plantation style with shutters and fans. The view out the sliding glass doors is of grass leading up to a line of palm trees and the ocean beyond. Peter keeps the place stocked with items you need for enjoying the beach. My wife and I used the kitchenette to prepare breakfast and we grilled fish and steak at a nearby gas grill for dinner. This was a great launching point to explore up to Hanalei or west to Waimea canyon. We hated to leave and highly recommend to anyone from couples to families with kids.
