Lae Nani

A gated, low-rise complex where lanais look over a garden lawn, a big saltwater pool and a small sheltered beach, with Coconut Marketplace and a beachfront bar a short walk away. Best for families with young kids and island explorers who can handle stairs and partial AC.

What guests say

Guests love

  • Botanical-garden grounds. Guests love the lush, carefully kept landscaping, the springy lawn running down to the sand and the tiki torches lit at night.
  • Keiki pool on a quiet beach. A small, uncrowded beach with a rock-walled baby pool suits little kids, and a few guests watched monk seals or a turtle from the sand.
  • Saltwater pool by the ocean. The large pool sits steps from the beach, is cleaned daily and is big enough for laps, with shared grills close by.
  • Walk to dinner and the coast path. Coconut Marketplace, the Lava Lava Beach Club with live music and an oceanfront walking and bike path are all minutes away on foot.

Worth knowing

  • AC is often bedroom-only. Many units cool only the bedrooms and some have none, so living areas can get hot and humid in summer, especially upstairs - check each listing.
  • Walk-ups with no elevator. Buildings rise to three stories with no elevator and parking on the street side, so expect to carry luggage and groceries up the stairs.
  • Open water can be rough. Several guests found the waves too strong for real swimming at times; the keiki pool and the pool fill in, and some drive elsewhere to snorkel.
  • Some daytime and night noise. A few reviews mention loud gardening equipment, roosters and nesting shearwaters that cry at night, though most call it quiet.
Choosing a unit: Ground-floor units open straight onto the lawn, pool and beach with no stairs, while third-floor units get wider views in exchange for a walk-up climb and, by several accounts, more afternoon heat.

Had the best time- the perfect vacation, the friendliest & easiest process! We LOVE the location- the location of the room , and also Lea Nani in general. The condo had everything we needed & was plenty spacious! The sand is more pebbly- grainy than other beaches, but we had no problem playing in it! We will definitely be back at this exact spot!

The property was absolutely wonderful. Everything was clean and met our expectations. The hosts were very easy to reach and were able to help with anything we had questions about. We will definitely stay at this property again!!

This property is in perfect location . Walking distance to everything. Would love to stay in Lae Nani again . -Needs some basic upgrades , Lani needs little cleaning you can see the dirt as they haven't been cleaned, table can use some paint touch or to a new set you see see detering from salt water damage. -Room walls needs some wiping you can see the marks or the dirt on the walls some of the cabinets inside needs to be cleaned as you can see the dirt and the stains on the sleeves . These are just the basic cleaning other than that this unit is in a perfect location for a size of a family of five it's a perfect location like I said perfect spot for everything is a walking distance anyone with the kids I would highly recommend staying here.

It’s all in the details. Often rentals have good locations or views, but fall short on the small things that make a stay comfortable. In addition, I often wonder if I need to bring things from home or not. This condo had many of the small things that I appreciated, and I’ll share that here. First, I think the description and photos that they provided are pretty accurate. We were here with our adult kids and grandkids. We really liked the close proximity to the pool and the very easy walk to the beach. There’s a sheltered swim area that was great for the kids, at least at low tide. The house was comfortable, especially with the Air conditioning in the bedroom. The a/c doesn’t cool the whole condo, but there are lots of fans. The kitchen is well stocked. Tons of plates, bowls, glasses. Lots of ice cube trays. They have a coffee grinder and pot, but did NOT have any starting supply of coffee which I thought was weird. Also had most normal small appliances. The bedroom closet had a bunch of good stuff: 2-boogie boards, 3-beach sand chairs, beach umbrella, small rain umbrella, pool floating chair, a bucket of sand toys, pool noodle, large cooler with ice packs, ironing board with iron, hangers, and a basket of misc other stuff. The Murphy bed was comfortable and easy to use. The regular bed was also comfortable. Two bathrooms, but only one shower. TP and shampoo were terrible, bring your own. Nice supply of reading and Kauai reference books. Overall, very nice rental.

The property was very well situated for pool use, access to the beach, and a walk way along the ocean. It was close to restaurants and food shopping. Kitchen had some useful spices, oils, and tea as well as pots and pans to prepare meals.

We truly enjoyed our stay here! The energy and vibe is so relaxing and happy! The condo had everything we needed and was very comfortable. It was easy to walk to get Acai bowls and Malasadas and there is a market within walking distance as well which was convenient. We would definitely stay here again, it’s a little slice of heaven on earth.

Thank you! We loved our stay. The house was clean and had an amazing view. We enjoyed the small swimming spot out front in the evenings and coffee on the lanai in the morning! We hope to be back!
