Lae Nani 231 is located on Kauai's beautiful coconut coast. The Penthouse overlooks the pool, lawn, beach, ocean and majestic mountains. We are located on the top floor in a corner end unit, which provides the ultimate privacy. Panoramic ocean views are available from the living room, dining room, kitchen and lanai. A new split A/C system was installed in April 2023 providing total comfort throughout the entire unit.
Just a short walk along the beach path you will find yourself at The Lava Lava Beach Club next door, which offers live music, pupus and dinner in a casual atmosphere right on the ocean. A few steps further up the beach is the famous Hukilau Lanai restaurant for a more elegant atmosphere. You're also a short walk to the Coconut Marketplace which offers several eateries, galleries, boutiques, a convenience store, as well as free hula shows M/W/F and a farmer's market T/Thurs.
In the unit you will find two Smart TV's in both the living room and in the bedroom. Both TV's are fully equipped with todays most current streaming options. There is Wireless High Speed Internet for you to use, and a 2.1 sound bar in the living room that allows you to stream music from your Bluetooth device.
The Living room and dining room are accented with bamboo crown molding and tiger wood floors.
The kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances including refrigerator with ice maker, dishwasher and stove. Also includes stainless steel cookware, coffee maker, Keurig, a French press and electric kettle. The counters are finished in majestic magma granite.
The Master bedroom is appointed with a king bed and a 14' memory foam mattress and luxury linens. All interior doors are solid teak, louvered island style.
There are rainforest marbled countertops in both bathrooms and inlayed marble on travertine floors. The Master bath has a large shower lined in travertine and decorative tile, a built in bench and hand held/stationary showerheads. Luxury towels and robes are provided.
The lanai is furnished with a bar height table that provides an unobstructed view over the railing. We have also provided two large cushioned chairs and an ottoman which is perfect for relaxing and reading or just enjoying the magnificent surroundings.
The sandy beach allows easy access for swimming, boogey boarding, or just floating in the warm waters of the Pacific. Most often it's quite safe but can be dangerous when surf is large. The 'keiki pool' is surrounded by lava rock to create a shallow natural pool with a sandy bottom.
Some onsite conveniences are coin-operated (Wash app available as well) laundry and gas operated barbecues. Enjoy the lighted tennis courts and large heated pool. These amenities are all exceptionally well maintained. The grounds are immaculate and lush with many local varieties of flowers and plants. Kauai is truly the 'Garden Isle'.
Lae Nani is centrally located on the east shore, and just a 30 minute drive to the north shore, Princeville and Hanalei Bay. Poipu beach is 30 minutes to the south.
Hiking, kayaking, snorkeling, and surfing areas are abundant. Waterskiing and wakeboarding are also available on nearby Wailua River. If oceanfront golf on a budget sounds fun, Wailua Golf Course is just a 2.2 mile drive away.
Convenient access to the Ke Ala Hele Makalae Path starts next door at Lava Lava. The more than 7 mile, mostly flat path is perfect for biking/walking. Rent a bike and explore this popular path that runs along the coconut coast from Lydgate Park all the way to Donkey Beach.
Please be aware that there is no elevator.
Mahalo for visiting our site! We look forward to hearing from you.

The grounds are beautiful, as is the condo we stayed in. We had a stunning view of the ocean, which we enjoyed from our deck overlooking the pool and grounds. Everything was absolutely lovely! The bed is comfortable, both air conditioning units worked wonderfully in both the living room and the bedroom. They were so appreciated when the offshore hurricane made it too windy to leave the windows open.
Our only complaint, which is very small, is that there are only four plates and four dinner forks in the kitchen. There are plenty of cups, glasses, spoons and knives, but having only a limited number of plates and forks became a daily annoyance. We hand washed the forks and bought paper plates so we didn't have to run an almost empty dishwasher every day. This is a luxury condo, and we felt having an adequate supply of dishes should be expected.

We absolutely loved our stay in Kauai!! The condo was PERFECT for us! We appreciated having A/C in the main living room and a separate A/C for the bedroom. The weather was beautiful but it is humid. Being on the East Shore is super convenient. We ate several times next door at Lava Lava! Food, drinks and service were top-notch with live entertainment daily (though ends at 9:00). Kauai is unbelievably gorgeous, with an abundance of beautiful landscape and birds. If nightlife is important to you-Kauai may not be the place for you. Things close up @9/10. We didn't care because our days were so full! One recommendation to anyone: Get the "Revealed Kauai" app!! I truly can not recommend enough. It is GPS guided and it was like we had our own personal tour guide in our car!! FULL of interesting information as well as restaurant and shopping recommendations. We used in addition to the book. We cancelled several tours I had booked once we realized how comprehensive the app was! We could go at our own pace-seeing what was important to us. The condo was a perfect place to come home and wake up to every day!!! We WILL be back!

Quiet, beautiful property and condo. Centrally located. The Lanai with its ocean view was our favorite place to hang out. Kitchen perfect. Bed comfortable. Shower spacious. Will be back next year if they’ll have us.

We loved the property outside. It was well maintained and our condominium has a great view of the pool and ocean. All amenities were great in the condo. The only negative thing I have to say is the cleanliness of the condo. It appeared only the bed was changed and dishes done. There was a ton of dust and the floor was not swept. I’m not sure what cleaning company is being used but I would re evaluate using them for sure. All in all I would book it again.

We had a wonderful stay at Lae nani. The grounds are immaculate. It was easy to access all areas of the island for day trips. We would highly recommend staying here.

This condo was exactly what we needed for a week in Kauai. It is a great location. We did not need to drive far to get to Poipu in the south or Princeville in the north. The lanai gives you a great view of the ocean, allowing you to listen to the waves crashing as you enjoy your morning coffee or a cocktail in the evening. The grounds are very well maintained. The pool is very nice. And the community is very quiet. The Property manager of the condo was very responsive with my questions better our trip. We couldnt have asked for a better experience.
10.0 / 10.0
Couldn't have asked for a more perfect stay. Property is accurately described. Bed was super comfortable and kitchen well equipped. The grounds are impeccably kept. Location is convenient for exploring the island. Check in was a breeze. We really enjoyed the lanai. Views are fantastic! Easy walk to Lava Lava Beach Club and Coconut Market. Highly recommend this property if you are planning a visit to Kauai.

My stay was even better than imagined. You really are very close to the ocean and it's incredibly quiet and peaceful. It was so nice that my mom and I chose to spend most of our time on the patio listening to the birds and waves. We even saw a few cardinals!
At night, we really enjoyed seeing the stars and the pool, which was softly lit in a beautiful blue tone. The pool light shuts off around 10pm, and that's when you can really see the stars.
Kauai is known for its beauty, so choosing to spend quite a bit of time here says a lot. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
We plan to stay here again very soon!

This was a trip with a good friend of mine for a relaxing week. The property fit our needs well and we loved the close walking proximity to the coconut marketplace and restaurants

We couldn't have been happier with the stay. The decor made us feel like we were really in Hawaii and we thought it was one of the best units in the space. Unbelievable view, and such a relaxing, quiet community.

We absolutely loved this condo, the view and the location. Everything was well stocked and the bed was very comfy. Great stay! We will definitely be back!

We had issues accessing the property due to an incorrect code, which took a while to resolve with the property owner. The accommodation was lovely with an outstanding view, walking distance to shops and restaurants - a huge bonus. Some areas of the property were dusty and the lanai hadn't been cleaned. Overall, the quality of the furnishings, etc was outstanding. Although this was low season there was an extremely high number of families on resort with noisy, badly behaved children particularly in the pool. Owners we spoke to were shocked at the number of children and their behaviour. In spite of this we thoroughly enjoyed our week on Kaua'i.

We have been vacationing at Lae Nani for over 30 years. Amber’s condo is one of the best units. It is nicely styled, well stocked kitchen, plenty of beach toys, clean and A/C.
The lanai view is outstanding! We were given a local contact number, if needed.
Only recommendations I have is the replacement of the of the beach chairs and bedroom pillows. We are looking forward to our stay next year.

Loved this place. The view from our patio was great. The pool in the middle of the beautifully maintained grounds and the ocean just a little beyond that.
Kitchen had everything we needed and maybe a little more. Very comfortable, very nice.

Located on the third floor of the Lae Nani condo complex, this unit is very nicely furnished with a fully-equipped kitchen. This area of the Kauai Island is our favorite, and we would totally recommend this condo unit.

Absolutely perfect. We loved being on the east side of the island - easy, scenic drives to all spots. The view from the unit itself was spectacular, too. Beyond impressed with the responsiveness of the staff and overall how stocked it was for our arrival
10.0 / 10.0
The view is extraordinary! Location is close to the ocean, a beautiful grassy area and the pool. It is also central to excursions, shopping and restaurants. Within the condo is all that we needed; kitchen is well stocked and a great place to prepare meals. Air conditioning is a treat as well as the king bed. We will return!

The condo was as described as shown. Same with the views. We loved having our coffee in the morning on the Lanai, with our morning visiting local birds. The grounds were well kept and the other guests friendly. It was in a great location giving us access to many restaurants, shopping and a walking path to burn off those vacation calories. Looking forward to our next stay.

When got to the condo it was filthy so we called the contact person she said she new nothing about us renting then she hung up on us. We ended up paying a lot more for a place to stay.

Loved the view, the amenities, the pool and the condo overall. Air conditioning didn’t work but was fixed easily. A few ants in the bathroom. Property manager didn’t respond as quickly as we thought she should have. Would most likely stay here again though.

Highly recommended

This updated condo was a delight to stay in for two weeks. It has every amenity you could ask for and more. Just make sure the occupants know it’s a 3rd story unit with no elevator. We will be back.

This condo has a great view. It gets the morning and afternoon sun with a perfect breeze off the water. The kitchen has everything you need. The bed was very comfortable. We will definitely consider staying here again when we return to Kauai.

Daniel out host was superb extremely responsive to any issues and very accommodating to any requests or issues that occurred. To improve on the space we would suggest improving the quality of the mattresses and bedding and to have some form of cupboard in the second bedroom or at least hooks in the hallway for coats. Other than these minor issues the space is amazing - huge area for kitchen and for hanging out and the view of course is exceptional with very easy access to the best parts of Tel Aviv. For those who have difficulty with stairs be forewarned that their is no elevator and heavy suitcases may be an issue up the many flights of stairs. Thanks or providing an excellent space .

Generally, our stay was great. A plumbing leak was taken care of promptly. I found that, as opposed to many stays years earlier, that the general public was allowed to use the grounds -- even the pool. I don't think management was aware of this since it occurred over the holidays when the office was closed. In any case, our stay was great and we would return.

We absolutely loved the view ~
your deck is amazing to enjoy the morning sun and afternoon sunsets!
The cozy bath robes are a nice touch!
Great location easy for getting around the island!

We love the location and the facility because it is quiet and the people are overall very friendly.
The unit had a sliding door screen that was really hard to open and close. It was as if there was no wheels on it.
The portable air conditioner did cool the bedroom but it didn't cool the rest of the unit. The A/C exhaust fan was piped out the window and the hot air just came back in through the louvered glass window above it. We didn't use it because it didn't make sense to circulate the hot air.
Not all the window worked and the screens were a bit bent open and dirty.
8.0 / 10.0
This unit has everything you need for vacationing in Kauai. What I loved the best was the view from the lanai, living room and kitchen. It overlooks the beautiful pool and grounds, with the ocean and mountains in the background. A great beach is steps away as well as restaurants and shopping. Any issues we had were promptly addressed by management.
10.0 / 10.0
We had a great stay at this property. Really well stocked kitchen and a super comfortable bed. Would suggest upgrading the pillows to match the mattress - they were quite flat :)
The complex is really nice and quiet. The pool was incredible - great temperature and felt super clean. Don't miss the Tues/Thurs farmer's market in nearby Coconut Marketplace - the best!
A super lovely place to stay!
