This is a leasehold property. Welcome to Surf’s Up Suite at Kiahuna Plantation, a relaxed second-floor condo that reflects the easy rhythm of Kauaʻi living. Light, breezy, and styled with subtle surf-inspired touches, the space feels comfortable and natural from the moment you walk in. A peek-a-boo ocean view, a split zoned air conditioning system, and a layout that flows comfortably from living area to lanai make it an easy place to settle in, whether you’re here for a weekend or something longer. The living area is designed for everyday use, with a new sofa sleeper featuring a queen memory foam mattress, ceiling fans, tradewinds, and a lanai that extends the living space for morning coffee or quiet evenings. The bedroom is calm and simple, anchored by a king bed that’s ideal after long days in the sun. The bathroom has been refreshed with a recently refinished tub, keeping things clean, practical, and easy to maintain. The kitchen is fully equipped and recently upgraded, including a brand-new four-burner electric stove, making it well suited for both short stays and extended visits. Nothing here feels overdone or overlooked; it’s thoughtfully put together to be easy, usable, and low stress. What truly sets Surf’s Up Suite apart is how ready it is to be enjoyed. Beach gear, surfboards, boogie boards, and family-friendly touches are already in place, making day-to-day island living or guest stays seamless. Kiahuna Plantation spans 35 acres of beautifully maintained beachfront grounds and offers access to the Poipu Beach Athletic Club just across the street. With Poipu Beach, Kiahuna Beach, dining, shopping, convenient parking, on-site laundry, EV chargers, and BBQ areas all nearby, this is a relaxed, livable opportunity in one of Poipu’s most loved beachfront communities.

Hikina Kona, located between Lawai Road and Kaumualii Highway, is a coastal and rural Lawai neighborhood with plantation-era textures and ocean-facing trade winds. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Lawai Road and Kaumualii Highway junction, where small storefronts, service counters, and roadside fruit stands set a working, local rhythm. Talk Story Bookstore anchors the area with shelves and readings, while Kauai Coffee Company’s estate grounds and tasting room add a distinctly island-grown ritual. Low-slung homes and older cottages mix with garden lots, and the landscape shifts quickly from cane-era fields to salt air. Days tend to orbit around beach time at nearby Lawai Beach and sunset walks toward Spouting Horn. The pace reads calm and practical, shaped by highway convenience and open skies.
