If you have decided to stay in or near Poipu or anywhere on the south shore of Kauai, this is an amazing spot. The location is perfect in that it is a very short walk to the beach, but also to shops and restaurants across the way if you don't want to hop in the car to go further. The Kiahuna Plantation is charming, beautiful, and serene. The unit itself is clean and cute and more than enough space for two people. We didn't make much use of the kitchen, since our stay was a short one, but had we stayed longer, I could see it being perfect for cooking and eating in. It was so nice to have access to the beach chairs and umbrella to be able to relax on the beach and for there to be air conditioning was a huge bonus in keeping comfortable. Merris was great and exceptionally timely with all communication and provided all necessary details and lots more to make sure you enjoy all the island has to offer.
