Steps To The Beach! Ocean Front Condo! 5 Star Views! Centrally Located! Aloha-We bet that because you’re reading this you’ve looked at the descriptions of many vacation rentals on Kauai.  Likely all of them gave glowing descriptions of how wonderful they are – and no doubt many indeed are. Here is why our condo should be at the top of your list! Location!  Lae Nani, appropriately named, meaning “beautiful face” in Hawaiian, is a gathering of approximately 80 condominium units on the east side of the island, known as the Coconut Coast. Lae Nani exudes an old Hawaii charm. It is situated on the coast of Wailua Bay, one of the most sacred places on the island and the ancestral home to the Hawaiian Royals. In fact, the stone remains of a sacred temple, known as a "Heiau”, sit on the edge of this property and it is still visited and used by local Hawaiians today. In addition to the Heiau, the property features five acres of showcase tropical foliage, including palm and banyan trees and a wide variety of flowering plants. Lae Nani is located in the quaint town of Kapa’a, midway between the verdant north shore and many of the attractions found to the south. It is only minutes from the airport in Lihue. In addition, it is conveniently close to shopping and restaurants, many of which are within easy walking distance, yet it is peacefully secluded behind its gated entrance. Our apartment is located on the second floor in building 5 (#526) and is steps from the beach and the waves of the Pacific Ocean. Swimming and snorkeling are of course favorite activities, as is sunbathing on the sandy beach. There’s even a lava-rock-enclosed “Keiki” pool that is shallow enough for little kids and timid oldsters to enjoy.  Views from the lanai, over Wailua Bay, are panoramic and unforgettable.  Unlike many other possibilities you may have read about, our apartment does not abut the parking lot but rather has a quiet winding sidewalk through lush flowering trees and bushes.  As an end unit, our apartment has three sides with windows, making it bright and open. There are two bedrooms, one with a king-size bed and the other with two extra-long twin-size beds. *Note: The twin beds do not convert to a king. The kitchen is well stocked, and it faces the ocean allowing the cook to be part of the fun. The two fully-equipped ensuite bathrooms have walk-in showers. The lanai has chaise lounges and a bar-height table that allows guests an unobstructed view of the bay, where you’ll see expert surfers, kiteboarders, and the occasional dolphin or whale. The condo is equipped with internet, cable, boogie boards, beach towels, and beach chairs. To keep the ‘feel’ of old Hawaii, we have opted not to install air conditioning. During the midsummer months, when nights can be warm, as well as during the infrequent times that trade wind breezes aren’t present, multiple fans, including ceiling and free-standing, are available to help keep you cool. The decision not to install AC allows windows to be left open day and night so you can enjoy the sound of the waves, the sweet smell of plumeria, and the soft cooing of the endangered shearwater bird. The property amenities include a large saltwater swimming pool that is heated during the winter months, plenty of poolside lounge chairs, private parking, gas barbeques, and a tennis court for your use. Lastly, there’s an on-site manager and a friendly staff with an aloha spirit. Everything is well-maintained, clean, and accessible. A YouTube video of the condo can be viewed by clicking the link located under the "Video" tab on this site. Lastly, Dan, Kara, Jim, Cathy, Meg, Bill, and Ruth Brown own our Lae Nani home. We have owned and loved our condo for over 10 years. We recently decided to self-manage the property on VRBO when our long-time on-island manager retired. We will continue to manage the property until we find a small personal management company that fits the needs of our family. If you are unable to find dates that fit your holiday agenda, please, look at Dan and Kara’s property in building 3 - It too is a (2) Bedroom (2) Bath - Unit #322 VRBO Listing #2270005. We hope that you consider coming to visit Kauai. And whether you stay with us or not, we think it will be one of the most enjoyable vacations of your lifetime.  The maximum occupancy is 4 persons No children under the age of 13 We provide: -Stocked kitchen with everything you need to prepare food at your island home - Comfortable living room with HD TV - (Front Bedroom) Ensuite w/king bed - (Back bedroom) Ensuite w/ 2 extra-long twin beds (The beds cannot be retrofitted to make a king) - Oceanview Lanai - High-Speed Internet and Cable - Free parking in a gated Lot - Tennis Court, Swimming Pool, Beautiful Beach, and Lush Tropical Grounds - Boogie Boards, Beach Chairs, Beach Towels - Hair DryerAbout pets:No pets allowed.About checkOut:Check out before 10:00 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 13-17.About checkIn:Check in after 4:00 PM.About smoking:Smoking is not permitted.About minBookingAge:Minimum age to rent: 30.About events:No events allowed.
