The apartment is as advertised. The photos give a good representation of the property, a very elegant, tastefully furnished, bright and spacious second floor apartment with a breathtaking view of the ocean and the beautiful garden. Cindy, the host / manager was great to work with and answered all our questions quickly. As mentioned, the garden is very well-maintained and beautiful (almost like a small botanical garden). Unfortunately, the daily gardening work with outdated machines (lawnmower, hedge trimmer, leaf blower, etc.) creates a lot of noise every day. If Lae Nani wants to offer its guests a premium experience, they should switch to rechargable, battery-powered devices, which are significantly quieter (as is the case elsewhere in the world, although perhaps not in the US). However, if you are not too sensitive to noise, I can really recommend this vavation rental and the entire property.

Loved the space and community. Perfect central location to get to north and south shores of island. Lots of grocery stores and restaurant options close by. Short walk to beaches with breathtaking sunrise. Beautiful, well-maintained grounds. Well stocked with beach chairs, body boards, and snorkel gear. Loved it!

We had an incredible time on our vacation and at this home. The location is central to basically the entire island and there are so many wonderful coffee shops, dining options and activities within walking distance. I highly recommend just stepping outside and exploring the neighborhood. I can't thank Leslie and Ken enough for how communicative, organized and gracious they were. The condo itself has unbelievable views and was so well-stocked with everything we needed, and more. This will be the first place I book for our next visit.

Fantastic views, walking distance to shops and restaurants. The condo was well stocked with appliances, convenience items, books, games and beach stuff. The second full bath was a big plus. Would highly recommend

This is a beautiful condo!. Very tastefully decorated and desired amenities. The owner provided many necessities for a wonderful stay, including an espresso maker which we used every day! The view to the ocean is unhindered and a delight all day long. We enjoyed many evenings on the balcony soaking up the beauty. The pool area was also beautiful and relaxing surrounded by tropical plants and ocean view. The condo is in a great location, it seemed central to many activities and eateries. In fact, we walked to several restaurants during our 8 day stay. It was pretty warm during our stay and appreciated the air conditioning in the bedroom for sleeping and the see through blinds in the living area when needed. We would stay there again.

We stayed here for our 25th anniversary trip and couldn’t have picked a better spot. The Kapaʻa location was ideal — central to Hanalei, Poʻipū, and Waimea Canyon. The condo was spotless, comfortable, and felt like home from the moment we walked in. Having a washer and dryer in the unit was a huge plus during our 9-night stay. The kitchen was well-stocked, and we loved morning coffee on the lanai. The beach and pool were peaceful, and the grounds beautifully maintained. Easy parking and walkable restaurants made it even better. After days of hiking, snorkeling, and exploring, this was the perfect place to relax. We’d absolutely stay again — it’s now our go-to spot on Kauaʻi.

Condo was beautiful and well stocked. Some basic seasonings and olive oil. Living areas were extremely warm even with the windows and fans going. Sometimes it was cooler outside. Bedrooms were much cooler with the air conditioning units. Great to have LavaLava Beach Club & Coconut Marketplace within walking distance.Could use more kitchen towels for a 1 week stay.Overall we had a great stay and would stay again.

This has to be the most immaculate condo we have ever stayed in through a VRBO owner. The management team and I were in constant contact before and during our stay. The kitchen has every appliance amenity you could ask for, which is great if you are a foodie. The dual air conditioning in the unit is definitely needed. Kauai is the wettest island of all the Hawaian islands so the humidity level is always close to 100%. The ladies will appreciate not having to deal with humidity in the condo while doing their hair or getting ready for dinner. The view from the lanai is unmatched and breathtaking. This condo is an overall 10 stars!

Beautiful condo! Everything was perfect, comfortable beds, beautiful lanai with relaxing furniture and perfect view of the beach, so relaxing listening to the waves. Kitchen had everything you would need. Classy decor with great furniture and art work. Everything you need for the beach provided, beach chairs, umbrella, which was super important!! No detail was missed. Loved the two master suites with king beds! The grounds were impeccable. Parking is super convenient. The best unit in the complex! Thank you fior everything!

Location was great. Hidden gem , with a great private beach and the swimming was excellent. The grounds/ garden areas were kept in very good condition. Walking distance was easy to the convenience store and a few restaurant options. Beach restaurant 2 mins away. Great to watch sports at , foods decent as well. Accommodation was pretty much as advertised.It’s in need of a reno at some point. The one thing my wife noticed was it wasn’t as clean as it should be. I’d suggest a top to bottom major clean of everything. The other thing is the chickens …the Roosters are your alarm clock at 6am every morning. We’re up early so didn’t bother use. The other thing is , they have these endangered birds around the property and at night around 3am they make these screams that I thought was a child . It’s really weird, but again I got used to it . I’d say , if you’re ok with a 3 Star that has a beautiful view and awesome beach area that’s super quiet you’ll be fine. If you want a newer unit with AC this ones not for you. Allover , it’s a great spot Dave and Michelle Vancouver BCCanada

In general, the condo looked tired. Was misleading to say it slept 4. Second bed was a pull out sofa bed in the living room with a blow up air mattress. Having to deal with an air mattress on a daily basis would be annoying.Ceiling fan in bedroom not completly operationalSeveral window louvers need repair throughoutKitchen blinds need replacementCarpets dirtyLanai light nonexistentSeveral light bulbs outNo bedspread, just a white sheetLimited storage space.

The condo was perfect and having AC was a cherry on top. The beach with it's protected area was great for a leisurely dip. Located close to the airport and very convenient to go north to Anini beach for snorkeling, Ke'e for hiking and the Wailua river for Kayaking. If you head to Wiamia canyon go early and stop at Port Allen for Ahi tacos at the Sunset Bar and grill. We also loved being able to walk to the Coconut Market place and the Sleeping Giant Grill. The host provided beach chairs, swim fins and boogie boards. The grounds are gorgeous and except for the Shearwater birds arriving for mating season it was very quiet. We will be back!

We are home and I have had time to evaluate our trip. First, I would like to say that your company did an amazing job and was very accommodating. I do not have good things to say about the condos. Don’t get me wrong, our condo was great. It was outside that was an issue. Things were so bad that I will never recommend staying there. Here are the things that happened:1) we knew about the resurfacing because you informed us. But, you said they had a policy of working from 9-5 which was acceptable. BUT, the first night they worked until 7:15. I asked the security guard because he was outside when we were walking to our car about working past 5:00. He was extremely rude and said they had to finish what they put down. My reply to this was that they should only put down what they can finish by 5:00 pm. The 2nd night they work s until 8:20. The 3rd night they worked until 7:45. The 4th night they were still out there after 9 when we came in. The next issue were the gardeners. I appreciate them keeping the grounds nice, but at 6:30 we were sitting on the grass right next to the edge of the sand and the yard people were using their blower and driving their cart around to pick up the things they had cut down that day. They went back and forth by us several times within 5’ of our chairs. They were not picking anything up near us. One other day the same thing occurred but we were sitting on our lanai. Strike 3…the gardening person was blowing the leaves off the new asphalt up

This is a lovely place, and perfect place to stay for me and my friends. Living room faces the ocean and walking distance (less than 2 min) to the beach! The place is well equipped, and I really have nothing bad to say about it.Only tiny issue was that during our stay, the parking lot was under construction. So there were lots of noises and smell from the construction, and limited parking space. Luckily, street parking was easy, and we were mostly out anyway.I would recommend this place! It was a great vacation that I didn’t know I need

This place was beyond expectations. The condo has the best views in the entire complex. It’s beautifully decorated, spacious and clean. The beach in front was great for snorkeling and relaxing. The unit is stocked with everything you’d need for the beach…chairs, umbrella, snorkeling equipment, water shoes and coolers!!!The location is ideal. It is centrally located on the island so travel to the activities north and south is a breeze. In addition, it is steps from the shops at Coconut Market and Lava Lava Restaurant (highly recommended.) The beautiful bike path, which is 7 miles (one way) along the ocean starts down the street. As for the hosts, they were amazing. They gave great recommendations for dinners and activities and answered every text within minutes. Book this place! You won’t regret it.

The moment we walked into Kara's condo we knew we were in for a fabulous stay. The view from the patio was breathtaking, the rooms were perfect to support 2 couples and the kitchen was so well appointed we thoroughly enjoyed all meals in. Too many special decorating touches to list but the condo was top notch. The grounds of the property were also gorgeous. We took the 2-minute walk to the beach and/or the pool every morning then enjoyed coffee on the lanai. Couldn't be happier with our stay. Kara was also so responsive and helpful. Truly a 5-STAR stay.

A beautiful view of the water with the sounds of the waves in the background (or should I say foreground). Very comfortable condo. The beach was right outside the complex. Coconut Grove Market, the Lava Lava Club just a short walk away. Your hosts are phenomenal. Any issues that might arise (even before arriving) they are right on top of it. I would highly recommend staying here.

The location was beautiful and even more spectacular in person. It was amazing to be so close to the ocean although the waves were quite rough for swimming, it was still beautiful to look at. The baby beach was more manageable but we rarely used it and instead drove to the pristine north beaches. The pool is just steps to the our condo and there were feet washing stations everywhere. We walked to Coconut Marketplace for the Farmers Market and grocery store for last minute items. Lava Lava was also close by and delicious. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were clean although they could use some updates, for example our shower was missing the caps on the handles. The reason for the 4 stars was because we were not made aware of heavy parking lot construction until the day before check-in. By then it was too late to decide if we wanted to change our location. We had 3 children under 4 and it was sometimes difficult to find parking at night and have to gather all our belongings from the beach trips. Another downside was the lack of beach equipment, although it’s not expected, all other rentals have gear to use.This is what was provided : 1 broken beach umbrella, 2 oversized beach chairs, 2 plastic toys, many soccer and basketballs, about 4 scuba gear and a couple pool noodles. No wagon.Overall the location was convenient and beautiful and we would stay here again.
