About this property

Walkable to town and Oceanfront with A/C!

Now Featuring: Air-Conditioning in the bedroom and living room!

Conveniently located between the south and north shore is this wonderfully appointed one-bedroom, one and a half bath, ocean-view condo at Lae Nani. Tucked away off a quaint side street in Kapaa, Lae Nani condos are walking distance to Coconut Marketplace, the Tuesday afternoon Farmers Market, Passion Bakery, Imua Coffee, Russel’s Vegan Café, Hukilau Lanai known for their excellent local cuisine, as well as Lava Lava Beach Club famous for their tropical craft cocktails and tables in the sand. This condo has an amazing oversized, covered lanai with two chaise loungers perfect for taking in the big ocean views. It’s a wonderful spot to relax and watch the sunrise while drinking your morning coffee.

Once inside, the owners have thoughtfully designed the space with an elegant mix of unique, retro Hawaiian décor. The kitchen has updated appliances, all the necessities for meal prep, and a breakfast bar with two stools. The dining area features a gorgeous, marble dining table and seating for four. The entertainment area features a smart TV (streaming services available), cable, and high-speed internet throughout the condo. Condo is located on the 3rd floor (please note, there is no elevator).

The garden bedroom features a king-sized bed with fresh, white linens, a modern dresser, and a cozy sitting area. There is also an updated, en-suite bathroom with a shower/tub combo and beautiful, quartz vanity. There is an additional half bath off the main living area of the condo.

Lae Nani offers a wonderful list of amenities. Swim in their ocean front pool, play tennis or pickleball on their private court, or walk along the white sand beach affronting the property which continues to a protected cove called Baby Beach, perfect for little ones. Lae Nani is also adjacent to an ancient Hawaiian heiau. Immerse yourself in the unique culture of this area. The owners of this condo have also provided tennis rackets, boogie boards, a pickleball set for four, and snorkel sets, free for guest use.

Come stay in this centrally located gem! Kapaa town is only thirty minutes from the north shore, twenty minutes to the airport, and just forty minutes to the south shore making it the perfect jump-off point for adventures. It’s also Kauai’s biggest town with a Friday night art-walk, Saturday night drive-in movies at Coconut Marketplace, the nationally recognized coastal bike trail, newly dedicated skate park, and a central walking area with shops, galleries, and restaurants. Whether you spend your entire vacation here or a few days between shores, you’ll love this wonderful spot and all that Kapaa and Lae Nani have to offer!

Rates do not include taxes, cleaning and applicable fees.

Great Place to Stay!

Beautiful setting just steps away from the ocean and beach. The host was wonderful, low stress. The condo was nice at 808 square feet very well kept up. It was magical to sit on the lanai and watch and hear the waves on the beach. Walking distance to numerous restaurants and a convenience store to buy groceries and meals. There were many days we didn’t have to use our car. We would definitely use the same condo again in the future.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed here for our honeymoon and we loved it. We really wanted to explore the whole island and this was a great central location to do that. Both the north and south sides are a quick drive away. The pool is really big and the beach in front of the resort is actually really great. I would definitely recommend this condo to everyone!

Lae Nani 434 was absolutely perfect to celebrate our honeymoon!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo we stayed in was perfect for our honeymoon celebration. It was incredibly clean and has an absolutely amazing ocean view. Waking up every morning hearing the waves crashing on the beach was incredible. Even without air conditioning, the condo was still very pleasant and cool at night with the ocean breeze and fans in the condo. The location is perfect; plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance. We have basically no complaints and had an excellent time staying at Lae Nani 434!

October stay

The view was very nice from our balcony, the kitchen was well supplied. There is no elevator and this unit in on the 3rd floor, so anyone with bad knees, be aware. the unit does not have a central A/C but instead a unit in the living room. There is multiple fans, however, the bedroom and bathroom still become very warm and stuffy. We had both the ceiling fan and floor fans going--all night.

Condo with Ocean View

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The pictures on-line were not accurate. It showed a ground-floor, back patio that led straight to the beach. However, when we arrived, we found out this condo was on the 3rd floor! My husband and I have bad backs so this was very hard for us. Additionally, there were stains on the mattress cover, cigarette burns on the kitchen counter, and numerous holes in the walls. Although the location was great for walking to shops and restaurants, the inconvenience of walking up three flights of stairs made it very difficult. The condo itself needs some work.

Great views, comfy but...

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Pros:- comfortable bed and overall apartment layout- roomy for 2 people - amazing view with lanai to enjoy it- fairly complete kitchen for a vacation home- easy walk to the beachCons:- no AC, and trust me, when it’s 93F out with 90% humidity, open windows and fans just don’t cut it.- vacation rentals all around which means it can get loud, the 10pm quiet time is cleary not observed the same way by all tenants/renters- since there is no AC you have windows open 24/7 which means there is no noise insolation whatsoever, and even with “closed” windows, they don’t seal, so 0 noise insulation - traffic is really bad on Kauai due to all kinds of road work, and the street this apartment is on has a limited left turn ability when coming out, which means you can add 2-5min to your commute if you are going towards Lihue anytime after 10am- Kapaa is a very card dependent location

Best complex in Kapaa

We’ve stayed at this complex before but couldn’t get the one we normally rent. This one was a bit expensive comparatively but we loved being on the top floor and there were some nice extras provided. The spices were much better stocked than usual and the pots and pans were actually decent. We do a lot of our own cooking when we visit so it’s nice to have a well-stocked kitchen. There was an issue when pest control showed up without warning from anyone. We let them come in, even though that meant leaving them alone with our belongings and we had to be gone for most of the day (which we were planning anyway, but we were worried about our stuff getting sprayed.) I notified the manager but didn’t get a reply until more than 24 hours later and they weren’t very apologetic about it. They also gave us two codes for the gate, which was confusing. The right one was buried in the body of the confirmation, and the wrong one was at the top. A little proofreading wouldn’t go amiss. Otherwise we’d book again if we can’t get our normal place. We liked this one better but it’s substantially more expensive.

Great location but......

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Arriving at night, the complex is very dark. Arrival Instructions need to be more detailed, 'after entering gate make an immediate right-go up the incline even though the arrow points out.’Someone needs to be available after hours to answer calls. If we hadn’t gotten out & walked around to every building we would not have found it. Lending library as well as books & games inside the unit, nice. Bed is comfortable but pillows are not. Kitchen faucet must be turned to cold to stop the flow of water. Master bath needs a light that allows you to see, very dark-no stopper in tub. Having large fans in every room & the window a/c certainly helps cool the unit-detracts from the beauty & are not shown in the photos. Lanai lovely furniture-pillow on footstool needs repair. Gorgeous view. Could use a broom to sweep the front door mat when taking shoes off. Appreciated the sweeper although you can only use it pulling it toward you. Lots of hangers in the closet & plenty of drawer space. Hair in tub & black bedroom lamp desperately needs cleaning. There were no beach items in the condo even though they are shown in the photos & stated in the description. No baking dishes in the kitchen. After regular maintenance completed cleaning the lines in the bathroom, they completed their work & left. Shortly after, a high pitched sound started coming from the bathroom. It would start/stop every few seconds. Called the rental company, no answer. Next day was told to call owner. Ad says TV is 72”. It is actually more like 48". Guest book said that wine & beer was left for us & they had just left the day before. There was nothing.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time in Kauai as usual but we had some issues with the condo. We were a bit disappointed in the air conditioning. We came into the unit with the air already on and 2 fans going to move the air around. The back bedroom was not getting any of the air conditioning until we moved another fan into the back room. The ceiling fans were going also. We were really disappointed in the condition of the carpet in the unit. There were stains in the entry, dining room, living room and the master bedroom. The exhaust fan / light over the range did not work. The icemaker in the refrigerator did not work. The refrigerator handle was disgustingly dirty. The area rug on the lanai was moldy, and the chair cushions on the lanai were torn. It was not what we were expecting compared to the other units we have stayed in at Lae Nani.

Our stay at Lea Nani

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our favorite condoplex in Kapa'a. The grounds are beautiful, easy and direct beach access with laundry on-site. Our condo was nice, cable tv, and newer updates. This unit was closer to the main road and we did have a lot of road noise. The sound bar to the tv was easy to connect however, the cable/tv switched itself off, often. You would need to reboot, find your app/program and reconnect the sound bar. The unit is fully carpeted in the common areas, we didn't love that. The lanai storage closet had lots of toys to borrow, we added to with with nice pool floats. The kitchen was small but functioned well, it came with cooking tools, soap, trash bags, we added to the spice collection for the next guest. I think anyone would be happy to vacation there.

Only downside - The portable AC was loud and in the livingroom, needed fans in the bedroom, also loud. We did sleep, but if you're sensitive , may be an issue for you. Also, being an island destination, a couple of beach chairs and cooler wouldve been the icing on the cake.
