This Poipu Beach oceanfront home is known as Lani Kai and is a favorite among Kaua‘i’s vacation rental clientele. The 2-bedroom, 2-bath coastal cottage emphasizes extraordinary views and delivers an ambiance like no other. Drive along Poipu’s famous oceanfront Lawai Road stretch and this oceanfront yellow cottage, with its historic architecture, stands out for its genuine look. Lani Kai has it all. Step inside and Lani Kai’s distinctive appeal unfolds, displaying a simply beautiful setting, appropriate landscaping and a beach house eclectic design. This private and exceedingly well done home features a large great room that opens up the space to the oceanfront lanai and extensive coastline frontage. While views from this home direct over its oceanfront venue, directly across the street is the world class Kukui‘ula community with its extraordinary golf course, spa and clubhouse. Wood floors throughout are typical of Kaua‘i’s architecture, and here at Lani Kai, the floors afford the backdrop for a colorful beach house display. High end finishes, inclusive of granite counters, pendant lighting, and a vintage style claw tub appropriately balance the low key nature with fine and useful touches. The seaside master suite and bath extends the theme where a window seat and outdoor lava rock shower await. The home is an active permitted vacation rental. In escrow but continuing to market.
