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.

Our favorite place

We have stayed at Lae Nani for many years and this unit for the past 5 (or 6...I lose track). It is our favorite. We love the view and location plus the unit set up and furnishing is very nice.

A place to remember.

The place was excellent. Great view, wonderful bed, beautiful decor (including the glowing tiki sculpture) and comfortable furniture. Couldn’t have been better, except for maybe the slider screen that needs some help. We will definitely come back someday.Mahalo

Great Condo and Location

What a great place to stay—truly the perfect location. The beach, restaurants, shops, and grocery stores are all within easy walking distance. Plus, it’s centrally located on the island, which made it super convenient for day trips to both the North Shore and Poipu Beach.The condo itself was clean and comfortable, with a cozy bed, soft pillows, and even a sound machine (which I personally loved!). The AC worked well, and the view from the condo was beautiful.The host was very responsive. The Keurig was broken when we arrived, but there were two other coffee makers available—and by the next day, a brand-new Keurig had already been delivered. Great service!If I had to mention one downside, there was a bit of nearby construction, but we were usually out hiking before sunrise and only noticed it when we tried to sneak in an afternoon nap. But honestly, who needs a nap in paradise?We would absolutely stay here again!

Lovely Visit

Absolutely gorgeous view and property grounds. Very convenient to lots of great food and easy drive to other parts of the island. Unit could be upgraded a bit. Specifically cushions on both living room and on lanai furniture sink in the middle and need cleaning. Most decorations lovely tropical but probably need replacing due to age. Nice and clean.

Perfect Kauai condo!

This condo was exactly what we needed for a week in Kauai. It is a great location. We did not need to drive far to get to Poipu in the south or Princeville in the north. The lanai gives you a great view of the ocean, allowing you to listen to the waves crashing as you enjoy your morning coffee or a cocktail in the evening. The grounds are very well maintained. The pool is very nice. And the community is very quiet. The Property manager of the condo was very responsive with my questions better our trip. We couldnt have asked for a better experience.

We Plan to Return ASAP!

The grounds are beautiful, as is the condo we stayed in. We had a stunning view of the ocean, which we enjoyed from our deck overlooking the pool and grounds. Everything was absolutely lovely! The bed is comfortable, both air conditioning units worked wonderfully in both the living room and the bedroom. They were so appreciated when the offshore hurricane made it too windy to leave the windows open. Our only complaint, which is very small, is that there are only four plates and four dinner forks in the kitchen. There are plenty of cups, glasses, spoons and knives, but having only a limited number of plates and forks became a daily annoyance. We hand washed the forks and bought paper plates so we didn't have to run an almost empty dishwasher every day. This is a luxury condo, and we felt having an adequate supply of dishes should be expected.

Overall, a Nice Stay in a Pretty Condo

This is a lovely condo in a great location and is a good value. Its beautifully decorated, the bed is insanely comfortable, as is the furniture. The view from the lanai is gorgeous. It has easy access to the pool, beach and the lovely grounds. Walking distance to shops, restaurants and a great farmer's market. It was great to walk right over to Lava Lava Beach Club. It is fairly quiet. Our stay, however, was complicated by the last-minute sale of this condo days prior to our arrival. This caused me a little bit of extra stress during our trip prep. The new owners agreed to honor all the terms of our original rental agreement, which they did. Even though, the issues we did have were resolved, I feel they are worth noting. First, when we arrived, after dark, the condo was completely dark. Upon entering, we quickly noticed that the condo had not been completely cleaned and prepared for our arrival. As it was late, and we were so tired from a long day of travel we let it go and went to bed. A quick message to the property manager, resulted in our cleaning fee being promptly refunded. Very appreciated. I guess there was a miscommunication on their part. Things do happen so we shrugged it off. I think for future trips I will verify everything a day or so before arrival. The condo was generally well stocked. We even found some spices. Lots of pretty glassware and dishes, along with insulated mugs to take to the pool. We did find a few things lacking. There is no dish sponge provided, and I would have appreciated a good fry pan or griddle. Also, understand that you are only allowed 2 sets of towels per person. This was kind of a deal for us as we stayed 12 nights and had not planned on doing any laundry this trip, let alone the condo's towels in the coin op laundry, with no detergent supplied. After a lengthy e mail back and forth with the manager, we finally were able to get some clean towels mid stay. I appreciated the resolution, but it took a lot of effort to get there. Apparently, they are afraid if they allow too many towels, guests will leave them in a damp, mildewy pile. Hmm. Overall, it was a very nice stay, even with the hiccups that were resolved to our satisfaction. The only reason I would not stay again, is I have learned that being able to do laundry in my condo is a bigger deal than I realized, especially when towels are in short supply. .

Great experience! 15 minutes from airport, walking distance to Coconut Marketplace. This time of year the Lae Nani beach can have a bit stronger waves, but there is a calm tide pool on the property where you can enjoy. Place itself is very charming and comfortable stay.
