About this property

A True Oceanfront Condo! Freshly Updated! Centrally Located 5 Star Views!

Aloha! Welcome to our freshly updated oceanfront condo located on the "Garden Island" Kauai.
- The condo offers stunning views of the culturally significant Wailua Bay and the lush mountain range beyond. My grandparents’ home, the condo was sold, with regret, in 2016, but joyfully reacquired by us in 2021! This 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo is truly steps from the beach, as well as a short walk to fine dining and shopping. Completely remodeled and furnished in 2021, this condo has all the amenities including custom cabinets, wide plank oak flooring, designer-picked furniture, and art. This condo provides you with everything you need to relax and enjoy your island stay! *This condo does Not back to the parking lot.
- The complex, appropriately named Lae Nani, meaning "beautiful face", boasts abundant tropical foliage and is nestled on the coast of Kauai's Wailua Bay. Wailua Bay is one of the most sacred places on the island and the ancestral home of the Hawaiian Royals. The stone remains of a sacred temple, known as a "heiau”, sit on the edge of this property, along the coast, and is still visited and used by local Hawaiians today.
- Lae Nani has a private gated parking lot, a tennis court, a heated saltwater pool, gas grills, a beach, Keiki (children's) pool, fish, turtles, good snorkeling, and the occasional "endangered" native monk seal.
- Lae Nani is located on the east shore in the town of Kapa’a. Kapa'a is centrally located on the island putting everything within easy driving distance, including the airport which is only 10-minutes away. In short, everything you need for a perfect getaway to paradise!
*Maximum Occupancy 4 Persons
*No Children Under 13 Years
We provide:
-Stocked kitchen
- Living room with 55" smart HD TV
- Front Bedroom - Ensuite - King Bed/ Full Bathroom
- Back bedroom - Ensuite - King Bed, Full Bathroom, and 40" smart HD TV
- Oceanview lanai
- High-speed internet and cable
- Free parking in a gated lot
- Tennis court, swimming pool, beautiful beach, and lush tropical grounds
- Boogie boards, beach chairs, ice chest
This condo does Not have A/C - We rely on the Tradewind and ceiling fans to provide cool breezes throughout the apartment. The jalousie windows in the bedrooms as well as in the ocean-facing living room can be opened to allow for the flow of air. Kauai is in the tropics, and it does get warm in the summer, but we have never felt A/C was necessary and would detract from the Hawaiian experience as well as the island's sweet scent of plumeria.
If you are unable to find availability for your holiday plans, please, view our "Brown Family" condo, also listed on VRBO. Listing# 2690924. It is located in building 5 - Unit #526

We had a wonderful stay on the island of Kauai at Kara's property. The property is in a prime location making it easy to get to all points on the island. The condo was clean and stocked with everything and more than you needed. We loved having all the beach gear! The oceanfront location was amazing. We enjoyed sitting out on the lanai in the morning and evening listening to the ocean waves. Kara, the host, was very responsive and accommodating of our needs. We hope to vacation there again.

The unit was very clean with a beautiful view and very nice amenities. Our only minor complaint was the living room furniture was not real comfortable for relaxing/watching television, but we didn't need to do much of that in beautiful Hawai'i.

The condo was everything we hoped for and more! The decor, the view, the property were all impeccable. We enjoyed every morning and evening out on the lanai taking in the beautiful view of the coast. We fell asleep to the sound of the waves every night. The property was gorgeous with manicured lawns and tropical plants everywhere. Our host provided detailed information on places to eat and things to do. The condo was extremely well equipped; the host thought of everything! She was very responsive if we had any questions. It was a wonderful experience and we would highly recommend!

The moment we walked into Kara's condo we knew we were in for a fabulous stay. The view from the patio was breathtaking, the rooms were perfect to support 2 couples and the kitchen was so well appointed we thoroughly enjoyed all meals in. Too many special decorating touches to list but the condo was top notch. The grounds of the property were also gorgeous. We took the 2-minute walk to the beach and/or the pool every morning then enjoyed coffee on the lanai. Couldn't be happier with our stay. Kara was also so responsive and helpful. Truly a 5-STAR stay.

No detail was missed. Loved the two master suites with king beds! The grounds were impeccable. Parking is super convenient. The best unit in the complex! Thank you fior everything!

Perfect stay!

Beautiful condo with a wonderful view! Condo was even better than the pictures and hotel quality, which was perfect for our stay. Nice beach, very convenient and short walk to restaurants and shops. Loved the restaurant on the beach next door where we chose to have cooked breakfast most days and drinks in the evening. Great location for driving around the island as well!
