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)

Right on the beach, sleep to the sound of the waves.
The location is great as you can easily explore both ends of the Kauai from here. You are staying metres away from a beach that is great for adults and kids, It has a rock pool for swimming and is a popular fishing spot. The apartment is nicely appointed: the bed is comfy, kitchen is great. The bathroom is tiny but it works. Only problems were we couldn't get the TV to work (and TV is quite small) and we would've appreciated some washing powder for the laundry,
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.
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.
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.
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.
This studio apartment was just lovely. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves every night. The studio apartment had everything we needed. Christine and Dennis addressed every question we had. We also highly recommend Lemongrass seafood grill. Wonderful dishes.
Loved location, but stairs were extremely difficult for us as we are in our 80’s.
Could really use a luggage rack.
View & location to ocean was the best.
Thank you, John & Kathy
Oh goodness! We absolutely LOVED our stay! Was more than we expected. Perfect location!! Doors and windows open the entire time! Listening to the waves was magical! Kitchen fully stocked! Complex is clean, relaxing and people were so friendly! Enjoyed the pool and BBQ grill too! Would love to come back again. SOON
If you love the sound of the ocean you’ll love this property. We so enjoyed the crashing waves and the quick walk down to our little beach area. The home had everything we needed and was in walking distance to shopping and restaurants. The bathroom is tight but we didn’t plan to spend much time in there so it wasn’t a problem. I might suggest blinds on the side windows to reduce light from the other townhouse shining through at night. Having said that you won’t be disappointed at this property.
Small simple place looking right down of the beach and ocean. We enjoyed fixing breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the kitchen and eating on the balcony overlooking the ocean. The sound of the waves as night were peaceful. This is not a luxury resort, but it was quiet, uncrowded, and a beautiful setting. I would come here again.
The location in the middle of the east coast, right on the beach - best, most relaxing vacation ever! Clean, tasteful decor, comfortable bed, super easy checkin, walking distance to Coconut Marketplace with great shops, and happy hour at lava lava beach club. Can't wait to go back! Just bring ear plugs and sound screen unless u dont mind roosters crowing before dawn...
Perfect location for staying home and watching the waves or heading to a local attraction for an adventure. The kitchen is well stocked and we enjoyed many meals from the balcony as we watched the waves. We saw whales in the distance on day 1. The owners provide all the necessities for a day down by the water. We didn’t use the pool because the ocean was perfect for a refreshing dip and a little snorkel action. We loved every minute of our stay. This condo is a gem.
Everything was as described, but you can hardly do this location justice. We loved every aspect of our stay. The location is superb, right on the beach, the second story made the ocean views and privacy perfect. It was a short walk to shops and a market, short drive to everything on the island we wanted to see. There are famers markets all over the island, everyday there is a new one, so we shopped those and with the full kitchen an the grocery story a mile away we were able to cook excellent meals when we did not feel like going out. Lots of restaurants nearby to chose from when we did want to go out. There was all the beach stuff you could want right on the balcony, beach towels, umbrella, snorkel gear and boogy boards. Coolers in the cupboard for the beach. All very useful. Look forward to our next visit!
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.

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.
