Welcome to "Aloha Kai" -- the newest-renovated condo in Lae Nani. Here, modern design meets jaw-dropping, unobstructed ocean views.

Outside: the crashing waves of Wailua Bay are so close you can smell them (30-second walk to the beach). If you've never been to award-winning Lae Nani before, come discover why so many guests return year after year. Unit sleeps 4 comfortably.
-WHY IT'S SPECIAL-
Look no further for beachfront bliss than Lae Nani Unit #323, Aloha Kai. Our labor-of-love full unit remodel was completed in June 2024. Steps from a secluded beach, sunrise views, heated saltwater pool & tennis courts. Shops and restaurants walkable; Wailua River kayak and Sleeping Giant trailhead just a 5 min drive.
Wailua/Kapa'a, where our unit is located, is centrally located, ideal for exploring both the North and South shores.
-THE PROPERTY-
The well-maintained Lae Nani complex is known for its exquisite landscaping, ‘Great Lawn’ along the beachfront, and quiet beach (with a calmer, protected ‘Keiki Cove’ for kids) a literal stone’s throw from the unit. The recently-redone heated saltwater pool and BBQ area are guest favorites. Breathtaking sunrise views and open-to-the-public morning yoga classes can be found just a 2-minute walk away, outside the Lava Lava Beach Club (property next door).
The unit has all you need for home cooking -- from full cookware, to an Instapot and Air Fryer. But walkable dining options are plentiful:
*LAVA LAVA BEACH CLUB for breakfast, lunch, dinner and cocktails with your feet in the sand.
*COCONUT MARKETPLACE for groceries, shops, live music, and the famous ‘Chicken in a Barrel BBQ.’ Sushi, Italian, Shaved Ice, bike rental and more are all available in the same complex.
Our location in Wailua, on the east side of Kauai, offers ultimate convenience. Being equidistant from the North (Hanalei) and South (Poipu) shores makes our unit the perfect home base for those keen to explore the island. The trailhead to the Sleeping Giant hike is just a 5-minute drive down the road, as is the entrance to our coastal bike/pedestrian path Ka Ala Hele Makalae, which meanders along the coastline for beautiful ocean side exercise. And don’t forget kayaking Wailua River, snorkeling at Lyngate Park (5 minutes south), or stocking up on provisions at Safeway or Long’s (all within 1 mile of the unit).
The tennis court was just resurfaced in 2020 and has pickleball lines as well.
