Lae Nani

A gated, low-rise complex where lanais look over a garden lawn, a big saltwater pool and a small sheltered beach, with Coconut Marketplace and a beachfront bar a short walk away. Best for families with young kids and island explorers who can handle stairs and partial AC.

What guests say

Guests love

  • Botanical-garden grounds. Guests love the lush, carefully kept landscaping, the springy lawn running down to the sand and the tiki torches lit at night.
  • Keiki pool on a quiet beach. A small, uncrowded beach with a rock-walled baby pool suits little kids, and a few guests watched monk seals or a turtle from the sand.
  • Saltwater pool by the ocean. The large pool sits steps from the beach, is cleaned daily and is big enough for laps, with shared grills close by.
  • Walk to dinner and the coast path. Coconut Marketplace, the Lava Lava Beach Club with live music and an oceanfront walking and bike path are all minutes away on foot.

Worth knowing

  • AC is often bedroom-only. Many units cool only the bedrooms and some have none, so living areas can get hot and humid in summer, especially upstairs - check each listing.
  • Walk-ups with no elevator. Buildings rise to three stories with no elevator and parking on the street side, so expect to carry luggage and groceries up the stairs.
  • Open water can be rough. Several guests found the waves too strong for real swimming at times; the keiki pool and the pool fill in, and some drive elsewhere to snorkel.
  • Some daytime and night noise. A few reviews mention loud gardening equipment, roosters and nesting shearwaters that cry at night, though most call it quiet.
Choosing a unit: Ground-floor units open straight onto the lawn, pool and beach with no stairs, while third-floor units get wider views in exchange for a walk-up climb and, by several accounts, more afternoon heat.

It was the perfect location and a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the ocean. Clean and had everything we needed to enjoy the week. The hosts were very helpful and accommodating when my flight ended up being earlier than expected. I can't wait to go back!!

Stayed in this condo with my wife and 2 teenage daughters and it was great. The location is fantastic, you are able to access both north and south Kauai easily from this location making both ends of the island accessible. The condo itself is bright and beachy, its very clean and everything is newer/updated and well maintained. Really nice kitchen area for preparing meals, and a great patio with direct ocean views. The beach at this complex is one of the better swim beaches in Kauai. Its not too rocky, and it curls into a cove so it is protected from the large ocean swell. Its great for boogie boarding and OK for younger swimmers, although the currents and swells on all of Kauai are no joke and everyone needs to stay alert. The unit has a nice selection of beach chairs, umbrellas and beach toys for use. The condo complex provides lounge chairs for use down by the beach and pool as well. The only thing to note is that this condo does not have A/C. When we arrived the windows were all closed and it was pretty stuffy as its on the top floor of the building. After opening the windows and letting the trade winds blow through the unit for a few hours it cooled down and was perfectly fine for the rest of our trip. There are fans in each room, we slept with the windows open and fans on and were just fine. Overall, fantastic location and value and we'll be back for sure.

The condo is very clean and easy access to a lot of great restaurants! The view is stunning off the balcony. Highly recommended! Dryer and washers are available in the compound and require either quarters or app downloading. The host has a lot of stuff ready for use for kitchen, beach. They also provided more than 1 set of bath towels which is very considerate!

★★★★★ August 2026

This property was wonderful! The location can’t be beat. Amazing views from the balcony and it’s very easy to walk out on the lawn down to the water. They even provided beach chairs that we took down to the lawn and sat under some trees right at the water. There’s plenty of room in the condo and having the extra half bath was great. There’s a washer and dryer in the unit, so we could wash clothes and we didn’t have to pack as much since we had a 12 day trip. There’s plenty of kitchen cookware so we cooked several meals. The property is beautiful and well maintained with flowers and other tropical plants. We’ve stayed in and visited other properties in this area and none can compare to Lae Nani. There are 2 AC units in the condo, one in the bedroom and one in the living room area. Once you turn them on and give them time to get the place cooled down, they work really well at keeping the condo cool. They even provided some beach toys and boogie boards in the storage closet on the balcony! We will definitely be back!
