About this property

Paradise found-Ocean Front 2 Bdr/Bth/Lanais-Primary bedroom faces ocean FULL A/C

Newly refurnished 2-Bedroom 2-Bath. Can sleep 6 with queen size Aerobed (included). Full size washer and dryer in unit. **Air Conditioning installed in all rooms**.

Lae Nani is by far the nicest condominium community on Papaloa Road, which runs from the north side of the Wailua River to the Coconut Marketplace shopping center. It is a gated private property located on the east side of Kaua’i, on the Coconut Coast. Centrally located on Kaua’i, you are within easy reach of all the wonderful sites and activities on the beautiful Garden Isle. twenty-minute drive from the Lihue Airport, ten-minute drive to the award winning Wailua municipal Golf Course and midway between Poipu and Hanalei/Princeville. Grocery stores, shops, and several fantastic restaurants are within walking distance.

Unique to Lae Nani are beautiful curated gardens, and a beautiful white sand beach. There is also, a Keiki (children’s) Pond (a three-sided black lava rock breakwater) which creates a protected pool that is shallower, warmer and calmer than the surrounding ocean – perfect for the young ones. The ocean and lovely large heated pool are just steps away from the unit across the beautifully landscaped grounds. There is a tennis court on the property.

The furnishings are a relaxed, tropical Hawaiian style. The second floor location offers you an expansive view of pool, ocean and grounds. Also, the two bedroom/two bath layout works perfectly for either one or two couples. The master bedroom has a lanai (balcony) and faces the ocean, so you can't get any closer to the sound or view of the ocean. There is also a large lanai off the living room with chaise lounge, chairs and table. You can enjoy the relaxed atmosphere by breakfasting on either of the two private lanais and watching the ocean, exotic birds, beautifully landscaped grounds or relaxing with a glass of wine at sunset.

Watch the sunrise over the ocean with a fresh cup of Kaua’i coffee. Then later, sip your favorite ice-cold beverage from one of the lanais after an incredible day at the beach.

The unit can be configured as two master suites, each with private bathroom.

We provide free wireless high-speed internet and a television in the living room. There is a blue tooth sound system, so you can play music through your smart phone either wirelessly or through aux cable provided. We have keyless entry into the unit, so you don't need to worry about losing a key. Parking is free and secured.

The kitchen features brand new quartz countertops, cabinets and appliances. There is a four-burner glass top range, large stainless-steel refrigerator, dishwasher and a built-in microwave. We have all the pans and kitchen supplies to cook a gourmet meal.

There is a full-size washer and dryer together with iron and ironing board for your use in the unit.

We welcome families, providing lots of games. There is a large grassy area right out front and the beach is only about 75 feet away, There is a heated pool for use by all Lae Nani guests and we have a closet with beach gear, beach chairs and boogie boards that you are welcome to use.

The Coconut Marketplace is an easy walk away and has many shops that cater to tourists. Kapa'a town is about a mile north of Lae Nani with bicycle, snorkel and beach gear rental, grocery stores (Safeway and Foodland), drug stores, banks, restaurants and farmer's markets. Rent bikes in town and take them onto the new bike path that begins in Kapa`a town and winds north along the ocean for many miles.

Walk to nearby Farmers Market at Coconut Marketplace every Tuesday and Thursday morning to buy organic locally grown freshly picked tropical fruits and produce, flowers, and drink fresh coconut juice.

There are also countless activities on site or nearby, from playing tennis at our very own court, to snorkeling, surfing, fishing, or hiking. For the golfer in the family, one of the most beautiful public golf courses in Hawaii, Wailua Golf Course, is just down the street. And for the outdoors person, there is kayaking the Wailua River and hiking to the beautiful Opaekaa Falls.

The front door also has a screen for additional circulation. Extra portable fans are on site.

We welcome you as our guests and hope that you will make our condo your home away from home during your visit to the beautiful Garden Island of Kaua’i.

Believe the Hype

Believe the hype: Lae Nani is everything you’d desire—and more. Our family of five enjoyed this wonderful home for a variety of reasons. To begin, the home is spacious and extremely well-appointed—from kitchenware to beach gear—and everything in between. The home owners certainly put plenty of thought in how to make guests comfortable. The location and grounds were top-drawer, manicured, magnificent, meandering down to a beautiful, uncrowded beach. The pool absorbed us for many hours—also uncrowded. From Lae Nani, we easily explored Hanalei Bay, Poipu and the immediate Wailua River. But, in truth, we spent most of our time in the comfort of Lae Nani. We’d certainly be happy returning here or recommending it to family and friends.

Just as they said- Paradise Found

This place was amazing! Pool was so close I could have thrown a tennis ball in it. The beach was just beyond, I would have needed a great arm to throw that one. Perfect beach for little kids and new swimmers; as there is a safe swimming hole protected by a rock barrier that gets fresh water at high tide..the beds were super comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked to cook anything. They have on hand sunscreen to pool and beach stuff. We will be back.

Thoroughly Enjoyed Our Stay Once Again

Having stayed at this unit last year as well, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay once again. The Lae Nani condominiums are located in our favorite part of the Island (Kapaa/Wailua area), and this unit is an especially nice one. In particular, the furnishings are very tastefully done, the kitchen is fully equipped, and the beds are comfortable. Two features that are special with this unit are that it has an in-unit washer/dryer (with many units, you have to use the group laundromat facilities) and the unit has AC in in both bedrooms as well as the living room. Although AC is not really needed/useful for 90% of the time, it is a great option to have when needed.We have also found the owner/manager of the unit, Ken Wachtel, very responsive and helpful. We are hoping to stay in this unit again.

Just perfect!

The condo was very nice, located on a perfect beach. Dining and shopping were in walking distance. The condo was well furnished, and we had everything we needed including beach towels and beach chairs. We loved that we could have the windows open on both the front and the back of the condo, so we could enjoy the ocean breeze. The entire property was well-maintained and beautiful.

Very nice condo community. Grounds well kept, beautiful ocean view, felt safe, quiet. Our condo was nice with amazing ocean view. It was clean with the exception of the main lanai off of the living room. Lanai floor had not been cleaned after the last party. The lanai floor was sticky and dirty. Some kind of "unknown" problem with the primary bedroom ceiling fan with light. The light was off when I went to bed but then in the middle of the night the light came on and it was unbelievably bright. Wakes you right up :( . The bed in the primary bedroom is very comfortable and my friend said her bed in the secondary bedroom was also very comfortable. We didn't use the TV, couldn't figure out how to use regular cable TV channels. Overall we rated the condo an 8 out of 10.

Lae Nani 223

This unit is just as beautiful as advertised. The view facing the pool and beach can’t be beat. The interior is tastefully decorated and spacious enough to comfortably host our larger family (staying in other units) for gatherings. Having 2 bedrooms was ideal for managing a child and a baby. It is surprisingly well stocked, both for the kitchen and the pool and beach. We only wish we knew all that was available ahead of time so we could have avoided bringing things that were already there (e.g. travel crib), Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Leslie and I were married on October 16, 1983 and have traveled to Hawaii several times. We have always wanted a home here but never found just the right place until Lae Nani 223. The unit, lush grounds and location was love at first site

Why they chose this property

Over the years we have traveled to Kauai and the other Hawaiian Islands with our four children. We fell in love with the Lae Nani community and unit 223 the first time we saw it. It is magnificently beautiful, calming, joyous and a place to just let yourself relax in the middle of paradise. If we could we would live here full time but, alas, the jobs call.
