About this apartment rental
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 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

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!

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!

It was a nice space with beauty on all sides. We had everything we needed during our stay, great communication leading up to our stay, and the sounds of the ocean lulled us to sleep. Plus, it's close to the airport, restaurants and shopping.

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!!

You cannot go wrong with this VRBO, from the moment you walk in you know you are in the perfect vacation place. The condo is a studio but felt open and much bigger than most studios. Wide open views of the most spectacular beach, crashing waves, turtles, surfers and beach walkers. The beach is right outside the unit, you are on the oceanfront. A quick short set of steps and you are at the beach at the water, which is clean and beautiful.
The condo is beautifully decorated, has every kitchen amenity you could need, all in good working order. Ceiling and floor fan along with breeze off the water made us very comfortable, we would not have needed AC even if there. Added bonus of ice trays which we made everyday and used with the provided cooler for our adventures out and happy hours in the evenings. Every beach item you could want is there. Local condo owners and other vacationers were delightful and very welcoming. This was a wonderful central location for going anywhere on the island. We are use to heavy traffic from home and found getting around not a problem and quite easy. Dining options are close and some even within walking distance if desired. We loved the local food trucks especially Musubi and really liked the food at Pono Market.
The unit is accessed by a keypad which the owners send you a code before arrival, we found this perfect to not have to worry about a key.
This place was refreshing and relaxing, the sound of the waves never goes away. We loved our stay here.

Heaven on Earth
Beautiful, peaceful and soul-healing. That's the only way to describe this beautiful property. The unit was impeccably equipped with everything needed for beach use as well as any home comfort needed. We’ve stayed in this studio previously and will always come back. Thank you Dennis and Chris! 🌴🐢🥰🌊

Lovely property
The condo was very clean, decorations were lovely, location and view spectacular. The only things that were less than perfect was the size of the unit's bathroom, and the lack of ability to shade the side windows. The neighbors kept a very bright bathroom light on in their unit all night and it illuminated the whole room.

Great Little Studio!
We loved our stay at this property! It was just me and my husband so it was the perfect size for the 2 of us. View from the lanai is second to none and sleeping with the waves crashing all night was glorious! 10/10 recommend!

Amazing Condo
This is the cutest little condo with the very best view. We loved staying here!! There was a small beach with a tide pool right in front of the unit that was perfect for sitting and drinking coffee in the morning or laying out in the afternoon. We had a small issue with the front door (my fault) and Dennis quickly responded to my email and fixed the problem. Highly recommend this property!

Million dollar view of ocean and lovely condo
We did not miss a sunrise over this million dollar view of the cove, sacred Hawaiian point, and surf. Within walking to Lava Lava restaurant (yummy) taking the beach access paved walk, and vacationers paradise shopping and other food needs. The condo is complete with kitchen and cooking needs at hand. AND the bed was amazing comfortable. The private owners are responsive to questions and are very welcoming. Mahalo.

Sweet Retreat with a View
Our stay here was perfect. The condo is just as described, right on the water with views galore. We enjoyed watching the locals come down to fish and the surfers on their hydrofoil surfboards. There was something to see every day. We would travel around the island, and were always glad to get back to our lanai. The sound of the waves lulls you to sleep and the sunrise wakes you up in the morning-perfection. The condo was very well equipped with quality kitchen tools, paper towels, etc. We appreciated the nice quality beach towels, too. We had everything we needed for our 10 day stay. There was a lot of traffic and roadwork that did detract from our Kauai stay, but the condo was a heavenly oasis to come home to. Don’t forget to walk to the Passion Bakery Cafe in the morning for delicious treats! Great stay!

Perfect Spot
This really is a wonderful spot to stay in Kauai. We were there for two weeks and after a lot zipping around the island, Kapaa is a nice place to head back to. The accommodations are exactly what is described. A small TV issue, but we managed to use our service from home and mirror on to the TV. Great farmer's market on Tues/Thurs in walking distance. Swimming in the ocean is wonderful, but NOT at high tide - the swimming area down the beach can have a serious rip-tide and undertow. I found out the hard way and I'm an experienced swimmer. But it is perfect at low tide and there is a sweet wading pool there as well. All in all I would definitely return, armed with the knowledge of caution when swimming or snorkeling, slick muddy paths are for real - and an all around humbling respect for both Kauai's nature and its people.

A Little Slice Of Heaven
Just wanted to say mahalo to Christine and Dennis for sharing their Kauai home with us. We enjoyed our stay immensely. The home is as advertised and having coffee watching the sunrise and listening to the surf is serenity in a cup
