30+ 5 Star "Awesome" "Beautiful" "Bliss" Reviews and Counting! Please plan ahead as our calendar fills up quickly. THE AMBIENCE If thoughts of azure oceans, romantic getaways and sunrise mornings are just some of the peaceful images that make you happy, then this is the oasis of your dreams. Turn your dreams into lifelong memories at our Lush Tropical Oasis - #523 Lae Nani Resort on the beautiful Royal Coconut Coast in eastern Kauai. Near Wailua Bay in Kapa'a, this is an enviously breathtaking 1 bedroom, ocean-front, beachfront condo located in the premier and preferred building #5 at Lae Nani, and the property is situated for perfect access to all parts of the island. Simply a spot of heaven you just may never want to leave. Imagine lounging on your private lanai where the breaking waves, along with warm tropical trade wind breezes, glorious sunrises, amazing moonrises, and sparkling night skies will have you lost to all of the cares of the world. The beautiful sandy beach is just a few steps away, and the 180 degree view from the deep blue sea to the bay, along the dramatic coastline, and capped with the stunning Hokonui mountain peak is spectacular! Sweeping views of the deep blue pacific ocean from the kitchen, dining area and living room, with comfortable lounge chairs and table and chairs on the lanai, will keep you from ever wanting to leave! Depending on the time of year of your stay, from the lanai you may get to admire breaching whales off the coast, observe sea turtles swimming or lounging on the beach, watch kite surfers flying through the air, or you may even get to cheer on outrigger canoe race or two! Plus, in addition to the unobstructed view, guests appreciate the enhanced security and privacy that a 2nd floor unit provides. (Please note - the unit is up one flight of stairs - no elevator). And, when it's time to get out and play, you can walk to nearby shops, restaurants and beaches, rent kayaks and bikes, or hop in your car, private tour, or Kauai bus and head any direction for a day of fun. THE DETAILS This remodeled retreat is so refreshing – you will not want to leave. The bedroom features a California king size bed, a new cool-sleep memory foam mattress, new luxurious linens and pillows, and air-conditioning for those warmer tropical nights (please note that a/c is located in the bedroom only). We also provide robes for you both - perfect for those crisper mornings on the lanai. The newly renovated bathrooms are stocked with all of the necessities needed for a worry-free stay, including towels and toilet paper, soap and shampoo, plus for those longer stays you'll have a washer and dryer in the complex with complimentary detergent at your fingertips. Should you be in the mood to cook, you will love the well-equipped kitchen that includes all of the basics for cooking and BBQ, like your basic spices and condiments, a dishwasher, range, full size refrigerator and a microwave for those wonderful morning, afternoon, or evening meals on the lanai. That is, of course, if you can pass up the Passion Bakery Cafe (just down the street), whose pastries are a Kauai favorite, or the Lava Lava ... 300 steps from the front door! Finally, flanking the lush grounds and pool area are gas BBQ grills, perfect for you to enjoy so many of the fresh fish options that Kauai has to offer. The condo is wonderfully stocked with the many items needed to enhance a tropical vacation, including beach towels, picnic coolers, beach chairs, a beach umbrella, 2 flat-screen TVs, games and movies. The kitchen has a great selection of spices, and other sundries, and there is also a new Keurig Supreme coffee maker and a sampling of Kauai Coffee K-Cups to kick-start your day.   The pool is the perfect spot to relax after a day of adventure, and you will appreciate how beautiful and well maintained the tropical plants and property are kept by the on-site care takers. THE LOCATION Located squarely along the Royal Coconut Coast in Kapa’a, this vacation retreat is just 10 minutes from the Lihue airport. In addition to nearby shopping at the Coconut Marketplace (a 3 minute walk), and a wonderful variety of restaurants (our favorite being the Lava Lava on the Beach right next door), many of Kauai's top activities are also nearby, to include the Wailua Golf Course (known as the best play for pay in Hawaii), Lydgate Park (a wonderful tree-lined picnicking beach with jetty-enclosed safe swimming and snorkeling havens), Wailua River Kayaking, numerous hiking trails, the Smith Family Garden Luau (an island favorite), and the "Ke Ala Hele Makale" - the 7.5 mile bike path that runs along the coast. The Kauai Bike/Walking Path passes along the front of the property, and is the launching point to access nearby activities. Wailua Bay beach, a great walking beach where you can find little treasures, and it's only a 15 minute walk and Lydgate Park is a short drive (or 20 minute walk) to the south, and is known for its sea ponds (full of baby fish), and the perfect spot for swimming and snorkeling. .
