Beachside location was the best and the grounds were maintained very well. The unit was clean and it was wonderful that there were beach/hiking equipment to use such as body boards, hiking poles, folding chairs, etc. Property management was friendly and helpful. Just note of nature’s morning alarm….roosters.

We loved our stay! The condo was so clean and perfect for the 2 of us. I loved being on the ground floor and being able to walk right out toward the pool and the ocean. There is a walking path that we enjoyed every morning that goes right along the coast. There is no A/C, but there was a floor fan in the closet that worked perfectly. We would definitely come back.

We stayed on 3 islands during our trip, and this place was our favorite! The location is fantastic. Beautiful ocean view and easy access, great proximity to north and south shores, and an in unit washer/dryer that made life better. The unit also has a well stocked beach gear storage box that met all our beach adventure needs. We would definitely stay here again!

We really enjoyed our time! A quick walk to an empty and beautiful beach. Central to exploring the island. Close to restaurants and grocery. The condo itself if cozy and has everything needed for a family trip.

We loved the location and privacy this area provided. We were able to travel up to princeville and Poipu with a 30-40 min drive easily. The layout of the condo is perfect with a wonderful updated kitchen, front room overlooking the beach and bedroom with walk in closet and 2 bathrooms. It is very cozy and had lots of extras in the kitchen to use to make your meals and coffee. The balcony was nice to lounge on and watch the waves and enjoy the sunset. There is a path in front that you can walk or exercise on. Golf is close by and is a municipal course. We opted to play at the Ocean Course a little bit further away that was quite expensive but hey… you’re on vacation and it’s well worth it. We were a bit concerned without AC but we didn’t need it as the natural winds and fans in the condo are all you need. There are beach chairs and towels and snorkel gear there outside the front door in a big bin that was great to have. We had a minor issue during our stay but Chad went above and beyond to help us and made everything right. I would definitely go back and also consider staying 1/2 of my time in princeville and 1/2 of my time in Poipu next time. Overall I was very happy with my choice as a first timer going to Kauai! Thanks again Chad for everything:)

This unit had one of the best views in the complex and a great breeze off the water. We loved walking on the deserted beach in front of the condos and venturing down the way to the ocean swimming area in the park next door. It was an easy walk and the beach and grounds were super clean! We also liked being so close to everything. The tiki bar just past the swimming hole was a great place to grab drinks and food while taking in the scenery. The central location of the condo made it so easy to explore the whole island. We didn’t want to leave and will definitely be back!

This condo is at the front of the complex so you do not have anything obstructing your view or access to the ocean. It is also very close to the pool and the BBQs. It is also just a few minute walk to Lydgate Park/Beach. This is the second time we have stayed in this condo and feel it is the best one in this complex.

Well appointed 3rd floor walk up unit. Despite being just 10 minutes from the airport, there was no airplane noise, if there was, it was drowned out by the sounds of crashing ocean waves. Personally, my favorite part of Kauai is the animals, and this property is full of them! The usual chickens and roosters, tons of geckos, and so many adorably friendly cats! Don't feed them, but we saw the lovely volunteers come by to make sure they were fed. Beyond the animals, the unit itself has a stellar breeze off of the ocean. The bed was nice and the water pressure in the shower was great. You will have a nice stay if you choose this location!

My husband and I rented this unit through VRBO via Garden Island Properties. During four nights (May 24th to May 28th) of our five-night stay, the units to either side of 109, the floor above us, and unit 117 were occupied by large groups of both adults and children.
On the final night of our stay, these units held a very large party with at least 30 people occupying the pool until 10 pm and then the lawn area behind the condo's lanai's until 11 p.m. We also witnessed non-resort guests associated with the groups arriving and departing the property throughout the evening. I contacted the on-call security person and Garden Island Properties but was told that nothing could be done as they didn't manage those units.
We had no idea that two different vacation property groups managed Kaha Lani. Our contract with Garden Island Properties stipulated that parties were not allowed. Had we known this, and that Castle Resorts rents to large groups, we would have chosen to stay elsewhere.
The noise and intrusiveness of these groups greatly diminished our stay. It was disappointing, disruptive, and stressful. This was very unfortunate as the property is lovely (gardens are beautiful) and the condo itself well-appointed (kitchen has everything needed to cook full meals).
I would also note that the unit is NOT air conditioned and you'll need to leave the lanai doors open to stay cool.

Location was wonderful. Very peaceful and yet close to everything. We used this location as a base to explore the entire island and do as many activities as possible in 10 days. We enjoyed the amazing views and the walking path and park. Kauai is an incredibly beautiful place in this crazy world and definitely worth the visit. We found the people delightful and although it was very wet during our visit it was immensely enjoyable. 4 stars for condo for the following reasons :Windows were filthy. We washed windows on our first day of vacation and enjoyed beautiful views the rest of our visit. I feel this should be part of cleaning and prep.Appliances are dated and in need of replacement.Entire condo could use an update and refresh for the price paid. Deck is not private. Center units have decks that are open and side by side. Most people may not mind this but it did not work for me.Bottom line for me is I would stay in this location again but give up the spectacular view for some updates and privacy.

Very nicely renovated condo with all the kitchen essentials available to cook. Nice ocean front property with nice view from the lanai and wave sound all day. Extra half bath was nice. A nice touch that the condo provide all the beach toy such as beach chair, boogie boards.... to use. Will definitely cone stay here again.

There was no A/C. Also, there were no curtains or window blinds in the entire condo. People walking by could see everything you were doing in the kitchen and living room. The bedrooms were small, so you have to leave your suitcases in the living room where everybody could see them because there were no blinds or curtains.
When I contacted the property manger, she wasn't sure what she could do about no A/C, no blinds and no curtains.
We had a washcloth, hand towel and bath towel for each of us. One of the washcloths had makeup on it even after washing it in the washer. I had to use a hand towel for a washcloth. I texted the property manager and it took her over 24 hours to reply back there was an extra washcloth in one of the closets.

I came here with my boyfriend and it was so peaceful and beautiful! The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook, you’re steps away from the beach, and there is ample parking. This condo is located in a perfect spot on the island—very close to shops and food (5 min drive. The condo is sort of at the midway point between the north shore and poipu. We drove up to Hanalei bay almost every day and the drive felt super quick! Highly recommend Kaha Lani!!

Our family stayed for a week. The condo was spotless, super comfortable and had the most amazing view of the ocean. We started our day off doing a new adventure and ended in the pool every afternoon. We met some wonderful neighbors at the pool! The condo was well stocked with all kitchen amenities so we cooked dinner everyday. The breeze kept the condo cool and comfortable and even at times, chilly! We had the best time and would definitely rebook this condo!

Misleading pictures online, showed brand new looking the first unit we were assigned was an old run down condo on the main floor, we were met by Roosters, Dirty Carpet, Crumbs on the Mattress, Peeled Paint, Shutters that were stuck could hardly open for privacy and to see the ocean, old wood for a security bracket on the sliding doors.I can go on and on. The lady who checked us in cared more about being on her phone than helping customers who pay her salary.
I went to the office the next day and the second lady was fabulous , she moved us to a beautiful unit that was modern, 3rd floor view, like we paid for, unfortunately we could only stay in the unit for 5 of our nights, so that meant we had to move to a 3rd unit.
3rd unit move , the lady at the front desk ( not the nice lady) the initial lady, could of cared less about our situation, she was out right rude
Broken toaster
Wobbly fans
25 year old carpet
Loose sink faucets
Utter disappointment
I would never ever recommend this place

Wonderful view! Could sit for hours and watch ocean. Saw humpback whales each day about 1/2 mile off shore rolling and blowing. Had neighbors but only heard a door slam once ( they fought like cats and dogs).
Lack of air conditioning was a non factor as the windward breeze was very refreshing.
Only suggestions would be (1) maybe a stand up washer/dryer (2) a designated handicap parking spot close to stairs ( I still carry a bullet and shrapnel from Panama).
Word to the wise….. if eating on the lanai, don’t set freaked when the little cardinal birds land on your shoulder looking for food.
Also, if the roosters get too close and cause a ruckus, mix some crunched up crackers and cayenne pepper around under the bushes and they will not be a problem for long.
Had a very pleasant stay. Many thanks!

This unit faces directly out to the ocean (about 100yrds away. There is a walking/bike path between the unit and the ocean, but that wasnt an issue and made for great people watching. The winds were exceptionally strong and made it hard to enjoy the outside deck and lounge chairs...but that WAS the Air Conditioning during our stay. Nice unit for a couple but might be a little tight with a little or another couple to share.

Beautiful view and nice condo, slightly dated decor. The washer/dryer use was a great asset. We had a problem with the back window panels not working which required a maintenance call; the owner was helpful in getting this repaired. The window had to be closed because the roosters start crowing at 4 am. Sadly, we weren’t able to use the pool because it was closed without notice for 3 days of our stay.

Amazing property, gorgeous views and so relaxing. My wife and 2 girls stayed here after staying 5 days a a nice hotel for a work conference. We enjoyed the tucked away feel of the property and the convenience to the island. The property has everything you need to enjoy your stay. Minor maintenance issues, some cabinets don’t stay closed. Absolutely the best water pressure in the master shower. My wife fell in love with a hen and her chicks. That would come to the screen to ask for food when they knew she was there.

It was a lovely tropical property, all on one level with breezy winds that kept us plenty cool naturally with no A/C. My husband and I hosted my daughter and her two boys ages 12 and 14. Both my daughter and I have very stressful work lives and we are so chill as we leave Kauai after just a few days. The boys enjoyed themselves as we explored Kauai both toward Waimea Canyon and then toward Orinceville and Hanalei. Perfect location to do both! The layed back Kauai vibe was just what we needed, whether checking out the Farmers Markets or just soaking up the sunshine on the beach. Mahalo nui for our perfect vacation!

Staying at Kaha Lani was absolutely amazing. The view and location were ideal, and the room was nicely decorated and appointed with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. However, we were there 9 nights, and when we asked about changing out our towels after 4 days, we were told it would be a $35 charge. Seriously?? We paid over $400 a night and you can’t give us clean towels unless we pay more? That seemed really petty, since we were given two towels each and only two towels for the kitchen. Also, we were put off by the film of grime on every surface and ended up using the “cleaning vinegar” to clean all of the surfaces, which looked like they had been wiped with dirty rags, if at all. It was truly off-putting and gross to behold, but it didn’t take us long to make it comfortable enough to thoroughly enjoy the place for the remainder of our stay.

We had the most amazing stay here. The apartment had everything we needed. The bed was so comfy. Plenty of room for a family of four and very peaceful. My only criticism would be the very unhelpful lady at the apartment reception. We were very keen to play tennis however one of the owners kept keeping hold of the key over night stopping other people using the court. The lady refused to do anything about it and was extremely rude to us after we complained to garden island properties (who dealt with the issue very promptly). We would definitely stay here again and would recommend to everyone.

We had a great time staying in Kaha Lani! The view from the balconies are amazing and I loved waking up looking at the sunrise over the ocean!

Comfortable beds, well-appointed kitchen & baths. Very nice property managers. Do note there’s no AC, but several fans & windows, nice breezes. It wasn’t hot for spring break but if you’re sensitive to heat or humidity you might prefer AC. Great location with easy access to most areas of interest. We enjoyed our stay!
