THE AMBIENCE
If thoughts of azure oceans, romantic getaways and sunrise mornings are just some of the peaceful images that make you happy, then this is the oasis of your dreams. Turn your dreams into lifelong memories at our Lush Tropical Oasis - #523 Lae Nani Resort on the beautiful Royal Coconut Coast in eastern Kauai. Near Wailua Bay in Kapa'a, this is an enviously breathtaking 1 bedroom, ocean-front, beachfront condo located in the premier and preferred building #5 at Lae Nani, and the property is situated for perfect access to all parts of the island. Simply a spot of heaven you just may never want to leave.

Imagine lounging on your private lanai where the breaking waves, along with warm tropical trade wind breezes, glorious sunrises, amazing moonrises, and sparkling night skies will have you lost to all of the cares of the world. The beautiful sandy beach is just a few steps away, and the 180 degree view from the deep blue sea to the bay, along the dramatic coastline, and capped with the stunning Hokonui mountain peak is spectacular! Sweeping views of the deep blue pacific ocean from the kitchen, dining area and living room, with comfortable lounge chairs and table and chairs on the lanai, will keep you from ever wanting to leave!

Depending on the time of year of your stay, from the lanai you may get to admire breaching whales off the coast, observe sea turtles swimming or lounging on the beach, watch kite surfers flying through the air, or you may even get to cheer on outrigger canoe race or two! Plus, in addition to the unobstructed view, guests appreciate the enhanced security and privacy that a 2nd floor unit provides. (Please note - the unit is up one flight of stairs - no elevator). And, when it's time to get out and play, you can walk to nearby shops, restaurants and beaches, rent kayaks and bikes, or hop in your car, private tour, or Kauai bus and head any direction for a day of fun.

THE DETAILS
This remodeled retreat is so refreshing – you will not want to leave. The bedroom features a California king size bed, a new cool-sleep memory foam mattress, new luxurious linens and pillows, and air-conditioning for those warmer tropical nights (please note that a/c is located in the bedroom only). We also provide robes for you both - perfect for those crisper mornings on the lanai. The newly renovated bathrooms are stocked with all of the necessities needed for a worry-free stay, including towels and toilet paper, soap and shampoo, plus for those longer stays you'll have a washer and dryer in the complex with complimentary detergent at your fingertips.

Should you be in the mood to cook, you will love the well-equipped kitchen that includes all of the basics for cooking and BBQ, like your basic spices and condiments, a dishwasher, range, full size refrigerator and a microwave for those wonderful morning, afternoon, or evening meals on the lanai. That is, of course, if you can pass up the Passion Bakery Cafe (just down the street), whose pastries are a Kauai favorite, or the Lava Lava ... 300 steps from the front door! Finally, flanking the lush grounds and pool area are gas BBQ grills, perfect for you to enjoy so many of the fresh fish options that Kauai has to offer.

The condo is wonderfully stocked with the many items needed to enhance a tropical vacation, including beach towels, picnic coolers, beach chairs, a beach umbrella, 2 flat-screen TVs, games and movies. The kitchen has a great selection of spices, and other sundries, and there is also a new Keurig Supreme coffee maker and a sampling of Kauai Coffee K-Cups to kick-start your day.   The pool is the perfect spot to relax after a day of adventure, and you will appreciate how beautiful and well maintained the tropical plants and property are kept by the on-site care takers.

THE LOCATION
Located squarely along the Royal Coconut Coast in Kapa’a, this vacation retreat is just 10 minutes from the Lihue airport. In addition to nearby shopping at the Coconut Marketplace (a 3 minute walk), and a wonderful variety of restaurants (our favorite being the Lava Lava on the Beach right next door), many of Kauai's top activities are also nearby, to include the Wailua Golf Course (known as the best play for pay in Hawaii), Lydgate Park (a wonderful tree-lined picnicking beach with jetty-enclosed safe swimming and snorkeling havens), Wailua River Kayaking, numerous hiking trails, the Smith Family Garden Luau (an island favorite), and the "Ke Ala Hele Makale" - the 7.5 mile bike path that runs along the coast.

The Kauai Bike/Walking Path passes along the front of the property, and is the launching point to access nearby activities. Wailua Bay beach, a great walking beach where you can find little treasures, and it's only a 15 minute walk and Lydgate Park is a short drive (or 20 minute walk) to the south, and is known for its sea ponds (full of baby fish), and the perfect spot for swimming and snorkeling. .

THE SPECIFICS
This oceanfront suite offers Complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi and Free Parking. The space is a generous 850 square fee, and the over-sized lanai is another 150 square feet There is a keyless entry system for convenient and safe check-in, and also strict disinfecting & cleaning measures in place. As mentioned above, Air Conditioning is in the bedroom only. This is a 2nd floor unit with no elevator, however parking is very convenient.

We personally manage our condo, and we have secured the best on-island staff on Kauai - their attention to detail is 2nd to none.

Perfect location- lovely beach
This condo was perfect for us and In a great location - midway between Hanalei and Waimea. Amazing! We saw it all. The beach below the lanai is great for swimming and riding the waves. The condo was clean, the kitchen well stocked with utensils; and there were beach towels, boogie boards, and snorkel gear to borrow. Condo is well positioned in the complex. No noise! Really lovely. And the half bath makes all the difference! 😁 thank you Teri!

Luxury Comfort in Paradise
The condo is amazing! The oceanfront views are gorgeous and the property has a beautiful garden, pool, shared barbecue grills, tennis courts, laundromat, and easy access to the beach. At the beach there are two areas; an enclosed shallow tide pool protected from the waves which is great for simple relaxing and the open ocean in a crescent shaped cove There are some strong waves but manageable and it’s perfect for boogie boarding. It is a private property with a gate and the condo is located on the second floor. The king size bed is super comfortable and the AC unit in the bedroom kept the room very cool at night. The condo is beautifully decorated with a full kitchen, dining room, living room, lanai on the balcony, master bedroom with an en suite, and an additional half bath at the entrance. We were enthralled by this condo and hope to come back in the future.

Great base for Kauai relaxation and adventures
It was hard to leave such a perfect place. Spent many hours on the patio taking in the ever-changing ocean view. We appreciated all the amenities and small details that were done just right. The stock of spices and even some unused food items was a bonus. We used the barbecue area by the beach and found them to be super clean. Suggest adding some paper or plastic plates to the unit for those like us who want to picnic on the grass or tables by the beach. We repurposed some containers from the Passion Bakery for our dinner. The resort was well maintained and family oriented. We kept windows open and didn't use the A/C. It was surprisingly quiet at night and we didn't hear any roosters, traffic or neighbors. Have to say mention the resort curiously lacked a beach shower and pool bathroom. Beach was really nice here with decent snorkeling. Rented kayaks from Scotty's and enjoyed the river and secret falls trip. Our fav adventure was the Da Life waterfall rappel trip. Horseback riding in poipu was great too! Tons of restaurants within walking distance. Fish tacos and the seared ahi salad from Sleeping Giant was our favorite. Awesome communication with the owners and we will be back for a longer stay next time!

First Stay in Kauai
This was our first visit to Kauai and we were unsure where to stay. We felt this was a good location for going anywhere on the island. This property was clean and as described it was nice having the beach chairs, umbrella and cooler. The grounds of this property are well kept.

Beautiful view. Cozy, well stocked, nicely decorated, clean condo. Great location in the middle of the island so not to far to visit the North or South island. Very comfortable bed. Laundry room (coin operated) a short walk from condo. Beautiful grounds and really nice and private beach. Would recommend and plan to stay again in future visit. Great communication with owners.

Very Lovely Condo
The condo was a wonderful place to stay. It was well furnished, welcoming and everything we could possibly need was available. Only comment we have and it is not a complaint only a comment. The bed, if you are less then 6 feet tall you need a step stool to get into it, which we found in the closet. We did have a minor issue during the week, called the owner to let them know and it was fixed within 20 minutes might even have been less. We so enjoyed our stay, it was hard to leave, but it was probably the best vrbo we have stayed in. Will definitely come back. We loved it and Terri and Ron made it the best!

Beautiful loacation if you like stairs and bacon
The property is excellent. The owners have thought of so many amenities. Cookware, yoga mats, ukelele to practice with, furniture on lanai, fans for the rooms that don't have AC, plenty of towels, hangers, seating, items in kitchen like seasonings, saran wrap, area to take off shoes with hooks nearby for hats/wraps. Our biggest issue was that we would have appreciated a thorough overview of the steps going down and then up in advance. We knew there was no elevator, but it felt like this key info was avoided. And the smells from neighboring units is not their fault, but hard to avoid when we needed patio doors open for cooling. Six our of 7 days, the smells took away from the atmosphere. The parking lot was difficult to manuever for mid-size cars. We parked by the laundry unit and walked.
