About this property

Kapaa Beach House, Sleeps 10

Niulani Lanikai, a Kapa’a beachfront vacation rental with the flexibility to entertain up to 10 guests in three distinct on-site properties. The custom oceanfront home is built in true Hawaiian style.

Niulani Lanikai offers breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and is located in the popular Kauai town of Kapa’a. You’ll find yourself just steps away from the Kauai Village Shopping Center, pristine beaches, cool and funky boutiques, the incredible restaurants of Kapa’a and many of Kauai’s most popular attractions.

At this central location, you’re just a five-minute drive from Lydgate State Beach Park, Fern Grotto, Kamalani Playground and Wailua Golf Course. For those who enjoy an active experience, rent a kayak and paddle up the Wailua River to see not just the breathtaking scenery, but one of Kauai’s famous hidden waterfalls!

If you’d like to stick closer to home, simply walk outside your door and take a stroll on the walk/bike path, as you listen to the waves crash and marvel at the clear aquamarine water.

The main home of this unique Kapa’a property boasts two bedrooms, an open loft and 2 full baths. In traditional Balinese style, you’ll find lofted post-and-beam style ceilings, creating plenty of air flow throughout the great room. This area is richly decorated in island decor and offers living room, oceanfront dining and a spacious and fully equipped kitchen.

Walk out on the deck to enjoy a meal al fresco at the dining table, prepared with a custom BBQ grill.

The master bedroom is equipped with a king size bed on the oceanfront side with sliding glass doors that leads out to the ocean side lanai and private marble lined bath/shower. The 2nd bedroom has a queen-size bed. A loft bedroom over the living area offers a full-size bed.

The Surf Shack is a charming detached cottage with one bedroom (Queen bed), one bath home with a cozy living area with flat screen TV, refrigerator, sink & dishwasher. It also boasts a front porch and small lanai off the main bedroom.

The Mermaid Lounge is a separate living area, above the garage, it's 1-bedroom (Queen bed), 1-bath property with vaulted ceilings with the comfortably furnished living area, flat screen TV and a countertop refrigerator. Ocean views from the front lanai.

This property is perfect for any size party, from a romantic getaway for two to a family vacation.

Amazing View

Loved this place. It met our needs 100%. The ocean was steps away and we even had a baby seal monk take a nap on our beach just a few feet from us. No problems checking in or out.

Perfect Hawaiian stay

This house is gorgeous. A true Hawaiian home. It was stocked with everything we needed, beach towels, boogie boards, chairs, sand toys, and the best smelling shampoo and conditioner! The kitchen is well stocked with everything you could need. The location is perfect and close to everything. The beach out back is beautiful and possible to snorkel when the water is calm. My kids loved the neighborhood cats and named the 2 that live at the house Oreo and Rocky. We would love to come back!

Aloha 65

A group of nine of us stayed here to celebrate our 65th birthdays! The highlight of our trip was staying in this great location and wonderful house. We spent most our time enjoying the ocean which was just steps away. I was the one who found this house online and everyone was saying what a great find it was and thanking me. The host was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. This place was awesome! Thank you!

Best family vacation ever

Had such an amazing stay with our gaily in Kauai!! Had been planning this for quite a while and loved every minute- best part is being right on the beach and hearing the waves. The house had plenty of room for all of us to have our own space - there were a total of 7 of us and never felt cramped at all- highly recommend Kauai to anyone who hasn’t been! Staying on the beach while on beach vacation is also the way to go- this house was amazing

Fantastic Home

The moment we stepped into the house it was everything we had hoped for and more…the location, the size of the house was perfect. The fans and ceiling fans were needed and appreciated as they were vital to enjoying our stay. Four generations of our family came together, and the house offered many additional items which came in handy to enhancing our visit. We all enjoyed ourselves, and would love to stay at this property again!!

Fantastic Family Beach Vacation Rental

This truly awesome beachfront property has a stunning main house and two very nice, fully autonomous cottages that can accommodate 9-10 people. The setting allows for large gatherings and yet provides privacy for smaller groups. It also comes with all things you need for days at the beach: beach chairs, towels, cooler, snorkeling gear, etc. The property manager, Heidi, couldn’t have been more welcoming and accommodating to our needs. We highly recommend this vacation spot to any family - or families - looking for a beachfront retreat in Kauai. Truly, the only downside is the exorbitant fee charged by VRBO for merely providing a platform on which to access such properties!

What a great vacation!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I had six people in my party and this location was perfect! We had 3 people in the main house, one in the upstairs apartment and 2 more in the detached Ohana. Very clean, everything we needed was available in the kitchen, plenty of towels, beach chairs, snorkel gear and washer and dryer. Sunrise was amazing, incredible views, outstanding location! I highly recommend this location; I will be back for sure.

Gorgeous Getaway

We had a family group of 8 ranging in age from 7 to 82 and the house was perfect for us. Everyone had their own space to retreat to and the living/dining/kitchen space was a wonderful space to congregate. Being right on the ocean, there was always a nice ocean breeze coming through the screen doors and windows. Lying on the master bed you not only were bathed in breezes but had a view of the ocean and gorgeous sunrises all while listening to the white noise of waves lapping the shore. Shopping, dining and beaches are all within walkable distances and Waimea Canyon and Hanalei are only an 45-60 minute drive away. We are a family of cooks and we appreciated the well equipped kitchen. The kids loved all the beach toys/equipment and the adults the beach chairs, umbrella and snorkel gear. The only complaints from the adults in the group was that the mattresses were too hard and uncomfortable but except for that it was a marvelous spot that we would rent again.

Amazing Vacation Home

Perfect home for our vacation. Our family of 9 (grown children and spouses) thoroughly enjoyed this property. Each couple had their own space with a bedroom and bathroom and our 17 year old loved his loft bedroom😊 This house had everything we needed from cooking to beach trips (chairs, towels, umbrella, cooler) it was stocked. We loved watching the sun rise from our ocean view each morning and watching the ocean in the evening was so calming. We actually had a huge seal come and rest on the beach in front of the house one day…so awesome! We loved how central the location was to getting to our Napali tour, kayaking/waterfall hike and visiting Hanalei beach. Lots of cute stores and restaurants close by and the bike/walking path was right out our door. Beds were comfy and the fans kept the house cool (we were worried about no AC, but not a problem at all). Beautiful, comfortable house with a safe neighborhood location.

Beautiful Property

This home was amazing and very well Stocked with everything you could need. Ocean front Sunrise's were amazing. There is no Air Conditioning, but it cooled off nicely in the evening. We did think that there was a full kitchen in the Surf Shack and the Mermaid Lounge, however there is not, but we really didn't mind and were able to share the kitchen in the main house. No Ice Maker so remember to make ice each day or buy ice. Plenty of beach supplies and towels. Washer and Dryer were a huge plus. We enjoyed our visit and will be back if the house does not sale before that.

Convenient location - dated house

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is one street off the main road on the beach. The beach is rocky, but nice. The house is outdated and worn. No AC, most windows don’t work well. However the house has everything that you would need as far as kitchen supplies, beach chairs, towels, linens, etc.

Amazing Girls Trip

So much that was great about this property for 4 couples to enjoy 10 days in beautiful Kauai. 1. We all had private bed and bath. 2. Right on ocean! You could wiggle your toes in sand or sit elevated on a beautiful deck or yard. 3. Location was perfect to see all sides of the island easily. 4. Location 5 minutes from grocery store. We cooked alot of meals. 5. Living/Dining room was big enough for all of us to be together! 6. Room full of snorkel equipment and chairs was awesome. 7. The kitchen was fully appointed with anything you needed to make almost anything. 8. Right on a ocean side walking/biking trail! My only complaint was the beds were ridiculously hard. Besides this, it was really a great property! Book it!

Fantastic family vacation!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We recently had the pleasure of staying at Niulani Lanikai with our family of 5. The house is very spacious and sits directly on the ocean. With 3 college age children there was plenty of room for us to spread out, yet the main living / kitchen area was a lovely gathering space for us at night. The outdoor space is gorgeous, we utilized the deck for our Thanksgiving dinner. We had coffee in the morning for sunrise which was amazing. The house was well appointed with everything we needed including beach gear, which was a nice surprise. For our family the location was perfect as we had tours on both the northern and southern parts of the island throughout the week. It was less than an hour drive from everything we did. We also took advantage of paved trail along the ocean that is directly behind the house. It was beautiful for running / walking. Hedi our property manager was lovely, she was very easy to contact and responded to us immediately. I would highly recommend this property, and hope we get the chance to return!

Loved the house and location

The house and location were great for my family vacation, which consisted of 4 adult couples. Before we got there a couple of trees blew down. One tree took down part of the lanai which made the lanai for the most part unusable. We were planning on eating outside and enjoying the weather and the view, the small table with 4 chairs were the only thing that could be used . We also planned on doing yoga in the morning. If we moved things around and really squished 2 of us could do it. The tree that you can see in the window now almost completely blocks the view of the ocean from the interior table. So, if these things are something that you are looking for, inquire if they have been fixed. There was no compensation for these inconveniences, since it was caused by Mother Nature- although it did detract from the use of the property.
