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.

Fantastic Property!
What an amazing condo! It was beautifully decorated, immaculate, stocked with all we needed, comfortable bed and furnishings, great kitchen with plenty of really nice dishes, pans, utensils and spices. The owner really thought of everything we might need, including dishwasher detergent and filters for the coffeemaker. The location is perfect with a gorgeous beach right out your door! There were so many dining options within walking distance. It was easy to reach other parts of the island since it is about halfway between the north and south shores. We have already reserved this gem for next year! Can’t wait to return!!

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!

Amazing Anniversary at Lae Nani
We celebrated our 20 year wedding anniversary at Lae Nani in this wonderful condo. The pictures and description of the property was exactly as described. We spent every morning on the lanai with a bit of a morning shower, coffee, geckos and the chirping birds. Every evening on the lanai we reflected on the day listening to the waves crash, watching the tikis get lit, and the day come to an end. The condo is fully stock with beach goodies and several card and board games which we also enjoyed. Great accessibility to the coconut coast walking and biking trail which we walked after our coffee every morning. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and would absolutely return when we can.

Comfortable Condo, Great location
Everything was as described but even better. The living room was much larger than the pictures could show. Beds were very comfortable. High quality linens all around. Kitchen had every utensil you’d need. Lots of hooks in bathroom to hang wet suits, towels. Shower was large and has bountiful water flowing. The view/beach acres/proximity to shopping and restaurants is fantastic, about the same as if you were staying in a large hotel.

This was our second stay at this condo in two years. The location can not be beat. The communication with the owners is always easy and immediate. Our only complaint would be the unit is already booked for next year. Now what do we do? Looking forward to coming back.

This property is perfect. It is clean, well appointed, on the ground floor with nothing between you and the ocean except a few trees and the beach. The owner is very responsive to questions. The property is beautifully maintained and the manager of the property is also extremely responsive and competent. We loved our stay there and have already made plans for next year.

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.

This location cannot be beat for a paradise/beach style vacation. 100 ft from the ocean with an absolutely impeccable back yard leading up to the beach. Central location near airport makes it easy to get to adventures both on the north and south shore. The owners were great to work with and very hospitable. We would for sure go back!

Beautiful property in great location!
Ideal property for those who want to explore or just sit and watch the waves on your own little section of beach. The upkeep of the property and grounds is just world class and the unit is perfect for a couple or a couple plus 1. A clean and quiet little piece of paradise. AC in bedroom and extras like beach towels and coolers were a huge plus as well.

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!!
