About this property
NEW Top-Floor Oceanfront Studio in Kapaa's Niihau Building
Summary:
Straight-ahead Pacific views are the reward for choosing this top-floor studio in Islander on the Beach's oceanfront Niihau Building. Two beds sleep up to three guests, and the 372-square-foot space has air conditioning, a kitchenette, and a private lanai for breakfast while the waves are doing their thing. The beach, resort pool, and hot tub are close enough that an unplanned swim can be the whole plan. Coconut Marketplace is an easy walk for coffee, gifts, and an uncomplicated meal. Later, head toward Wailua for river scenery or stay local for a coastal-path walk and a Kapaa dinner. It is a natural choice for a couple, a mother and child, or three friends who want a true oceanfront setting without giving up the useful parts of town.
The Space:
Set on the top floor of the oceanfront Niihau Building, this 372-square-foot studio keeps the Pacific front and center. Two beds sleep up to three, while the private lanai gives you a front-row place for coffee and the sound of waves. The kitchenette includes a sink, microwave, mini fridge, and coffee maker, and air conditioning helps the space stay comfortable.
Guest Access:
Guests at Islander on the Beach have access to the shared outdoor pool, hot tub, BBQ grill area, and beach access. The resort grounds provide easy outdoor space to relax between beach outings.
The Neighborhood:
The Niihau Building's oceanfront position puts beach time right into the daily rhythm, while Coconut Marketplace is an easy walk for breakfast, local gifts, groceries, and casual food. Follow the Ke Ala Hele Makalae coastal path when you want a longer oceanfront walk or a bike ride. A short drive brings you to Wailua River for kayaking or to Kapaa town for bakeries and locally owned restaurants. This part of the Coconut Coast works especially well when the group wants a mix of beach, food, and a little exploring without a long drive.
Getting Around:
Kapaa sits along Kauai's Royal Coconut Coast, about 15 to 20 minutes from Lihue Airport. A rental car is recommended for exploring the island, though the main strip along Kuhio Highway is walkable, with beaches, shops, restaurants, and the popular coastal path all within easy reach on foot. Grocery stores and casual dining are close by. Parking is generally available at condos and along the street, making this an easy, low stress base.
Other Things to Note:
This property is managed by Heavenly Vacations.
The pool and spa will temporarily be closed from 10/26-11/04 for major repairs.

Wonderful beachfront unit
We loved being right on the beach; lovely welcome by the host with hawaiian music, air con on and local goodies. Very comfortable bed and a great location on the island. Parking was really easy too. Highly recommend staying here.
Fantastic waterfront location within walking distance to many restaurants. Enjoyed the sound of the waves and the fantastic breezes. Great little condo with comfortable furnishings and an amazing lanai.
You can't beat this location! Open the lanai and there is the beach. The unit has everything you need for great time.

Perfect location
Loved this studio condo right on the beach! It’s small but clean and nice. Right by the bike trail and lots of shopping etc you can get to.
This was an amazing location! Right on the beach and equidistant from both sides of the island. Comfortable and nicely appointed condo. Fall asleep to the sound of the waves.

What a wonderful experience
Everything was perfect! The room, the grounds, the sunrises. Would recommend to anyone!
Great location to overlooking the ocean. Property is close to shopping and restaurants. The beach on the property is very small but almost no one goes there. Would definitely stay again!

For our age, retired, we just wanted quiet, relaxing time. This was just what we needed. This was our fourth year in a row in Kauai. We'll be back next year.

On the beach relaxation!
This was a great resort with access to shops and restaurants in walking distance. Pool, jacuzzi, and a poolside bar, what more could we ask for?

Beautiful Beach Front Location
Condo, was right on the beach. You could hear and see the waves right on the Lanai. Condo, could use a little upgrade, but was very comfortable. The grounds at the Islander are beautiful, and the nightly Tiki Bar at the pool was wonderful to have.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Unit 7 at Kapaa Sands. The place is well stocked and the extra items left of the deck (beach chairs, snorkel gear, beach towels, etc.) were greatly appreciated.
