We have stayed at Lae Nani many times, many of them in this unit. The view of the bay and the magnificent gardens is superb from the lanai. The apartment sparkled from a recent update that included new kitchen appliances. Overall, we had a thoroughly enjoyable visit.

Loved staying in Pap'aa - great location, could go north or south very easily. This condo is south of town so didn't need to go through the 'busy' section of town to get to Kihei. The A/C's were wonderful in the bedrooms too!

Fantastic Stay

Great place. We absolutely enjoyed our stay. Central location on the island and close to shops, restaurants, etc. Overall property was very well maintained. One suggestion I have is to replace the carpet and put in wood floors. We will definitely come back again.

A lovely home away from home

Our party has been visiting Lae Nani since the early 1980s and stayed at about a dozen different properties in the complex. This unit ranks among our top three favourites for its location on the beautiful grounds of Lae Nani and the numerous amenities it offers.

Beautiful View!

This view was amazing! We loved being able to sit out on the lanai and enjoy the beautiful scenery. The beach was awesome and we enjoyed taking our 1 year old there because part of the beach has no waves and makes it very nice to wade and play in the water. The property was very pretty. Within walking distance to a fun restaurant next to the ocean.

Lae Nani’s location cannot be beat. We enjoyed the breathtaking views every morning in this tranquil paradise. Listening to the melodic waves of the ocean just feet away was a true gift. The grounds are beautifully maintained and the private beach is spectacular. . The condo is nicely decorated and well equipped. We are grateful we found this rental and will be back for years to come.
