About this property

Prime Beachfront location at Lae Nani ~ Best of the Best !!

Please know we are awaiting your arrival at Lae Nani and have taken extra precautions in our cleaning methods with Covid infection in mind. Are you ready to relax?! Come to Kauai and stay at Lae Nani 513! Whether you want to lay on the beach all day, or explore the island, this condo is your gateway to paradise. Located on the ground floor and full of luxurious amenities, you can spend your whole vacation right here if you want. All resort fees/parking/WIFI included (and that can all add up!) Just a quick uber drive from the airport you can skip the rental car and walk to shopping, restaurants and more! A rental car facility is also just a 4 min walk if you want to explore the island. Parking is included, no extra fee.

Not all beaches in Kauai are swim-able or walkable (due to ironwood droppings, strong currents, and crashing waves) but Lae Nani’s beach is perfect! Swim out to the waves and snorkel by the coral reef (snorkel gear also available in our FUN closet) or float in the tide pool or the protected ocean rock lava pool. This beach is safe and swim-able for all, which really makes a difference. Prefer a heated pool? We have that too. Lae Nani also boasts a tennis court, on site BBQ’s (mmmm is fresh mahi-mahi calling your name?) and onsite laundry facilities (don't go home with wet dirty clothes. Feel free to pack less and travel light knowing washing is easy.)

Lae Nani 513 has a new updated kitchen, so you can actually cook! Fully stocked even with some spices, makes enjoying meals at home easy, and once you’re on island time, you may not want to go anywhere!

Want a little TV? We have two in the condo, with recordable DVR, Netflix, Amazon Prime access etc. Watch TV from a comfortable sectional while watching the waves! High speed WIFI is included, and a convenient docking station for electronics is on the desk.

Lae Nani building 5 is far from the parking lot noise, quiet and peaceful. Sleep soundly on a luxury King mattress in the master bedroom, dry your towels on a towel warmer, and spoil yourself with slow days. The ocean breezes keep the condo cool, but just in case you mind the heat, we've installed A/C for sleeping. This ground floor unit has fully unobstructed views, no railings, or sidewalks, just rolling waves and sunset skies, with sea and mountain views wishing you good morning and good night.

Our fun closet is here to make life easier for you, boogie boards, golf clubs, snorkeling gear, beach chairs to take on your adventures (just bring them back!) - all here to make your trip that much more fun! At night walk the tropical gardens with tiki torches lit, and sip cocktails with the waves rolling in.

Ahhh, Kauai, and Lae Nani 513, a special retreat of relaxation and ease, I think it’s calling my name now!

Any cancellations due to covid will be fully refunded.

Everything was perfect. The view, proximity to Princeville and Poipu, comfort of beds, A.C, start up supplies, communication, ease of getting to the beach, and cleanliness were all spot on. I couldn’t improve on this in any way… except a longer stay!

Second time

This is the second time we’ve stayed at this property. The first time was in 2021 just after lockdown ended. The condo is just as lovely as we remembered. You can’t be walking out to the lanai and having the ocean in front of you. We basically could sit near the ocean or sit on the porch under the shade and enjoy the view. There was an issue with one of the bathrooms, but the property manager was responsive, and the problem was taken care of. If you’re looking for a great place to stay on Kauai, that is right at the ocean, look no further than this place.

Fabulous location!

There are not enough superlatives to describe this condo, resort grounds, swimming pool and proximity to the ocean!! The king bed is very comfortable and we only needed the AC for 3 nights during our 3 week visit. We rented bikes and rode the gentle Kapa'a bike path, which mostly borders the ocean, every day. We return home renewed by the sun, the oceanic orchestra, and the peacefulness of this place. We might even miss the ubiquitous wild chickens of Kauai!

Truly Wonderful

Paradise found, indeed! Beautiful apartment to match the perfect location, fully stocked kitchen (even Kauai-grown coffee) and beach closet (including snorkeling stuff), all the amenities. Plus just steps away from great little farmers market and shops. Amazing, too, that all residents at Lae Nani are quiet, polite and friendly. We can't wait to return to just this spot.

Pics don’t do justice to how great this place is

The host made the stay very pleasant for us. The property was neat and clean with stocked kitchen. There’s A/c and fan in the bedroom that helps with the humid daytime weather. Trade winds post sunset makes the weather pleasant inside the house though. If we visit Kauai again, we would definitely stay here. 5/5 totally. Amenities - 20 steps to the beach, central location to North and South beaches (1hr each), great food nearby, close to Safeway, Long Drugs/CVS, close to airport, Costco.

The perfect setting on Kauai

I was actually considering giving a bad review so this unit wouldn't be booked!!!!! Sharon is wonderful to deal with, and everything was even better than it looked on VRBO! Incredible setting, best location in the complex, amazing ocean sounds! The unit is so comfortable, great bed and bedding (which is important to me!). We loved that there were 2 bathrooms as my husband is an early riser, and I am not. He didn't have to come in the bedroom if I was asleep! We booked our 3 weeks for next year while we were here so we wouldn't miss out...most relaxing vacation ever!

Wow - This is really beachfront

We absolutely loved the condo. It was in a good locale for us, roomy and WOW the view and proximity to the water was to die for. We loved sitting on the lanai in the morning with coffee and tea before setting out for our day's activities and then again in the evening. Loved the sound of the surf day and night. The grounds, gardens and entire property was beautifully maintained. The condo was well appointed and we took advantage of everything from the updated kitchen appliances to the canvas shopping bags, beach towels, beach chairs, noodles, small coolers and even some of the snorkeling equipment. We would definitely recommend this condo to friends and hope to return on another trip to Kauai.

This IS "best of the best"!!

This condo was perfect in every way! The condo is in a great location that is 5 minutes from a grocery store or 5 minutes from a few different GREAT restaurants and shopping! The condo is 25 steps from the ocean and a perfect beachfront location. (it really doesn't get better than this!) The kitchen has everything you need, the bed is extremely comfortable and the daybed is in a perfect spot to just lay down in the morning and watch the sun rise! Sharon was extremely accommodating. Our flight changed from the original schedule and Sharon let us stay in the condo later than the regular check out time. She was quick to reply back with any questions we had and gave us great tips on Kauai. We will definitely be back to Kauai and we will definitely be back to this perfect location!

Paradise Home on Kauai

This property is exceptional. Updated and immaculate. Very comfortable. Location is amazing. Cannot be beat. Oceanfront, beachfront, and the grounds are breathtaking. Walking distance to shops, restaurants, grocery stores, etc. So much more than what we expected. You can tell that the owners put love and take great pride in their "home". The personal touches and communications (too many to name) were very helpful and made us feel right at home. This home had everything. Nothing was overlooked. We cannot say enough. Thanks to Sharon and Dennis for sharing their beautiful home with us. We hope to come back soon if they will have us. Pete and Deb

Bryan B., Mountain View, CA

Good apartment, but a few imperfections

Our stay at this rental was overall good -- it had a nice, central location, a very nice kitchen with great appliances (including a waffle maker!), a nice bathroom and shower, great view of the ocean, and well stocked closet of beach and pool toys. The unit was very clean and quiet, and the complex also has an excellent pool that is rarely overly crowded. The only things that made our stay less than perfect were the bed-- it felt a little worn and had depressions on each side where I presume previous guests had slept, the lack of A/C -- it is OK if the trade winds are blowing hard, but as this is a middle unit on the 1st floor of a 3 story building, it tended to get hot and humid at night and smelled a bit musty when we came in, and the beach -- although there is a small beach in front of the unit, it is pretty steep into the water and not very swimmable -- it's more for looking than laying out or swimming. However, one of the best beaches for swimming is a very short (5-min) ride away.

I can’t say enough about how nice this condo is. Literally steps from the sand and located in the center of everything. We easily traveled from the North to the West being what it seemed like was directly in the middle of the island. Sharon is an excellent host and even allowed us to check out late when our flight was changed to an evening flight. The kitchen is fully stocked and there are plenty of towels, even beach towels. The 2 bathrooms came in super handy also. There is no air conditioning in the living area but there is in the bedroom. There is a screen door on the entry door so that you can get a cross breeze so it’s not uncomfortable at all. I wish we could stay here every year but Hawaii is too far for us to travel each year.

Wow, I'm actually struggling to find words. This place was simply magical. The grounds, pool and that beach, oh my, are all so lovely. And you can't beat the location of this unit! We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the chaises on the patio. It was hard to leave. The condo was wonderful, too. It has a newer kitchen and bathrooms. Thank you for the rain shower! I've enjoyed well stocked VRBOs before but their "fun closet" was jammed. There was even a basket full of sunscreens. All that and unmatched communication! Sharon was very prompt in every message and her instructions were thorough and accurate. Delightful! We will return!

About the host

Hosted by Sharon French

Host profile image
We are original owners of this glorious speck of paradise. We now divide our time between the California desert and Reno, Nevada, and find we just never get enough of our Kauai home. We love it!

Why they chose this property

We love serenity and privacy and we get both here. We’ve tried the crowded pool areas of luxurious hotels, but prefer to sit on the lanai and watch the waves roll in peacefully. The ocean changes weekly according to the moon and tides - incredibly fascinating!

What makes this property unique

We feel like this condo sits on it’s own little island - no walkways in front, no parking lot behind. These days builders would not be able to build as close to the ocean as this condo sits. We found it back when we sure couldn’t afford it, couldn’t even use it for many years and too young to think about risk in those days. We feel blessed indeed!!
