Our stay in Lae Nani in Kapaa was perfection! The condo was immaculate. The views from the balcony are incredible. The landscaping on the property is lush and beautifully maintained. Check-in was a breeze and there is ample parking. It was easy to walk to many delicious restaurants and the lava rock pool was so enjoyable. Karla is a wonderful host! Our vacation in Lae Nani is unforgettable!

The condominium property is beautiful with a great pool and nice beach. The location is near several restaurants and Safeway. The unit is nicely decorated and well furnished. We could have used more towels since laundry isn’t in unit, and some of the pans were a bit rough. The awful part of our stay was the endangered wedge tailed shearwater bird that nests behind the unit. You have to Google its sound to hear how horrible their cries are. These birds are nocturnal and started screaming non stop every night around 2:30am and didn’t stop until morning when the many roosters started their wake up call. It was unbelievable! Additionally, the windows are louvered so there’s no way to keep the sound out. The other problem with the condo is no AC except for a very loud portable unit in the bedroom. It did get very hot especially in the main living area which made evening TV watching uncomfortable. The ceiling fans were helpful but some of our days the temp was in the mid 80s so it was impossible to get it cooled down. This condo would probably be fine during cooler months and when those stupid birds aren’t nesting!

The property location was perfect. Coconut Marketplace for shopping and restaurants, Lava lava restaurant right on the beach with excellent food. Passion bakery also with great food options and all within walking distance. The condo and the resort had everything we needed along with great ocean views. Will definitely stay again when we return to Kauai.

We’d had an incredible stay! The location was great for us and very manageable to get to both sides of the island. The beach right out front of the unit was so peaceful and not crowded. The unit was spacious with plenty of other accessories like beach chairs, coolers, nice coffee maker, etc. Great place to spend our honeymoon and plan on returning soon!

We celebrated our 20 year wedding anniversary at Lae Nani in this wonderful condo. The pictures and description of the property was exactly as described. We spent every morning on the lanai with a bit of a morning shower, coffee, geckos and the chirping birds. Every evening on the lanai we reflected on the day listening to the waves crash, watching the tikis get lit, and the day come to an end. The condo is fully stock with beach goodies and several card and board games which we also enjoyed. Great accessibility to the coconut coast walking and biking trail which we walked after our coffee every morning. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and would absolutely return when we can.

We liked the following:
Central location - Walking distance to Coconut Marketplace and close to stores.
Relaxing pool and beach nearby
Air conditioning in family room as well as both bedrooms
Washer & dryer in unit
Great kitchen to fix meals and store food
Safer due to gated community
Quiet
Beach chairs and umbrellas
Great place for 2 couples to enjoy
Would definitely visit same unit again in the future

Everything about this place is practically perfect. If the owner sees this nit, please discard the broken beach chairs in the closet; they are hazardous. But otherwise, this place is a gem. Rare to have air conditioning and we didn't always use it but once in a while and in the bedroom - heaven. The view, the easy access to both pool and ocean - we will be back for sure.

Lae Nani 211 exceeded our expectations! We loved the ground floor lanai and easy access to pool and beach. Condo was very well stocked. We walked next door to lava lava beach club. Would love to bring grandkids here. Lovely condo and complex. We will return!

This condo has everything you would ever want for a vacation in Kauai!! The kitchen is very well equipped, including a blender for your adult beverages. The beds were very comfortable pillows were wonderful. There is even equipment for snorkeling and noodles for the pool.!! I would come back here in a heartbeat.

We were amazed by the views of this condo. Very clean n maintained condo. The owners did text us when we landed about possibly electrical plug issue in bathrooms and offered the maintenance guy to come. We did notice the bathrooms electric plugs were both tripped but my hubby was able to reset them and no need for maintenance. We loved it. The only suggestion I would make is extra shelves in the bathroom as there is no counter space especially in the master bath, that could have been the reason of the electric issue with the prior guest. We will be back. Kauai was amazing. Must do is natalie coast tour with snorkeling, canyon tour and the sugar plantation tunnel float.

This was my family’s second stay at this beautiful condo. The owners are incredibly helpful and messaged us on arrival day to check in and give us tips on using some of the appliances. The kitchen is fully stocked and being so close to Costco, we had such a nice time preparing food at home and eating on the balcony. The first time we came, we brought so much with us (beach towels, beach toys, toiletries, etc.) but after seeing how stocked the home was, we packed lightly this trip and it saved us a lot of hassle. The washer and dryer are a game changer! When arriving, I would advise looking around the home to see everything they have available, you’ll be very surprised/happy because the owners have thought of everything a family would need. The closet on the balcony has everything you’ll need for a beach day including a cooler, boogie boards and beach chairs.
Recommendations: Anini Beach was perfect for our 4 year old daughter… calm, shallow water and plenty of room to spread out on the beach. We even saw sea turtles. The Fresh Bite food truck in Hanalei is a good healthy food option and worth the drive. While you’re there, stop by Pink’s Ice Cream Parlor. Use the Lae Nani pool! It’s huge and never seems crowded. Night swimming was a nightly routine for us all and we met some really nice people over our 10 day stay. The farmers market is close by on Tues/Thurs and Saturdays and is walking distance from the condo.
Thanks for sharing your home with us! Can’t wait to return.

It is worth staying here for the view alone! We loved sitting on the balcony and watching the ocean, and laying in bed and hearing the waves crash on the beach! The grounds are very well maintained and there are gas grills and picnic tables close to the beach which are cleaned daily. Lava Lava Beach Club is right next store, and is fantastic for brunch on the beach, or live music as the sun sets. Coconut Marketplace is just beyond that with shops, restaurants and groceries, as well as bike rentals to ride the bike path up the coast! The hosts were very accommodating! We are looking forward to coming back soon! Mahalo! - Eric

Could not have asked for a better place to stay during our eight days in Kauai! The location is wonderful, the beach right on the property was perfect, and it was quiet. The unit was clean and well-stocked. FYI for those with mobility issues, it is on the third floor with no elevator access. This unit in particular also does not have a washer/dryer, but there is a laundry room on the property that is convenient and easy to use. Would absolutely stay here again! Mahalo!

I cannot say enough about this wonderful condo! Both place and location were fantastic. The condo had so much room for both of us and had everything we needed. Our favorite thing to do was have coffee every morning on the balcony that overlooks the beach. The condo is also located within walking distance of the Coconut Marketplace and several really good restaurants. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

Unit is as beautiful as photos represent. Proximity to the ocean and view of is perfect. Landscaping is lovely and well maintained. Fortunately the early morning (3:00 a.m.) rooster calls were not nearby. The pool is large and clean.
Unfortunately the temperatures in mid September were about 5 degrees higher than normal with the humidity about the same. The building is set back from the ocean & there was little to no breeze. The only livable space was the air conditioned bedroom. When not out on excursions, shopping, or at the pool, we had to spend way more time in the bedroom than in the lovely living / dining room or kitchen. This, despite 4 fans running. All they circulated was hot and humid air. The owners agreed that it was unseasonably hot and recommended that we return later in the year. Our neighbors shared our misery & together we decided to leave our front doors open to hopefully get some circulation. It didn’t help.
We were disappointed to have a much anticipated vacation marred by so much discomfort & will not choose partial AC again.
Our thanks to our hosts for their hospitality and responsiveness. They can’t control the weather.

We really made ourselves at home for our 10-day stay. The view, charm, comfort, and thoughtful details made this place easy to enjoy. The condo had everything we needed although my son would say air conditioning please. With that said there are many great ceiling and mobile fans. I also enjoyed the grounds, pool, beach and walking path nearby. Being in the water or outside under a palm tree in the heat of the day was super enjoyable. This is truly a special place. Thank you to Kara and family for sharing it with us!

Wonderful location - Kapa a, centrally located. Walking distance to Coconut Market place, with shopping and restaurants. The updated unit was clean, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for our stay.
Communication, check-in and out was seamless. We were a little concerned that we might not have an ocean view since it was on the first floor, but the view was great. Will definitely return.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. We stayed for a week, and loved every minute of it. The view was amazing, I sat on the deck and had coffee every morning watching the waves while my husband ran the bike path along the water. There is a small market within walking distance at Coconut Market Place, a brewery at the top of the street and your next door to Lava Lava Beach club. We would head out for the day to the beach and around the island, then end our day at the pool, which when we went was never busy. We are hoping to get back to Kauai some day, and will definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay on Kauai at this property. We loved being able to walk out onto the lanai and onto the grounds. There was a small beach where you can swim and also a small protected swim area if you want to be out of the surf.
The condo was very clean and had everything that we needed for out visit. It was conveniently located for all of our activities.
I would definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay at Lae Nani. The unit was clean, comfortable and well stocked. The split A/C units were a huge plus! The property grounds were gorgeous and well taken care of. Can't beat the view and location of this unit. Owners were responsive and check in and out instructions were very easy. Only complaint is they did tree trimming around the pool one day and used heavy equipment to clean up, which made it noisy most of the time. It just happened to be the day we planned to stay around the pool. We would definitely come back to Lae Nani and this unit.

We enjoyed our week long stay at this condo. The view is fantastic, the grounds are well-kept, and it was not a busy/loud complex. The Kapa’a area has some great dining options nearby and is roughly equidistant from the south shore (Poipu/Waimea area) and the north side (Princeville/Hanalei). Be careful in the shower, as it is slippery. The unit is a bit dated (especially the bathrooms) but most of our week was spent enjoying the outdoors. Overall, a great stay that we don’t regret.

Wonderfully appointed. Great kitchenwear, comfortable beds and furniture, and great beach gear. AC in bedrooms is great.
Very kind to give a late check out to accommodate disabled granddaughter. East to work with.
One possible suggestion is a screen door on the front door so as to leave the front door open more readily and make available the cross breeze.

Absolutely stay here if you can. The unit is even better than it looks in the photos. And the units in building 5 are the best in the complex - uninterrupted view of the beautifully maintained grounds and the crashing waves just beyond that. The kitchen is fully stocked and the bed is really comfortable. The A/C works great in both the bedroom and the front rooms. You will be walking distance to the Coconut Marketplace which has good food options and touristy shops but we did have a rental car for grocery shopping and exploring the island. As for swimming, the property does have a protected "kiddie" area and a beach with a sand entry. You won't need water shoes but if you go in you should be comfortable with riding out the big swells that break continuously on the rest of the beach. One of the best VRBO units we've stayed in and we travel to Hawaii every year.

Everything was as described but even better. The living room was much larger than the pictures could show. Beds were very comfortable. High quality linens all around. Kitchen had every utensil you’d need. Lots of hooks in bathroom to hang wet suits, towels. Shower was large and has bountiful water flowing. The view/beach acres/proximity to shopping and restaurants is fantastic, about the same as if you were staying in a large hotel.
