We came to enjoy our 40th anniversary and thoroughly enjoyed our week! The property is quiet and well comfortable. The views were amazing and there is a very nice beach area and pool option. Walkable to lots of activities and food.

We enjoyed 8 nights in this wonderfully equipped condo on the beach in Kauai. It is an ideal location within walking distance to restaurants and shops. The kitchen had everything we needed and there is a closet with any beach items you might need like chairs, boogy boards, and ice chests. I would stay again.

We travel a lot and know what is reasonable to expect when we rent a condo but this place exceeded all of our expectations. Beautifully furnished with every comfort taken into consideration. The lanai has loungers where you can sit all day and enjoy the ocean right in front of you. We would come back in a heartbeat! Truly recommend without any reservations. Location was perfect also. You can easily walk to many food venues and it is location in the middle of the island making it perfect for navigating to the North or South.

This condo at Lae Nani beach is beautifully decorated, spacious and welcoming. Expansive heavenly views of ocean, beach and lush, green landscape is captivating. Whether from comfortable outdoor lanai furniture or from inside the living room, relaxing in plush swiveling barrel chairs, this scene will take your breath away. Perfect location! Everything you need or want is here and from Kapaa you can easily navigate to anywhere you'd like to go on the island. Owners Teri and Ron are fantastic and property manager, Marvis, is truly an Angel. :) We loved our stay.

Comfy island-themed condo provides easy access to the beach and all the amenities to make you feel like home! Wonderful personal touches with the owner made the experience even better! Lae Nani is a beautiful property and the beach is great. Will definitely stay here again.

Spent a week here with my husband and had a decently pleasant stay. Our property manager was friendly and welcoming upon arrival. Our bath towels were dirty but we found an extra set in the dresser so it was fine. There was a pest control fumigation while we were there which was concerning. Overall, the apartment was dated but spacious and had all of the necessities. Balcony view was gorgeous. We didn’t spend much time on the complex other than for sleeping and cooking breakfast. The kitchen is old and appliances/utensils are subpar but it got the job done for cooking eggs and bacon for breakfast. Location is perfect if you want to drive and explore the entire island — about 45 mins to Princeville or Poipu, and also lots to do and see in Kapa’a. It’s certainly not a luxurious place and I wouldn’t recommend it to someone who was looking for that kind of experience. The ad says that they know a captain who can take you fishing – my husband loves to fish and was disappointed when our property manager didn’t know anyone and asked us to google excursions ourselves. While it’s easy enough to access this information on your own, it should be taken down from the ad as it is misleading. On our last day, housekeeping came by 3 times and tried to open our door well before checkout (the last time successfully while I was in the restroom). We found this hugely inappropriate and I don’t think we would stay here again because of this.

Excellent condo. Many appliances like an air fryer, great coffee maker and use of all the beech items. The pictures don’t do it justice. We will be back again.

It is a fantastic location - with sunrise walks, a local farmers market, and evening get-togethers with friends staying close by. The floor plan allows optimal ocean views.

Best spot to stay in Kauai in our opinion.

Excellent location. Close to hiking Sleeping Giant, biking the shoreline path to Donkey Beach, kayaking to Secret Falls, Lydgate Park and Lagoons and Smiths’ Luau. Also lots of shops, restaurants and sunrise viewing spots within short walking distance. The pool and gardens are well maintained. 511 has lots of interesting beach decor and is well equipped for indoor and outdoor activities. High chair and PacknPlay for little ones. We’d love to stay again.

We had a wonderful time staying at Teri and Ron’s place in Kauai. It was perfect for us. Incredible views, a beautiful site and easy for us to get around to both sides of Kauai. Viewed whales and surfers from the deck. The grounds and buildings were very well maintained and everyone was so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

Condo was well stocked, had everything you would need if you wanted to cook. Gorgeous views of the ocean. Condo seemed well maintained and kept updated. There is ac but not central ac. A unit for bedroom and one for the living room which worked pretty well at keeping bedroom cool.

Arriving at night was a little challenging because of trying to find where exactly the condo was located on site. But other than that it was a very nice unit, great view. We’d stay there again.

We got home two days ago and already made reservations to stay at Lae Nani next year. That should tell you all you need to know. It's a perfect place. Centrally located, services are very close. Beaches are excellent. Quiet and peaceful (don't be fooled by the main highway a couple blocks west - you won't know it's there till you need to travel the island). Just beautiful. Miss it!!

What an amazing condo! It was beautifully decorated, immaculate, stocked with all we needed, comfortable bed and furnishings, great kitchen with plenty of really nice dishes, pans, utensils and spices. The owner really thought of everything we might need, including dishwasher detergent and filters for the coffeemaker. The location is perfect with a gorgeous beach right out your door! There were so many dining options within walking distance. It was easy to reach other parts of the island since it is about halfway between the north and south shores. We have already reserved this gem for next year! Can’t wait to return!!

We all loved it. This place was perfect for our family. The host was very helpful when we had a dishwasher problem. The place was immaculate. Quiet. Part view of the ocean, but enough and a huge lawn if you need more.

Very nice condo unit, pool and grounds were immaculate, and beautiful view from the balcony. Great central location on the island, tons of good dining options nearby, and free parking. Only downside is there is no air conditioning. We were able to make things work with several fans running but not ideal if you require cooler temps to sleep at night.

This was our first trip to Kaua’i so there was a bit of anxiety as to whether I picked the right area to stay in. My worries were unfounded becuz within minutes of our arrival at Lae Nani 211, I knew we’d hit the jackpot. The condo was spacious, well laid out and had more than we would ever need. Being able to walk out the ground floor patio made bbqing so convenient. The beach was literally a minute away and while it was small, it was perfect for us to get some sun, get a bit wet and watch the sunset. Even saw a turtle out there. We wandered over to the coconut marketplace and lava lava beach club several times as they were so close. We will definitely be back!

Such a great property! Loved our stay there with the perfect location. He was so accommodating letting us check in earlier in the day as we had plans late in the afternoon. Would love to return to this wonderful island!

No instructions for using ceiling fan remotes, dishwasher, tv remotes, our toilets flushed when upstairs flushed theirs, beach equipment was hidden in a stuffed closet which was too messy to deal with, cockroaches in the kitchen, the smell of sewer was constant and we did report to the office about the flushing toilets. Upstairs tenants footsteps sounded like thundering herds.

February 2025

From the moment we walked in we knew we had picked the right place. The condo had absolutely everything we needed. And the view was spectacular. The balcony is very private. And we especially loved the beach. We were lucky enough to have a monk seal spend afternoon on the beach. Hope to return one day .

Wonderful place to stay in Kauai. The location is perfect for visiting all areas of the island. There is a grocery/liquor/souvenir store very close by that has everything one would need. The market area also has stores and a few restaurants. It’s nice to have that available and yet from the condo you have no sense that there is a commercial space nearby. We like to explore but one wouldn’t need a car to stay here. The grounds are beautiful, well-kept, and peaceful. We enjoyed the pool almost everyday after returning from our outings. The view from the lanai is amazing. It’s tucked in just enough to be private from the neighbors and still provide an expansive view. We especially appreciated having both a high top table and lounge chairs. The condo is clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. The bed is comfortable. We enjoyed the breeze and sound of the ocean each night. The beach equipment is in excellent condition. Parking is easy. We hope to stay here again!
