Kaha Lani Reviews


Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our 3rd time to Kauai & 2nd at this resort. Unit 325 is direct ocean front therefore a beautiful breeze flows through the space. Listen to the waves all night you may even choose to forgo the comfortable King bed to sleep on the pull out sofa which is also comfy. It’s a great centrally located spot to travel around the island. Great snorkelling right out front!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This updated one bedroom condo had the best ocean view. Our condo was well equipped with all the necessities to make our stay comfortable, it was also well equipped with beach equipment. We did lose hot water, but maintenance had it fixed right away. My only suggestions would be to hire a window cleaner so that we can enjoy the views through the windows and to add a guestbook and literature on activities around the island. Would definitely stay here again, regardless.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A perfect location for watching the ocean - and chickens. This property is nestled between Lydgate Park and Lydgate campgrounds. Having the oceanfront path easily accessible was a plus. Sunrises were magnificent. Ground level unit was very nice to have for the mobility challenged. Unit 118 could use some TLC. It was clean and comfortable. Very hard to find when we arrived at 8:00pm in the dark. A toilet seat was broken but replaced the very next day when it was reported, yay! Many of the window louvres were either not operable or broken. An unplugged lamp in the twin bed room had no bulb and a wall outlet behind one bed was gutted leaving exposed wires. Just some pretty basic updates could make 118 a joy. I wonder if those things could have been taken care of instead of the cost of the huge 65" TV?

Loved the location. We love the beach so was close to many different beaches for swimming on the East and South of the island. So many great restaurants within a couple miles. Would definitely recommend a rental car if going anywhere. Condo was clean and as described. Management co. was responsive to questions and accommodating. Appliances worked great and laundry was convenient in the next building.

Kaha Lani is in a prime location, being almost central to Kauai. The ocean views are incredible, and the sunrises are brilliant. Walking the Lydgate path and going to Lydgate Park to swim is a great bonus if you aren't adept at big surf wave breaks. If you think you need air con, this is not your unit. However, getting acclimatized and being happy with the ocean breeze and fans is easy. Also, #109 is right in front of the pool, which makes evening Tiki Torch swims super convenient. Great Hosts.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Check in was easy, Condo was in a fantastic location to see the entire island . My husband felt that the TV should have been mounted on the wall and larger and the ice maker didn’t work. Bed was a bit uncomfortable and so was the living room furniture but we spent most of our time exploring the island so it was not a big deal. Condo was a bit warm due to no AC but we made due with the fans. Security Guard was a very nice man and gave us recommendations on where to eat close by. Pool was nice as well. One last thing, the floor should probably be replaced with some LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank) because when it rains, it comes in the windows and the flooring is damaged due to this. Overall, I would stay again and I would recommend due to the view and location.

Our family of 5 loved our stay at Kaha Lani #216. We’ve stayed at other units here before, and 216 is very well appointed in comparison. We had everything we could have ever needed in the kitchen (coffee makers and coffee grinder, blender, toaster, rice cooker, all the pots, pans, dishes, cooking utensils you could want), and great beds, towels, fans, and beach gear. The condo is centrally located to anything you could want to do, including beachfront access to watch every morning’s stunning sunrise with sand between your toes. We walked to Lydgate park to snorkel most mornings, and spent every afternoon/evening at the property’s pool. The Kaha Lani is a beautiful property, and unit 216 was a beautiful place to call home for a couple of weeks.

This property has it all. We had an excellent experience, the unit had everything we needed. The kitchen had all the necessities, we just had to get food. It's a short walk to the beautiful beach, where we spent most of our days. Most of the time, we had it to ourselves. The water is wonderful. The unit was comfortable and spacious. The bed was so comfortable, we slept well all week. The property manager checked in with us throughout our stay and we appreciated that. We met Steve, who works as security for the property. He as charming, helpful and so adorable. Great ambassador for the property. We would definitely go back and recommend to all of our family and friends. :)

This unit was clean, well appointed, conveniently located and easily accessible second level, (half a flight of stairs). There is a nice pool and a beach with (depending on the surf) swimmable ocean. The sunrise views were amazing. And I used the complex pool for physical therapy. Perfect for us. We stayed a week, should've made it longer. Aloha and Mahalo.

It was our first trip to Kauai and this condo is centrally located in Wailua area which made it easy to visit the rest of the island. I loved that the unit has two bathrooms - a big plus even for two people. The second one has more sink and storage space so we used that one mainly and used the other one for showering. The beach towels, snorkel gear, beach chairs etc. were a huge plus that we took advantage of. The pool is super nice and not too busy - we would go for a swim at the end of each day surrounded by tiki torches! The view is gorgeous and we rose every morning in time to see the sunrise. Keep in mind there is no elevator and there are 3 flights of stairs to climb up and down to access the condo. We loved our stay and Barry was super responsive if we had any questions.

We absolutely loved staying here, everything was beautiful, and clean, and the view and noise from the ocean was just as we hoped it would be and the bed was extremely comfortable! The lack of an air conditioner was noticeable, but we kept the windows open to enjoy the trade winds and it was great to have the moist ocean breeze the whole day and night to cool us.

The location of the property was perfect, centrally located and close to the airport, a good starting point to explore the rest of the island. The view from our lanai was amazing! the beach in front of the complex is nice and secluded, the surf was a little rough for swimming. We were close to Lydgate Beach which was wonderful and had a great swimming area. We wished the condo had AC as it was warm and humid. There were cieling fans and 2 oscillating fans that did help (we had maintenance fix the cieling fan in the bedroom). We purchased 2 more oscillating fans at Walmart which helped a lot (we returned them the night before we left). There are lots of chickens and roosters on the property and the rest of the island for that matter. The roosters do crow very early but we were able to sleep just fine.

There were no beach chairs available. Had to go to Costco and buy chairs. Very annoyed. On site management said it was not their problem but was not willing to give me owners number so I could complain. Unable to contact owner through VRBO site

This property is in a great location for exploring the island and viewing sunrises. The grounds on the property were very well kept. The rental itself was disappointing. It was old and dated. It needed more than a regular clean. It needed a deep in every room. All of the appliances need to be replaced. Most concerning was a smoke detector that kept going off (while no cooking was being done) and we were texted to disconnect it. We were expecting someone to come and fix it, apparently it wasn't a priority for them. This property has lots of potential, but didn't meet our expectations.

We had a very nice stay at this beachfront condo. Great view and well kept grounds. The unit was clean. It was a bit tight for a family of 4, but as advertised. Nice location and especially close to Smith Family Luau, which we enjoyed. Lots of chickens on the grounds, which were loud in the mornings. Overall, great stay.

From our moment of our arrival we knew this place was special. The roosters greeted us, the view from the lanai was incredible, the sunrises were inspiring. We ate meals on the lanai, the kitchen has everything you need and the Safeway is only a few miles away in Kapaa. We were the only ones laying out on the beach each day, no one within 100 yards, However, the swimming beach is about a 5 minute walk. Having 2 bathrooms and a separated bedroom was a plus. There is a small homeless encampment about 1/4 mile on the road near Lyngate park but there were no issues. The management provided not only easy directions for check in but also important island information, road closures, beach safety etc. Beach chairs, umbrella, towels, beach mats and a small cooler were also provided. Thank you for a lovely stay, we will be back!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The condo is right in front of the beach which provided for spectacular sunrises and moon rises. Watching and hearing the ocean waves was beautiful. The only one thing that we missed was going swimming in the ocean right in front of the condo. The ocean is too rough here so they say not to swim. The Portuguese Man of Wars also float in from time to time. The protected and lifeguarded beach a 5 min. walk from the condo ( Lydgate Park) is a good place for a little swim, however a better swim beach close by beach is a 10 min. drive to the bay where the cruise ships enter just by the airport in Lihue. You can also paddle or surf there. You need a car to get places, but there are so many things to do in each direction from the condo as well as right in the area. The condo is in a quiet area (except for the roosters!) and it is in a well kept and well run complex. Steve, the security guard, is very helpful also! We enjoyed eating dinners on the deck with the candle lanterns and the constant breeze helps to keep the condo livable. It isn’t air conditioned but it has ceiling fans and two portable fans and is very comfortably furnished. The kitchen is well stocked and we left a lighter for the bbq in case the igniter doesn’t work-which happened to us. We took advantage of the pool which is great also. I would recommend this condo as conveniently located to drive to all parts of the island. Thanks for a great trip!

The positives: THE VIEW! Spectacular! Needs improvement: The inside pictures on the listing are NOT what you're getting. Was advertised as a 2 king bed 2 bath. We walked in to a king and 2 twin beds. I called, and they said they would push the 2 twins together to make a king, which they did. A minor hassle. We were asked if we "requested" 2 king beds. I didn't know we had to request it since it was listed that way? The kitchen cabinets are falling off and in disrepair. The stainless steel appliances were rusty from the salt water.. understandable but looks like garbage. Any food on the top shelf of the fridge will freeze. Maybe it's time for a new one. (We had a 10 day stay and we're not left with enough paper essentials such as paper towels, garbage bags and toilet paper). For the price, I would think all of these essentials would be included. There aren't any spices, oil, ice cube trays etc. be prepared to buy your own. Overall the furniture was dated and not comfortable at all. Glad we spent most of our time out adventuring. The roosters will wake you up loudly every morning right outside the bedroom windows so hopefully you don't want to sleep in. The pool was average, no hot tub. The beach access walkway out front had caved in and was roped off, you could get around it but an eye sore. The beach is beautiful, rugged and only swimmable if you're a strong swimmer. Would I stay again? Probably not.

Quite comfortable and a prime location for ocean views. Just above the pool which was extra nice to enjoy the flaming tikis. Condo was just as pictured,, extra fans provided additional air circulation. We had beach chairs and towels provided.We dined on the lanai balcony with padded chairs, and reclined on the relaxing lounge chairs. Impeccable grounds, superb location from airport and Costco.

We had a wonderful stay at Kahalani! This condo was well stocked inside and out! Comfy beds, plenty of linens, all of the beach accessories we needed including a nice cooler, boogie board, toys, chairs. It’s the little things that this host nails, like having ziploc bags, foil, more than just the basic spices, plenty of delicious coffee, nice detergent and well working in unit laundry. Plenty of fans, although we never felt too hot here. Very pleasant stay. We loved the proximity to the beach. The beach in front of Kahalani felt safe for our 7 & 3 year olds to enjoy with us, but the body surfing was really fun for the adults. And, bonus, we had the beach to ourselves. It’s a great location for people that like to enjoy the North and South Shores without having such long drives to either! We will be back!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Bruce and LeAyn’s Hale. The Kai Nani property is beautiful and located on a walking path right above the beach. Sunrises were beautiful and we love watching the chickens and cats running around. The condo itself is very homey and comfortable. Lots of space and probably the largest lanai I’ve had at any vacation rental. There were a few nit picky cleanliness things that the cleaners could improve on, but not anything that would detract from me booking the same spot again. It’s not located in the most walkable area in terms of getting to shops and restaurants, but the beach is right there and it was a quick drive from the airport to the property - a nice thing if you arrive in the evening/night! For how close it is to the airport, we expected more noise and were pleasantly surprised with how quiet it was.

Kaha Lani is beautiful, quiet and centrally located to everything on the island. This is our second time staying, and we love the amenities such as beach, pool and onsite laundry. Views from this oceanfront condo cannot be beat! You will enjoy coffee every morning on the lanai. However, be prepared to sweat all week, as the fans provided are inadequate for ventilation and airflow, especially in the bedroom. Overall a lovely stay and we cannot wait to return to heavenly Kauai!

What an amazing place to stay! We were given advice to stay in 2 different parts of the island for our 2 week vacation. Chad’s place (as we lovingly named it) was everything we hoped for. It is on the West side of the island which really is the middle of the island. It’s a great central point. Everything is new and up to date and was CLEAN. I, as a women, get extremely irritated if I go on vacation and find I have to CLEAN a VRBO before I can relax in it (this was the case in the second place we stayed). The lanai/patio was amazing. No need for air conditioning - just open the doors and the lovely sea ocean cools the place down beautifully. The ocean is right in front of the building. The sound of the waves were so relaxing. The sun rises were phenomenal. It had all the amenities to cook since we eat a restricted diet. Also, every beach amenity we needed was provided: towels, comfortable chairs, an umbrella, boogie boards, etc. The serious difference in this rental was Chad has thought of everything. He is invested in making this an amazing experience for his guests. This isn’t some place an owner in another state hasn’t invested anything back into the property and is trying to squeak out every last dime they can before they sell it. I almost didn’t want to write this review because I don’t want people to know what a gem it is, so it is vacant next time I go! Kauai is beautiful and relaxing and Chad’s place was a highlight to our trip!

Every morning included a beautiful sunrise from the lanai and a walk on the beach to the swimming area just a block north.

Beautiful island, beautiful condo.

The accommodations were dated and need an update. Labels all over the place giving instructions made us feel uncomfortable. One said the couch was weak so don’t lean on the arm. How about replacing the couch instead. Dishwasher doesn’t dry so we had to do that manually. We had to strip beds before we left. What was the cleaning fee for? The letter about the break ins was a very concerning way to start our stay, especially with the unsecured way we picked up the keys. Not very well stocked kitchen. VRBO in Maui had sugar, spices and even coffee. Not a very welcoming experience!

This was our first stay in Kauai and fell in love with the island. We weren’t sure which part of the island to stay, but after exploring during our trip, we realized we found a gem of a place. The location is great to be able to launch out and see all the different areas in Kauai. It was peaceful and and great place to unwind from our busy schedules. We really enjoyed Lydgate beach for swimming, which is very close. We rented bikes and rode the coastal trail several mornings, which was spectacular. There are enough activities nearby for you to do as much or as little as you want. Barry was very responsive and great to work with. The bed was very comfortable to sleep in and the place was clean and well stocked with the essentials. The washer and dryer in the unit was nice to have during our week stay so packing light is easy to do. The community was quiet and very peaceful at night. We are already thinking about when we can get away again for another visit!

This property is wonderful. Nestled between two parks, both within walking distance. Small beach within walking distance. Condo has an unobstructed view of the ocean from the balcony which has a large seating area. Beautiful sunrises and sounds of the surf 24/7. Inside the condo had everything thing we needed to enjoy our stay. We had an issue with one of the ceiling fans but the property manager took care of it in a timely manner

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, our stay was quite pleasant, despite the fact that on the second day the refrigerator started breaking down and we lost much of our perishable food items. The management company was prompt in their response. The kitchen could use some additional gadgets, such as a garlic press, additional regular sized wine glasses, beer bottle opener. The lanai door needs to be fixed, as well as one of the louver drives. But the apt location was unbeatable.

This property was the best beachfront place I ever stayed in. It had everything that you needed for your vacation. It had beach chairs, boogie board, cooler and umbrella for the beach. Lydgate beach was walking distance. Great for easy snorkeling. The decor was very tastefully done. Did I mention beachfront, open the lanai doors and sleep to the sound of the wave. It had the best sunrise ever.

Beautiful ocean view and comfortable lanai to take it all in. Halfway between the sights on the north and south side of Kauai. Delightful swimming beach within a short stroll. Owner thoughtfully provides beach chairs, cooler etc

I really enjoyed the location of this property. It made travel to any stores really quick, as well as central to the North and South shore for day trips. Our favorite part was the Lydgate Beach Park which has playgrounds as well as two ocean swimming pools that were great for our kids!

We traveled with our 2 tween sons and the Lihue condo worked really well for us. With the 2 bedrooms and sofa bed everyone had their own space. The condo was clean and had everything we needed (including a bunch of beach stuff we didn't know we needed). Ocean views are spectacular, central location makes touring easy, and Lydgate park is right next door. However, the two bedrooms are not equivalent so I would not advise staying here with 2 couples thinking it is a "2 master bedroom" situation. The upstairs bedroom is spacious with gorgeous ocean view and a wall of louvered windows to bring in the ocean breeze. The adjacent bathroom is also spacious and recently updated. The downstairs bedroom is much smaller, with a small, dated bathroom (clean, but definitely meh) and limited airflow. It got rather hot down there, even with 2 portable fans and the ceiling fan running nonstop. With the single window open we could hear people talking outside the laundromat (vs ocean sounds in the room upstairs). Not necessarily a deal breaker, but definitely something to consider based on who you are traveling with.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was recommended we stay here by friends. It was more secluded & away from torist crowds but good central location to get to reach both sides of island & many close shoppes & restaurants. Not luxurious but accomodated all our needs. We wanted a kitchen & this one was well equipped. A word of caution, just because dishes had been put away, I would rewash before use. Was not fond of the scratched teflon pans but otherwise plenty of cookware & storage containers. Fairly clean but I wiped up a spot off the floor when we arrived & paper towel was pretty dirty. I think it's a pretty superficial clean between guests. Humidity & salt water is rough on aa property but this one needed a deep cleaning. Bathrooms were clean. Laundry services worked, grills didn't. All that being said, I would stay at this vacation rental again. Choose 2nd or 3rd floor for best view.

The unit was on par with other condos we've rented on the islands in the past. Everything worked and it was clean, though I could write my name in the film on the coffee table glass. If you like to cook, the cutlery was also on par with other condos, i.e. atrocious. A paring knife and bread knife from a Henkels Twin set were the best pieces, the provided sharpener was worn out and no help on the larger pieces. Bring your own chef knives. You'll probably find enough cookware to muddle through. There are two 3-burner Weber grills on the property, which saw a lot of use. We did enough grilling and smoking over the summer that we didn't use them during our stay. There are two baths, which is unusual and appreciated, even with only two staying there. The unit is not as large as the pix at VRBO seem, not a criticism; it was plenty large enough for the two of us, just adjust your expectations. Unlike other places we've stayed, the provided key code is for the key pad is built into the door's deadbolt. One less thing to worry about losing at the beach; it took about a day to memorize the code. There is a coded key lockbox for a physical key near the door, but it's not used, at least not by guests. The view from the unit was magnificent: pool in foreground, then wide well kept lawn bordered by palms, then the south end of Lydgate beach, and the ocean. Nice to have the beach so close, that's a bit of a luxury. The pool was kept very clean.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Roomy unit with comfy beds. We spent 5 nights here and found everything we needed! Unit provided laundry pods, dishwasher pods, coffee, a few cookies, even beach towels and a great cold fridge. We loved the location and the view. There was a strong ocean breeze through the unit when we opened all the windows. Furnishings lovely, beds comfy.

Pictures looked better than the reality. However, I understand due to beach front location and moisture things can smell like old stinky wood and dirty sand. Location was close to lydegate beach which was cool. I don’t want to bash as we did enjoy the location and place was okay. However the upstairs room was unbearably hot. Even swamp coolers would’ve made a huge difference. The place is in need of renovation. Screen door was torn, cabinets smell like old rotting wood, owner doesn’t let you use their washer and dryer and insteads makes you use laundry mat. For the price it was underwhelming and we would choose other options going forward. Owner could improve if she opened up the washer and dryer, put some money into some renovations, and bought some portable AC units for corner of rooms.

We loved staying at this property. The easy access to beaches, main roads, restaurants, and the airport makes this a perfect location. The grounds are very neat and clean, the local cats and of course the Kauai chickens are fun to watch and as a bonus you don’t need an alarm. The condo was exactly as described, very clean, well maintained and very well appropriated with everything you need plus beach gear. The bed is comfortable, there’s a great breeze all night long and you are far enough off the road that you don’t hear any traffic at night.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Unit 121 was ocean front! We were pleased to see it was stocked with many essentials upon arrival.(toilet paper, paper towels, salt and pepper etc...)Check in and out was very easy. We really liked the location on the east side making it easy to drive north or south. We we disappointed with the cleanliness of the unit when we arrived particularly the bathroom and kitchen. We stayed for 9 nights and there were not enough linens for 9 nights! 1 kitchen dishcloth? 2 washcloths and 2 bath towels per person is not enough for 9 nights. An extra set of sheets would be nice for the guest for even if you are careful, sand gets in the sheets when you are beach front! The ceiling fans do not seem to have a high and don’t move much air. Maintenance may want to take a look at them.

We had such a great time here (our 2nd time). We loved the location, the beach, the pool with bbq area, the walking path to the park, and the condo. The place was clean, well stocked kitchen, views from the deck were beautiful, and the on'-sight laundry mat were convenient. They also have on-sight security. Definitely a place to stay. We will be back!!

Talk about a great place to stay. Words can't fully express how great this property is. From the wonderful layout of the unit to the views. This unit is more than comfortable for four guests. A short walk to the pool, and just past the pool is the ocean. With the golf course just down the road one way and one of the great swimming beaches just up the road. This was a great place for my wife and I to enjoy the island and what it has to offer. Leaving the property and driving either way across the island, you are in easy access to both great restaurants and grocery stores. We will return.

Overall this unit had everything we needed. It was nice to have a separate floor for my kids and to have 2 bathrooms. We utilized the kitchen for cooking meals. Also it was a plus to have beach chairs and an umbrella to use. The property was in a good central location for visiting different areas of the island. It was also mostly quiet (except for roosters). The living room furniture felt a little worn and unclean. It was hard for me to not have a/c while sleeping at night.

Amazing views! Nice grounds and staff. Very well appointed unit with comfortable beds and great kitchen. No AC is expected and with trade winds plus the provided fans you can keep it comfortable. Stay at the unit and relax on the Lanai and pool or use as a home base to explore all Kauai has to offer this place was top notch!

My stay at this condo was pretty awesome. I couldn't have beat the location or the views that it provided. Centrally located was probably the best decision that I could have made when picking this property. I would definitely, hands down come back again. Thanks for the opportunity and the memories!!
