Beautiful place to stay! Great views and so relaxing. We loved hearing the crashing waves throughout the night. Fun shops and good restaurants near by. We have such an amazing time, and would definitely stay again!
The view from our balcony was amazing. We loved the sound of the ocean at night. Having beach chairs and an umbrella for us to use was a nice plus that we used several times. Excellent shopping and restaurants were within easy walking distance. We also loved having the pool and laundry facilities onsite.
Great place that is centrally located on island. You can swim at the beach in front of the property or drive a short distance to other beaches. Lots to do north and south of this property. Stores and restaurants are very close.
Soaking in the sound of crashing waves and proximity to any corner of the island made this rental a must get. Amenities provided all we needed. Worked great for us adventurers looking for convenience and crashing waves.
The view was as advertised! Great balcony for reading, watching waves and surfers. Nice central location. Walked for dinner and breakfast multiple times. Would definitely return here.
Christine and Dennis’ place is very special. There are not many places with such a beautiful ON A BEACH location. The old Hawaiian style of buildings is quiet and serene (excepting the morning rooster wake-up that you get everywhere on the island!). Beautifully appointed and perfect for two! Thanks for letting us share your paradise!!
My husband and I stayed for 10 days on our honeymoon. We enjoyed our stay and spent most time at the condo on the balcony enjoying the AMAZING view. The beach is even only steps away from the room so we visited it often as well.
This is a wonderfully located place to stay on the island as you can visit both the North Shore or South Shore of the island without having too far to drive. There are several restaurants within walking distance of the room and wonderful activities within a short drive.
The view from the balcony will still remain my favorite part of our whole vacation. I could sit and watch the beach and ocean all day. We even saw sea turtles!
This studio condo was amazing! There were little surprises everywhere around our home away from home. Kitchen was completely stocked, the linens and bed were comfortable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better view! Location was perfect and central to everywhere we wanted to go and everything we wanted to see! We came in October and were happy to have the windows open and listen to the ocean crash throughout the night. Sunrises were special. The hosts were super friendly and very responsive! We would love to come here again.
Excellent location, so much to walk to , passions bakery a must and sleeping giant grill is a must, and a shout out to Lance at Queens jewelry next door, check him out. Antiques at pagoda and even got a tattoo at Ironbridge, can walk to it all This rental had the best beach you will not feel the urge to rush off to another beach.
What a lovely place right on the beach to watch the beautiful sunrises and hear the waves crashing all night long. Has everything you need for a wonderful stay! Host was very helpful with quick response time. Would definitely come back and stay!!
My husband and I planned this trip for our 15 year anniversary, our first time to Hawaii. And it exceeded all of our expectations, so much so that we are trying to figure out how we can retire here! Dennis and Christine were amazing hosts and made everything seamless from start to finish, they even checked in and made sure we were safe during the tsunami evacuation. The place is so cozy and WOW you really cannot beat the view from the balcony. We started and ended all of our days enjoying that view! Thank you for such a wonderful and memorable anniversary trip for us! We cannot wait to come back!
Such a beautiful place! I was worried when I read there was no AC, but definitely did not need it. The breeze from the ocean was perfect. The kitchen is incredibly well equipped - everything you could possibly need to cook for yourself. Beach is just steps away. Lots of great food options nearby and easy to get to the north or south of the island. We loved our stay and Dennis and Christine were super responsive to all of our questions. Really great place to stay!
The location of Kapaa Sands is fantastic! The beach is like having your own private beach. It’s a small resort so not many people, it’s wonderful. The view was stunning, seriously “ocean front”. I don’t think I’ve ever slept so good, listing to the waves just a few yards away. I highly recommend this magical place, we will definitely be back.
We had a wonderful 10 days at the property. It’s in a great location and easy to get to other places around Kauai. Best things were the quiet of the property, friendliness of the people and mainly the fabulous view and ability to go swimming right there. We would definitely stay here again.
We loved this place although some days were pretty warm even with the ceiling fan and windows open. The view is great and the place is set up very nice with a balcony and chairs to view the waves and sunrise. Our unit was a 1 minute walk from the parking lot in a nice small condo community. The pool is close ( very nice ) with a bbq grill and covered area to enjoy. The grounds are well kept. The location is just south of Kapa’a on a quiet side street. We loved The Passion Bakery. No messages or welcome from owners the entire stay which we thought was unusual. No suggestions on where to eat or things to do. We knew there would be no AC but it was uncomfortable in middle of day. Might not be an issue for some people but we definitely noticed it. A small window unit would be nice. We would come back.
This is the second time we have stayed at this property, never a disappointment! Love the views, ocean and beaches for as far as you can see. You hear the waves all night long. The condo is sweet and cozy.
We loved the location and the unit! Exactly as listed and such a peaceful, quiet setting. Views were amazing - we got to see lots of surfers and other water sports and we also saw quite a few whales from the lanai. The ocean waves sounded awesome. Would stay here again.
Location, location, location. Listening to the waves all night long was exactly what was needed! We liked that the complex was small, not overwhelming like big resorts.We found it very difficult to go into the ocean but cooled off in the pool. Out front is a rocky front and you can't safely go there. To go to the left, the sand was SO deep that it was too difficult to navigate. Did this disappoint us? Not really. Everything else was so wonderful and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there and hope to return.Chris and Dennis were very accommodating and took care to communicate when a need arose.
Loved that we were just steps from the ocean. There was no A/C but the wind blowing through the windows and door was sufficient. Could hear the surf all night long. Very relaxing. Was able to see the sunrise from our balcony.
The ocean really is the star of the show! With a lanai to sit, to eat, to drink morning coffee with the ocean right there.
Nearby beaches, comfortable bed and well-equipped kitchen.

About the host
Hosted by Dennis & Christine Vogel
My wife Christine and I came to Kauai and immediately fell in love with this place. We are so excited to have been given the opportunity to own and share it as a vacation rental with you!
Why they chose this property
After touring the island and then walking and biking along the coconut coast, It became very apparent to us that this location offered a unique opportunity to experience 'old Hawaii' the way it used to be. Other places are quite nice but none have the 'end of the road' feeling of peaceful seclusion and being lost in paradise.
What makes this property unique
Built on the historical site of an old Shinto temple where mountains, gardens, rivers and ocean meet have made this the best location on island.
