Private Oceanfront Penthouse Lae Nani 231, New split A/C, Parking, AMAZING VIEW!

If you're flexible on travel dates see availability calendar here: https://www.vrbo.com/2522554?dateless=true
(VRBO has recently changed format to hide availability)

Lae Nani 231 is located on Kauai's beautiful coconut coast. The Penthouse overlooks the pool, lawn, beach, ocean and majestic mountains. We are located on the top floor in a corner end unit, which provides the ultimate privacy. Panoramic ocean views are available from the living room, dining room, kitchen and lanai. A new split A/C system was installed in April 2023 providing total comfort throughout the entire unit.

Just a short walk along the beach path you will find yourself at The Lava Lava Beach Club next door, which offers live music, pupus and dinner in a casual atmosphere right on the ocean. A few steps further up the beach is the famous Hukilau Lanai restaurant for a more elegant atmosphere. You're also a short walk to the Coconut Marketplace which offers several eateries, galleries, boutiques, a convenience store, as well as free hula shows M/W/F and a farmer's market T/Thurs.

In the unit you will find two Smart TV's in both the living room and in the bedroom. Both TV's are fully equipped with todays most current streaming options. There is Wireless High Speed Internet for you to use, and a 2.1 sound bar in the living room that allows you to stream music from your Bluetooth device.

The Living room and dining room are accented with bamboo crown molding and tiger wood floors.

The kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances including refrigerator with ice maker, dishwasher and stove. Also includes stainless steel cookware, coffee maker, Keurig, a French press and electric kettle. The counters are finished in majestic magma granite.

The Master bedroom is appointed with a king bed and a 14' memory foam mattress and luxury linens. All interior doors are solid teak, louvered island style.

There are rainforest marbled countertops in both bathrooms and inlayed marble on travertine floors. The Master bath has a large shower lined in travertine and decorative tile, a built in bench and hand held/stationary showerheads. Luxury towels and robes are provided.

The lanai is furnished with a bar height table that provides an unobstructed view over the railing. We have also provided two large cushioned chairs and an ottoman which is perfect for relaxing and reading or just enjoying the magnificent surroundings.

The sandy beach allows easy access for swimming, boogey boarding, or just floating in the warm waters of the Pacific. Most often it's quite safe but can be dangerous when surf is large. The 'keiki pool' is surrounded by lava rock to create a shallow natural pool with a sandy bottom.

Some onsite conveniences are coin-operated (Wash app available as well) laundry and gas operated barbecues. Enjoy the lighted tennis courts and large heated pool. These amenities are all exceptionally well maintained. The grounds are immaculate and lush with many local varieties of flowers and plants. Kauai is truly the 'Garden Isle'.

Lae Nani is centrally located on the east shore, and just a 30 minute drive to the north shore, Princeville and Hanalei Bay. Poipu beach is 30 minutes to the south.

Hiking, kayaking, snorkeling, and surfing areas are abundant. Waterskiing and wakeboarding are also available on nearby Wailua River. If oceanfront golf on a budget sounds fun, Wailua Golf Course is just a 2.2 mile drive away.


Convenient access to the Ke Ala Hele Makalae Path starts next door at Lava Lava. The more than 7 mile, mostly flat path is perfect for biking/walking. Rent a bike and explore this popular path that runs along the coconut coast from Lydgate Park all the way to Donkey Beach.

Please be aware that there is no elevator.

The kitchen had most of what we needed. Would've maybe liked a few more containers for leftovers. Laundry wasn't an "issue" but if you didn't bring enough quarters (2.50 to wash and 2.00 to dry), you had to download an app to use. Our only "complaint" would be the birds making a mess of the railing under the gutter and near the door access to beach stuff.The stopper for the main bathroom needs some attention. We had to operate it from under the sink. Not a huge issue.

Wonderful home just steps from the ocean! Amazing views from the back deck overlooking the pool and the ocean. Only challenge is it is on the 3rd floor so you have to go up 4 flights of stairs with heavy luggage. The location made up for the climb.

Thank you for your review. We do have it stated in the listing that it is stair access only. Trust me, we also wish their were an elevator, but that top floor view does make it worth it. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and please look us up when you are planning your next visit to Kauai!

A beautiful view of the water with the sounds of the waves in the background (or should I say foreground). Very comfortable condo. The beach was right outside the complex.

This has to be the most immaculate condo we have ever stayed in through a VRBO owner. The management team and I were in constant contact before and during our stay. The kitchen has every appliance amenity you could ask for, which is great if you are a foodie. The dual air conditioning in the unit is definitely needed. Kauai is the wettest island of all the Hawaian islands so the humidity level is always close to 100%. The ladies will appreciate not having to deal with humidity in the condo while doing their hair or getting ready for dinner. The view from the lanai is unmatched and breathtaking. This condo is an overall 10 stars!
