The location of this condo is perfect! We loved being able to walk next door to the Lava Lava Beach Club for entertainment at night. The condo was clean and had the basic necessities available. Peter was very responsive when we had an issue and had the problem fixed quickly.
Some constructive feedback: it would be nice to have beach chairs and an umbrella available for renters’ use. We had family members staying in 3 other condos in the same complex; they all had beach chairs and umbrellas available for their use. Also, we used the pull out couch for our daughter, but there weren’t any pillows available for her use.
Overall, we loved our stay in this condo and would definitely stay here again!

We absolutely love staying at Lae Nani We have stayed a several times now. Peter’s unit has become our “go to”. The location on the property is the best for a 1br. Peter is also a terrific host, he is very quick to respond with questions or concerns. We can’t wait until next time.

We had a wonderful stay. This condo has the perfect location with ocean views and close to the pool and BBQs. Will definitely go again. Very comfortable.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and recommend it highly. The location was excellent: quiet, scenic, beautiful, secure, safe and strategic to exploring all of the island. The grounds were beautifully landscaped and maintained daily. The unit was spacious, modern, well supplied and very comfortable. The owners were very hospitable and good communicators. We give our stay an A+ all around!

I spent most of my time just watching the waves and looking out the window at the view.
There was no A/C however we found we didn’t need it at all with the windows opened there was always a wonderful breeze. However, for those that may need it they offered several fans along with ceiling fans.
The condo had all we needed and was nicely appointed. The sofa and beds were comfortable.
Parking was a little hard to find but you can’t complain when you don’t have to pay the extra parking fees like everywhere else.
We walked next door to Lava Lava and had a bite to eat and also took walks to the Coconut Market a few times as well as the boardwalk. We saw several seals sleeping on the shore.
We also enjoyed using the grills out by the pool. They had lounge chairs throughout the yard that were available to use which was so nice. I also enjoyed walking the property with all the beautiful landscaping and the breeze coming off the water onto the property.

Other reviews tell you what a wonderful place Lae Nani is and how nice this unit is. Since I use a walker, I'm going to focus on accessibility here. The unit is on the ground floor with no stairs and handicapped parking as close as you can get (still a little walk). The front door, sliding door to the lanai, and the shower all have a small step over. There is lots of space in the unit, lovely furniture and not too much of it so you can get around. Kitchens are the same in all the units I've stayed in, small but manageable. The pool is in front of the unit so easy to get to. I recommend this unit for people with some mobility difficulties.

This property is the best bang for your buck! Super clean, right on the beach, lots of small shops and restaurants right next door. It’s literally everything you could ask for! Additionally, it’s right in the middle of everything g from north shore to south shore, not too far of a drive at all! We loved our time here!

Had an amazing time here. Simple one bedroom that was perfect for myself, husband, and daughter. Clean, easy check in and out, short walk to ocean, right next to the pool, amazing coffee/food/malasadas/drinks all within walking distance, and great central location for visiting all of the island be car. We will be back!

The condo was great and had everything we needed. Lae Nani is a great property with everything you could possibly need close by, Ground floor unit was great for walking out and right over tot he ocean. No AC so it was a little warm when we checked in but with the fans and ceiling fans we were able to get it cooled down by the first evening. Neighbors in the adjoining units were fantastic, friendly, and knowledgeable about the property.

Another wonderful visit at Lae Nani in Peter's conveniently-located condo: ground floor, close to the pool and beach; perfect for us. The grounds and landscape are immaculate and they appear to be building a new BBQ area on the other side of the pool.
The beachfront is more crowded than in years past, but people are mostly respectful of the property. One issue to be mindful of is the morning scramble for the limited number of chaise lounges that are available for guests' use - they go fast first thing in the morning, but there are fold out chairs provided in the unit.
Also that some folks hog the existing BBQs (the 2 that are directly across from the lanai of this unit) - bringing far too much food to grill, camping out at the benches and blaring their music. Since this was before 'quiet time' and we weren't waiting on the grills, we didn't feel the need to complain, but it was annoying. If the BBQ area is indeed being relocated, this shouldn't be an issue next time.
I would recommend this unit and hope to stay there again.

We were very comfortable here, everything we needed, close to everywhere we wanted to go, central for north & south excursions. It was stuffy at first until we got the large portable fan going & sliding door open, then perfectly fine. Pool was really lovely, we enjoyed walking to Lava Lava for dinner, and the small enclosed with rock beach pond complete with swells & small waves. They had basic condiments, complete organized kitchen, Beach umbrellas & chairs & much appreciated Beach towels. Patio area viewing & breeze so confortable on ground floor. We needed to extend our stay, and Peter was thankfully able to accommodate because due to Maui fires we could not leave to go. Would stay here again. Thank you!

Consider that similar condos are running over fifty percent higher in price. Consider that the view is exceptional, with expanse of lawn, beautiful pool view and scenic mountains and palm trees. Consider that the housekeeper is especially warm and welcoming, and that the unit is clean. The bed is comfortable.
All that said, I truly feel it is time for a makeover or an update of the unit.
Cabinets could be painted by a professional and have handles/knobs, which can be sanitized, carpet replaced (rust stains).
What is right and appreciated: high counters, high toilets (compared to others we’ve seen), high rise louchair , fans (would prefer AC, but, mostly, fans keep the unit comfortable), ice maker.
What is missing: a full length mirror,
a makeup mirror, better quality, sturdier folding chairs (to bring on road trips), a tv that works (in fairness, we followed instructions, but think one remote needs a battery.
We didn’t report it,
as normally we don’t watch tv. A safety hand bar for the shower - good for any age, especially older couples.
The instruction sheet should indicate guest should bring their own bar soap and shampoo for the shower.
If one is used to hotels, they might not think of this. Someone else had mentioned it in the reviews.
For all the fees and extra charges, one should not have to strip the bed. I have a bad back and don’t make the bed at home. I don’t want to deal with it on vacation. It is only the second time in over fi

Our condo was clean and we'll equipped. The location and view were great.
Kapaa is convenient to North and South with plenty of shopping nearby. Lava Lava Beach Club is a short walk and not a problem with noise or traffic.
We are already thinking of our 6th trip and would be happy to rent this condo again.

This condo is set on a piece of beautiful Kauai property, You can not go wrong with renting this condo. It is furnished with anything you may need for your stay. The pool and beach are just steps away from the patio, the patio was a nice place to sit for morning coffee and a glass of wine at night. we did right renting this condo for our time in Hawaii.

Try to always stay here as it is just perfect for our needs. Ground floor, easy access to everything, incredible views, decorated with comfort and quality in mind, outfitted with everything one can need and location on island ideal. Booked more time for this year and next so obviously a happy camper. You honestly can’t do better!

We enjoyed our stay here. The unit was clean and well-stocked with useful gear such as beach chairs and a cooler. The unit is located right next to the pool and steps away from the beach. Parking was always readily available. It is also relatively centrally located on the island, with both the north and south shores within reasonable driving distance. Highly recommend considering this unit for your trip.

This is the 3rd time staying at this property and we always enjoy our stay. This location is wonderful as it is near the Coconut market, where they have a farmer's market on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Also, the salt water pool directly in front of the unit is wonderful and the beautiful beach must be a well kept secret. There is a natural enclosed area to swim and float in if you feel nervous in the ocean and right beside is a beautiful area to swim. The beach is spectacular here also.
The actual unit is beautifully furnished and we always find there to be all the comforts of home. We do most of our own cooking and we have found the kitchen to be well equipped and easy to cook in. I highly recommend this property. We love coming here and have made some wonderful friends here too.

We loved our week at Lae Nani - the unit has been nicely furnished with most everything one needs (except a can opener). The swimmable beach is a very short walk as are some good restaurants. The only drawback is the traffic on the main highway which made getting to other parts of the island difficult at times. We’d definitely stay here again. Thank you!

We enjoyed it so much I am loath to give a good review because I want it all for myself! LOL.
BEST place we have ever stayed. The location on island is perfect, the development is a tropical delight and the pool, laundry facilities, beach and tennis courts steps away. The area is gated so very secure (although not a problem in Kauai). There is a great restaurant/bar right next door and the shopping center 5 minutes walk. And the VIEW ….. across the bay with amazing sunrise/sunsets ….. it will blow you away! The best part is the unit. Lower unit so perfect for luggage hauling and being able to walk off your patio to the BBQ’s or anything listed above. Parking close by, and with a bath and a half, plenty of room. Furniture, art work, kitchen appliances and pots, dishes, etc. all of the best quality. Bed comfortable and truly the unit has all one could want. Have already booked for next year so believe me, you can’t go wrong with this one. Also one of the most reasonable which is greatly appreciated. If you stay here you will be giving rave reviews as well, guaranteed!

Ground level condo near pool and ocean. Kitchen fully stocked with pots, pans, bowls, bakeware, glassware, and dishes. This place is very comfortable and has everything you need, including hairdryer, beach chairs, umbrellas, small ice chest, and beach towels. All things that all make you feel right at home. It’s walking distance to Coconut Marketplace which has a grocery store and many dining choices and there is a great farmer's market on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the parking lot. Peter responded quickly to my emails. We would highly recommend this condo and look forward to staying there again next time we vacation in Kauai.

This was a perfect central location for exploring the island from all directions. We loved being on the first floor and seeing the beautiful plants right out our door. We could see and hear the waves from the patio and that is just what we were hoping for. The condo was well stocked and had everything we needed for the trip of a lifetime! We will definitely be back!

I stayed here alone but my son and his family were in another unit and we all had so much fun. Beautiful location. Amazing pool. I’d definitely return. Loved being on the ground floor and sitting on patio in the morning with coffee and in the evening with wine. Highly recommend. It was great that they had a cpl of lawn chairs to take to the beach as well.
Thank you Peter. 💕

Very nicely appointed condo with Melanie small addition such as a small cooler, beach chars, etc. kitchen is clean and well equipped. Recommended.
Is this place for you? If you come from quite suburbia and looking for reflective solitude, look elsewhere. If you are looking for a spring break party house, look elsewhere. If you are looking to relax in a very pleasant resort area with other folks then this is the place for you.
Other commented that their is a pool in front of the condo and a restaurant behind the property then while true we hardly found this an inconvenience. The restaurant shuts down early and the pool was not over used. We spent much time down on the beach or on the deck.
Cooling may be a concern for some in the cooler months. The building is designed to allow flow through cooling and we saw no ac. We were there in April and were comfortable.

Overall the stay was great, just appalled during the end when we were told to take out the trash, strip the sheets, and clean the unit before our departure to relieve us from “charges”. Also our paper stated check in was at 3, but wasn’t allowed to check in until 4. Other than that the view and location was magnificent.

Being so close to the swimming pool had its disadvantages when loud children or teenagers caused disturbance with their noise.
Management was not around to enforce the rules pertaining to unruly noise.
Also one Saturday there was a party where 16 children were attending on the nearby grounds.
Again, no management present.

The ocean front condo was very comfortable with all the amenities a person could want for a wonderful vacation on beautiful Kuaui! Nice swimming pool on site and short easy walk to the ocean as well. Great location with shops and restaurants nearby and the central location on the island made it easy to access all sights of the entire island. I would recommend this property for a great place to have a relaxing vacation!

This place was everything and more! The furniture was really comfortable and very nice, the views and the grounds were so beautiful, and the unit was stocked the best of all the properties we've rented before, which made us feel right at home! Shopping is just next door at the ABC store and the souvenir boutiques. The Lava Lava restaurant on the beach next door, just walk over, sit on the beach and have a fabulous meal!! This location is also great for getting to all sides of the island and I fell in love with the little town close-by--great restaurants and shopping. Peter was a delight to work with and very responsive. The lawn right outside the patio is a common area, so the neighbors walking by or playing lawn bocce ball at night didn't bother us, but something to be aware of while you're in the living room area. I loved having beach access just a few steps away and the grounds are kept immaculate. We can't wait to go back, thanks!!

Location is perfect! Very quiet and no crowds. Nice to be only 30 minutes from Poipu for crowds and restaurants. And 20 minutes from the more rainy side of the island.
The room was good. Humidity was very high and hard to keep cool. The tower fan was at our bedside every night. Needed another for the living area. Fans were at full speed the whole time. Towels were scarce. 2 towels per person for 7 nights. And they don’t dry very fast in the humidity. Only 1 bathroom washcloth. No washcloths for kitchen. Food is still spendy at the “cheap” food liner. Wish I had my bullet for making smoothies. Shopping and dining next door at the Marketplace was convenient to be able to walk back and forth. LLBC outdoor bar on the beach next door made great Mai Tai’s and has live music every night.
Overall an A experience. Would come back again for sure.

Peter was very communicative and responsive and got me out of a bind when I needed a place for one of my guests last minute. I am a property manager at another unit at Lae Nani and I wouldn’t have put my guests anywhere else. The locale, and small complex feel of Lae Nani beat a hotel any day.

The grounds of this complex are a tropical paradise! It is a beautiful setting to relax and do as much or as little as you want. The unit is comfortable (especially the king bed!) and the owner has made every effort to make sure that you will enjoy your stay.
A couple of considerations:
1) The washer and dryer are in a community laundromat and not in the unit. Have quarters ready!
2) The unit is not air conditioned, but there is usually a nice cross breeze.
The owner is very responsive and answered all of my questions promptly. Thanks, Peter, for a relaxing stay!

Aloha,
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lae Nani in Kauai! It was our first time in Kauai and this was the perfect place to stay. We were able to visit both the North and South shores which was just perfect. The condo was nicely decorated and I appreciated being on the first floor. Lae Nani has beautiful landscaping and really attended to. We walked around and saw some of the nearby properties and none of them were nearly as nice. We were there to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and we took beautiful pictures right there on the property! One thing worth mentioning is the bed was very comfortable. We both slept very well! I also appreciated the 1/2 bath. There were three of us (our 14 year old came) and it was very handy to have the 1/2 bath for him to use. Peter responded very quickly to any questions I had which was greatly appreciated. We can't wait to go back. Mahalo!
