We have stayed in several VRBO rentals and this unit is one of the best we have visited! The condo is like new and very tastefully decorated. There was nothing that we needed during our stay that wasn't furnished. The unit is within walking distance of several very nice restaurants(I highly recommend the Hukilau Lanai) When viewing the photos remember that a camer lens distorts distance. The unit is actually closer that the pictures depict. Have no concern about no A/C. The ocean breeze along with the ceiling fans make for very pleasant temps. We can't wait until we can return to this lovely unit.

Owner response:Thank you, Mark. We look forward to your return. Mahalo!!

Lae Nani Review

Hello, Kristine, David and I had a wonderful time at your lovely condo--and on Kauai in general. We are very active and oriented to outdoor activities, so we were pleased with the beach access, and the proximity to kayaking, hiking, snorkeling and other great activities. Everyone we met was very friendly and helpful. We found your condo to be everything you promised. It was clean, well-equipped, and the entire atmosphere was exactly what we had hoped for and what we needed. We will definitely return and we will certainly choose your condo when we do. Best regards, Louise and David

Another Great vacation in Kauai

Date of Stay: 11/26/11 Review Submitted: 12/26/11

Once again we had a wonderful time in Kauai and Lae Nani, even with weather not as nice as last year. This time we were able to go to Smith Family Luau. Food was great, service was just as good and it was fun to do it in more of a “family” atmosphere. The Luau is little touristy as any these type of events, but if you are in Kauai and never been to one, we highly recommend it. This luau is much better than similar events at other places. Bike path in Kapa’a is another good bet and you can easily rent 2 bikes for two hours right behind the Ono Family Restaurant in Kapa’a. Two hours is just enough for a relaxed round trip on the path. Also this time we did a helicopter tour with Blue Hawaiian and flight over Kauai is definitely worth the expense. Book on internet at least 5 days ahead and you can save over $50.00 for a couple. The best Restaurant for the $ and also quality seafood is only 7 minutes away walking north on the beach - Hukilau Lanai in Kauai Coast Resort. We also recommend Monicos Mexican restaurant also walking distance from the condo - great fish tacos and other fair. We are back home for two weeks now and we are already prepared to return to Lae Nani and Kauai.

Beautiful Beach/Pool Front location

Date of Stay: 08/16/11 Review Submitted: 09/09/11

Everything described about this place was correct and I found it to be better than what I had hoped. It was easy to find and to access. The place is very elegant. The property is quiet on beautifully maintained landscaped grounds. You have access to a beautiful pool, baby pool, private beach and many more amenities within walking distance. There is a lanai that you can sit on for hours and gaze out on the pool, beach, or bay. The condo is extremely clean and well kept. It is well furnished with every amenity you can think of ( and many you did not think of). It is very quiet and serene especially at night. I can't think of a place I stayed at that was cleaner or more elegantly furnished then this place. You can walk out of your condo and you have the option of lounging at the pool, floating in the baby tide pool, taking a swim or a jog up the beach. There are restaurants and shopping centers within a short walking distance as well. In short, this place was beautiful, elegant, and serene!!! The only thing I didn't like was having to leave! I would recommend this place to many couples, newly weds, or start up families. It was fantastic!!! Well worth the trip!!!

Guest Review

We very much enjoyed the time we spent in your condo in Kauai. We chose Kapaa because it was so central to everything on the Isle. The location and setting of your condo was perfect for us and the proximity to the airport, costco, and other shopping made Lae Nani the ideal location. The condo itself was very comfortable, clean, and offered all the little extras that made our stay so enjoyable and relaxing. The setting was spectacular, the grounds beautifully kept, the grounds staff friendly and efficient,and the extra large pool more than we expected. We would definitely stay in your unit again when we return to Kauai. Things couldn"t have been better........... Norman and Arlene Butler.... Lethbridge, Alberta Canada

Owner response:Aloha, Norman and Arlene, Many thanks for choosing my condo at Lae Nani for your special getaway. I am pleased to know that you were able to enjoy your time on island. It is a rejuvenating and enjoyable place. I look forward to your return in the future. Mahalo, Kristine

Vacation on Kauai

Guest: G&G (Tucson, Arizona)
Date of Stay: 05/10/11 Review Submitted: 05/27/11

We stayed at the condo for 2 weeks and enjoyed it very much. The condo and adjoyning property was well appointed and clean and the staff for the whole property was friendly and if approached, helpfull as well. The area has easily accessable restaurants, shops and entertainment venues. We were surprised that a rare Monk seal choose to take a rest at the properties beach. Kristine is very pleasant and straight forward to deal with and in case of any communication problems, she is very helpful in straightening those out. My wife and I can only recommend her highly and given a chance to go back to Kauai, would try to stay at her place again.

Owner response:Aloha, G & G, Thank you for being my guests. Your kind comments are much appreciated. You were exceptionally considerate of the property. We look forward to having you visit again. Mahalo, Kristine

This Place is "Heaven on Earth!!!"

Guest: Deborah F (Massachusetts)
Date of Stay: 10/27/10 Review Submitted: 01/01/11

"PHENOMENAL," sums up our experience at this Lae Nani condo unit. From the first moment we stepped through the doors, to the saddening reality of having to leave... each day was pure pleasure, full comfort, every amenity needed was provided, simply... "heaven on earth!" The view from the living room/dining room/balcony deck was postcard perfect! We even could enjoy the gorgeous view while preparing light meals in the well-stocked kitchen. We enjoyed the grills for preparing some of our meals, as well. The beach area... including the natural coral rock safety barrier, was fabulous for safety during the rough winter ocean currents. It was relaxing lounging by the pool, and very private. We were so appreciative for the beach chairs and small cooler for our numerous picnics while on our island excursions. We loved every minute of everyday! We are already looking forward to a return trip (hopefully in 2012) and will definitely plan to stay at this lovely Lae Nani condo unit. Thank you so very much, Kristine & Irving, for sharing your "slice of heaven on earth" with us. It truely made our 25th anniversary memorable! Suggestions for anyone reading this review: LOOK NO FURTHER! THIS IS THE BEST PLACE TO STAY WHILE ON KAUAI.... MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS TODAY and have a wonderful, relaxing, comfortable vacation! A must "to do" while on Kauai... the helicoptor tour of the island (we chose Blue Hawaiian) & Zip Lining (we chose "Just Live"). Any Quilters? Don't miss the quilt shop in Lihue. Best Hawaiian shaved ice on the island? Our vote: the Wishing Well on the North Shore. Best "safe" winter beaches? Lydgate (next door to the condo) and Poipu (located on the Southshore). There's so much more we could share... but we'll leave you with one last word....it's "PARADISE!"

Owner response:Deborah, Thank you for being our guests. We are thrilled to know that you also think this is the best place to stay. We appreciate having you in our tropical getaway and special home. Kristine

We had a great time on our stay on Kauai. Your condo was perfect. We were nicely surprised when we entered in to see the beautiful view of the ocean, pool and how tranquil the place was. The condo was very clean, all necessary items provided and we even found coffee filters, spices and multiple other things in your cupboards to help in everyday food preparation. The furniture in the condo and lanai is very nice and of good quality you expect in the home, not rental. We had a wonderful weather all the time, but if not your nice flat screen, DVD and video would come handy. We did use it few times after renting DVD from Redbox dispenser in Foodland store nearby. We did not have a bad meal on the island, but we especially liked Hukilau Lanai restaurant just two complexes north from us. We recommend walking the beach path and you will land there in 5 minutes. Also the Farmer Market (there is one in Kapaa on Wednesday at 3 PM) is a must. All the fresh, beautiful fruit and so little time. We stayed in Kristine’s condo 10 days and we thought that this maybe little long for Kauai, but we were very surprised and wished we could stay a month or more. There is no AC in the condo, but that is really a plus as you are not jumping from warm to ice cold and with being so close to the ocean and all the windows that can be safely left ajar, there is a constant breeze through the unit, and nice fans (3) helped along and make the unit very comfortable all the time. We loved the sound of the ocean, the trade winds and the view is great. We can’t wait to come back and hopefully we will be able to stay in unit 123 again! Thank you Kristine.

We had a great time on our recent trip to Kauai. Your condo was perfect. It's a very relaxing spot, right near the beach. The view from the Lanai is great. It was nice to have the BBQ's, and the tennis court. Would definately stay again if we're ever back in Kauai! Thank you so much! Kathy and Scott

Owner response:Thank you, Kathy and Scott -- You were very nice guests and our condo was left in excellent condition. Kristine
