Such a beautiful property! I was very worried about the property not having central air but that ocean breeze was all we needed. Very clean condo, property management was great

Kaha Lani feels like home away from home for us (4th trip). This was our favorite unit of the 4 units we've stayed in. Great views; photos and property description are accurate. Condo was clean with good supplies for the duration of the vacation (10 nights). Mahalo to the folks who left a box of Mac & Cheese in the cabinet.Owner/Management and Maintenance quickly resolved a "frozen" shower knob, replaced non-working bathroom fluorescent tubes (lights) in second bathroom, slow moving drain in ensuite bathroom and fixed kitchen garbage disposal. Location wise, we love the walk around the complex to the Kamalani Kai Bridge and Lydgate Park Pools. Convenient for traveling to other locations in Kauai (Princeville, Kapaa, PoiPu, Waimea, Lawai, and Hanapepe). Things we enjoyed: Kountry Kitchen Hawaiian Waffle, Lydgate Chocolate Farm Tour, Allerton/McBryde Garden Tour, Lawaii International Center, Hualani's and (because 3 dryers were out of service at Kaha Lani) Laundromat Express (5-stars) with lunch at Monico's Taqueria.We would recommend this property to our friends and family. Property's General Condition: Stairs need to be repainted; there are many nicks and digs from people dragging things up them. Lamp cover missing from second bathroom. Shower knob should be replaced. Only 1 dryer working on property.

This unit had one of the best views in the complex and a great breeze off the water. We loved walking on the deserted beach in front of the condos and venturing down the way to the ocean swimming area in the park next door. It was an easy walk and the beach and grounds were super clean! We also liked being so close to everything. The tiki bar just past the swimming hole was a great place to grab drinks and food while taking in the scenery. The central location of the condo made it so easy to explore the whole island. We didn’t want to leave and will definitely be back!

Location was wonderful. Very peaceful and yet close to everything. We used this location as a base to explore the entire island and do as many activities as possible in 10 days. We enjoyed the amazing views and the walking path and park. Kauai is an incredibly beautiful place in this crazy world and definitely worth the visit. We found the people delightful and although it was very wet during our visit it was immensely enjoyable. 4 stars for condo for the following reasons :Windows were filthy. We washed windows on our first day of vacation and enjoyed beautiful views the rest of our visit. I feel this should be part of cleaning and prep.Appliances are dated and in need of replacement.Entire condo could use an update and refresh for the price paid. Deck is not private. Center units have decks that are open and side by side. Most people may not mind this but it did not work for me.Bottom line for me is I would stay in this location again but give up the spectacular view for some updates and privacy.

Wonderful view! Could sit for hours and watch ocean. Saw humpback whales each day about 1/2 mile off shore rolling and blowing. Had neighbors but only heard a door slam once ( they fought like cats and dogs).
Lack of air conditioning was a non factor as the windward breeze was very refreshing.
Only suggestions would be (1) maybe a stand up washer/dryer (2) a designated handicap parking spot close to stairs ( I still carry a bullet and shrapnel from Panama).
Word to the wise….. if eating on the lanai, don’t set freaked when the little cardinal birds land on your shoulder looking for food.
Also, if the roosters get too close and cause a ruckus, mix some crunched up crackers and cayenne pepper around under the bushes and they will not be a problem for long.
Had a very pleasant stay. Many thanks!

We had the most amazing stay here. The apartment had everything we needed. The bed was so comfy. Plenty of room for a family of four and very peaceful. My only criticism would be the very unhelpful lady at the apartment reception. We were very keen to play tennis however one of the owners kept keeping hold of the key over night stopping other people using the court. The lady refused to do anything about it and was extremely rude to us after we complained to garden island properties (who dealt with the issue very promptly). We would definitely stay here again and would recommend to everyone.

We loved this property. We were just steps away from a secluded beach which we enjoyed everyday of our stay. The pool was very nice but we opted for the beach each day. The unit does not have air conditioning but we had a constant breeze blowing through the condo day and night which kept us very comfortable. It is a third floor unit so its a pretty good climb to get you luggage up the steps but once you are settled in the steps are not an issue {about 21 stair steps} There are plenty of food choices within minutes. We would return to this unit if our travels takes us back.

Relatively small older top floor 1 BR unit centrally located with a great view and well maintained inside. Small hot water heater means no more than 5 minutes of use at a time. Sewage treatment facility to the North of property noted when winds are calm. Intermittent homeless traffic on path through front of property related to a homeless camp to the South. Cleaning fee should be enough to clean ocean facing windows between renters. Unshielded security light brightly illuminates deck all night. Gross sticky TV remote should be replaced.

This updated one bedroom condo had the best ocean view. Our condo was well equipped with all the necessities to make our stay comfortable, it was also well equipped with beach equipment. We did lose hot water, but maintenance had it fixed right away. My only suggestions would be to hire a window cleaner so that we can enjoy the views through the windows and to add a guestbook and literature on activities around the island. Would definitely stay here again, regardless.

It was recommended we stay here by friends. It was more secluded & away from torist crowds but good central location to get to reach both sides of island & many close shoppes & restaurants. Not luxurious but accomodated all our needs. We wanted a kitchen & this one was well equipped. A word of caution, just because dishes had been put away, I would rewash before use. Was not fond of the scratched teflon pans but otherwise plenty of cookware & storage containers. Fairly clean but I wiped up a spot off the floor when we arrived & paper towel was pretty dirty. I think it's a pretty superficial clean between guests. Humidity & salt water is rough on aa property but this one needed a deep cleaning. Bathrooms were clean. Laundry services worked, grills didn't. All that being said, I would stay at this vacation rental again. Choose 2nd or 3rd floor for best view.

We stayed in unit 326. It had a beautiful view of the ocean and cool ocean breeze keeping the unit very comfortable without air conditioning. The unit was clean and well stocked with most things that were needed. However we didn't do much cooking, since we really enjoyed the nice variety of local foods in Kapaa and Lihue, both just a few minutes drive away. Items that we found most useful were the large beach umbrella and small cooler. We were impressed at how well the property and grounds were maintained during our week-long stay. We did several sightseeing ventures around the island, but our favorite things to do were long walks and swimming on the endless sand beach just outside the unit.

The condo was well maintained and clean. The patio was amazing and nothing beats the ocean view! The kitchen was a bit dated; however, it was well appointed for a rental. There were also spices and other basic kitchen supplies which made cooking easy. The pool was lovely and the walkway along the ocean was really nice.
The property manager was outstanding! We couldn’t find cutting boards and a coffee grinder. We contacted the property manager and they brought us both the following day. We have rented through VRBO many times and this was the best experience with a property management company. We would definitely rent from them again.

The property was exactly as pictured. Great central location. Even had some spices for a bit of cooking we did. Our only complaint was that the mattress was too firm and they had very squishy pillows. The day we arrived we had 4 electrical outlets that weren't working but they got someone over within a couple of hours to fix it. That was nice considering it was very late afternoon.

First, the location is superb. To the south you have 2+ miles of deserted beach; to the north Lygate Park. Complex is well maintained, clean, quiet, etc. Unit is well equipped, kitchen, beach equipment, bathrooms. Would have liked and extra set of sheets to change mid week - laundered. Good launching pad for access to the rest of the island, and Missing Kapaa traffic (bypass). Have stayed around Kapaa before and would stay here again. Did not need A/C this time of year - could be different in summer. But it did make the complex very quiet without the A/C’s running in every unit.

Had a great time at this beautiful condo with my family. The place was very tidy when we checked in, and most appliances were in good working condition (including the kitchen). The condo was fully stocked with towels, beach chairs, umbrellas and kitchen utensils. The condo has an absolutely stunning view of sunrise at the ocean, something that I craved to wake up to every morning. The only small inconveniences were (1) laundry room far away from condo, (2) living room flooring was a bit rough. Otherwise the condo is a fantastic place for a short stay of 2-3 days.

Kaha Lani #326Spent two weeks, great view but the substantial railing is at eye level when seated on the balcony blocking the view of the ocean. neighbors had a bistro height table and chairs we would have loved. Kitchen reasonably stocked just had to get a few things, s&p, ziplocks etc. good bed but old pilled sheets. Lots of sporting gear in the closet, good iron and board. Small TV but we didn’t use it much anyway. Had to buy a clock for the bedroom. Quiet end of resort, a little of a hike to the pool but worth it for the quiet (besides the roosters at anytime of day or night). We would go again, overall loved it, would like to contact owner and skip exorbitant vrbo fees.

I really wanted to give this property a 5 but too many things need updating. I covered the sofas with sheets. The pillows and fabric just seemed dated and dirty. They had some beautiful pieces of furniture but most were really old. The height of the sofa would be comfortable if you are 5ft tall. Unfortunately both my husband and myself are tall. The view and sounds of the ocean were absolutely incredible. We spent much of our time outside. My advice to the owner would be fresh paint, new drapes, updated bedding, sofa and decorative pillows would go a long way.

We enjoyed our stay here!! The view was beautiful and it was a great location in terms of getting to the south and the west easily. It was also nice to be close to the airport for day of departure.
Just a heads up - there is NO AC. Which turned out to be totally fine for us. We were a little worried, but with the windows, fans and ocean breeze, it was cool enough for us.
Thanks for a lovely stay!

They constantly keeping us in the loop with latest rule changes, etc. The property is well located, very convenient to everything; especially loved it with biking trail right along the ocean front we can walk or cycle. Next to Lydgate park is very nice too! The unit itself is well stocked in kitchen utensils and cooking spices, even Kirkland coffee! Great open living space and stunning ocean view just like the pictures show! Grounds in the resort are well maintained and gorgeous!The unit is well furnished but the cushions, mattress and the pillows had their heydays, an upgrade would be nicer on those.Overall we had a great stay and definitely go back!

Great updates and information before arrival followed by a quick check-in process. They even sent nice update mails about news in the area, such as a main road closure. The location is great because of the view and quiet area, but still close enough to walk to some of Kapaa's offerings. We enjoyed the access to several beaches and all the amenities included with the unit such as coolers and beach chairs.
