We can’t believe that the property was identical to photos- this was the best place, in the best location, with the most incredible bed and pillows ever!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

The Lae Nani resort is the gem of Wailua Bay and this condo is one of the best. It is a third floor gem with expansive view of the bay and an extremely functional kitchen. The bedroom A/C is a plus. Close proximity to the walking/bike trail and the Coconut Marketplace.

Amazing views and sounds of the ocean front condo. This place was perfect for my daughter & I. Incredible beach decor and very comfy beds. Well stocked with everything we could possibly need. Included all the beach items too! Completely exceeded our expectation. The grounds were gorgeous, nice and quiet. Will absolutely stay again. :)

This is our 2nd time staying at this condo. It's the perfect walkable location with beach access steps away and amazing views from the balcony. It's the ideal space for a couple, with the bonus of the extra half bathroom. The kitchen has everything you'll need. Shopping for groceries and a handful of restaurant options only steps away at the Coconut Marketplace. Kapa'a is the perfect location in our opinion and we will be back! Kirsten is the perfect host with speedy communication and Bernadette does an excellent job onsite. Thanks again!

We enjoyed every moment of our week long stay at this accommodation. Instructions and contact from owner was wonderful. Position of apartment was perfect with both the pool facilities and our own beach within steps of our stay. Also we were within walking distance to restaurants and facilities which was a plus.

Love the first floor location!. The unit feels small and is very dark...very much like a cave. Two things could go a long way to improve the feel. The walls are dark grey in color, we would choose a lighter color (some kind of off-white) for the walls. We would remove one of the two hide-a-bed couches to open up a very crowded living space. The toilet paper holders are mounted too far behind and too close to the user. Very hard to reach the toilet paper for taller people. The holders create a situation for people to smack their elbows on the holder because they are so close. Proper placement on the wall would be more ergonomic for the user. Beautiful grounds and with excellent access to the water and sunrises!

What an amazing place to stay on this beautiful island! The location is perfect, close to shopping, awesome restaurants, and the Passion Bakery :) I will miss the sounds of the waves and sitting on the lanai for coffee! Mahalo!

We didn’t spend much time here as we were out exploring a lot but it was the perfect home base. Roughly equi-distant from North and South, walkable to a market and restaurant, lovely, well-maintained setting. Property manager was helpful and quick to respond. A very comfortable place!

We could not have stayed in a more perfect place. The unit was clean and well-stocked with everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable and the breeze that blew, especially at night, made for great sleeping. My mother has mobility issue. She could sit on the Lania looking out over the ocean and pool. The location of the unit was perfect. There is a beautiful walking trail along the ocean that provided great access to Kapaa. I would highly recommend a stay here.

The property is beautiful, well maintained and conveniently located. Our unit was very clean, and had everything we needed. We had an issue with the Internet the first day, but the host was very responsive and had it up and working the following morning. Keep in mind this is a 3rd level unit with no elevator, so could be an issue if you have mobility issues. We will definitely be returning to this property/unit.

This was our second time at the Lae Nani condo complex and once again it did not disappoint. We love this area so much that this time we brought extended family - our group of 12 spread out across three 2-bedroom units. This unit was very comfortable - perfect for our family of 4. Everything was as expected. We had everything we needed for a fun and comfortable stay. Highly recommend and hope to be back!

This was our second stay in this unit. Two couples, one 60+, the other 35+). It is spacious, for when we all needed our own space, but also great for family meals and game night, too! So convenient to the beach, walking/running paths and easy access to all parts of the island. The kitchen is well appointed, and the on-site gas grills are a great amenity. The lanai closet has a great selection of beach and pool toys.

This could easily have been a five star review. The view and grounds are beautiful. There are plenty of shopping and restaurants near by including a wonderful ocean front spot right next door. Being on the west coast provided easy access to the wonders of both the north and south coasts. The apartment was well equipped and the furniture and bed clean and comfortable. Not an issue for us, but bathrooms a bit dated and you need to be able to walk up 3 flights to access the apartment. Also note, there is no air conditioning but it wasn’t needed for our stay… the ceiling fans and the ocean breeze were perfect. Parking a bit tight but always found a spot. All said, I would definitely recommend this place!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed in this condo several times because it is simply the best for 2 people who want to really relax. The location is excellent and the view from the terrace over the meadow to the sea is fantastic. The furnishings are perfect and the air conditioning works well and quietly. But we didn't need them at all because the fans in the rooms were completely sufficient to provide fresh air with the windows open. Everything was super clean and there were enough towels, hygiene products and kitchen accessories. The two showers and the washing machine including dryer are particularly advantageous. This makes the condo also suitable for a longer holiday stay. In the cupboard next to the terrace was all the equipment you would need to visit the other beaches on the island.The proximity to shops and restaurants is very advantageous. We particularly enjoyed dining at Hukilau Lanai and at Jo2. Bobby V's pizza was also very tasty and the fajitas at Monico ́s delicious.

We loved this condo. The Lai Nani property is always great and this unit was perfect for me and my husband. The location and ocean front view was perfect. The condo was well stocked with everything we needed. We used the beach chairs, umbrella and cooler on our beach outings. We enjoyed the pool and the lovely grounds were we could sit in the shade and read. We walked to restaurants including Lava Lava Beach Club which was great. I highly recommend! And we will be back!

I have nothing but great things to say about this rental! The size is perfect for a long term or short term stay. The location was in the perfect spot to travel around the island, feeling as though it was right in the middle of both directions and the airport. The unit itself was so quiet, on the corner, and the walkout was great to head to the beach. Stores were close, parking was super easy, and there’s a beach walk not far! I could go on and on about it, but I will say this- when my husband and I come back to Kauai, this is where we will stay!

We absolutely loved our 4 night stay at this property. The home and grounds were amazing. I really loved the protected swimming area in a cove at the ocean’s edge surrounded by large rocks and tree trunks. Fresh ocean water washed in but no fear of being swept out with the strong current and large waves. The large pool was beautiful but the ocean was a warm 80 degrees and much more fun!! And soooo relaxing!! We will definitely return to this gorgeous townhouse right on the beach and so convenient to excellent restaurants and shopping!

The property was as advertised on VRBO, frankly the photos don't do the view justice. We appreciate the full size washer and dryer, well stocked kitchen but especially the outside closet with all the things you'd need for the beach. Having access to beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, at least 3 boogie boards, pool noodles, etc made the stay extra nice. I appreciate not having to buy that stuff for a trip and then see it end up in the garbage or something. The pool was nice, the beach was great and easy access to restaurants and shopping. We'd stay here again.

The condo what exactly as advertised and provided the ideal atmosphere to celebrate my 60th birthday. A peaceful two-week respite from our busy lives. Watching the sun rise, swimming in the ocean or salt water pool (both were the perfect temperature), shopping at the Coconut Market nearby, eating on the covered lanai ... oh, how we miss Kauai.

Only downside - The portable AC was loud and in the livingroom, needed fans in the bedroom, also loud. We did sleep, but if you're sensitive , may be an issue for you. Also, being an island destination, a couple of beach chairs and cooler wouldve been the icing on the cake.

The property itself and the location were very good - easy to reach from the airport. Easy access to a small beach, some bbqs and a pool. And the view was perfect. Clean and maintained well enough given age. Kitchen appliances all working and modern. Consumables supplied which was a nice touch. A small selection of beach toys were available, and there was ample towels. Within walking distance to Kayak tours, beaches, shops, bars, cafes, etc. Car park usually had space, though this could sometimes be contentious. Internet and TV worked well. Listing mentions no aircon, but didn't find this to be an issue. Decent bed and pillows. Comfortable property overall. Booking and check in was a little fraught, with a light tenancy agreement, a deposit, and codes not supplied until the host was reminded. Main shower not working, which given the additional ensuite showerhead is about 5ft from the ground, wasn't ideal. Found it odd that the host would not know about this prior to our arrival given the cleaners would have presumably had cause to use it. Bedroom noise is frequent in the morning with no way to block it off due to the window type - recommend ear plugs. But overall, was a very nice place to stay, and somewhere we'd be grateful to come back to after a day out exploring.

The view was very nice from our balcony, the kitchen was well supplied. There is no elevator and this unit in on the 3rd floor, so anyone with bad knees, be aware. the unit does not have a central A/C but instead a unit in the living room. There is multiple fans, however, the bedroom and bathroom still become very warm and stuffy. We had both the ceiling fan and floor fans going--all night.

Enjoyed sitting on beach watching the waves. Easy walk to restaurant/bar next door (Lava Lava Beach Club). Would definitely return to this little secluded paradise again!

Beautiful condo that is upgraded nicely. Well furnished, well appointed with games, snorkels, beach chairs, boogie boards, etc. Great location with a very nice pool and beach. Very close to restaurants and shopping. Great View!!! I had two major issues that kept me from giving my overall rating a 5 start. 1) No air conditioning in the 2nd bedroom...diffifcult to sleep at night 2) The blinds in the master bedroom can be seen through so no privacy for you to change. You need to change in the bathroom. Otherwise this was a great condo and location.

November 2023

This property is conveniently located to enjoy the beach, food, shopping, etc. nearby in Kapaa. It is also 1 to 1.5 hours from this location to the furthest point north and “south” around the Nā Pali coast. I would absolutely recommend this location for anyone visiting Kauai for the first time who is looking to visit each part of the island during their trip.
Danyelle K.
November 2023

I noticed this is in some past reviews and I concur. It's time to fix the screen door. As there is no air conditioning the sliding living room door an needs to be open most all time to be comfortable. But the screen door "sticks" so badly your constantly screwing around trying to get it open and closed. This did become annoying. Other than that great place enjoyed it and once the screen door is replaced with one the works I'd rent it again.

November 2023

This condo definitely exceeded our expectations!! While we knew it was so pretty from pictures while searching for places for our stay in Kauai, when we arrived it was just paradise for sure!! We did a lot of hiking, but truly, the best 2 days were when we just stayed around the condo, hanging out at the beach and having meals on the lanai! Overall this condo is a beautiful place and highly recommend!! Laura and Bob

This property is located in a perfect place! Sunrise and sunset are the best on the lanai! So close to the ocean that you can see and hear those waves that are so relaxing!

November 2023

The location was excellent. We liked being able to walk to a variety of restaurants in the area. The beach in front of the hotel was a lovely place to hang out, swim and snorkel. It was a really nice touch that there was all the beach gear for us to use! The condo was very spacious and comfortable, lots of space for 2 people. Previous reviews mentioned the lack of kitchen supplies, but it seems like they've outfitted the kitchen since then--no problems there. My only one complaint would be the towels and pillow cases. I know I have a sensitive nose for this, and I may be the only one who notices, but the towels and pillow cases had that smell of when things don't dry out. I know it's difficult with the humid weather. In my experience, you can't get that smell out of a towel once it's in there. It may be good to use a product that gets out protein like Oxiclean, because I could also smell the funk of previous guests on the towels/pillow cases.

We had a beautiful 14 day visit with our friends in September. We really enjoyed the location of the VRBO as it was walking distance to many local amenites such as the Passion Bakery, Napali Brewing, Lava Lava and Coconut Marketplace. The airport and Costco were only a short drive away and we were at a good half-way point to Princeville, Waimea. We were also close to Kappa, and Poipu, where we were able to enjoy the turtles and the scenic beach hikes. The VRBO was very clean and had 2 comfortable spacious bedrooms. The kitchen was well appointed, and had everything that we needed. The lanai had an incredible view of the ocean, where the men spotted a turtle in the surf. The beaches were fabulous to have our daily soak and the grounds was kept immaculate by the maintenance crew. Staff at the facility were extremely friendly and helpful. The only thing we would have liked was more comfortable furniture in the living room. However this would not be a dealbreaker to not return, and we're already thinking of our next vacation to Kauai. We would definitely come back to Wailua and this vacation rental. Thanks for an awesome stay!!!

This property worked well for me and my mom. The back is all window and slider with a view and steps away from the ocean and the pool. You can be on the lanai sitting at the table or lounging on chairs. Near Lava Lava Beach Club and the start of the walk next to the beach that goes for miles. Loved that it had 1 1/2 baths. Felt spacious.

From the moment we arrived we knew we picked the right place to stay. The condo was so perfect and so comfortable. We had everything we could need and more. From the "extras" in the kitchen (juicer, spices, etc. and all the other items available to use such as chairs, boards, flippers and more! Trust me when I say that the pictures on VRBO do not do it justice because the view from the lanai is truly breathtaking! The condo was also perfect walking distance to Coconut Marketplace, Passion Bakery Cafe and of course the Lava Lava Beach Club. Kara was also very responsive if we ever needed anything. We would definitely stay here again!

We really enjoyed our time here. The condo was as described in the listing and is spacious with a nice layout. Having a king bed, which is very comfy, an extra bathroom, laundry inside the unit, and A/C are definitely great to have and really made our stay more comfortable. There are plenty of towels and the kitchen is well-equipped. We loved the ocean and garden view from the balcony. Also, the location was ideal for us. We did a lot of excursions and hiking both north and south, so no really long drives for us. The beach, pool, and lagoon areas are very nice too. Unfortunately, we only had time to enjoy them on check-out day because there is so much to do on this island! Inside the unit was very quiet as was the entire complex. We didn't visit Lava Lava until our very last day, but our food was excellent and you can easily walk there via the path by the beach. We were here for a week celebrating our 30th anniversary. We will stay here again if we ever visit this amazing island again. Maybe next time we can mostly just relax since we did most everything this time!!

From the moment we walked into the condo, we were amazed by the views. The ocean is so close! The condo was perfectly decorated, clean and well stocked with everything one needs for an easy stay. Every day, we enjoyed early morning coffee and sunset cocktails on the lanai. The grounds are beautiful, and the condo is within walking distance to many great restaurants. We would absolutely love to stay again.

This property is well maintained and beautiful! We had an issue with the TV and the owner came immediately to fix it and brought us fresh bananas and starfruit! The view is exceptional! Being able to go right into the ocean was great. Our only problem was the stairs...going up and down all the time...but i think we are in better shape than when we came! This would be a unit i would definitely book again. Aloha!

Lots to do and see. Delicious food, shave ice, shopping, Keeki pool, and beach access are all 5 min or less walk. Condo is centrally location on the east side of the all. Poipu is only a 30 min drive. Princeville/Ha'ena State Park )north side) and Waimea Canyon/Polihale State Parks (Southwest) are all within an hour drive. One of the best views on the island is from the condo's lanai. The condo is beautiful decorated and well stocked with needed amenities. Pool was much larger than we expected. I highly recommend this property.

Everything there is great the only thing we wish it would have had ac in the living room. It got a little warm in there. But other than that it was great.

We loved the location and view! Everything was close and could walk to nearby places if you wanted to stay nearby and just relax. Beach was gorgeous. I won’t call this a complaint because we loved the condo but a couple of the nights it could have used air conditioning but absolutely nothing that would keep us from staying again! Love it and it was very hard to leave !!

We chose to stay at this property as a total random pick. We did not know what to expect, but we were exceeded in our expectations! The property was wonderful, and the location was amazing! We really enjoyed walking next door to the lava lava beach club Every morning for breakfast. The weather was fantastic the entire duration of our trip. The pool is lovely, and the condo was clean and comfortable. I will say it was quite hot and stuffy upon arrival. On warm days, there is no air in the living room, but it cools off f you leave the slider open and turn all the fans on. We would definitely stay here again!

Great place to stay and this was our 2nd time to Lae Nani. This condo was perfect and had all the amenities we needed.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the Hoover’s condo in Lae Nani. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. Communication leading up and to during our stay was fantastic. Beautiful view out onto the lush grounds and ocean beyond. Nice lanai to sit and have coffee in the morning. Beautiful spot to watch the sunrise just steps away. Plenty of parking right in front. Excellent location for exploring all parts of the island. Highly recommend the short walk to Lava Lava beach club for dinner on the beach and nice live music.

The view is extraordinary! Location is close to the ocean, a beautiful grassy area and the pool. It is also central to excursions, shopping and restaurants. Within the condo is all that we needed; kitchen is well stocked and a great place to prepare meals. Air conditioning is a treat as well as the king bed. We will return!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Myhusband and I spent glorious days at this condo in Lae Nani. Lae Nani is beautifully maintained and landscaped. I especially loved and enjoyed the large clean pool. The condo itself was wonderfully decorated. The showers were lovely. The bed was dreamy. My favorite part was the gorgeous view of the bay and the beautiful lanai. A real plus was the washer and dryer. With a safeway up the road and the farmer's market at Coconut marketplace, we ate many meals at the large dining room table. We did enjoy the Lava Lava club next door with its delicious food drinks and nightly music. We could not have wished for a more beautiful time and place.

Our stay for 11 days and 10 nights was amazing! The condo location was perfect-close to shopping and restaurants.the condo was very clean and comfortable. We opened the door and looked at a pool and ocean view. The lanai was one of the largest among all the condos we saw. That’s was a must for us! We loved the pool, baby beach and ocean. Every morning, we took a long walk along the ocean path. People were super friendly! We swam every day that we were not sight seeing. From the condo location in Wailua, it was easy to visit the north, south and west sights on the island. We are looking forward to a return trip and would stay at this condo again. It was so hard to leave!!

It was easy to make ourselves at home in this beautiful home. The patio view was spectacular! The home is perfectly furnished and it had everything that you could possibly need from the kitchen to the beach. They thought of everything! The central location made it easy to explore the entire island with just a short drive. It’s close the the airport. Loved the surrounding markets, coffee shops, live entertainment and too many restaurants to count, all within walking distance. The host was wonderful and let us stay until our red eye flight left, which I forgot to ask for until the day before we departed. The entire cleaning schedule was rearranged to accommodate us! Can’t wait to take our family to experience the beauty.

We had the best time staying in this place. It has everything you need and such a wonderful spot for the kids. Just steps away from the pool and just a few more to the beach, and baby beach. We loved it!

This was our second time to Kauai and we loved staying in this condo! The location was fantastic for exploring the island or relaxing at the beach or pool at the condo. The condo’s lanai had a very nice table and four chairs plus two lounge chairs. It was a wonderful place to eat breakfast in the morning, get lunch takeout from the Sleeping Giant Grill ( short walk from the condo), and watch gorgeous sunsets in the evening. The beach was just a short walk away after passing the condo’s pool. The owners provided everything you need for a Hawaiian vacation for two couples: 4 beach chairs, 4 beach towels, coolers, ice packs, and well equipped kitchen if you want to cook. There are so many good restaurants a short drive away like Sam’s Oceanside - make sure to make reservations, and Tony’s Fresh Catch Food truck for amazing shrimp tacos and fish tacos! Also, a short walk away from the condo is the Lava Lava Beach Club with a good happy hour, live music, and ocean/beach view. We enjoyed going to the coconut market place where there are shops, restaurants, a grocery store and one of Joe Joe’s satellite shave ice. Personally, we enjoyed picking up groceries here instead of driving a little farther to the Safeway. Also, we chose to visit the original Joe Joe’s Shave Ice down south for nostalgia. The owners of the condo are wonderful hosts. They provided us with information in a timely manner and gave us great recommendations in the area. We highly recommend staying here!

Upon arrival, the condo needed a bit of cleaning but was taken care of in a timely manner. Owner was very responsive. Central location on the island made it very easy to see the sights. Grounds were nice and a short walk to the beach made it easy for watching the sunsets. Lava Lava Beach Club which is next door was a great hangout. Will definitely come back our next trip.

This was a great condo with it’s beautiful beachy furnishings, swimmable beach and restaurants within walking distance. We picked it because it was easy to navigate up to the North Shore or the South Shore via car rental. I recommend arriving in the daylight as the property sign is dimly lit and challenging to see. We stopped at Coconut Market for directions and they helped us. Workable Kitchen (bring a bag of ice on your way in), comfortable bed, great shower with high shower head. It was a peaceful stay with excellent communication from the owner via email whenever we had a question or concern. There was no stopper in the bathroom sink so be careful with your valuables and not to drop anything down the drain. Also-no pizza cutter but we made it work with kitchen supplies provided. I would definitely stay here again. The portable air conditioners in the bedroom and living room helped out a lot.

We rented this 2 bedroom unit in part because it had air conditioning, and we were so glad we did. It was very hot and humid when we arrived, so the A/C really helped out. This location was very quiet, which we thoroughly enjoyed, but at the same time centrally located to amenities. We weren't huge fans of the living room furniture, but it was certainly clean and usable, just not overly comfortable. It had everything we needed, except the refrigerator was on the fritz, but they had a backup refrigerator that worked out just fine. These things are bound to happen anywhere you are. The grounds are immaculate and provided great ambiance. All in all, very nice unit and we had a wonderful relaxing time.

We found this property very accommodating based on location, pool, ocean. Ground floor with a 18 month old, perfect. I would only say the that kitchen needs a overall clean out, with utensils and especially the pots and pans. All furniture cushions need a deep clean as well as the throw rugs. New towels would help too. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. I would consider and recommend this condo if they would update the items listed above. Thank you.

We had an amazing time here at the Lai Nani property. Everything was exactly as pictured when booking. The owner even let us get some baby rental gear into the unit before we arrived. The views of the ocean and the property Itself is so well kept. We loved having the pool close by and the beach plus the tide pool for the baby was so fun. We did laundry multiple times while here. It's coin operated but you can pay for It through an app. We were walking distance to coconut marketplace and went to eat there a ton! Lot's of shops, shaved ice, and places to eat within a 3 minute walk. Lava Lava Beach club sits next to this property which does live music and happy hour! I'd give more than 5 stars if I could! We will certainly be back!

This beautifully decorated condo was so fun to stay in just like a model home. Absolutely beautiful! The property is lush and kept so clean. Our 2 granddaughters ages 10 and 7 loved going in the ocean and swimming in the pool daily. Getting up every morning to watch the spectacular sunrise was a highlight. The location to Coconut Marketplace was just a very short walk with fun shopping and eateries. Really can’t say enough. Great property and location

Great location with some amazing sunset views! Beach was steps away, and easily accessible! No a/c but with windows open it made it comfortable. Also, looking like signage around the complex shows work being done to prepare for a/c units. Awesome stay for our honeymoon!
