This property gets an A+ for location. Amazing ocean views. However there were two drawbacks. The first one - We hardly got any sleep on the couch. The room is a bit pricey for only one queen bed. Another mattress should be provided upon request. The second one is that we were expecting a front desk to answer our questions and recommend some of the cool things to do on the island. Unfortunately there wasn't any. We had to phone and ask questions. This was a disappointment. It is always reassuring to have a front desk that can take care of your needs during your stay.

We had a wonderful time! Other than the lack of air conditioning and a little misunderstanding during check in ( we arrived very late and had a hard time finding the person we were supposed to get our key from) everything was just lovely.

This property is in a beautiful location. Safe swimming, near private beaches, lovely property. Close to activities (kayaking, hiking).
Saurab and Dale are very responsive, kind, accomodating. The condo has absolutely everything you would need and more. We want to come back!

This was a very nice place and you really can't beat the view and location. There were a couple housekeeping/maintenance issues but otherwise we would highly recommend this place and gladly stay here again in the future.

We really enjoyed our time. The location is easy with access to walking paths, a good place to swim in the neighboring park and easy access to get around the island.
The condo is well maintained, clean and it was very easy to settle in for a few days and call home during our vacation.

The overall stay was good. However, I was told that the check in instructions and keypad code would be provided 4 days prior to arrival. I received the code the day of our arrival. Communication was ok but not great. Each time I asked for the keypad code it was not answered. But overall it was a good stay.

My family and I loved our stay at the property. First rate and four stars . My only complaint is no air conditioning. Yes most of the time you enjoy a nice breeze. However we had a few sleepless nights. Would we rent again in the future, YES ! Just maybe in May or June .

Our stay was good. We had to reach out to the property manager for a couple of things and they were super great and attentive to to issues. The unit is a great location on the property. We enjoyed the ocean breeze into the unit and the breeze was a life saver at night. The ceiling fans were helpful but the stand up fan in the main bedroom was necessary for additional air movement. Overall we were pleased with this place.

Was a fantastic property only minutes from the airport with a long sandy beach just steps away from the door. We were a family of four and found the location to be central for excursions across the island.

The condo is exactly as described, although the pictures make the condo look smaller than it is. The view is stunning and instantly puts you in vacation mode! The condo had everything we needed. The complex was well taken care of and drew a lot of families. We found being on the east side a perfect location for navigating the island. While the airport is close, we didn’t hear any aircraft noise. We highly recommend this condo.

This place was absolutely amazing! Very clean and everything was new and updated. We had a small plumbing problem and they were super responsive and got a plumber to our place on a Sunday morning within hours! Beautiful view of the ocean and we had the beach to ourselves most of the time. There are chairs, snorkels and boogie boards in the outdoor closet (which we didn’t find until the end) which is a great addition so you don’t have to rent them. The pool was clean and heated! Overall amazing place!

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.

Quiet neighborhood, well landscaped property, close access to Wailua and Kapaa amenities, relaxing view. Cell coverage bad for Consumer Cellular (walk 50 yards for ok coverage) but good for Verizon. Wifi was fine. Wish ceiling fans were a bit stronger. Condo stocked with 4 beach chairs and other recreation amenities. Pad on bed was slippery so occasionally uncomfortable. Pillows were uncomfortable for us (maybe not others). We interpreted the listing as having a washer and dryer in the unit, but these are actually in an adjacent building.

The location was outside of town so it was quiet, except for the wind/waves. The only challenge to get use to was no AC and the roosters, but that is a part of the experience. It was close to some of our activities and the airport and had a great time.

The condo was perfect for our family of four. Easy trip from the airport to the condo. It is a bit of a walk to the access point to swim but we mostly used our location to visit the island. The place has great beach items and beach towels which made it easy to visit different beaches. Quiet (except for the chickens) and it was still cool even without AC. The view of the ocean and sound of the waves was wonderful. Would stay here again without question.

My husband and I stayed here to celebrate our 30th anniversary and couldn’t be happier with this property! The ocean front view from the lanai was spectacular, and the unit was beautiful, well maintained and clean. We enjoyed the beach chairs and towels that were provided several times as we walked a short way down the beach to Lydgate Park. Highly recommend, and we hope to return soon!!

Conveniently located but still a slice of paradise. The grounds are modest but beautiful. We had a second floor unit with an awesome balcony. It was the highlight of our trip, relaxing out there. Beautiful ocean view, peaceful green lawns, tons of wildlife to watch. The pool is small but still nice. BBQ area is a nice addition. Our unit was a one bedroom with a super comfy bed. This room has an ensuite but the unit has a powder room also so loved that. Fold out couch was also comfortable and the sound of the waves during the night was great. I had the windows open. Lovely teak feel decor and kitchen had everything we needed. Definitely recommend!

We loved our stay! The condo was so clean and perfect for the 2 of us. I loved being on the ground floor and being able to walk right out toward the pool and the ocean. There is a walking path that we enjoyed every morning that goes right along the coast. There is no A/C, but there was a floor fan in the closet that worked perfectly. We would definitely come back.

We loved the location and privacy this area provided. We were able to travel up to princeville and Poipu with a 30-40 min drive easily. The layout of the condo is perfect with a wonderful updated kitchen, front room overlooking the beach and bedroom with walk in closet and 2 bathrooms. It is very cozy and had lots of extras in the kitchen to use to make your meals and coffee. The balcony was nice to lounge on and watch the waves and enjoy the sunset. There is a path in front that you can walk or exercise on. Golf is close by and is a municipal course. We opted to play at the Ocean Course a little bit further away that was quite expensive but hey… you’re on vacation and it’s well worth it. We were a bit concerned without AC but we didn’t need it as the natural winds and fans in the condo are all you need. There are beach chairs and towels and snorkel gear there outside the front door in a big bin that was great to have. We had a minor issue during our stay but Chad went above and beyond to help us and made everything right. I would definitely go back and also consider staying 1/2 of my time in princeville and 1/2 of my time in Poipu next time. Overall I was very happy with my choice as a first timer going to Kauai! Thanks again Chad for everything:)

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!

This condo is at the front of the complex so you do not have anything obstructing your view or access to the ocean. It is also very close to the pool and the BBQs. It is also just a few minute walk to Lydgate Park/Beach. This is the second time we have stayed in this condo and feel it is the best one in this complex.

Well appointed 3rd floor walk up unit. Despite being just 10 minutes from the airport, there was no airplane noise, if there was, it was drowned out by the sounds of crashing ocean waves. Personally, my favorite part of Kauai is the animals, and this property is full of them! The usual chickens and roosters, tons of geckos, and so many adorably friendly cats! Don't feed them, but we saw the lovely volunteers come by to make sure they were fed. Beyond the animals, the unit itself has a stellar breeze off of the ocean. The bed was nice and the water pressure in the shower was great. You will have a nice stay if you choose this location!

My husband and I rented this unit through VRBO via Garden Island Properties. During four nights (May 24th to May 28th) of our five-night stay, the units to either side of 109, the floor above us, and unit 117 were occupied by large groups of both adults and children.
On the final night of our stay, these units held a very large party with at least 30 people occupying the pool until 10 pm and then the lawn area behind the condo's lanai's until 11 p.m. We also witnessed non-resort guests associated with the groups arriving and departing the property throughout the evening. I contacted the on-call security person and Garden Island Properties but was told that nothing could be done as they didn't manage those units.
We had no idea that two different vacation property groups managed Kaha Lani. Our contract with Garden Island Properties stipulated that parties were not allowed. Had we known this, and that Castle Resorts rents to large groups, we would have chosen to stay elsewhere.
The noise and intrusiveness of these groups greatly diminished our stay. It was disappointing, disruptive, and stressful. This was very unfortunate as the property is lovely (gardens are beautiful) and the condo itself well-appointed (kitchen has everything needed to cook full meals).
I would also note that the unit is NOT air conditioned and you'll need to leave the lanai doors open to stay cool.

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.

There was no A/C. Also, there were no curtains or window blinds in the entire condo. People walking by could see everything you were doing in the kitchen and living room. The bedrooms were small, so you have to leave your suitcases in the living room where everybody could see them because there were no blinds or curtains.
When I contacted the property manger, she wasn't sure what she could do about no A/C, no blinds and no curtains.
We had a washcloth, hand towel and bath towel for each of us. One of the washcloths had makeup on it even after washing it in the washer. I had to use a hand towel for a washcloth. I texted the property manager and it took her over 24 hours to reply back there was an extra washcloth in one of the closets.
