Featured Kauai Island Vacation Rentals

We were referred to Lae Nani by a friend. Instead of going through Air BNB or VRBO, we booked through Outrigger, which as it turns out, only manages 2 units! First of all, I was verbally told the unit had air conditioning - it did not. Due to health issues, I would never have booked a unit without it. I am not a neat freak by any means, but this unit was dirty and dated. The carpet was filthy, there was paint peeling from the kitchen cabinets and we had ghost ants! There was dirt and rust around the windows. Desperately needs updating. The property itself is BEAUTIFUL! Fabulous landscaping. Lovely pool. Great view of the ocean and great access. It was our first time in Kauai and we loved it and the property, just not the unit we rented. Will definitely go back, but not to this unit.

The property was NOT what was described and the pictures did NOT depict the Unit that we stayed in. Our unit was very dated, paint peeling off cabinets, no bedspread, rusty shower curtain, moldy chairs to name a few. The biggest issue was that the unit did not have WIFI, even though it was stated several times in the listing that it was available. This made it very difficult for me to work. When I attempted to resolve the issue with Travelocity, they pointed the finger at Outrigger, who pointed back at Travelocity. I am very disappointed with Travelocitys response (or lack of) in trying to resolve this issue. Outrigger knows this Unit does NOT have wifi, or cable television as Travelocity markets.

We really enjoyed our time at Lea Nani. It's on the east side of the island so it's close to shopping and restaurants. The ocean is close so you can hear the waves at night. Our unit did not have air conditioning but some do. It really wasn't a problem because of the trade winds at night.

Lae Nani overall was great. We loved being on the beach. The bid downside was the dirty dishes in the cupboard. Our unit needs a new dishwasher. Most of the glasses had hard chunks of food on them. Other than that we really loved our stay at lae Nani. Beautiful property.

When we checked in, we were told we had to check in at another facility, Waipouli Beach Resort, because the owner of the unit we reserved decided to occupy it. The alternate unit was exceptional and would recommend it instead of Lea Nani, which I understand does not have air conditioning. While the Waipouli Resort was an upgrade, it would have been nice to get a notice ahead of time of this change. If owners rent out their units, they should not be allowed to just change their mind to make the unit unavailable at the last minute.

Beautiful grounds and quiet area. We stayed in condo 425. It had an amazing view of the ocean. Air conditioning in all rooms and everything we needed. It is an older resort but it is well maintained and gated. Would definitely stay again in #425.

Arriving at night, the complex is very dark. Arrival Instructions need to be more detailed, like 'after entering the gate make an immediate turn to the right & go up the incline even though the arrow points out, not in.’ Someone needs to be available after hours to answer calls. If we hadn’t gotten out & walked around to every building we would not have been able to get in to our unit. I’m sure the owner pays for a management company & an after hours number needs to be answered. We arrived around 8PM & didn’t get a response until the next day. So nice to have a lending library by the coin laundry as well as books & games inside the unit Bed is comfortable but pillows not so much. Kitchen faucet must be turned to cold to stop the flow of water Master bath needs a light that allows you to see - it is very dark There is no stopper in tub so you cannot use the tub for a bath. Having large fans in every room certainly helps cool the unit but doesn’t it show that you really need a/c? The fans, detract from the beauty of the unit & are not shown in the rental photos. Neither is the window a/c located in the living room. Lanai lovely furniture though the pillow on the footstool is in need of repair. Gorgeous view. Really could use a broom to be able to sweep the front door mat when taking shoes off. Appreciated the sweeper although you can only use it pulling it toward you so it is a bit of a hassle. Lots of hangers in the closets Plenty of dresser drawer space Hair in tub Black bedroom lamp desperately needs cleaning There were NO beach items in the condo even though they are shown in the photos & stated in the description. No baking dishes in the kitchen After regular maintenance completed scoping the cast iron drain lines in the bathroom, they completed their work & left. Shortly after, a high pitched sound started coming from the bathroom. It would start/stop every few seconds. Called the rental company, no answer & when they did finally respond at 1:30 the next afternoon, they said to call the owner. We finally had a friend come over - in order to get it stopped, he had to turn off the water, wait a while then restart it. Again, an after hours contact is needed. Ad says TV is 72”. No way is it even close to that - much smaller. Guest book said that wine & beer were left by the previous guest who had just checked out before our arrival. There was nothing in the frig.

Condo 413 was absolutely the worst place I (we) have ever stayed in. Here's a partial list of our issues with this unit. 1. The view and grounds were beautiful. 2. Electric door entry system failed to work intermittently. Very worrisome. There is NO MANAGER or other onsite personnel to assist with anything!!! 3. Closet was full of owner's junk. Two vacuum cleaners, Mops & buckets, brooms, junk toys, blow up bed, folded futon. This was the only place to hang up clothes. The DOOR FELL OFF (and Continued to do that ) when sliding it open. 4. The safe that was provided was defective. Locking was with a key and it STOPPED working causing a panic to retrieve our valuables. With persistence and large amounts of oil I finally got it opened. WHEW! 5. Shutters in the bed room were broken and would not stay shut. The bedroom windows were at ground level and anyone passing by could look in. Headlights from parked cars shinned directly into the room. Most unpleasant. 6. No air conditioning made the bedroom very hot - not being able to open the shutters. 7. This place is old and very funky. The phrase is "Long in the tooth" 8. It did have a new shower (as result of a leak from the upper unit) but there was not enough hot water two showers. 9. Window in front was broken. 10. This property is located in a very run down area. There was a homeless camp a few blocks north where the sidewalk ended. 11. Neighboring property (north) was very trashy. 12. Utility area of this resort was full of junk and debris. 13. Paying $387 a night is outrageous for property of this quality. 14. WE will never stay here again and will never recommend this property to anyone we know that is going to Kauai. 15. Kauai is a small and extremely crowed island. They on average receive 140,000 tourist a month. The do not have the roads for this density of traffic. Short trips 8 or 10 miles can take 30 to 40 minutes. It's hard not to feel very sorry for the residents of this slice of paradise.

We had two units on the property and they were both excellent. 311, right on the water was absolutely beautiful. We felt as if the resort was built directly on a golf course. The grounds are beautiful and we can’t wait to come back for a second time. We will definitely look to stay here again!
