Not sure if we could have found a more idyllic location for our family Christmas vacation. The unit itself could not have been more perfect for our group of 6 (my wife and I, our two kids, and my parents). Each generation had their own bathroom and ground floor meant my aging parents didn't need to do stairs. The unit is literally steps away from the ocean and steps away from the pool. Ocean views from the dining/living room, and one of the bedrooms. Patio facing the ocean was a nice place to enjoy the sunrise, and an even better place to watch the sunset. The grounds of the condominium were very well-maintained and offered the kids a wonderful green space in which to play (when they weren't having an absolute ball playing in the surf or in the adjacent rock-protected wading area). The unit itself was clean and comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The unit is due for a few updates/minor repairs (sticky screen door, faucets that need a little tightening), but nothing that had a major impact on our stay. The only reason I couldn't rate the check-in as 5-stars was that every interaction before check-in was through the VRBO app, but the final information about the keyless entry codes came as a non-VRBO email (real estate agency address) so I missed it and it didn't come up in my searches for VRBO like previous correspondence. We were able to make contact with the property manager without too much delay, though. Highly recommend this property.

Very nice property with lots of little details by owner. Great view and fully equipped kitchen. Place was clean and up to date. Our family had tree generations from 11 months to 77 and we were all very comfortable and had a good time.

Pro: condo location is fantastic, and it being ground floor allows us to step right into the lanai and onto the perfectly-manicured lawn, palm trees, and the (almost private) beach. More than one artisan level coffee houses within 10-min walk, plus numerous restaurants all within very short walk. Owners keep plenty of beach gears to enjoy
Con: not much really. The 2 sofabeds can co-exist if one of them is pushed back against the sliding door

Overall the property that this condo is located at is amazing. Our only issue was that the air conditioning in the main area was not working the entire time we were there.

Lae Nani was a great base for our first trip to Kauai. The unit was very comfortable for our family of four and we made use of the washer and dryer frequently. The views are exceptional and the beach and pool are only steps away. Great location with good access to north and south shores, and walking distance to shopping, dining and groceries at Coconut Marketplace. Some of the furnishings and appliances could use a refresh, but all of the advantages far outweigh any negatives. We'd love to come back!

The complex is perfect from which to explore the entire island. The grounds, the landscaping, the heated pool, and the beach are fantastic. Lae Nani is also nicely secluded with the walking and biking path diverting behind it and not in front of it. Nearby Coconut Marketplace and restaurants, including Lava Lava Beach Club, are all with easy walking distance. We met many wonderful residents and visitors, some of whom have been visiting Lae Nani every year for 25 years, which shows how great this complex is. On that note, the Lae Nani staff, from managers to gardeners to security, were wonderfully welcoming, helpful, and extremely pleasant. The unit is nicely situated and is bigger than it appears in the pictures, which was a welcome surprise. It is also very nicely decorated (we loved the Hawai’ian-themed memorabilia and framed prints). We appreciated how well-equipped 211 was from the kitchen (the fridge’s built-in icemaker was very handy when mixing cocktails) to the bathroom (great shower pressure), with plenty of towels, beach and snorkeling gear, including Tommy chairs and cooler etc. The king bed was super comfortable, so much so that we invested in a similar mattress-topper when we returned home! The hosts were very pleasant to deal with and provided many helpful suggestions about what to see and do and where to dine, and have thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Will rent this unit again on our next visit.

We spent a week over Christmas at the Lae Nani Condos in this perfectly situated corner condo. We fell asleep to the sound of the ocean every night and woke up to beautiful sunrises. The whole condo property (beach, pool, lawn) is well maintained. AC was not needed as it was a comfortable temperature every day. Within walking distance were shops, restaurants, and a market.

Stan has a beautiful condo on a perfect slice of beach very equidiatant feom both the north and southe sides of Kauai. The view was perfect. The grounds very tropical and spacious. Most of all the beds were amazingly comfortable and had really nice linens. We really had a wonderful stay and would stay again in a heartbeat.

I don't think it is possible for us to find a nicer place. From the location and the views to the amenities and graciousness of our hosts, this place is absolutely perfect for our family. So many places to eat, drink and shop that are within walking distance. The condo itself is like a second home to us. We have everything that you could possibly need and to wake up to those sunrises is like waking up from a dream. Can't wait to come back.

Loved this place. The view from our patio was great. The pool in the middle of the beautifully maintained grounds and the ocean just a little beyond that.
Kitchen had everything we needed and maybe a little more. Very comfortable, very nice.

We were thrilled to have an oceanfront condo in Kauai. It was so quiet and beautiful, with its own swimmable beach, and in short walking distance to shops and restaurants. The condo was incredibly well-outfitted in terms of kitchen, TVs, towels and beach supplies. We would definitely stay here again!

Thanks so much for hosting us. The condo is amazing -- being able to look out the back door and see the ocean so close was such a treat. The unit is so nice inside, I'm not sure the pictures do it justice. We were so comfortable there we did not want to leave. We have stayed at Lae Nani many times, dating back to the early 2000s, and I think this is the best unit we have had. Everything feels like home, and it's clear the hosts want you to enjoy yourself. We will definitely book this one again. Mahalo!

The home has every amenity a beach vacationer could want including picnic and beach gear, tennis rackets, and thermal cooler bags. The well-appointed home is nicely decorated with a joyous upscale ocean feel. Quality furnishings, detailed instructions, and a great local activity guide in a clean pretty environment made for a great trip. Thank you!

We have stayed at the Lae Nani complex several times previously (our favorite part of the Island) and would rate this condo unit as our favorite. The unit is very nicely furnished and both full bathrooms spacious & nicely appointed. The kitchen is fully stocked with all you need for cooking and the outside grill area was recently updated and has three grills and staging area which worked well for cooking fresh fish. Another big plus is the AC unit for the master bedroom and living room; much of the time not needed, but nice to have when you do. The owner (Ken) was very helpful and responsive, and left comprehensive instructions about the condo. I would recommend without reservation.

We will be back!

As soon as we arrived at our condo, I thought the photos don’t accurately show what a lovely location this is. The airlines left our luggage in Seattle, so we were distracted and frustrated, but when we walked onto the balcony and saw the surf, the grounds and the tiki torches it all melted away. The condo itself is very comfortable with good bedding, air conditioning in the main room as well as the bedroom and a nicely sized kitchen. The location suited us very well, being a short direct walk to the pool and a walking/biking trail. It’s also only a 5 minute walk to a variety of restaurants and retail stores. We liked Zorbas enough to go there twice. We enjoyed being on the top floor as it was surprisingly quiet. We were very happy to celebrate our 30th anniversary there and very much look forward to returning! Thanks, Joshua, for everything!

We loved our stay here. We experienced 3 issues; 2 of the 3 were handled fairly promptly by Vacasa:
1. The parking pass was nowhere to be found. We have stayed at this property before (in a different condo) & we know where to find the parking pass off hours. At around 1pm on our second day and after several texts/emails with Vacasa, they brought a temporary parking pass to our condo.
2. Our deadbolt stopped working. We went two days & nights without being able to lock our door. Thankfully it’s a very safe neighborhood, but nonetheless it made us nervous. Vacasa finally rectified the situation, but it took longer than we were comfortable with. There didn’t seem to be a sense of urgency.
3. The code they gave us for the pool gate didn’t work. I texted w/Vacasa support, & after trying the different codes they gave me with no success, one of the residents felt bad for me & gave me their code.
The condo is very clean, but it is older and could use a refresh. Especially the shutters in the twin bedroom. The carpet in the main living area could use a deep clean. Beds were comfy although a bit too soft for our liking (all 4 adults on the trip agreed).
The kitchen has everything you could need. More ice trays would be nice.
6 beach towels are provided, beach chairs in closet are in ok condition, & there’s no umbrella.
The view from the deck is stunning and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
Overall the condo is fine but next time we’ll stay in a more updated unit with a washer/dryer.

This place... We saw it right away when we began our search. It looked fantastic, but how often is the first place you see the right one? We kept search; and kept coming back to Lae Nani 423 and finally realized it was the best of the bunch in terms of quality and overall value. But, would it actually be as good as it appears on VRBO?
Yes, perhaps even better! The photos and description are accurate; beautiful, comfortable and well-stocked interior and a wonderful lanai from which to gaze at the ocean, eat a relaxing meal, or just enjoy the beautiful grounds. We walked two minutes to the beach to watch the sunrise each morning. The Lava Lava Club is just minutes away on foot; great for breakfast, happy hour or dinner.
We wanted a place to serve as a base of operations to see most of the enchanted island and also a quiet sanctuary to just relax and enjoy some down time. This beautiful condo was perfect on both counts.
Howard was clear, thorough and timely with his pre-check-in communication and the check out instructions were easy to follow. We hope to be back; perhaps next time for two weeks.

Being a December baby, I NEVER get to travel on my bday, so we did it this year: and it was the best! This condo was on a gorgeous property with an amazing view. We slept to ocean sounds every night, made a great breakfast daily, walked 2 minutes to the sunrise each morning with the help of roosters waking us up, and enjoyed every moment. Location was perfect, laundry was easy (there is a credit card pay option for the washer/dryer but not the soap, FYI) bed amd pillows were SO comfy. Tiki torches onsite nightly, sunset view from rhe deck over the mountains, a walk to Lava Lava Club for drinks, wonderful beach with a blowhole, rocked-in lagoon to float/snorkle, and a historic heiau all made for amazing views and memories. Quiet neighborhood, beautiful landscaping, thoughtful extras (like macnut snacks, a big beachbag, beach gear, coffee)
Also, sidenote.. the 2nd bathroom was wonderful to help avoid marital annoyances while in paradise ;)

Stunning views from this very comfortable condo in a very clean and well-equipped resort. With the pool, the beach out front, close proximity to the Coconut Marketplace, the bakery and restaurants within walking distance, you really don't need to "go" much of anywhere. However, the central island location of this place makes it a perfect starting point for excursions to other points on the island. The kitchen is well equipped, A/C in the bedroom is nice if you need it, furnishings are contemporary and comfortable. Lastly, in my humble opinion, if you do have any questions or issues during your stay it is much more pleasant to deal directly with a private owner rather than a property management company.
