Property and condo were clean and beautiful. Size was perfect for our family of four. The grounds are great for kids to run around on and the small beach is perfect for playing, boogie boarding, snorkeling for little kids, but not great for sandcastles. We were able to walk to so many places for dinner or breakfast. Lava Lava Beach Club is right next door, super easy for any meal. Also; Brick Oven Pizza was great, Street Burger was a great burger place, and Kintaro is good japanese. Side note for Kintaro: if you have kids and want to eat early or if you don’t want to wait you need to be there before they open the doors at 5:30, however they do not start hibachi until 6 but will seat earlier for it (it’s definitely a hot spot for tourists and locals). Coconut Marketplace was in the process of expanding while we were there but there is a market and ABC store and a variety of typical Hawaiian clothing and gift stores. Seems like there will be more restaurants there soon. Foodland and Safeway are just down the road and great shave ice in Kapaa.
If you are traveling with kids check first on what is available in the unit, there was no mention of baby/kid supplies so we rented stuff. But when we were there the unit had a pack n play and a booster seat with tray. And if you have a baby in a pack n play the closet in the master bedroom is big enough for the pack n play which was great for us! Also kids float toys and beach toys, we left a kids boogie board. If you do need to rent kids gear Kauai Baby Gear Rentals was easy and affordable with clean, nice products.
Overall we were so happy with Lae Nani and would definitely stay there again! With kids I would try to find a ground floor unit because it’s nice for kids to run around on the lawn and not worry about stairs but at the same time we were very please with unit 326. Highly recommended!!
