The view was spectacular! Great location. Close to restaurants and the airport. Quiet and comfortable. We’d stay here again!

This is a second floor condo with a partial view of the ocean & a beautiful garden view from the lanai. The full kitchen (with ice maker and Brita style water filter) was well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, and appliances (toaster, microwave, rice cooker, dishwasher and more). The pantry had various oils, spices, coffee, etc. There’s a high top round table on the lanai & a large round table in the dining area that was perfect for family game time! The instant inflatable bed was very impressive! You just plug it in and step back. It inflates and expands itself, turning into an elevated bed. It needed to have some air added to it each morning, but that seems pretty standard for any kind of inflatable. It was very easy to stow away at the end of our trip as well - just turned the dial to “deflate” and it folded itself back up! We enjoyed the numerous games, beach chairs, boogie boards, beach umbrella, pool noodles, and more that was available. I was very impressed that there wasn’t any sand strewn about the unit! The cleaning crew must do a very god job! The beach was like our own private beach! There were some others around but there was enough space to separate ourselves from the others present. The waves were pretty big, perfect for boogie boarding. We also enjoyed going down to the beach for some stargazing on clear nights. Coconut Market is just across the parking lot, with an ABC store & various little shops. We enjoyed going into “Old Town Kapaa” for some shopping

We have stayed at Lae Nani for many years and this unit for the past 5 (or 6...I lose track). It is our favorite. We love the view and location plus the unit set up and furnishing is very nice.

We loved that the beach is nearby with shops and restaurants in walking distance. Old Town Kapa'a is just minutes away with an authentic island vibe. The central location was perfect. I would book this spot again for our next trip to the island.

Gorgeous location with everything we needed for a fantastic trip! The entire place was clean and easy to manage. We cooked rarely, but the essentials were there when we needed them! The beach and snorkeling supplies came in handy, and the view from the lani was unbeatable!Thanks for a memorable stay!

This property was the perfect spot for our family of four. The first floor walkout to the pool and beach from the Lanai made this feel more like a beach cottage than a condo. The unit was perfectly stocked with food everything we needed from beach accommodations to cooking supplies. The location is excellent as it’s tucked away in a quiet corner of the beach with easy access to the amenities that Kapaa provides. It’s also centrally located on the east shore making day trips to the north and south a breeze. I definitely recommend this unit for a perfect family getaway.

The condo was very nice. The area was great too. The Kauai Vacation Rentals folks were responsive to the minor requests that I presented.The airflow through the condo was very good.I would recommend this condo.

The space was absolutely gorgeous and clean inside and out! We were able to relax in the living spaces, enjoy privacy in the spacious bedrooms, and COOK with very little inconvenience. There was a blender, Instapot, toaster, toaster oven, 2 microwaves, oven, large fridge, and even a mixer. The only issue we had was communication with the manager of the place. We reached out via the communication they requested (email and phone), but they never responded to our query.

This home was the perfect place for our family of four. It was clean and in perfect condition. The unit was well stocked from beach accessories to cooking supplies. The unit is tucked away on a corner the beach with a walkout from the lanai to the pool and beach, making this feel like a private home. I’d highly recommend this unit to friends and family.

This unit is clean, spacious, and has a fantastic view of the ocean! Everything we needed (beach towels, cooler, snorkeling gear, beach chairs, umbrella, and more) was included! The Lae Nani property is beautiful and well-maintained. The pool is clean and large. Also, this property is right next door to the Coconut Marketplace and Lava Lava. And staying in Kapaa meant we could visit all parts of the island with just a short drive. We are so glad that we rented here!

We stayed in this unit for 5 weeks during our Kauai visit and could not have been more pleased. It was everything we expected and more! The view was spectacular, with surfers frequenting the waters, and we enjoyed daily morning coffee and many dinners on the lanai. The unit itself was very comfortable and very nicely decorated with many island touches and the kitchen was outfitted with everything we needed. The mid-island location was ideal for both north and south activities. Kara was extremely responsive and it was comforting to know that she was there for advice or resolution. Overall, we were super happy with this property and would readily book there again!

Property was as listed. In a great location and had everything we needed including coolers and beach chairs. No AC as listed . This made it s little warm, but manageable.

Very nice condo on a beautiful property. Condo was very clean with comfortable bed and linens. Dining and living area were perfect for the two of us. We did some cooking and the kitchen was pretty well stocked. Grills down below were a bonus. Loved having the additional half bath! A/C was definitely a bonus as it was a bit humid. Balcony with an amazing view of the ocean as well as nicely manicured grounds. Perfect place to enjoy a beverage and a bite to eat! The property itself is clean and beautiful… quiet and peaceful . Location we thought, was absolutely the perfect with everything being fairly close by. The island is stunning and a true dream! We spent our 30th anniversary here and wouldn’t change a thing!

Everything was perfect. The view, proximity to Princeville and Poipu, comfort of beds, A.C, start up supplies, communication, ease of getting to the beach, and cleanliness were all spot on. I couldn’t improve on this in any way… except a longer stay!

Great location for an East side property. Unit was as described but needs a refresh. Living room is teakwood furniture but not super practical or comfortable for relaxing. If you enjoy watching TV in bed you should note this unit doesn’t have a TV in the bedroom. Great view of the ocean and convenient walk to restaurants and shopping.
Heather S.

We enjoyed the condo and location. The condo was a good size and everything we needed, including a washer and dryer. The beach out front and pool were fantastic. Enjoyed the short walk to a path and the Mai Tais at Lava Lava Club. Great location to get to Northshore and Southshore. Communication was easy with property management. Would stay here again.

The location here cannot be beat - the best beach in the area, a really nice pool, and the condo itself has clearly been well taken care of. The kitchen is great, the washer and dryer and invaluable, and the bedrooms are all very nice. The AC is fantastic, and being able to eat outside on the lanai by the koi pond is very relaxing.

We had the best stay at this beautiful condo. Perfect location for exploring the island. It is clean, comfortable & well equipped with everything we needed including beach chairs, beach towels and small ice chest. The lanai was our favorite spot to look out at the beach and lovely grounds and listen to the surf. This place is amazing!!!!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here. The condo was the perfect size for us, had everything we needed and the bed was comfortable. The additional beach chairs provided, cooler, towels and umbrella were a nice surprise too and very useful. No air conditioning was no problem as condo is well-ventilated with windows for the island breeze. Location is super convenient with shops & restaurants close by within walking distance and easy to get to the north and south parts of the island. Our favorite part though, was the view from the patio and being able to walk right outside to the beach. Beautiful grounds on the property as well. We will definitely recommend to others and we hope to be back someday ourselves!

Our second time back to Lae Nani. The property is so beautiful and our condo was more than comfortable. Kitchen well stocked, beautiful appliances, blender for my smoothies and 2 types of coffee makers. View from the lanai breathtaking. It has a lovely TV with a sound bar. My personal favorite on the property is the pool. Big as a lake, clean and refreshing. Also love the reef pool as it has a nice group of reef fish that I enjoyed watching with my snorkel. the proximity to Coconut marketplace, Safeway, Ross store and Boss Frogs a huge plus. Yes, we shall return.
