Property Description
Our ocean front condo has been recently remodeled with all new furniture, kitchen appliances & countertops, Smart TV, window coverings and a new comfy king size bed. From inside our unit and from our lanai, we have a wonderful view of the ocean and the beach area, and beautiful Wailua Bay.
Lai Nani is considered the gem of Kauai’s East side or “the coconut coast”. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with tropical flowers, palms trees and spacious lawns. There is gated private parking, on-site laundry, adjacent to a swimmable beach, a large heated swimming pool, and walking distance to excellent restaurants and farmer's market twice a week. There is a protected ocean pool, (Keiki Pool) for children adjacent to the property. Lae Nani is located 10 minutes north of the Lihue airport, midway between Poipu and Hanalei, so its centrally located for exploring both sides of the Island. There is a bar height table outside on the lanai to enjoy your tropical cocktails andmeals while enjoying the soothing ocean waves. We provide boogie boards, beach towels, and ice chest for the use of our guests.
We have recently added bedroom air-conditioning.

We’re thrilled to give this VRBO a 10 of 10, as it exceeded all our expectations. We walked in the door and were instantly drawn to the mesmerizing view of the ocean! The location is excellent within the island and within the development. The view of the beach is as lovely as it appears in the pictures (and yes, they let you walk and play on the grass). The grounds are beautifully manicured with plenty of beautiful flowers, bushes and trees all landscaped to sooth the soul! This 2nd floor location provides a clear view of it all AND even the lava rocks and sand seem to have been artistically arranged on the beach by God Himself. With a deck that has two comfortable chairs for lounging and a taller table with 4 chairs so you can view the scenery without obstruction from the porch railing.All the furniture inside the unit is more comfortable than it appears in the pictures, and airflow through the unit was refreshing. We were concerned that the unit might be too warm, as there is air conditioning only in the bedroom, but our concern was unfounded. We only used the AC at night and were very comfortable throughout the unit for the rest of the day. From the deck (lanai?), we watched people enjoying the ocean throughout the day, while we ourselves made use of the lovely swimming pool nearly every day. If you need the laundromat, or the tennis court, they are both close at hand.The host was outstanding both via phone or text! We would definitely stay here again!

We really enjoyed the Lae Nani Resort. The condo was very clean and very well equipped. We loved spending mornings and evenings on the lanai. The location is wonderful. We were able to walk for food and beverage every night, which was very convenient after long days exploring the beautiful island of Kauai. We hope to be back again.

We have stayed in VRBOs from Maine to Molokai and this is one of the best if not the best unit we have stayed in. This is a fantastic condo. It was immaculate, comfortable ,quiet, well equipped (like good quality tissues, tp, paper towels). Also, sharp knives & reasonable kitchen equipment, beach chairs, towels, comfy sofa & chairs on the lanai. Staff we interacted with were lovely. When the VRBO site was being wonky and not letting us make reservations, Howard tried valiantly to help us while the VRBO tech staff took their sweet time (but it was eventually fixed and we successfully made our reservation). Loved the location near a nice walking path. Could walk to a number of restaurants and shops & not too long a drive to northern beaches or points south. Great pool, big enough for lap swimming. We truly hope to return here soon.

We loved our stay at Lae Nani. The condo was clean and had everything we needed. We ate out on the balcony almost every night. The beautiful view was too good to pass up!
Plenty of restaurants within walking distance, and the overall location of the condo is good for exploring the whole island.
Howard and Patti were great hosts. They were easy to contact when needed and very accommodating.

The condo is centrally located and complete with all amenities including swimming pool , shared laundry , tennis /pickle ball court. The grounds/property were immaculate and secure. The unit was very tastefully decorated and had everything needed to make great meals.The king size bed was very comfortable as was the bathroom. A/C unit in the bedroom was very much appreciated.The location being ocean front had amazing views from the lani & kitchen while preparing meals. This is truly a paradise

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this beautiful condo. The views from both inside and outside on the lanai were outstanding. The location was great and allowed for short walks to many great restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, breweries, and cocktail places. The owners welcome book had many recommendations with their favorite restaurants, etc. and we tried many of them and loved them all. The owners were very easy to communicate with and were accommodating with our check out time. We had the best week and can’t wait to come back. Cannot recommend this rental enough!

We loved our stay at Lae Nani 423! When we come back to Kauai, we will stay here again. The view from the balcony was so beautiful, we loved watching the ocean and listening to the waves right in front of us. The condo was much bigger and nicer than the pictures can show. It's an easy walk to Coconut Marketplace (like a small outdoor mall) with shops and restaurants. A mile away is Russell's with the best acai bowls. The location was perfect for exploring the island. The air conditioner in the bedroom was excellent and appreciated. The king sized bed was comfortable. We wouldn't change a thing.

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!

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.

The property was well maintained and equipped for our stay. We really appreciated the outreach from the owners before our stay. The furniture was comfortable and felt like home. The Lae Nani location can't be beat for access to services, especially with the Lava Lava Beach Club right next door.

Property as described with quite atmosphere. Centrally located on the island with anything you need nearby. Great ocean view from a nice sized lanai with nice furniture. Air-conditioned bedroom with a firm king mattress. The kitchen was well appointed and had more than we needed. The property grounds were well cared for and the hosts and onsite office staff were friendly and helpful. We would stay there again.
