My husband and I have stayed in Building 4 many times before. We love the cross breezes that occur with the bldg being parallel to the beach. Unit 424 has about 12 stairs since it’s on the 2nd floor. This unit has one small bathroom with a small shower and another bathroom off the bedroom with a tub/shower combo. KVR was very accommodating to our needs. Our 10 days were so relaxing. My husband golfed every day and I shopped at the little shopping center next door, sat in a beach chair down at the beach and swam in the ocean to cool down. From there I showered off sand and moved to the pool until it was time for a happy hour drink with my hubby.

What a great stay on Kauai. The unit was in great shape and the grounds were so well groomed. Great to have ocean swimming at the property.

The location is great. The view is $1M. The condo is well stocked, but so yourself a favor and find another place to stay. There is mold growing and we both got sick. Very sick. You can smell it when you first walk in. There’s about 1-2 minutes of hot water then it’s the ocean temp. So forget washing your hair, conditioning it, shaving and bathing all at the same time with hot water. The add said washer and dryer. The breaker box has a label with washer and dryer on it. Apparently it’s in one of the 3 locked doors. The office said we had to use a coin operated one at the office. We wouldn’t have chosen it for a 13 day stay had we known there wasn’t a W&D in the unit. I read the review about the hot water and assumed people were exaggerating or took long showers. Nope. It lasts for 2 minutes max. As a landlord, people should be responsible and not try to rent out a moldy unit without remediating it first.

I've stayed at the Lae Nani complex for many years, it's hard to beat the views and location on the island! This unit is worn - notably one of the bathroom showers is difficult to operate, there wasn't enough hot water for two showers (property management did stop by to adjust the temperature and it didn't impact water temp more than one day). This unit is priced lower than others nearby, if your budget can flex a bit, recommend looking at other options.

This condo was an awesome place to stay. Ocean front, heard the crashing waves, lots of space. Loved the location.
Only issue is that I don't remember reading that it was on the 2nd floor with no elevator. We didn't need one, stairs are fine, but for others it could have been a problem.

Lae Nani is the perfect location for getting to all areas of the island. There are plenty of restaurants and stores close by. The condo had everything we needed for our stay. It was nice to have beach chairs and a small cooler for day trips. We had an issue with the kitchen drain and the property management company took care of the problem. The grounds are beautiful and the sound of the ocean was perfect. We look forward to returning.

The property itself and the location were very good - easy to reach from the airport. Easy access to a small beach, some bbqs and a pool. And the view was perfect. Clean and maintained well enough given age. Kitchen appliances all working and modern. Consumables supplied which was a nice touch. A small selection of beach toys were available, and there was ample towels. Within walking distance to Kayak tours, beaches, shops, bars, cafes, etc. Car park usually had space, though this could sometimes be contentious. Internet and TV worked well. Listing mentions no aircon, but didn't find this to be an issue. Decent bed and pillows. Comfortable property overall.
Booking and check in was a little fraught, with a light tenancy agreement, a deposit, and codes not supplied until the host was reminded. Main shower not working, which given the additional ensuite showerhead is about 5ft from the ground, wasn't ideal. Found it odd that the host would not know about this prior to our arrival given the cleaners would have presumably had cause to use it. Bedroom noise is frequent in the morning with no way to block it off due to the window type - recommend ear plugs.
But overall, was a very nice place to stay, and somewhere we'd be grateful to come back to after a day out exploring.

The location was excellent. We liked being able to walk to a variety of restaurants in the area. The beach in front of the hotel was a lovely place to hang out, swim and snorkel. It was a really nice touch that there was all the beach gear for us to use! The condo was very spacious and comfortable, lots of space for 2 people. Previous reviews mentioned the lack of kitchen supplies, but it seems like they've outfitted the kitchen since then--no problems there. My only one complaint would be the towels and pillow cases. I know I have a sensitive nose for this, and I may be the only one who notices, but the towels and pillow cases had that smell of when things don't dry out. I know it's difficult with the humid weather. In my experience, you can't get that smell out of a towel once it's in there. It may be good to use a product that gets out protein like Oxiclean, because I could also smell the funk of previous guests on the towels/pillow cases.

This is our second trip to Kapa a, but first at Lae Nani. The property was a bit dated but clean, great location, comfortable king bed, perfectly located between the north, south, and west side. Local shops made shopping a breeze. This one bedroom was perfect for the two of us. Lord willing, we will be back.

Excellent location for exploring Kauai. This condo is located close to restaurants and stores. Though the area is a populated one, the condo is situated in an oceanfront area and protected from traffic noise. The condo has a well-equipped kitchen for preparing meals and a comfortable lanai, with a beautiful ocean view for enjoying those meals. Also, and much appreciated were the beach chairs, cooler for packing lunches, and beach umbrellas that the owner provided. We hope to return to Kauai another time and will definitely be returning to Lae Nani.

We loved Lae Nani. The property is perfectly located in Kapaa for exploring all regions of Kauai. The grounds are spectacular and meticulously maintained. While we understand the owners may not be interested in fully upgrading the place (it does have a cool 70's vibe), performing some maintenance would be nice (peeling and dirty paint, cracked caulking, rusted fixtures). However we had everything we wanted/needed for our stay. SUPER nice having beach chairs, mats, umbrella, towels. Thank you!

We rented this 1BR for our niece and her husband while we were in another unit in the same complex. Our niece told us it was very nice, and from what I saw of it, had a well equipped kitchen, nice large MBR, and a good ocean view from the lanai. Two minor issues are the cipher door lock sometimes took four tries to get it open; the other issue was the description said there was a washer and dryer in the unit - there isn’t. Fortunately, our unit had them, so they did laundry there. The management company, KBR, refunded a portion of the rental price, which was nice of them. They’ve always been professional and courteous over the many years we’ve dealt with them. The complex pool is very nice, heated, but no slide for kids. There is some pool deck repair going on, but it didn’t affect pool use. There is a beach and a small protected area for little ones to get into calm ocean water or play in the sand. The location is convenient to Lydgate Park, which also has protected swim areas, near a really good bakery, a shopping center, and just a few miles from the airport, Lihue, and about a half hour from Poipu, an hour from Hanipepe. Another minor issue is that the car gate, pedestrian gate, swimming pool gate, as well as unit doors, all have cipher locks.

We woke up every morning listening to the crash of the waves. The property has a small beach, but a 1000 sq ft area blocked by boulders 2 ft deep to allow small kids to swim and wade in the ocean safely.
Will stay here again based on the central location on the island and view from the deck.

The grounds are well maintained and lovely. It’s nice to have access to the beach and a pool. We’ve been staying at Lae Nani for many years. Unfortunately I wouldn’t recommend this unit. The furniture was badly worn, the kitchen hasn’t been updated, the few pots and pans made cooking difficult., the TV barely worked and the bathrooms are in dire need of updating. We stayed in this unit because it was available during the time we needed to be here. But, I wouldn’t rent it again.

The kitchen was functional but could use some upgrades if you want to prepare meals on a regular basis. We plan to book the unit again in the future.

Stayed in Lae Nani unit 424 one week in November. East Shore and Wailua was a good base for visiting the entire island. Easy drive from airport, plenty of stuff to do right in Wailua and close-by and nice day drives to North and South Shores including Waimea Canyon. The property is well located with many restaurants within walking distance, close by grocery with deli and full Safeway just down the road. The grounds on the property are very nice and the beach location is good with both protected waters and some wave action. The pool is large, and not crowded and was warm. The unit is up one flight of stairs and has large, covered entrance area so sandy shoes and beach stuff can be left outside. 424 looks out over the beautiful grounds and to the beach and ocean view. The lanai was great, and we had candlelight dinner out there most nights since the ambiance from there was better than almost any restaurant. Although recommend the Lava Lave Club for the first night which is next door and easy walk around via beach for ‘beach’ dining. The unit itself was nice and had coffee and filters to get you started next morning. The unit was clean and well equipped with all kitchen stuff you should need while on vacation, beach towels, beach chairs and floats, coolers. The showers could use some updating and some maintenance items need taken care but no big deal on any of that. The layout is good and the two bathrooms were great to have. The beds were comfortable, and the lack of AC was not a big deal, at least in November. Would have been nice to have W/D in unit but they are available within a100 feet or so from unit. There is an outdoor grill within a100 feet or so from unit that made grilling easy. The management company was easy to work with and did a good job communicating with us directly and via app. They had welcome packet with all the unit and gate codes ready for us to pick-up on stop a short distance from airport on way to Wailua for contactless check-in.

The second bathroom shower is creepy. Maybe pick a different condo in same complex, I did read reviews of another condo that were pretty bad.

We’ve stayed other places in 4-5 previous travels to Kauai, but none have as nice a Lae Nani. The view from our unit was right off a postcard. A small beach was 100 yards in front of us that allowed me to get into the water each day. Grounds were beautifully maintained. A walking trail along the ocean front let us walk 2-3 miles every morning. Our unit was quiet, clean and comfortable. We were convenient to groceries, shopping at the Coconut Marketplace, shave ice and Thai food.

The condo was simple and well-equipped, and the ocean view is lovely. The grounds at Lae Nani are gorgeous and the heated salt water pool was a welcome bonus during the winter season, when most of the beaches aren't suitable for swimming because the surf is too high. We appreciated the quiet, as well as the ability to pop next door for beachside cocktails at the Lava Lava club. We especially delighted in the nightly mesermizing tiki torches. We would definitely return again.
