This was my second time in Hawaii, first on Kaui'i. The island is definitely quieter than Maui or Oahu, and the scenery is amazing! As far as the property itself, it feels a little older and dated, but was comfortable and seemed well maintained. The beach was easily reached, the sand was soft, and there were very few people there. It was not a swimming or snorkeling beach as the waves are very strong here, but the public beach is easily reached by walking and there is a reef there that makes it safe and comfortable. This beach is more a sitting, reading, relaxing, and walking beach. There was, unfortunately, quite a bit of trash on sections we walked to, which made us sad to see. The only negative we have is something that cannot be easily remedied, namely the roosters! Hurricane Iniki apparently damaged a lot of chicken coops, leaving a large feral chicken population on the island. And these roosters are not on the same time zone as the island. One seemed to always be crowing at 3 AM! And since this unit is not air conditioned (who needs that on Hawaii, after all?), we had the windows opened. Despite that, my wife says this was her favorite place we stayed of the three islands we were on, due to the overall quiet and comfortable nature of the resort. Chad was very good as a host, and since our flight home left at 7:30 PM, we were able to stay an extra half day (for a small fee), which was a very very good thing!Thank you for a wonderful stay.

A spacious, sparkling clean, recently renovated condo in a private and quiet location with a breathtaking ocean view. Lovely and comfortable furnishings with a well provisioned kitchen. Easy beach access and the owner stocked the condo with all the beach amenities one could ask for…chairs, coolers, snorkels, fins, umbrellas. The pool looked great, however we preferred to swim in the ocean which is only a few steps away. The condo location gives you easy access to both North and South side of the island and the perfect location for bicycling on the Kauai coastal bike path. Great restaurants and oceanfront bars are very close by. We are definitely coming back and we highly recommend staying at this condo.

We love staying at KAHA LANI. This is our second time staying. The location is perfectly secluded and still beach front. The floor to ceiling windows brings in the wonderful ocean breeze. We will be coming back to this place! Mahalo for your hospitality!

Couldn’t have been happier with our 10 day stay. Great central location, loved the fact there were 2 bathrooms, view was fantastic, owner was above responsive and enjoyed the welcoming gifts. Having beach chairs and cooler was a definite plus. Thanks for having such a well stocked condo.

After camping all around Kaua’i for 10 days, it was the perfect end to our trip to stay at Kaha Lani. My aunt came over from Maui, and we all enjoyed the short stroll from the condo to the beach sand to watch a few sunrises together.

This property was quiet, beautiful, and had everything we needed. The ocean directly in front was a bit rough and not great for swimming but it was a short walk to Lydgate beach where this was possible. The other thing I should say is that there is no A/C in this unit which would make a very hot summer but for March it was okay. Really loved all the condo had to offer and the fact that it had a fully stocked kitchen for cooking. I would definitely recommend this facility.

We had an amazing time here. The location is perfect for little kids. Heater pool at the condo and then 5 min walk to a beach set up for kids with two huge parks. Who could ask for more. The condo itself is stocked with everything we needed and we added a couple extra toys for kids. We'll definitely be back.

This was our second stay at this resort, but the first in this unit. The furnishings and overall appearance of the unit are modern and attractive. The view overlooks the pool, two gas BBQs and the ocean. It is close to the airport and Kapaa, and Lihue is just a bit farther away. It is centrally located for longer trips to Princeville/Hanalei or the south shore. There are two things you should be aware of.There is some sort of waste processing plant about 1/2 mile north of the resort. Normally not an issue but we had several evenings when the wind changed from the NE to the W and could smell the plant for about an hour.There is a large soccer field literally across the fence from the property. There were a few games each evening and many games going on at the same time on Saturdays. You can hear the parents and grandparents cheering their little ones on but is only a minor distraction.We found these to be minor issues and would definitely stay in this unit again.

We had a great time and enjoyed the condo It was clean, quiet and was well stocked I wish I could take the breeze home with me, it was so nice to sleep with the windows open It would have been nice if there were umbrellas around the pool for shade Marcy told us about a great bike trail; which we did and it wasn’t disappointing I would recommend the condo and the resort to all my friends

We loved this property! It was in walking distance to Lydgate beach which allowed us to stroll the beach every morning to watch the sunset. Perfect swimming area for our kid and central to the island which allowed us to get to all of our activities in less then 30 minutes! The space was great with tons of room. I actually think the pictures don’t do it justice.

Sitting on the balcony and listening to the ocean and watching the sun come up was breathtaking. This was our first time on Kauai. Such a beautiful Island! We loved the place. Great communication with owner when we had questions. There were a couple of issues but

We really enjoyed our stay here. The listing was just as described, though always feels smaller than pictures make it look. I wouldn’t want to stay here with four people, but it was perfect for two. The property grounds were immaculate and the whole area was removed enough from the road and town to make it feel so quiet and remote. We loved being able to just step out the doors to the beach or pool. Self checkin made for a really easy arrival and there was everything we needed to enjoy our stay, including beach chairs and towels. We would most definitely book this particular unit again.

My husband and I visited our daughter, who is living in Oahu for a week. She had expressed that Kauai is her favorite island, so the 3 of us stayed at this VRBO for 3 nights.This VRBO is a perfect location as it is "center" along the only road that will take you through most of the island. We kept very busy the 4 days we were in Kauai and therefore didn't get to spend much time at the VRBO, besides sleeping. We did have most of our dinners and breakfasts at the VRBO. The kitchen was very nicely stocked with all of our cooking/grilling needs. (Could use the full range of measuring cups though)The upstairs bedroom has ocean view and my daughter loved sleeping to the sound of waves every night. The main floor bedroom has a nice king sized bed, but the windows face the parking lot. In Hawaii, chickens are everywhere! The first night, we had the windows open in the bedroom and were awakened many times throughout the night to the roosters crowing. Did you know that roosters don't just crow at sunrise?! Therefore, the next 2 nights, the main level bedroom windows were shut and we slept peacefully but a little warm as there is no AC.Overall, this VRBO met all of our expectations! We wish we could've stayed longer and relaxed at the VRBO!

They have EVERYTHING full kitchen just like at your own house…even a crockpot, nice laundry just a short walk away and cheap 4.00 a load per wash the 4 to dry. Maybe 30 steps to your own little beach area, little rough to swim in but nice beach, they have everything for the beach as well. They even have a community grill you can use, we did a lot of grilling. Very nice , comfortable place to stay, nice walk paths as well

This is a lovely and well-equipped third floor property with magnificent, sweeping views of the ocean. We particularly enjoyed watching the sunrise each morning while sipping coffee and planning our day. Accessing the paved walking path and the beach was easy from the beautifully maintained grounds and we loved that Lydgate beach was so close. We are already talking about a return trip - this time with our two grandsons. Thank you, Chad for making our 40th anniversary so memorable.

We rented the unit for a week in January 2025. We didn't want to leave! It's a fantastic location and view for morning sunrise coffee. I was also eager each day to enjoy the colors of the clouds at sunset on the generously sized balcony. This unit is very nicely updated and well equipped with everything you could need. We loved the high top table on the balcony for clear ocean views and appreciated use of a cooler and beach chairs for our day outings. The tradewinds made the unit cool and comfortable and the location on the east side was convenient for easily exploring the north and south sides of the island. The path directly in front of the unit provided a nice option for walks at any time of day.The property manager was very quick to respond to our questions. If I ever have the pleasure of visiting Kauai again, I would not hesitate to rent this unit again.

Overall a very good experience. Condo was excellent and exactly as advertised. Ocean view was BEST EVER. It could not have been improved.Location is central to the island which also makes it very convenient to go both directions with ease.The one item that is worth mentioning is that the BBQ's were at other end of resort, in terrible condition and basically not useable. A third grill was located in the parking lot and also needed repair. Property Management is NOT taking care of these grills.Overall, very quiet (which we like) and our unit was very well stocked with dishes and cooking utensils. Clean, quiet and peaceful.Also worth mentioning that there is a homeless encampment on the edge of the property towards the golf course (public park area) but we experienced no issues at all walking through or near that area. Homeless citizens were observed many locations on the island so it's not just this area.Finally, we would highly recommend this unit and these condos for those that want quiet, with a great view.

The ocean view from this condo is fantastic! We loved the constant fresh breezes and the sound of the waves. The location is great with easy access to Lydgate Park and my favorite hike, Sleeping Giant. The condo is spacious, clean and very well equipped with everything. Highly recommend!

The condo is in a great location with great view of the ocean. It's only a short walk across a lawn to a quiet beach and the sound of the surf was ever present. The unit is set up with louvered windows which allow air flow from front to back and with fans and the sea breezes we did not feel the need for air conditioning. The one issue we had was with repair work going on on the building. We were not informed of this ahead of time. It was noisy and intrusive and eventually we had to vacate and find another unit to rent for the last part of our stay. The property manager we rented through, Garden Island Properties, told us that they did not have any control over the work and had not been informed. The building manager, Castle Properties, should have been more considerate of people's privacy and expectation of a quiet vacation.

..... than this 2-bedroom Gem!!This is our second time in Kauai, and between our first 2-week trip here a few years back and this one, along with much travel around the island on both occasions, you simply cannot beat the location of so called Coconut Coast while staying on the island of Kauai!!(that is for starters) The location of the resort itself and then then the location of the 2-bedroom unit within that resort simply cannot be beat.This unit is, and will continue to be in high demand, and if availability happens to come your way, grab it!Did someone say Private Beach!! OK - maybe a slight exaggeration; but not far off. Walk with your coffee across the beautiful landscaped grounds to a spectacular strip of beach that runs as far as the eye can see and enjoy the sounds of the ocean waves as you relax and park all of your worries back home.Or, if you are a runner (as I am), enjoy a daily barefoot run on the packed sand from the waves, whether it be at high tide or low, or anytime in between. How peaceful is that?? Now, even though this beach stretches for miles to the south, the ideal running on the packed stuff is a 3 km strip out and 3 km back, giving you an incredible 6 km outing. I'm telling you - you practically own the beach! On one occasion, I did have to run around a Monk Seal sunning itself on the beach, but other than that just the ocean and the peacefulness around you to enjoy while on your walk or run.Chad is a top notch host! Grab this place!

We were very pleased with the accommodations! The hosts went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The view of the ocean from the balconies was stunning - we enjoyed watching the sunrise each morning. The beach is very soft sand and felt secluded. It is probably a 1/4 mile walk at most from the unit to the beach access path.
