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.

My husband and I stayed here for our 10 year wedding anniversary and had the most incredible time! You can’t be more oceanfront than this property, the sounds of the ocean waves at night and during the day were truly therapeutic. The location is perfect, walking distance to restaurants and shops, plus you’re right in between north and south shore. The unit has everything you need too! We even stayed during pretty high temps, but the fans work really well in the living area and the AC in the bedroom was all you need. If we ever get the chance to escape the kiddos again, we know where we’ll be staying!

Perfect getaway location

We really enjoyed our stay in Kauai. Kapa'a is a cute town and centrally located to the places we chose to visit. The townhouse was nicely decorated with full amenties, beach supplies and a comfortable bed! And, the beachfront was beautiful! The setting was peaceful and relaxing while also a short walk to the shops and market at coconut marketplace. And there were several nice restaurants within walking distance and a few more within a mile drive. We had an amazing week.

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!

Im so happy we chose this condo. Nae Lani is perfectly situated for a trip to Kauai. The beachit sits on was one of our favorites that we visited. The condo has everything you would need and is situated really nicely on the property with a wonderful balcony that i could easily live on. If i was being overly critical the ac in the bedroom was a bit of a issue for sleeping but I'm a hvac guy so its easy for me to critique. Overall 10 out of 10, we will be back.

From the moment we walked in we knew we had picked the right place. The condo had absolutely everything we needed. And the view was spectacular. The balcony is very private.

Great condo on Kauai

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 dining recommendations were good and we loved walking to Passion Bakery and bringing back breakfast to enjoy on the balcony while watching the waves.

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!

The condo is beautifully updated and the community was friendly. I loved waking up the sounds of the ocean in the morning. The beach is quiet and secluded. It was a great to be able to walk ~20 ft to the beach every day. Additionally, you are able to walk down along the beach to a couple different restaurants and small beach bars. All around it was paradise!
