Excellent homebase location on the island, quick trips to Lihue and easy launch point going any direction. Good beach and kids play within a short walk, the pool on the property was fun. Would recommend!

Good spot as a home base for island. Most days we spent most of our time in north or south areas. River is very close for cool kayaking trek. Nice beach view for morning coffee. Swimmable beach 10min or less walk on paved path or down beach. Large grassy area in front of unit for kids to play. They have beach towels and 3 beach chairs. Few pool noodles and beach mats. No air conditioning so can get a little balmy at times but was not a major issues with constant winds off coast.

We always love true Oceanfront condos. This is one of those. Lots of amenities. Beach chairs, coolers, snorkel gear, etc. Remodel is great. We would stay here again. I am always stressed when there isno AC, but you really didn't need it. Perfect breeze though the condo every night.

We completely fell in love with this condo and its location. The morning sunrises were spectacular. We were literally steps from the beach and about a 10 min walk to the lagoons at Lydgate Beach Park . We loved collecting sea glass along the rocks. There was no a/c but it wasn’t needed with the windows open, allowing for the sounds and breeze from the ocean to cool the condo. There were plenty of fans available as well. The kitchen was stocked with all the amenities you would need to cook breakfast etc. There’s a Safeway 5 mins down the road for food and drinks.The washer and dryer were so convenient, the linen closet was full of extra towels along with pillows and blankets. They had everything covered! Mornings wouldn’t be complete with the roosters and chickens greeting us. Coconut Marketplace is down the road with restaurants, stores and a farmers market a couple times a week. There’s a disc golf course right next to the property on one side and a golf course on the other side. The grounds were well maintained and clean!!We definitely recommend this property to everyone!!

Definitely was not what we were told we would be getting. We were supposed to have sleeping accommodations for 5; king bed, 2 twin beds and 1 aero mattress. A few weeks prior to arriving; we were instructed to provide all the names staying in the unit. We did so as requested. After a long day of travel; we arrived at the unit and found to only have a king and 2 ROCK hard twin mattresses. We tried to reach out to numbers provided to us. After some time someone responded. Only to find out they did NOT in fact have the accommodations they advertised they would have for us. Now it is after 7pm and was told that we could find something else and would be provided a refund. I called around to several places to try and get some VERY LAST MINUTE reservations for our family. Finally I found something but of course they were not able to accommodate that night since it was so late in the day but could take us for the rest of the stay on the island. We informed these hosts and made them aware of what was happening. We had to stay the one night and were out by about 7:30am. The only thing we used was the showers and a few of the towels. Of which we put in the washer to wash prior to leaving. No one even slept in any of the beds. I had someone sleep in the car and the others slept on the couch and living room chair with our own blankets. I have a text message directly from our host stating they would be issuing us a refund. THAT STILL HAS YET TO HAPPEN!! I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!

Exactly what we were looking for. Very private complex. Unit was very clean, in great condition and remodeled. Kitchen had everything we needed for cooking. The beach stuff was nice to have access to as well.Overall a great unit. Property managers were there to assist when needed. Would definitely stay here again.

We were returning a a location we’ve visited many times after a gap of over ten years. This ocean front unit was in excellent condition (as were the ones we had stayed at in previous trips). There were issues with the linens and some confusion with the cleaner.

This was my 4th time on the island, 3rd time staying at this property. The property and unit were just as pristine and well kept as the first time I stayed there in 1998 then in 2011 for my wife and my honeymoon. We've done the tourist thing in the past, but this time we decided to just kick back and relax, and that's what we did for 8 whole days! This unit was the best so far, everything was as described, beautifully kept, short walk to the beach, awesome pool and i love how there are 2 BBQ grills in the pool area so you can take a dip while grilling. The property is off the beaten path so theres not alot of foot traffic so you feel isolated from all the commotion of tourism, but still close to shops, restaurants, bars, farmers markets etc... in all directions. We went to Costco and stocked up on beer and food and cooked alot at the condo for breakfast and dinner. We hung out on the lanai about 80% of the time drying off from swimming and just enjoying the sights and sounds of the ocean. We had, and I would highly suggest, a pair of water shoes for the rocks in the ocean. To sum up, everything was perfect and one of the best, relaxing vacations we've ever had. Mahalo Garden Island Properties, we'll definitely be back!

Had to get a new tv, the bracket to hold the shower head was broken but Dale tool care of both. A little inconvenient to have to wait for the pest control team to arrive, ants in the kitchen—one of their technicians walked in with no protective slippers on and left dirt on the floor.

My husband and I loved our stay at Kaha Lani Resort. The views were unbelievable, with the ocean only a few steps away. The lack of A/C was a little tough at times, but you do get a nice breeze from the ocean, and overall, it's worth it. The unit is stocked with everything you need. The proximity to the airport and kapa'a was fantastic and it was easy to get anywhere on the island. Thank you for a great stay!

We stayed 8 nightsWalk to the Beach was the best partBeach was clean and quiet It's mostly a private beach. You can pretty much see the beach from the balcony Property yards are maintained wellKitchen had good set of utensils for cooking Checkin and Checkout was hassle free. No trips needed to be made to the rental office. By the way the property management company is not on the property, they are somewhere else just a note to all.Because we stayed 8 nights we could find things that can be improved1. Downstairs shower does not have a soap box so u have to figure out where to place the bar2. Beds can be replaced for newer ones. 3. Laundry detergent can be provided especially because it's not available on the property for purchase.4. Email instructions on check-in said go to the rental office to pick up keys. But looks like this has been changed please change the email instructions as well so its not confusing

We loved the location of this condo right on the beach. Sunrises overlooking the water was the highlight of each day. We also loved watching the sunset on the beach right outside the condo. We were amazed at how quiet the beach was and how often we were alone on the beach.

Located on the eastern coast, the location is perfect for activities all over the island. The beach at the condo is mostly private, but not a good swimming area. But you can walk 5 minutes north to a safe swimming location. Wonderful stay! Highly recommend.

Our family of four adults stayed in May 2025 and really enjoyed the location—the view can’t be beat. The beds were comfortable and with the sea breeze air conditioning wasn’t needed. The outdoor chest has beach chairs, umbrella, toys and even a cooler. Living near saltwater ourselves we know how harsh it is, some things are starting to show their age but it didn’t take away from the charm of the rental. We would happily spend another week here.

What a lovely place to stay. Near town & airport as well as halfway between other various places/beaches you might like to visit. (The airport was sure handy when we found two things wrong with two different cars after leaving the lot… - just fyi, check the gas gauge & tires!) Only 10 mins walk to Lydgate Beach & the very cute, fun Mamahune tiki bar. Great to have two lanais and two bathrooms as well! A few things could’ve been more perfect, dropped a line to the managers, nothing a big enough deal to call at the time. Overall fabulous spot, would stay again!

Everything in the apartment was nice, updated, and comfortable. It took a moment to understand that not everyone follows rules the same way, we had a (weed) smoker nearby that was never located and that was the only unpleasant part. The ability to walk to the shore was really nice.

This property on the east side of Lihue is situated centrally for wherever you would want to go on the island. It has a spectacular sunrise view with a paved walking trail running along the beach. Very clean and well equipped with everything you need to get you started. Only negative was there is no A/C which made is slightly uncomfortable during the day. But, with the windows open and fans on at night we slept comfortably.

The unit had no air conditioning. Read the fine print. Everything hot and sweaty including dripping windows, cabinets, and mirrors, floors were sticky and dirty. Fans provided but doesn’t cut the heat or humidity. Homeless down the street and seen on the property. Not enough towels provided for our stay. Property manager was quick to respond to our concerns.

Had an amazing and relaxing stay. Convenient and quiet location. The ocean view from the balcony was so peaceful to wake up to and enjoyed it at night. Did have to get used to hearing the roosters everyday at 4am from the bedroom. Also I would suggest having ice packs to use for the cooler. Other wise had everything I needed and would definitely stay there again.

The condo was just as advertised and was beautiful, with a lovely ocean view. The Kaha Lani complex has never disappointed. The grounds are beautifully maintained and the pool is great. This was the fourth condo we have rented here, and if/when we return, we’ll try to get 114 again.

Great location! Place was nice and well equipped. However, sleeper sofa is very old and mattress is extremely uncomfortable. We had 3 adults (mom and two adult kids) so one person had to sleep on sleeper sofa. The mattress is so bad - someone just slept on the couch. Place really only works for 2 for sleeping.

Beautiful view and well appointed condo. It is a very relaxing and comfortable home away from home. Decorated very nicely. Comfortable bed and furniture. It has everything you need including beach chairs, beach towels, and snorkel gear. Know that it is on the second floor and there is no elevator, but it is has one easy flight of stairs with an exterior entrance which is nice. The lanai/balcony was a great spot to enjoy the view, but neighboring lanai is very close without any screening/separation between the two. The people staying in that neighboring condo could get loud on the lanai at times disrupting our peaceful stay. All and all we have a very pleasing stay and would stay here again. It is conveniently located and an easy walk to Lydgate Beach.

We were very, very happy with the rental. The beach view was stunning, the unit was lovely and very well outfitted, and the location was convenient for exploring all parts of the island. We were impressed with communications with the owner. We took advantage of the walking path to the nearby beach with swimming ponds and the other beach areas right by the complex most every day, while also exploring some other part of the island each day. We would definitely rent this unit again if we return to Kauai.

We brought my sister who is dying of cancer to Hawaii one last time. This condo is beautiful, conveniently located and has a gorgeous sunrise view. We needed wheelchair accessible. This place was great! Small step into the house. Wheelchair doesn't fit down the hall though. That worked for us no problem, but wanted to mention it if that matters for you. The management was super friendly and easy to work with Thank you for the memories!!!

Are stay here started off a little rocky, with somebody earlier that day apparently locking the deadbolt and taking the key with them? The property managers were on top of it and we're waiting for the locksmith to arrive at 4:00 when we came to check in. Unfortunately, we had just stocked up on food at Costco, amegroceries at Costco

Nicely located property with great ocean front views. The place needs some tender loving care as lots of rusty appliances and other accoutrements. Also, the owner could add beach chairs and boogie boards for guests to further enjoy their stay. All that said I would stay again due to perfect location.

We chose this location because is is centrally located with easy access to both the north and south sides of Kauai. We didn't expect to spend much time at Kaha Lani's beach, but we discovered its perfect for morning walks as it stretches over 2 miles bordered by parks and a golf course. We also enjoyed the Smith Family Garden Luau is less than a mile away.

Chad was excellent communicating local info with us and condo was exactly as described. Location convenient to the island.

Beach convenient and we just walked down with it beach chairs most days!
