About this property

Lae Nani 423, Stunning Oceanfront View, Newly Remodeled In Tasteful Island Decor

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.

Kauai - A wonderful week

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.

Pretty perfect place In paradise

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.

Wonderful 5 Year Anniversary

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.

Amazing condo!

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!

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.

Beautiful Hawai’i Stay

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!

Gorgeous property & location, but most of unit VERY HOT

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.

Beautiful Lae Nani Condo

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.

Very Nice Property

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.

A few flaws but we loved the area and the condo

Well when we arrived the condo has a bad smell and the bathroom especially was not very clean the shower was not clean and the sink had black rim around the plug and both bathroom sinks needed to be cleaned. The microwave was not working. The beach chair we a joke one was broke and I he other one can’t be called a chair. We did let the owner know and he offered to have it cleaned but I do not want someone to come in and bother us.they did fix the microwave. Didn’t complain about the chairs to him. We had a wonderful time and we enjoyed the condo. Just needs to cleaned a little better. And chairs need to be updated. Yes we would stay there again.

Not as advertised

My husband and I traveled to Kauai to celebrate our 30th anniversary. The most important things we were looking for in lodging were the view and AIR CONDITIONING to sleep. Upon arrival, the portable AC in the master bedroom was not working. In trying to save the owner trouble, my husband did some troubleshooting, looked up the manual online etc. It did not improve. So after trying to solve ourselves, we contacted to owner. The first thing he said was, "the last renters said there seemed to be an issue with the AC." After this second complaint from us...instead of getting us a working AC as soon as possible, he went down the warranty path. By the time he realized he couldn't get a new one through that route and got a new one to us, we were on our last night. We did not sleep well for 8/9 nights of our 30th anniversary trip. It was 85 degrees outside. I understand wanting to check into warranty process. Yet, really- with the amount we spent on this lodging, the AC should have been fixed or replaced within 24 hours and he could work on refunds and warranties for unit later. The shower is tiled, and since no AC , it had some mildew and there was no way to truly dry that room out. Also note, we thought there was a washer/dryer inside unit- there is not- there is a shared laundry room on the property. We tried to settle this directly with the owner but he would not even offer a slight discount or a partial refund

Lae Nani Beach is a special place!

My wife and I stayed at 423 Lae Nani for one week in January of 2024 and it did not disappoint in the least! Beautiful views, pool and ocean adjacent, and with shopping and food only a short walk away! Perfect for your garden island getaway! We left feeling refreshed and ready to face real life again in the cold winter of Central Oregon! Being Near Kapaa is a great location for visitin Kauai as well, you are fairly equidistant from the north shore and the south shore with access to Waimea canyon. We kept thinking we would visit other beaches to swim but why bother when you are in such a lovely locale to begin with. We loved having a full home and kitchen so we could cook some great home cooked meals with fresh fish from the Fish market in Koloa and having breakfast on the lanai each day looking out at the ocean was just wonderful. It cost a little extra but it was worth it!

About the host

Hosted by Howard or Patti

Host profile image
We are retired educators and have raised 4 children.
We came to Hawaii when the kids were younger and were re-introduced to Kauai by friends who own a condo to the South. In 2010 we were excited to purchase and completely remodel unit 124.
We have appreciated Lae Nani immensely and when the opportunity arose to purchase this unit (423) we jumped at the chance to begin a new project!

Why they chose this property

After visiting Kauai, we decided that we would like to spend more time here and after checking out a number of properties, Lae Nani was hands down our favorite. We liked the location, the beautiful tropical landscaping that is impecably maintenaned and the friendly atmosphere.
We love that we can walk to a wide variety of restaurants and a newly revitalized Coconut Market place. They host a Farmers Market every Tuesday and Thursday, and a weekly Hawaiian Music and Dance.
Lae Nani is also located on the North-South Kapaa Bike/Multi use path which is so incredibly convenient. The views are sensational. Presently it is 7 miles long, with plans to become 17 miles.

What makes this property unique

There is an amazing sense of tranquility created by the warmth, the lovely tropical landscape and the breathtaking views. It is an inspiring place to sit and read a book, to play in the surf, or to take advantage of the myriad of opportunity for local adventures.
We appreciate that we are close to a town that has maintained a local culture but also welcomes tourists.
