Prime Beachfront location at Lae Nani ~ Best of the Best !!
Please know we are awaiting your arrival at Lae Nani and have taken extra precautions in our cleaning methods with Covid infection in mind. Are you ready to relax?! Come to Kauai and stay at Lae Nani 513! Whether you want to lay on the beach all day, or explore the island, this condo is your gateway to paradise. Located on the ground floor and full of luxurious amenities, you can spend your whole vacation right here if you want. All resort fees/parking/WIFI included (and that can all add up!) Just a quick uber drive from the airport you can skip the rental car and walk to shopping, restaurants and more! A rental car facility is also just a 4 min walk if you want to explore the island. Parking is included, no extra fee.
Not all beaches in Kauai are swim-able or walkable (due to ironwood droppings, strong currents, and crashing waves) but Lae Nani’s beach is perfect! Swim out to the waves and snorkel by the coral reef (snorkel gear also available in our FUN closet) or float in the tide pool or the protected ocean rock lava pool. This beach is safe and swim-able for all, which really makes a difference. Prefer a heated pool? We have that too. Lae Nani also boasts a tennis court, on site BBQ’s (mmmm is fresh mahi-mahi calling your name?) and onsite laundry facilities (don't go home with wet dirty clothes. Feel free to pack less and travel light knowing washing is easy.)
Lae Nani 513 has a new updated kitchen, so you can actually cook! Fully stocked even with some spices, makes enjoying meals at home easy, and once you’re on island time, you may not want to go anywhere!
Want a little TV? We have two in the condo, with recordable DVR, Netflix, Amazon Prime access etc. Watch TV from a comfortable sectional while watching the waves! High speed WIFI is included, and a convenient docking station for electronics is on the desk.
Lae Nani building 5 is far from the parking lot noise, quiet and peaceful. Sleep soundly on a luxury King mattress in the master bedroom, dry your towels on a towel warmer, and spoil yourself with slow days. The ocean breezes keep the condo cool, but just in case you mind the heat, we've installed A/C for sleeping. This ground floor unit has fully unobstructed views, no railings, or sidewalks, just rolling waves and sunset skies, with sea and mountain views wishing you good morning and good night.
Our fun closet is here to make life easier for you, boogie boards, golf clubs, snorkeling gear, beach chairs to take on your adventures (just bring them back!) - all here to make your trip that much more fun! At night walk the tropical gardens with tiki torches lit, and sip cocktails with the waves rolling in.
Ahhh, Kauai, and Lae Nani 513, a special retreat of relaxation and ease, I think it’s calling my name now!
Any cancellations due to covid will be fully refunded.

Sharon gave us an incredibly friendly and informative welcome letter that gave us all the information we needed for our stay. This is a super location. Being on the ground floor only steps from the beach was perfect. We loved being able to walk to several good restaurants, too.
We vacationed in Kapaa in December 2024 and loved it which is why we returned in January 2026. This time our experience has been even better and Lae Nani is the reason. The condo was so comfortable and the property is lovely. The hosts were very helpful and accommodating.
Great location in a quiet area. Easy to walk to restaurants or to use as a base camp for travels all over the island. The beach is literally right there!
Awesome location and comfy quarters. We really enjoyed the great views and having Lae Nani's beautiful coastline right outside the patio door. Sharon was very responsive to a couple of minor issues. The unit was very clean and well-organized and we had a comfortable stay. Bedroom AC works fine. The patio doors provide great cross-ventilation with the bedroom windows in back, and combined with the ceiling fans we enjoyed a the ocean breeze day and night.
Steps to the sand. Beautiful landscaping. Gorgeous beach with swimming areas.Did not want to leave! Very nice unit with updated kitchen and bedroom air conditioning. So relaxing. We will be back!
Everything was perfect. The view, proximity to Princeville and Poipu, comfort of beds, A.C, start up supplies, communication, ease of getting to the beach, and cleanliness were all spot on. I couldn’t improve on this in any way… except a longer stay!
Comfy island-themed condo provides easy access to the beach and all the amenities to make you feel like home! Wonderful personal touches with the owner made the experience even better! Lae Nani is a beautiful property and the beach is great. Will definitely stay here again.
People in Kauai are so kind and friendly! We love coming here. The view of the ocean from the lanai, and inside the home through (clean) glass's doors and windows, is spectacular. We sat for hours watching the waves, clouds, and surfboard riders. The grounds are a well manicured garden of tropical plants. There were always flowers in bloom. The lawn is a unique springy grass that feels lovely beneath your feet. The condo was immaculate. The beautiful, updated kitchen had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable and the bedroom has shutters on the windows, in case you want the room darkened. An AC unit kept the room a perfect sleeping temperature when it was warm outside. We love the expansive shower with a lovely rain shower head. Pluses for us included the full bathroom and a half bath as well as two lounge chairs on the lanai. The host is super responsive and provides great information to prepare for and enjoy our time here. We liked the secure guaranteed parking area. You hardly want to leave Kapaa. Grocery shopping, many delicious restaurants within walking distance, and boutique shopping are nearby. We walked every morning on the ocean side boardwalk and paths each day. This was our second visit and we already reserved time for next year! We can hardly wait!!
Everything was better than expected. Great location, well stocked with everything we needed and then some. Nice location with easy access to beach and other amenities. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and appreciated the thoughtful hospitality. We will be back.
Lae Nani 513 is a lovely condo with a spectacular view of the ocean, beach and gardens. It is very well equipped. BBQ's are available by the pool. The beach area has a protected area for safe swimming for children and a nice beach area beside it for snorkeling or playing in the waves. Stores for groceries or shopping are nearby as are several restaurants. The bedroom area is are conditioned and there are several overhead fans for hot days. Great location halfway up the east side of the island.
Beautiful grounds. Great Ocean view and sounds. Loved the location...close to restaurants and close to North and South shores with less people. Comfortable. Would stay again.
Sharon was a wonderful host, very responsive, everything as advertised and then some. Location couldn't be beat, entire island was easily accessible from our place near Kappa. Would definitely recommend and hope to stay again.
We had a great time on this beautiful piece of property! The grounds are beautifully manicured and the ocean view is incredible!! The accomodations were terrific and there's clear communication with the owner! Great memories were made here!

About the host
Hosted by Sharon French
We are original owners of this glorious speck of paradise. We now divide our time between the California desert and Reno, Nevada, and find we just never get enough of our Kauai home. We love it!
Why they chose this property
We love serenity and privacy and we get both here. We’ve tried the crowded pool areas of luxurious hotels, but prefer to sit on the lanai and watch the waves roll in peacefully. The ocean changes weekly according to the moon and tides - incredibly fascinating!
What makes this property unique
We feel like this condo sits on it’s own little island - no walkways in front, no parking lot behind. These days builders would not be able to build as close to the ocean as this condo sits. We found it back when we sure couldn’t afford it, couldn’t even use it for many years and too young to think about risk in those days. We feel blessed indeed!!
