About this property

DIRECT OCEAN FRONT W/BIG VIEWS... Kapaa Sands

Centrally located on east coast of Kauai, commonly known as the Royal Coconut Coast. If you have found this property you have found a jewel. No other coastline provides you with central access to both north and south shores; no other coastline provides you the famous Kauai coastal bike path to deserted white sand beaches. Kapa'a Sands is one of the most sought after destination points due to its island access and uniqueness. No Parking fees, no wifi fees, no resort fees, and no amenity fees. This is a small boutique property that is preserved in the 'old Hawaiian charm' and is the closest property to waters edge. (Tax Map Key: 430020020000)

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.

Oceanfront central location

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.

A Hidden Jewel

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!!

Amazing View

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.

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!
The most incredible view!

Stayed for our Honeymoon

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.

Fabulous View

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.

Great view,location but needs AC

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.

Much needed respite!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Dennis & Christine Vogel

Host profile image
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.
