“A relaxing, scenic spot on Wailua cost with beautiful beach”

The oceanfront 2 BR unit we had was well equipped for cooking and relaxing, and its view directly of the waves across a lush grassy lawn was truly magnificent. We enjoyed this quiet, laid-back condo complex, and although it does not have a/c, the ceiling fans do help to make it comfortable, especially at this time of year (Nov). The long sandy beach as well as paved path alongside the beach for miles in both directions make strolling a pleasure. The only negative we can mention is the "hidden" high cleaning fee which we thought was quite unreasonable for our short 2 day stay.

“Nature at its best. Can be annoying.”

Location. Location. Location. #309 Here in Oct. Full balcony ocean front. Just across pool. Well appointed. Needed nothing. Had beach chairs, boogey board for beach. Bring ear plugs and expect to be awaken during night from stupid (other than sunrise) roosters crowing. Though we appre iated being awake at sunrise to watch magnificence appear. Magical. Kauai is nature. Nature is 24hrs. Get away from human time and enjoy. Take a nap. No AC. Good tradewinds.

“Could be really nice with better management and attention to maintenance in and cleaning in some units.”

We stayed in two of Kaha Lani's one bedroom units over a two week period, units 221 and 127. Our original unit, 221, was very nice, second floor with beautiful ocean view. We didn't feel the need for A/C as the ocean breezes through the louvered windows and fans were plenty adequate. The unit was a… lisää

We stayed in two of Kaha Lani's one bedroom units over a two week period, units 221 and 127. Our original unit, 221, was very nice, second floor with beautiful ocean view. We didn't feel the need for A/C as the ocean breezes through the louvered windows and fans were plenty adequate. The unit was a bit on the small side, but comfortable, well equipped and fine for us. The issue we had was with repair and repainting work going on on the building exterior. It was noisy with equipment right outside the balcony, and intrusive with contractors showing up on the balcony multiple times unanounced to work on the railings. We were not informed about any of this ahead of time. The unit 221 property manager we rented through, Garden Island Properties, said that they were not informed. Eventually they gave us a discount in the form of a 10% refund and extra cleaning fee. Castle Kaha Lani the overall property manager was not helpful. A few days before we were due to leave they informed us that they were going to do replacement work on our balcony. We decided we'd had enough and to relocate. We rented #127 for the last few days (through Castle Properties). We had to take what we could get at this point. Unit #127 is an ocean front ground floor unit with ocean view. On the outside and in photographs it looked nice. It was quieter and being an end floor unit was quite private. Inside the unit was generally clean on the surface, but broken items, rust and deterioration detracted from the experience. The dishwasher door balance spring was broken, and if not careful the heavy door would drop down which could have cause a foot or leg injury. There was flaking paint and detiorating moulding in places and rust around electrical outlets and switches. The bathroom medicine cabinet was old, broken and without a door, and there was built up dust in areas that the cleaner apparently never got to.
