My husband and I could not have been more pleased with this condo. It was beyond perfect and the photos are accurate. Owner was very responsive and helpful. APARTMENT: Immaculately clean, and the kitchen had lots of tools to cook with. Everything was so comfortable, from the lazy boy chairs in the living room to the bed. We traveled in August and actually didn't need the air conditioner with the cross breeze and the fans...and we typically always need air conditioning. Still it was comfortable knowing there was a back-up. The balcony has a great view of the beach, spent a lot of evenings out there eating some poke & sushi we picked up from the grocery store a mile up the road. THE BEACH: The beach is gorgeous. The surf gets a little rough in the afternoon, but that wasn't a problem because there is a little 20 ft wide protected enclosure made with lava rocks so you can still be in the ocean without worrying about the waves. You can't really see it in the pics, but it's completely safe for little kids and people who aren't as comfortable with the ocean. LOCATION: about as "central" as you can get in Kauai, equally situated b/n the north and south shore. We loved having the ability to make a decision on where we wanted to go in the morning and not having to worry about planning a long excursion. EXTRAS: We loved the basket of beach stuff (chairs, mats, foam floaty things). I also loved the tropical themed decor that managed to create this exotic hawaiian oasis atmosphere in a non-tacky/sense overload way (I know this seems silly but when I travel to a tropical island, it's fun to stay in a place that keeps reminding you where you are rather than stuffy modern decor). Also, detailed welcome packet (so thoughtful!!) written by the owners with lots of helpful hints and what is around. OVERALL: Highly recommend, we would love to stay here again!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, adventure seekers, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thank you so much for your stay with us! We really feel proud and honored that you enjoyed our condo and location on Kauai. Our cleaning lady is the best! The view of the beach and ocean is my husbands favorite for evening wine and "Pupu's"...(snacks). Looking forward to your future return to Kauai....Aloha for now, Linda Herceg

Our high expectations were completely surpassed on our first trip to the Coconut Coast. We arrived on Kaui with plans of being married, taking in some adventures & mostly relaxing. The condo was clean, well stocked & comfortable. From the top floor lenai you have a great view of the beach, pool & surrounding landscape. Our first day there we toured the northeast coast seeking the perfect spot to exchange our vows & to our surprise, we couldn't find a more beautifull, private & romantic beach than the one right there at Lai Nanni. We had contacted a heartwarming local woman who gave us a perfectly memorable christian cerimony with many great pictures. Even though we found the best dining & shopping to be a short stroll down the beach ( be sure to make reservations), location is a key element to this place so you can go north one day & south another. I would highly reccomend booking a trip with Captain andy on one of his rafts. INCREDIBLE!!!!! This place is perfect for anyone looking for a very relaxing & casual place where you can completely unwind.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, age 55+, girls getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, sightseeing.
Owner response: Congratulations on your marriage! We are so happy you trusted us for your very special time on Kauai. Lae Nani is truly a great place for "first timers"! Thank you for sharing and taking the time to let us know how we measured up. Wishing you two a very happy life and a future stay on this beautiful island we love. Mahalo, Linda Herceg

My husband and I have traveled to Hawaii every year we have been together (19) save one. Kauai is our favorite island, and the one we have traveled to the most. We have stayed at the well-known resorts and rented homes with friends. As we were traveling alone this trip, we chose to stay at Lae Nani, and we are so glad we did! The condo had everything we desired (and more!) on our vacation. We had contemplated staying a night in Poipu, but after spending the day in Poipu, we chose to return to Lae Nani. We wanted to get back to the comfort of "home"! The views from the lanai are fantastic and the trail along the beach for a morning stroll is easily accessible. Linda provides a binder which includes menus of local restaurants and information regarding local shopping and activities which is a great resource for those unfamiliar with the area. The condo was not only well-appointed, it was immaculate. Call or email Linda and reserve your stay today; you'll be glad you did!!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, age 55+, tourists without a car, families with young children.
Owner response: Thank you much for choosing our condo at Lae Nani! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay with us and hope you return soon. We just installed new carpet and have updated our condo, for even more comfort for our guests. Mahalo Nui Loa....Linda

We enjoyed our stay for four days in this condo overlooking the pool and the ocean. The grounds were well maintained and the condo was clean. It was supplied with every conceivable gadget one could possible need. I also like having the 1 and 1/2 bathrooms. The location of the resort is half way between the north and south shores which makes it easy to explore the island. We enjoyed our stay and would go back again.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thank you so much for your recent stay with us! We hope you can return to Kauai and stay longer some day...Aloha for now, Linda Herceg

We have just returnted from staying at your wonderful condo. We found the condo very clean, beautifully decorated and well equipped. The kitchen is better stocked than home. We also appriciated the extra convenciences like beach towels and beach equipment (cooler, boogie board, beach chairs, etc.). Everything in the place is top of the line. The oceanview was a perfect dream. We never used the AC because of the great cross-breeze you could get between the bedroom and the living room. Your communication and service made everything a holiday to remember. Hope we get a chance to enjoy Kauai and your condo again some day. Thanks again for everything.

What a fantastic condo!!! My husband and I spent a week here for our 10th anniversary and loved every minute of it. It had everything we wanted... including the most amazing view ever! The information that Linda leaves for her guests to help with finding fun activities was unlimited. Our favorite was the kid map of the island. Go figure! The condo was quiet, clean and had great beach access, which included a kiddie "pool" in the ocean. One of the great things about this condo is the location in Kapaa, which is right in the middle of both north shore and south shore. It was our first time to Kauai, so the location made for an easy day drive to go either way and spend a fun day wherever! I would highly, highly recommend this condo!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, age 55+, adventure seekers, sightseeing.

Our May 2010 Kauai Vacation

We stayed in Kauai in May 2010 for two weeks. The condo was very nice and very clean. The condo was decorated with wonderful hawaiian taste. We have never used this web site before and we were a little nervous but after communicating back and forth with Linda she made our decision to rent her condo an easy one. She was very informative and she always replied promptly to our questions. The condo is on a beach and has a very nice pool. There was always someone doing some kind of work around the property keeping its beauty perfect. When we arrived everything was exactly where Linda said it would be. There were no surprises. The pictures on this website are exactly the same as we saw with our own eyes, except of course that pictures really don't show the true beauty of the grounds, they are amazing. While we were there we would walk over to the the coconut market for breakfast at Eggberts and for dinner at TC Island grill. We also loved the fact that the property had some very nice weber grills for the evenings when we just wanted to stay in. We did many excursions. We would recommend all of them. They were the Smiths' Tropical Luau which had excellent food and entertainment and was only 10 minutes away from the condo. We went to Kipu Ranch and had an adventureous ATV ride with the tour guide pointing out many beautiful areas. We went kayacking on the Wailua river and hiked to the 120 foot secret falls which was amazing. My favorite excursion was ziplining on 7 zipline courses. This was way out of our comfort zone but once we finished the first line we loved it! We definately would do this again. We went tubing down the old sugar irrigation system and what a great ride this was. I thought it would be pretty slow but it was infact very fun and we got wet alot. We also explored the Na pali Coast by going on a sunset cruise with Holo Holo Charters located at Port Allen Marina. They were nice and had a pretty good chicken and rice dinner. We also took a bike ride tour down Waimea Canyon with Outfitters kauai which was very fun. On our off days we drove to a beach called Hanalei Bay Beach which was very secluded and the most beautiful beach we have ever seen. Another beach we went to during our stay was the Anini Beach. This beach was not really for laying out on but it was a good spot to snorkel in. Thanks again Linda and John for sharing your wonderful island home with us. We hope to come back soon!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers.
Owner response: Thank and Aloha for your recent stay in May 2011. We are lucky to have such nice visitors to our condo on Kauai! We try hard to make your stay comfortable and give you the best value for a "comfort of home" experience. It is a pleasure for us that we can be a small part of a very mememorable time in your travel adventures. Thank you so much!! Looking forward to your return someday....Mahalo, Linda Herceg

This is our 8th trip to Kauai, and we had the best 15 days ever! The condo is great and all Linda's special touches make it really nice.. The view is awesome and we made it up for every sunrise. My husbands favorite place to eat is the Bull Shed. He likes the prime rib there. God willing, we will be able to return again next year.

Lae Nani Resort is a long time favorite place on Kauai and has an ancient Hawaiian ceremonial site that is visited by many travelers worldwide. It is also a very popular wedding back drop too. Living here is a special treat.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
Staying on the east side of Kauai is best because you can access the north shore one day and then the south shore or west side another without getting too tired driving. Of course, no need to go anywhere if you want a great beach and relaxation with many restaurants and shopping you can walk to. Amazing sunrises and a quiet retreat.........!
