Kaha Lani Resort #224, 2BR Ocean Front 2nd Floor End Unit

Great place to stay. Perfect location to access all that Kauai has to offer. Very quiet area right on the beach. Beautiful sunrises and a quick walk to Lydgate beach park which our grandkids loved. Condo was perfect for us with 2 adults and 2 kids and the pool was a great way to wind down after a day of exploring . This was our 2nd time staying in this unit and we will be back! Condo is perfect

Manager's Response

The location was great for me and my sister. It took about 45min to just over a 1 hr to get to our furthest destinations on the South or North Shore. It was very quiet and not a lot of foot traffic so it was great a spot to return to at the end of a busy day. Easy foot walk to Lydgate beach as well.

Manager's Response

Apartment was very nice. Clean, nice kitchens and bathrooms. Bedrooms were comfortable. But the very best part was the balcony overlooking the ocean. We spent every moment we were there, Sitting on the balcony Except for when we are sleeping Location is convenient to a lot of activities

Manager's Response

Just right for our family. Deck was amazing. Ocean breeze through the unit was great. Has three beach chairs, umbrellas and cooler for beach adventures. I bought two good boogie boards. You won't get any sleep with the roosters constantly crowing so bring ear plugs. No AC. Windows are always open. Location is in between a park and a walking trail runs right along the beach perfect for morning and evening walks.

Manager's Response

Condo faced the ocean and it was a perfect place to stay. Waking up to the beautiful sunrise was awesome!

Manager's Response

It was a lovely tropical property, all on one level with breezy winds that kept us plenty cool naturally with no A/C. My husband and I hosted my daughter and her two boys ages 12 and 14. Both my daughter and I have very stressful work lives and we are so chill as we leave Kauai after just a few days. The boys enjoyed themselves as we explored Kauai both toward Waimea Canyon and then toward Orinceville and Hanalei. Perfect location to do both! The layed back Kauai vibe was just what we needed, whether checking out the Farmers Markets or just soaking up the sunshine on the beach. Mahalo nui for our perfect vacation!

Manager's Response

The view from this condo is outstanding!! A quick hop, skip and step to the beach. The pictures are accurate to the condo. If I ever return, this will be one of my favorite places to stay. Thank you.

Manager's Response

Check in was easy, Condo was in a fantastic location to see the entire island . My husband felt that the TV should have been mounted on the wall and larger and the ice maker didn’t work. Bed was a bit uncomfortable and so was the living room furniture but we spent most of our time exploring the island so it was not a big deal. Condo was a bit warm due to no AC but we made due with the fans. Security Guard was a very nice man and gave us recommendations on where to eat close by. Pool was nice as well. One last thing, the floor should probably be replaced with some LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank) because when it rains, it comes in the windows and the flooring is damaged due to this. Overall, I would stay again and I would recommend due to the view and location.

Manager's Response

Overall, our stay was quite pleasant, despite the fact that on the second day the refrigerator started breaking down and we lost much of our perishable food items. The management company was prompt in their response. The kitchen could use some additional gadgets, such as a garlic press, additional regular sized wine glasses, beer bottle opener. The lanai door needs to be fixed, as well as one of the louver drives. But the apt location was unbeatable.

not 5 stars on cleanliness due to dirty dishes

We had a blast, loved our location

Manager's Response

The place was clean, well equipped and in a good location. 5 minutes to the airport. Nice beach with protected rocks for swimming a short walking distance.

Manager's Response

We stayed here for a week. Great location as it’s easy access to the North, South and the airport. It’s also close to Kapaa with groceries and restaurants. The trade winds provided nice cooling and the condo is well-equipped. Would have loved the dishes to be cleaner though. We cleaned them prior to using them.

Manager's Response

Property description is accurate. A bit dated, but otherwise, great location and size for 2 adults kids, one teenager. I was pleased with the size of the lanai. A large sports field, park and golf course border the complex, so it's quiet. Quick response when I had a few questions. My son left his wallet. They retrieved it and mailed it back to him, including all his cash! It rained ALOT the week we were there, no fault of property, of course.

Manager's Response

The view from this unit was amazing and being right on the sandy beach for our kids to play was amazing! The unit itself is in need of some maintenance. Some deep cleaning and painting would greatly improve its overall feel and our dishwasher didn’t seem to work and the amount of dead bugs inside the unit itself proves that it hasn’t been working. I had to hand wash our dishes.

Manager's Response

Garden Island responded to all concerns immediately. Outstanding service. However, they property was left in poor condition. It was clean but, plumbing needed attention,coffee maker did not warm coffee,TV was difficult to operate. The decor was spartan. We paid extra to have a twin beds converted to a king, bad result. The view from balcony is world class. Daily utility supplies very good. Garden Isl Prop is great to work with,super staff, but whoever works the details needs training.

We spent many morning hours gazing at the sunrises and ocean over morning coffees from the Lanai. The lanai cools down to comfortably by around noon to enjoy a lunch there as well, very pleasant. Very short walk to the Lydgate Park snorkel reef protected area; it's small and busy by noon, but so close you can get a daily swim or dose of fish snorkeling. It's about equal distance/time to go up to Anini (35m) or down to Poipu (40m) for more adventurous snorkeling. Definitely close enough to take the drive to Waimea and Kokee State parks (1.5hrs) to take in the views and hike, wouldn't want to be any further north though as you'd hit the traffic at Kapaa and Lihue getting south. Condo is a perfect corner unit, very private with almost no view of other guests. Fairly well equipped overall, 5c coffee pot on the small side for 2 of us but can make do, comfortable beds, bit warm on the SW side for sleeping but if you open the patio doors east windows, weather permitting, and bedroom windows get a good breeze through entire unit and the many fans help a lot. The 2 BBQs at the pool were great, the one BBQ closest to this unit was not, can't get hot enough, not all burners are working or working well enough to cook properly. None of the negatives are serious or would prevent us from booking this unit again. Management Corp very quick to respond to issues and questions.

Manager's Response

We loved the location of this condo. The views of the ocean were stunning. We enjoying watching the sunrise in the morning and the moonrise over the water at night. We liked the walking trails right out from the property. We thought the location was central to most activities that we wanted to do. The condo was spacious and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to make some easy meals. The only issue we had was that the beds were a bit saggy and uncomfortable. Overall it was a great stay! The management had great communication as well. Thank you!

Manager's Response

The views are incredible from the deck, we took morning walks on the beach daily. Short walk to park and to Hilton Garden hotel to have drink at the tiki bar watching the waves roll in. The unit was very nice, NO A/C (which we knew that) was very hot muggy left the sliding glass door open to let the breeze in, not good when it rains though. Both bedrooms have extra fans which were highly needed. Beach towels, a cooler, beach chairs and umbrella are available to use whichbwas nice. The kitchen is fully equipped to make your own meals. The pool on the grounds is available to use. There are grills available to use as well. Over all it was a really nice unit, met our needs and again the views are incredible. We saw several rainbows from the deck. Check in and check out supper easy, door code provided the day you arrive. The only reason for 4 stars is due to no a/c, flooring is nice but updated to vinyl waterproof flooring would be ideal for this unit.

Our condo was a great location took sunrise pictures every morning

Manager's Response

This place is in a great location. Perfect beach just steps away from the unit. Off the main road and walking distance to great snorkeling area. Clean and large unit and had everything we needed. Just a couple minutes drive to kapa’a with shopping and restaurants. Will stay again!

Manager's Response

Kaha Lani #224 is a lovely second floor corner unit. It was very clean and ready for our 10 day stay. The beach towels at the foot of each bed was a nice touch. The Lani was my favorite spot. With a stunning view, with a cross breeze, a table and 4 chairs. Plus two very nice lounge chairs. The pool and pool area was a wonderful place to enjoy afternoon swims and BBQ’s.
The condo could use some paint touch ups where pictures have been removed. The front room cushions on the furniture needs to be deep cleaned or replaced. Also linen and towels are dated but were still usable. None of the things I listed as needs improvement would not stop me from renting this condo again. I have rented from Garden Island Properties at least four times and found them to be responsive to any of my needs and are very friendly.

Manager's Response

Sunrise was awesome from the lanai everyday. The grounds are kept well and the beach was perfect to chill on. The beach is too rough to swim at but there is a protect swim area in the park 1 km away. The condo has beach chairs and a cooler. The kitchen had everything we needed.

Manager's Response

Took a chance based on photos, description and reviews. Had not stayed at this resort before. Overall, the main selling point was location and view. Excellent communication from Garden Island Properties before, during and after our stay. Condo is a little dated and could use some updating. Ocean effect on sliding glass doors, windows, screens and frames is severe. Could have used a higher level of cleaning if possible to enhance the view. Might all need replacing and regular maintenance. Washing and Drying clothes, towels, etc. is on your own behind Kaha Lani office. Credit cards only and $3.00 for each use of washer or dryer. Supply your own soap from store. Laundry facility was clean and maintained. Had to re-clean the living room glass counters and mirror upon arrival. Beds comfortable. Living room couches, not so much. Did not advise Garden Island Properties. I know they would have handled it. If updated and windows and glass etc. addressed, would recommend location.

Check in process is very self sufficient and management gives you all the info needed for a smooth transaction. Great place for families, Lydgate Park and beach is walking distance and kids will love it! Lihue close by for groceries but the Safeway is pricy, I suggest going to Costco or Walmart in the opposite direction for groceries. I esp loved that they allow a few basics to be left behind for the next visitor… I would definitely return:)

Manager's Response

The condo was perfectly located, beautiful view of the beach, nice size lanai. Kitchen is nicely equipped and the property was clean and well maintained. Plenty of parking. Pool is also nice, no spa. Roosters are loud 20 of the 24 hours. The only negative thing is we were told it would sleep 6 adults , that is had a premium aero bed. The first night we arrived after 5pm; no aero bed, the office onsite no help so 2 adults with no bed the first night. Second problem they couldn’t find it the next day either, brought us another blow up mattress, not really that great of a sleeping solution for 2 adults. This is a great place for 4 people and maybe a small child on the blow up. But don’t be talked into 6 adults.

Beautiful unit directly on ocean, fantastic breeze through unit 24hrs

Manager's Response

Lovely condo with terrific view. Short walk to swimmable beach. Lots of chicks & friendly feral cats who seem to be well taken care of. Loved the pool. The kitchen could use some upgrade & beds a little too soft for our liking but we really loved it.

Manager's Response

Very enjoyable week in the perfect spot: oceanfront, walking distance to park and beach. Clean, airy apartment. No AC, but ocean breezes were all we needed. Great place.

Manager's Response

The condo was perfect for my family of 4. The two single beds were great for my son and daughter to share a room. The condo was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The view from the lanai was amazing!! Hello sunrise! Great location - allowed us to travel to north or south parts of island easily. Restaurants and groceries were nearby too. Highly recommend this rental!! Mahalo.

Manager's Response

Beautiful location! Unit is a little run down and could use some TLC.

Manager's Response

This property has a great location, is clean, well stocked, close to Wailua and Lihue, and walking distance to a kid friendly beach.

Manager's Response

The Condo was clean and had all the amenities. Could use a update on some of the kitchen supplies but didnt stop us from being able to cook what we wanted.
Beautiful sunrise in the mornings after the Roosters wake you up.
The staff kept you up to date with the happenings on the island. One thing, most of the farmers markets are not in operation right now. Found a great one in Lihue though on Saturdays, I think called grove farm market across from the college. The coconut plaza farmers market is a rip off.

Excellent unit. Clean and with a fantastic view. The kitchen is very well supplied. No AC but the breeze from the ocean and the fans in the room are enough to keep you comfortable. Best part was the location- sandy beaches easily in walking distance with a sectioned off part of the beach nearby for snorkeling. 10-15 minutes away from food in Lihue and Kapaa. And a great base for traveling all around the island.

Manager's Response

Great location for families with young children. Great ocean views and walking distance to Lydgate park. Grandkids loved the playground, Lydgate pools, and on-site pool. Management company very responsive to all our needs. Condo could use some maintenance screen cleaning, screen replacements and dishwasher) but overall didn’t interfere with our enjoyment! Would return to this condo!

This rental has a straight shot view of the ocean. It has a large lanai and good furniture. The unit is larger than most. The furniture is in great shape and comfortable. It is an end unit so is more quiet. Of all the units I saw this visit this was the best, especially for the price. I will try to get this one in the future. The ocean is closer than the pictures show. The location is also great.

Great place to stay. Right on the oceanfront with a concrete pathway for morning walks through the adjacent state park. Saw plenty of birds, chickens and even one monk seal near the water's edge. We would rent this place again.

Manager's Response

This was my second year in this unit. I returned because it is a fabulous location and the property is well kept and has almost all amenities one might need. I still wish there were a safe for valuables when I was away from the is a relaxing and convenient holiday experience. Unfortunately, another raise in the rates for next year puts it well over my budget so I will not be returning next year. Good memories though!

We stayed at the condo for a week. We loved it. Great location. Cute place. It was exactly as shown in the pictures. We would definitely stay there again.

Modern and immaculate condo right on the water. Very peaceful experience, close to amenities. We would go back.

Manager's Response

Our stay at the Kaha Lani Vacation Rental was excellent. We were together with family and an infant and the staff were willing to help out with an additional pack and play for the little one. Location and service were excellent

Manager's Response

This condo is in a great on the beach, which is good for swimming, surfing, etc. There is a fantastic snorkel area about 5 mins walk, with a park, play area, and grass.
The condo is decent sized, clean, with nice bathrooms and a covered lanai. Enough room for 4 people to spread out. Enough linens for showers, beach, and kitchen-dishes (but no napkins).
PROS: location, beach chairs, ice-chest, pool noodles (also had snorkel gear and beach toys for younger kids which we didn't use)
CONS: Some wear and tear in the kitchen: rust on appliances; really dirty vents under microwave/over stovetop which dropped little balls of dust on the cooktop constantly; dishwasher door will not stay open and slams on your hands; coffeemaker has a burned base; mold on fridge/freezer doors. Missing shelves in bathroom - empty supports screwed into wall. Lack of hooks or designated place to hang beach towels (since the resort does not allow you to hang anything on the railings).
All in all the condo is clean, bright, airy, and the morning sun is amazing as it streams into the rooms. Bedrooms were comfortable and each room has a ceiling fan as well as floor-fans to keep the air flowing and the rooms cool. I think with a few minor corrections the condo will be perfect for future guests.

Manager's Response

The unit is spacious for 3 adults. The ocean view is spectacular, the balcony is roomy and we sometimes have dinner on the balcony under the moonlight, very romantic. The place is clean, kitchen is equipped with basic cookware and utensils.
Cons: walls are quite thin, I could sometimes hear my next door neighbor talking
Roosters woke me up every morning as early as 5am
The unit itself is great and I definitely recommend it.

Manager's Response

i enjoyed the property, one issue was the information I received did not say that I needed to check in with the office on site so I did not, nor did I receive until after I left early in the morning that they wanted my time of departure, I would have if I had known. We only needed to talk to the office twice and both times they were not friendly. That would be my only complaint about our stay. I would stay here again.

Manager's Response

We love the east side of Kauai- the views, the relaxed vibe, the walks by the ocean. This condo is a nice place. Convenient to Kapaa (walking distance), secluded and quiet, no road noise at all, unlike many ot the resorts to the north that are right on the main highway. Very comfortable, clean condo.
Could use a bit more kitchen gadgets for those that like to cook at home. Would love an in-unit washer-dryer, like some of the condos in this complex have, for longer stays in particular, but overall- great place. Will come again.

Manager's Response

We stayed at Kaha Lani Resort for 7 nights in March 2018.

All booking, pre-organization and access to the apartment was very smooth and well organized via the associated app.

Apartment was a great size and match description/pictures on site. Apartment was well equipped (kitchen, beach equipment, etc.)and surrounding grounds were very well maintained.

Apartment complex is well situated on east coast equidistant from Princeville and surrounding areas and the southern beaches. Also great access to walking paths along the coast.

Manager's Response

We arrived at night and could hear the waves. When we woke the next day it was an incredible view! The master bathroom was nice and having beach items to use would have been great if the weather cooperated. When we ran out of dish detergent, the host was quick to replenish. Some decoration updates would go far but it was a pleasant stay. The dishwasher kind of attacked us whenever we'd open it, slamming to the ground but I imagine they'll fix that. I wish the bathroom doors weren't louvred, for sounds and smells to emanate. :) The location was central and the beach was very nice just a quick walk away.

Very good. Only disappointment was quantity & quality of towels for our length of stay.

Manager's Response

Great place to stay. I would definitely go back. Conveniently located.

Manager's Response

Our company had two technicians on island to do some specialized work. The last time they stayed on Kauai for work their travel agent booked them at an old hotel next to a popular restaurant. When I learned this, I decided to call Kanani at Garden Island Properties to learn about condos that might be available. Kanani was excellent! Everything worked out great and the technicians sent me an email thanking me for arranging the accommodations in such a nice place.

Manager's Response

We had an incredible time. The condo was absolutely great. It's in a very good location, and the unit itself it exactly what we were looking for. The beach is in walking distance, you can sit on the lanai and just watch the waves--it IS Hawaii!

Manager's Response

We had a nice stay. The condos were in great shape. the traffic in the mornings on the highway is ridiculous. They need a traffic light on one of the entrances to Lygate Park

I have stayed many places on all the major places and this place was hands down my favorite! Great location, close to Kapa'a. The amenities were great, property well kept, clean pool, laundry facility, bbq's. They unit itself was fully stocked with just about everything you need to stay in or go out. So many creature comforts! Beach gear, cooler, you name it they provided it. Beautifully updated, hard woods and granite. It was lovely to stay in and I would make a point of staying there again in the future!

This property is lovely the minute you walk in the door. Very tastefully Hawaiian decor. Sitting on the lanai is a special treat. The soft wind flowing past and the tropical beach with the sound of the waves lulling your spirit.
Beds and pillows are soft and comfy.
Pass through lush tropical grounds on your walk to the refreshing poolside.
Wonderfully equipped kitchen.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kaha Lani #224. The location, although you could not walk right into town, was ideal for it's privacy, quietness, and proximity to Lydgate park. The unit was super clean and very well maintained, and the layout was perfect. Although it did not have AC, that wasn't a problem on this trip. The weather was nice and the units layout allowed for it to be opened up and have a nice, calm, cool breeze blow through the entire unit. The grounds were really nice. The people working (maintenace, groundskeepers, security, etc) were great. Pool area was nice. The managment company was awesome. I was very happy with our stay here and would gladly stay again.

Manager's Response

We were very pleased with our stay at Kaha Lani. The proximity to the ocean is much closer than the picture depicts. We woke up every morning to a beautiful sunrise and enjoyed coffee on the lanai. The unit was very spacious, clean, and offered a lot of beach comforts. We ate most meals in the condo. The kitchen was missing a few tools but we improvised and made everything work. The grounds were very safe and clean. The proximity of the resort was very convenient to all areas of the island. The owner was very nice to work with and created more enthusiasm for our upcoming visit.
