Luxe Beachfront Tropical Paradise
30+ 5 Star "Awesome" "Beautiful" "Bliss" Reviews and Counting! Please plan ahead as our calendar fills up quickly.
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. .

Lovely Lae Nani
This was our second visit to the resort - first stayed in building 3 in 2019. Loved the unit with the waves crashing on the beach. Beautifully appointed with tasteful art, elegant furniture, and a fully stocked kitchen. We cooked quite a bit and had everything we needed. Love the color scheme and beachy vibe of the unit. I really wanted to return to use the pool! It is an awesome pool, clean and large enough to get in some laps. Aloha and Mahalo for our tranquil Kauai vacation.

Stunning and breathtaking!
This condo at Lae Nani beach is beautifully decorated, spacious and welcoming. Expansive heavenly views of ocean, beach and lush, green landscape is captivating. Whether from comfortable outdoor lanai furniture or from inside the living room, relaxing in plush swiveling barrel chairs, this scene will take your breath away. Perfect location! Everything you need or want is here and from Kapaa you can easily navigate to anywhere you'd like to go on the island. Owners Teri and Ron are fantastic and property manager, Marvis, is truly an Angel. :) We loved our stay.

Awesome Place!
We had a wonderful time staying at Teri and Ron’s place in Kauai. It was perfect for us. Incredible views, a beautiful site and easy for us to get around to both sides of Kauai. Viewed whales and surfers from the deck. The grounds and buildings were very well maintained and everyone was so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

Gorgeous!
Great Condo! Clean, updated, super view! The grounds are gorgeous and peaceful with an amazing pool! Beach is small and calm, fun and peaceful for just hanging out and enjoying the ocean! Comfortable lounge chairs on the grounds! Amazing sunrises! Can walk to restaurants, but also an easy drive to anything in Kapaa and located centrally so you can drive to the other parts of the Island easily. Teri, the owner, was extremely easy to communicate with and very prompt. Bed is memory foam...just want to mention, since mattresses are a personal preference. I would definitely stay here again! Mahalo, Teri, for sharing your amazing condo!

Relaxing stay
The instructions about checkin & checkout were perfectly on point. Directions given from the airport were perfect letting us arrive and not be stressed about finding the condo. That being said it only got better from there, Teri & Ron have a spectacular place, right on the shoreline and there is a small beach just a few steps away. communication was also excellent since we had an issue with the lock that was easily explained by Teri & Ron. The location is quiet, except for the waves hitting the rocks but that's a compliment, not a complaint. if you require a/c just be aware there is a/c only in the bedroom but not in the rest of the unit. We had no issues since there was always an island breeze blowing. The info we received gave us some good recommendations for restaurants, food stores and sight seeing. We look forward to returning !

We had a great time staying in this property. Actual conditions matched the pictures/description. It was easy to reach all parts of Kauai from this location and the landscaping was great.

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.

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!
