We loved this place! The back deck was a really good size with chairs to enjoy the view of the ocean. The place feel an just like an apartment with everything you need. The property itself is beautiful with walking paths to enjoy the weather. If you are not an early riser I'd recommend a sleep eye mask as the curtains do not block any light. There is a bit of lack of privacy due to the bedroom curtains and the living having none, but still worth it. There is no ac but appreciated that there was both a ceiling fan and additional plug in fans to keep cool. If you're an animal lover there are cats near the property that are friendly and just nice to see how its kind of part of the island to find animals everywhere that are cared for. We would def stay again.

I was surprised by the condition of the unit, the furnishing, the lack of cleanliness of the unit and the extremely pesky chickens on property.The unit itself was older, musty and not many things updated (only the microwave was new).Thing were rusty to an extreme degree-refrig door, every single kitchen knife, even the lamp in bedroom had large solid areas of rust. Unbelievable no updating. Dust and cobwebs in the unit upon arrival. Thick white dust on bedroom and living room lamps. Salt and sand on all living room surfaces. The chickens poop all over the porch and chairs outside the unit. Gross! I would not rent again. Security patrols consistent at night as lots of homeless right down the road. The pool and landscaping on property are both nice but don't make up for all the cons. And the unit is stifling hot when wind is not blowing-had 2 huge fans on the whole time we were there, bdrm is in the back with no tradewinds coming in.Cannot swim in the water outfront-too rough so you have to pack out to another beach. Urgh, didn't know all this or we would have cancelled staying here for sure.

Property was just as advertised. Centrally Located. Beautiful sunrises every morning. Did not have A/C but really didn’t need it much. Plenty of fans. No need for alarms, the roosters take care of that for you! :) Many restaurants a few miles away. Ocean was too rough to swim in, which was a bummer, but Lydgate Beach was nearby and very safe. Wished for a few more washcloths. Only two for the whole stay. Did not want to do laundry. Brought enough clothes with us. Would stay here again and highly recommend it to family and friends.

Great communication from property management throughout. Unit was clean and organized. Fantastic views of the ocean from the lanai and pointed due east to catch the sunrise. Quick walk on the paved path to Lydgate beach. Community pool on the property was very clean and looked recently refinished. We really enjoyed our stay!!

Accommodations were as portrayed. Had all the things you need, no grocery shopping to fill gaps. Even had a pair of scissors. Had beach accessories and a cooler. Condo grounds were plush with tropical flora. View was outstanding.

We had a fabulous vacation. The central location of this property was perfect for exploring the whole island. The property itself was great for our family of 5 to have some space to spread out. We loved the closeness of the pool and beach. We would recommend the property to anyone visiting Kauai.

Our family really enjoyed the condo. It was clean, comfortable and tastefully done. Two big balconies make it easy to sit outside and enjoy the sunrise each morning. The ocean view is amazing. There were chairs, snorkels, boogie boards, and umbrellas to take to the beach. We would stay here again, but I deducted a star for two reasons: 1) we went in August. It was HOT. No A/C. There's a nice breeze that comes in the big sliding doors into the living room and master bedroom. However, this breeze doesn't reach the other two rooms. These rooms were very hot a night and it was difficult for the kids to sleep. Even in the master we couldn't even sleep with a sheet on, too hot for that. 2) there is no laundry in the unit. Since it's a beach vacation, I really would have appreciated being able to do a load and/or at least dry a few things in the dryer. (They will give you new towels at the front desk, and you can pay to go to the laundry room in the complex, but I still would have liked access to a washer/dryer in the unit).

Condo is as pictured and perfect for a party of two. Kaha Lani is lovely and beautifully landscaped and maintained. The condo has a great ocean view from the lanai across the lush lawn, and even a nice mountain view from the front porch where the front door is located. All appliances, plumbing etc. worked well with no maintenance issues. The kitchen certainly had everything we needed, as did the bed and bath rooms. Swimming directly in from of Kaha Lani is discouraged because of dangerous rip currents, but Lydgate Park, a short and pleasant walk down a paved pathway, has a 3 acre "pool" of calm water created by the placement of large lava rocks, forming a kind of lagoon. The swimming and snorkeling here is wonderful, and a lifeguard was on duty any time we were there. There is even a smaller, shallow "pool" perfect for small children and/or those not comfortable in deep water. The Kaha Lani pool is really nice and the perfect temperature, refreshing but not at all cold. The condo comes with both ceiling and additional fans in every room, and though it was quite humid while we were there (a hurricane had just skirted south of the islands) we were comfortable. If the Ritz Carlton or other high-rise and air conditioned accommodations are your thing while visiting Hawaii, this is not for you. However if you want to enjoy the natural beauty of the Garden Isle, I highly recommend it! Kate, the owner, was terrific to work with. God willing, we will return!

Having never been to Kauai, we were not sure where exactly to choose to stay. This location seem to be in the middle of everything we wanted to do in addition to very close to plenty to do with 10 minutes. It had everything we needed and was clean, comfortable and perfect for our family.

We recently spent an unforgettable week at this stunning vacation rental in Hawaii, and it exceeded all of our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the breathtaking views of the ocean. Waking up each morning to the sound of the waves and watching the sunrises from the lanai was nothing short of magical.
The location couldn't have been better. The beach was just a short walk away, making it easy to spend our days soaking up the sun and enjoying the crystal-clear waters. Whether we wanted to surf, snorkel, or simply relax with a good book, the beach was always within reach.
We were also thrilled with the local dining options. Just a few minutes' walk from the rental, we discovered several fantastic restaurants offering fresh, delicious Hawaiian cuisine. Whether it was poke, fresh seafood, or tropical cocktails, we were spoiled for choice.
The accommodations themselves were top-notch. The rental was beautifully decorated, spacious living area, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was fully stocked, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and the attention to detail throughout the space made it feel like a true home away from home.
Overall, this vacation rental provided the perfect base for our Hawaiian adventure. The views, proximity to the beach, delicious food nearby, and excellent accommodations made for an unforgettable experience. We can't wait to return!

All around fantastic stay. The location is amazing. Right in the middle so anywhere you want to go is no more than just over an hour. We literally visited every place on the island to the furthest west you can go by car and the drive was great from this home base. The property is quiet and clean. The condo had everything you would need for a very comfortable stay. Amenities were great, furniture was comfortable and everything was as advertised. Would definitely recommend this place.

We loved staying here. The view was fabulous. The grounds were very well kept. The king bed was super comfortable. There is no AC but none was needed as you get wonderful crosswinds through the unit. We loved the central location, easy to get north or south. Check in/out were very easy. The unit was very clean. It is not very walkable to shops and restaurants but the rest made up for that. It is a short walk to Lydgate beach and 75 steps out the back door to the water ahead. We absolutely loved it and we can't wait to go back!

The view was incredible and the sunrise & ocean breeze were unbeatable. Pool and laundry were great. Kitchen had all you need and more. There was plenty of green space right below so they could play catch. Walking distance to lifeguarded beach. Close to lots of stuff and food. Amazing experience! Thanks for having us!

The only thing going for this place is location. The unit has a nice view of the ocean But, it’s dated and it needs to be updated. It stated no AC but at least put in extra floor fans. When we arrived it was like a sauna with one small fan in the bedroom. There’s ceiling fans in the living room and bedroom but they do nothing. We requested a 2nd fan which was dropped off the next the day. The outdoor furniture needs to be replaced at least the lounge chairs. They were torn and dirty. I’m not sure why this place received exceptional rating it’s no where near that. I almost injured myself twice from a sharp rusty metal portion of the bottom of the bed. I think another reviewer mentioned this. The appliances need to be replaced. The coffee maker is about 10 years old. A new coffee maker doesn’t cost much maybe $15 at Walmart. This was a Mr. Coffee maker. Also they only provided a 3 & 1 shampoo/conditioner/body soap . They only had 3 towels for 3 people for a 5 day stay. Unacceptable! The main thing folks need to know about this unit is the cell service is terrible. We requested a late check out since our flight was not until 10pm. They granted it for an additional hour to 11am. As we were in the process of loading our car we got locked out. We used the key code to enter at 11:02 am it would not work. This needs to be communicated to the guest. If we would have known we would have had a person stay behind to ensure we were not locked out. Terrible!!!

Just right for our family. Deck was amazing. Ocean breeze through the unit was great. Has three beach chairs, umbrellas and cooler for beach adventures. I bought two good boogie boards. You won't get any sleep with the roosters constantly crowing so bring ear plugs. No AC. Windows are always open. Location is in between a park and a walking trail runs right along the beach perfect for morning and evening walks.

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.

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.

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.

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.
