Lae Nani Unit 535 - Spectacular Beach Front - Quiet and Private with AC & WD
About this apartment rental
Welcome to our beach front home on the Island of Kauai! Lae Nani is a beautiful resort located on the east side of Kauai, just south of Kapaa. Our location gives you easy access to the North Shore (Napali Coast) and South Shore (Poipu, Waimea Canyon) and there are lots of food options (restaurants) and shops within walking distance. Grocery stores and other restaurants are within a 5 to 10 minute drive (or a long walk). This is a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom completely renovated condo on the top floor of a 3-story walk-up building. Our location provides privacy from the other units and makes you feel like you are in your own world. This is one of the few units in this complex with Air Conditioning (bedrooms only). The master bedroom has a lanai (balcony) and faces the ocean, so you can't get any closer to the sound or view of the ocean. The second bedroom can be made up as two twin beds or one king. There is a large lanai off the living room with lounge chairs and an outdoor table. The location of the condo means we watch the morning sun rise over the ocean with an amazing 180 degree view. The two Lanais have sun from sunrise until the very late afternoon but the trade winds and a selection of fans maintain comfortable temperatures indoors with air conditioning in the bedrooms to make sure you can sleep well. The kitchen is fully stocked and ready for you should you want to cook your meals at home. We welcome families, providing lots of games and baby accessories including a portable crib and stroller. There is a large grassy area right out front and the sand is only about 75 feet away where there is a keiki (children's) pool, perfect for little ones to safely explore the ocean. There is a heated pool for use by all Lae Nani guests and we have a closet with beach gear that you are most welcome to use. We provide free high speed wireless internet and there is television in the living room with cable, which you can also use to access your Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. There is a set of blue tooth speakers you can connect to with your smart phone for music. We have keyless entry into the condo so you don't need to worry about losing a key. Parking is free and secured. We welcome you as our guests and hope that you will make our condo your home away from home during your visit to the beautiful Garden Island of Kauai. Please note that this property is in the specially zoned Kauai Vacation Destination Area which specifically provides for vacation rentals and it is operating in compliance with Hawaii's Transient Vacation Rental Laws.

This was a fantastic condo. We spent every morning and evening on the 3rd floor lanai overlooking Wailua Bay and the beautifully landscaped grounds. The view was stunning and the lanai was well equipped with 2 loungers and a table with 4 chairs. The inside of the unit was nicely appointed with everything you could need – fully stocked kitchen, beach towels, beach chairs, umbrella, coolers, ice packs, etc. I have back issues and found the beds to be very comfortable. The restaurant recommendations by Wendell & Shannon were spot on. I would strongly recommend making reservations (where possible) well in advance. We really enjoyed being based in Kapaa for our trip. We thank the hosts for sharing their beautiful condo with us and would definitely stay again if we visit Kauai.

We truly loves this rental. Well stocked with kitchen needs, beach equipment such as chairs, umbrella, snorkel equipment, pool floats, noodles, coolers, boogie boards, cleaning supplies and laundry supplies. The beds were comfortable. The grounds of Lea Nani are just gorgeous. A beach, pool, outdoor shower for rinsing, foot rinsing stations at each stairwell, outdoor lounges, and paths to the neighboring beach and Lava Lava Beach Club restaurant. You are in easy walking distance to many stores, restaurants, and bakeries. Grills are located all over the property both near building stairwells and the pool. Views are incredible and check in/checkout was easy with no key needed. Appliances are newer and well working. Lots of books including Kauai travel books. No bugs at all. The ocean breezes didn’t come into the unit with all of the windows open..may just be the season so we had to use the air conditioner at night. Our only minor concern was the size of the bathroom sink areas. There is no place to put toiletries, which could be easily fixed by adding a shelf above the sinks. Did not deter from our joy of staying in this beautiful unit/complex. The grounds really add to the magic of this location as they are beautifully landscaped and immaculate. We thank the hosts for sharing their home with us!!

It was our first time in Kauai and definitely won't be the last. Shannon and Wendell's property is picture perfect as listed & described, best host, very patient and accommodating when our schedules were messed up with Maui wildfires. Their rental has everything needed for the trip, fully stocked kitchen supplies, beach toys, excellent location to north and south side of island. We will certainly be coming back to their magical home. Thank you Shannon and Wendell for making this a memorable trip for us.

Condo was better than advertised. Clean, comfortable, and well appointed. The grounds of the complex are like a botanical garden. The location is perfect to explore the whole island. Can’t wait to come back to stay here again.

The condominium was very pretty and clean and the association grounds are very well kept. The beds and pillows were comfortable and soft. Its located in a great area very close to shops and restaurants. Master bathroom is small with not much room to lay out our toiletries out. Unfortunately the last night we experienced bugs that looked like termites flying out of both bathroom vents. I notified the owners and they responded quickly. Dispite the little issues it was a nice stay in Kauai.

We had a wonderful stay for our first time on Kauai. The view and sound of the ocean was spectacular and the location was close to some bars and restaurants. Parking was easy as well. We loved it here. Thanks for a great place to stay!
5.0
We really enjoyed our trip to Kauai. This complex is great with its location and access to beach. We had 4 families and everyone rented a place in the complex.
Teens had a great time. They could walk for shaved ice or be in the pool or ocean or go shop.
Our unit was amazing with great views. My husband could just sit In the balcony and work. The owners are super nice and responsive.
We will rent this again for sure.

The property at Lae Nani is just incredible and this unit is top notch. Super clean and super well stocked and the third floor views and 2 lanais are worth the stairs! The little things really make a huge difference I think and this unit has them from sharp knives and everything you need to cook a great meal in the kitchen to well stocked paper products, all the details are here. The beds are very comfortable and the modern remodel is clean and functional. Our flight out was severely delayed and yet that impact our check in at all it was a total breeze and the hosts were right on top of messages helping us out. Highly recommended!

This was honestly the best VRBO that we've ever rented!!! The location is perfect for an active family that wants to see/do it all! We were 40 minutes for Princeville and the beautiful swimming beaches at Hanalei Bay and Poipu and about an hour from the spectacular Waimea canyon and all of it's hiking! It is a short drive from the airport with lots of shopping and dining options within walking distance (Don't miss Kenji Burger). The condo itself is in a well manicured secure condo development with a pool and easy beach and tide pool access. Not the best swimming beach, though. The condo is immaculately kept and has the most spectacular view of the ocean. We went to sleep every night hearing the waves crashing on the shoreline. This is the most well stocked VRBO we've ever stayed in! They have thought of everything and it is meticulously organized- beach chairs, ice chest, umbrella, etc. Just a note- this is not for the mobility impaired as it is on the 3rd floor. We will DEFINTELY be back!!!

This was our first big trip as a family of 3. My husband and I took our 3 year old (after a LONG travel day) to this condo. Aside from the beautiful view, it had so many supplies we didn’t even know we needed. So many beach chairs, toys, towels, etc. All cooking supplies were thoughtfully stored and clean. The main bedroom’s bed was so comfortable and big enough for all of us and the view from the lanai was perfect during sunset. Wendell and Shannon were incredibly communicative and helpful when we needed it. We were so grateful to stay in such a beautiful place. The beach directly outside of the condo is perfect for wading in the waves. There is plenty of shady spots throughout the day to set up and relax. I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful this place is, I hope we get to come back one day!

Wow-I knew we had a found a special property when we booked this but I had no idea it would be THIS stunning. Everything was super easy-from booking to check in to check out. The property is beautiful, right on the beach so you can enjoy that and the sounds of the waves as you fall asleep. The condo had all the amenities you could ask for and everything was very clean, organized and easy to use. We will be coming back for sure!
5.0
This condo was absolutely everything we wanted. The view of the ocean right off our lanai’s were breathtaking, while the ocean waves lulled us to sleep each night. This location is also positioned well to go to the North Shore or head down to the South Shore. Shannon & Wendell were very responsive when we had any questions regarding our upcoming visit, & provided great insight on things to do and see in the area. This place is truly a slice of heaven, & should be top on your list of places to rent for a vacation!

This condo has a beautiful view of the ocean. You are literally steps away from the beach. The beds are very comfortable and the pillows were great. When we arrived, we found the bed was not made and the attached bath had dirty towels around the floor. I contacted Shannon and she sent over three people to clean. They did take care of the bedroom and bathrooms but they did not clean out the fridge from the previous people who stayed there. The owners did refund my cleaning charge which was very nice. We had a problem with making coffee with the condo’s coffeemaker on the second morning and I contacted the local person. She did contact me back and said she would buy a new one if it did not work, and she would bring it over. We didn’t ever get an update from her and we were never able to make coffee while there. We also had a question about the TV not working with the internet but she never gave an answer on how to fix.

This is literally a dream place. The view from the porch is incredible and the location is great! The apparent is so nice. The master bedroom is very nice with an ocean view and the other bedroom is quite nice. The kitchen is well stocked so you can easily cook there. Highly recommend this spot!

We could not have been happier with our stay at this property. The photos don't really capture the true magic of this condo. It is always nerve wracking trying to pick a spot to stay when you haven't seen it first hand. I can definitely say you will not be disappointed with this one! The views are amazing! The overall complex is beautiful and very well kept. The unit had everything we needed and then some. You can tell that the owners care for the unit and use it as their own. It feels very warm and inviting and isn't just a run of the mill rental. The views from both the main patio and the master bedroom patio are amazing. We left the slider open and had a refreshing breeze all night and listened to the waves crash on the beach outside. You can't beat the location for getting around the island and you can walk to stores, restaurants, and the farmers market. If we come back to Kauai we will definitely rent this unit again.

At the risk of it not being available when we want to return, I have to say we absolutely loved everything about this condo. The beautiful furnishings, the quiet, the view, the sounds of the ocean, the sparkly cleanliness, the communication with the owner, the proximity to so much. Can't wait to return.

This is our second stay in this unit and we will be coming back again. The combination of location, views, and amenities make this place our favorite home away from home. With the kitchen having everything you need, cooking some our own meals really helped keeping us within our budget. Having the additional lanai off the bedroom really makes it special. Sle

A well-maintained condo , overlooking the beach , kitchen completely stocked with all utensils and cooking supplies.

We booked a week-long stay and loved every minute of it. The condo was in great condition, the beach was amazing with family friendly areas for our little one, and the location was central which allowed for explorations clockwise or counter-clockwise around the island. From the lānais (the living room and the master br each have one) to the washer/dryer, we enjoyed it all.
Some notes: the master bathroom is smaller than the 2nd bathroom, so we set up most of our stuff in the 2nd bathroom. The bedrooms each have an AC but the rest of the condo is not temperature controlled. The bathrooms have showers, but not bathtubs.
There was a lot of food nearby. Lava Lava Beach Club is a short walk along the lawn in front of the condo! A great place for drinks and a meal and it's one complex over. Chicken in a Barrel in Coconut Marketplace is a short walk as well.
We loved our stay and would happily book again.

Beautiful oceanfront property that was so relaxing. The bed in the master bedroom was comfortable and the bonus balcony with the ocean view and the surf sounds was incredible to have. Kitchen and bath and laundry room was well-stocked if you needed it. Would definitely stay again!

I don’t know where to start!! This place is amazing!!!! The view is probably the best view I’ve ever had in Hawaii ❤️ The place exceeded my expectations! I would recommend this place hands down above any other place. I want to also give a shout out to the housekeeping staff! The place was immaculate when we got there. So clean!!! 🥰

This property is even better than advertised! It is in a great location, with easy access to all activities, both North and South. Beautiful view of the ocean that is just footsteps away. The unit itself is super clean and comfortable, with everything you need, plus some extras!

This NYC family took a trip to paradise and we feel so fortunate to have stayed at this condo. First off the location is INCREDIBLE! Two balconies that overlook the ocean was such an amazing perk. Every night we slept to the sounds of crashing waves. Every morning we were greeted with a gorgeous view of the ocean.
This condo is in a convenient location, we drove to many parts of the island and never felt that anything was out of reach. The supermarket is five minutes away and there are two local bakeries nearby (VIP bakery and Passion bakery). What I appreciate about this property is it did not feel inundated with tourists. Everything is spaced out just right. I needed a break from the constant hullabaloo of the city and this home allowed us to take a break and marvel in the beauty of Kauai.
This condo was clean and the beds were incredibly comfortable. The owners were accessible when I had a few questions via text.
It was very hard to leave and am so grateful to the owners for allowing us a piece of peace.

Step into this home and you’re stepping into paradise. The condo is even nicer than the photos suggest. We arrived in the middle of a rainstorm, weary and concerned about the property’s proximity to the main highway. The moment we walked into the condo, all of our worries were forgotten because this place is absolutely beautiful. The condo was spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated. We loved going to sleep each night to the sound of the waves crashing and we didn’t miss having a/c at all. We absolutely loved it here and hope to come back soon.

It’s been a long couple years and Kauai was our first big family vacation since 2019. We were all anxious about the trip (is this finally happening?) and counting on long overdue rest, relaxation, reconnection and recreation. As soon as we walked into this condo the weight of the world slid off our shoulders and we took a deep breath and I knew it would be everything we needed and more.
Panoramic, breathtaking views of the water - the pictures in this listing don’t do it justice - you have to see it for yourself. Thanks to strategically located palm trees and the clever layout of the lanais - it often feels like you have the whole place to yourself.
Although I generally overheat easily, I didn’t mind the lack of AC - the constant breeze from the ocean kept the condo at the perfect temp. . . and the fans in the rooms kept us comfortable at all times. The bed in the main room was sooo comfortable - we slept like champs. We were grateful to have the guest room made up into two twin beds for our teens - who also loved their room.
We were pleasantly surprised at the number of beach chairs, floaties and other rec items available to use! We definitely took advantage of those items while there. The kitchen had everything we needed.
The condo building was quiet! Instead of a busy resort with tons of people this condo building felt like a quiet, friendly neighborhood resort. We rarely shared the pool with more than a family or two and the beach was never overly crowded. The landscaping is STUNNING - everywhere was clean and meticulously maintained.
I wasn’t sure what to expect with the beach - but we loved it! There is a rock/coral ledge not far off the shore that broke the waves and created a calm area where we found ourselves sitting and taking in the sights/sunsets! This is separate from the kiddy area separated by rocks (also amazing). When feeling adventurous we’d boogie board (basically bob) in the waves close to the shore - but I would say it’s not an area to go far off the shore unless you are a seasoned swimmer/surfer. We did enjoy watching the surfers and windsurfers on the horizon!
We loved the central location of this unit on the island. We loved being able to walk to the Coconut Marketplace daily for shaved ice or to grab a pizza! We took day trips to both the north shore and the south/west side - we loved that we felt in the middle of it all.
We can’t wait to return to Kauai - and I guarantee I’ll be watching for this unit!
