Kaha Lani unit 319 is a top floor unit at the end of one of the resort's buildings. In fact it is the unit that sticks out the furthest towards the Ocean. With that, you receive unobstructed views of the ocean and large lawn area that lies between the units and the pathway along the ocean. The beach directly in front of the resort is not very deep but it gets deeper if you walk north or south.
When we were there in late June 2021, Lydgate Park just to the south was still closed and being renovated after it apparently served as a campground for the homeless during Covid-19. When you turn onto the road just before you get to the entrance to Kaha Lani, you will see that there is still a number of long-term 'campers.' This never presented any issues for us but the resort management strongly suggested locking your windows and doors upon leaving. If you want to use an in-room safe, you will be charged by resort management upon checking in.
The problem with locking your windows is that Kaha Lani does not have A/C. The unit was very stuffy if it was closed up. Leaving the windows and slider open would help eliminate this issue and since you are all the way up on the third floor... . However, no A/C is no A/C. You just need to know whether you are okay with that.
We did not visit the pool or even venture over to see it. We spent our time touring the island and participating in various island activities. We found that the location of Kaha Lani on the eastern shore was exactly what we though it would be - equal distance to the furthest northern and southern/western points of the island, which we found appealing since we covered it all.
The sunrise from the balcony (which is nice sized) was incredible as was simply watching the chickens and roosters and other birds on the lawn area. The kitchen is small but for two people was more than adequate. Four people would be a squeeze in this place. It appeared there was a pull out from the couch. No elevator to the third floor (not expecting one, just FYI).
Be aware that while the unit is individually owned, you are never dealing with the owner of the unit. The owner places their unit in the resort's rental program and everything is run through them. They have a central office you check into and out of on property, with somewhat limited hours. If you arrive after hours, they apparently leave you check-in instructions (we arrived during office hours). They will want a credit card for 'incidentals.' When I inquired what that might be, they said it would be for a lost key. I don't like being asked for a credit card when I have already paid for the property... don't they have that credit already? In summary, you have the downside of dealing with a property management company instead of the owner of the unit, as is traditional with most Airbnb rentals I have stayed at.
Overall, location/unit location was awesome, very clean, with other things as explained that were not so great for us, personally. Hopefully this information will help you in deciding whether Kaha Lani is for you.
