Loved the position and the amenities

The studio property is well located, has wonderful views of the ocean and is clean. My only issue was with the lack of AC. Despite the location and keeping doors windows open, it was quite warm at night - not much of a cross breeze. The fans provided helped minimally.

My husband and I absolutely loved our stay! We come to Kauai every year and this has been our favorite place so far, we definitely will be staying here again in the future. Perfect location, great size for the two of us, phenomenal views - we loved hearing the waves every morning and night! Highly recommend!

Came for R&R and got it! Gorgeous view onto the ocean; beautiful sunset and sunrise. Sound of waves sent me into a deep sleep each eve. Perfect for a solo traveler.

You are always nervous to try a new place out - put it was exactly as advertised. Clean, easy access to everything… and right on the beach. So peaceful and the property (group of condos) were quiet and clean.

The suite is small but has everything that you need. A shopping area is only a couple of minutes walk away. It is an easy drive to all of the wonderful beaches on the island. We loved the beach right infront of the suite. It has a pooled area that is great for children or those who just want a quick dip in the water but just down the beach is also a great swimming area for those who want to play in the waves.

I was solo for this trip and the accommodations were perfect for that. The view was spectacular. It was close to food and things to do. It was a quiet little place and just what I needed.

The condo is oceanfront and feels very private -- for the price, it is a great value. The condo is small but comfortable. Bathroom is tiny, but shower is comfortable. Everything you need to go to the beach including towels, chairs, umbrella, and the kitchen is well-appointed. And Kapa'a is in the center, so you can anywhere on the island in a reasonable amount of time. We really enjoyed our stay there.

Very clean and comfortable. Really enjoyed the ocean "white noise" and friendly chickens outside our window. Stairs not the best for octogenarians, but we were aware of that. Unit entry code worked exactly as it should, although pool code didn't. We didn't know how to use dish washer so washed dishes by hand. Younger people probably have no problem with such modernization.

This property is located in a fairly central part of the island with an easy drive to beaches, hikes attractions and dining. This fit our needs to have a place to sleep and fix a few meals to save a little money. The kitchen has plenty of pots, pans, dishes, and utensils. There are no spices of any type so you will need to supply these yourself. The listing says there is a 12 cup coffee pot, but there is only a 5 cup pot. We drink a lot of coffee so we had to make multiple pots, but not a big deal. There is a laundry facility on site. It is $3 for the washer and $3 for the dryer. There are also beach chairs and an umbrella for your use. Parking is a little tight. Pool area is very nice with gas grills. There is a nice market close by and a Safeway grocery store a short drive, maybe a mile or 2 away. We would consider staying here again if we were to visit island in the future.

The room was just as described. You could get lost on the veranda watching the ocean. Room was clean and presented as photos supplied. Communication was good with vacasa. We loved the location in the middle of the island. Highly recommended.
10.0
This condo is pretty much the middle of the highway system on the island, so it was the same drive time to either end of the road.
There were plenty of places to eat within a short walk of the condo.
There was a tide pool right below the site and a group of turtles swimming nearby as well.
Condo was clean and met our needs perfectly and had adequate cooking utensils to meet our cooking requirements during our stay.

You are right on the waters edge. Sunrises in the morning from your bed.

I love this condo! I want to come back. Even when raining it’s a lovely place to be. The balcony is so wonderful and the proximity to the ocean and sound of waves can’t be beat! Very well-equipped kitchen. Beach towels and chair too. The tv was difficult to figure out and instructions would be helpful as would a listing of channels. It’s quiet-except for the wind and ocean! I really enjoyed my short time here.

Location is great. Guests can easily walk to shops and beach. I appreciated that the unit is in a smallish complex and felt private. Unit quite comfortable, clean and appropriately furnished. There were no beach towels when we arrived, but they were delivered promptly. If I return to Kauai I would likely try to stay here again.

Love Kapaa Sands! Great location to go to either end of the island, great restaurants nearby, Passion Bakery is a must fir sticky buns or malasadas. Unit is light and airy, nicely decorated, bed is comfy, kitchen is lovely. Bath is tiny but totally functional. Perfect for a couple. We love it, it’s our 3rd time to this unit.

I’ve stayed in this condo numerous times. It’s the only place I’ll stay. Oceanfront so I can listen to the waves all night and it’s incredibly peaceful. Not a ton of tourists running around. Perfect little beach out front that you can snorkel when currents are calm...turtles hang out here. Condo provides beach chairs, cooler, snorkel gear, etc. It’ll makes for the best Kauai vacation.

The Studio Ocenfront 9 is more then pictures and text can say - it is simply perfect and beautiful! I enjoyed my time so much - especially to sit on the balcony and look out direct to the pacific and hear the waves - it was breathtaking - I hope to comeback soon! Mahalo

Had a wonderful stay at Kapaa sands, the property is beautiful and the unit had amazing views. Nothing beats sleeping to and waking up to the sounds of waves crashing. Everything about the unit was great, comfy, clean and conveniently located. Will definitely book again!

We have been coming to Kapaa Sands for the last 20 years, so it’s a second home to us. In the Unit 9, it was our 6th stay, and it’s always a wonderful vacation.We enjoy the ocean views, the pool, the tropical grounds and the quiet. After the highway people upgrade the traffic, it will be a paradise on earth.

Central location made it easy to go on excursions in any direction! Great little bakery, half a block away, had home made malasadas on certain days of the week! The #9 Studio was very clean, lots of linens and basic necessities! The VIEW was unbelievable, right on the ocean! The little beach was perfect; sandy enough to sit and relax and then cool off in tide pool! We saw fishermen, surfers and even whales! No AC but ocean breeze was great; we even had to shut windows one morning because it was too cool!

We loved our stay at Kapaa Sands 9 and would highly recommend the unit for a couple or solo traveler visiting Kauai. The apartment overlooks a beautiful, quiet beach that is great for swimming, lounging and surfing. Snorkeling is possible on the left side of the beach (in front of a neighboring resort) but there isn`t much to see. The beach is child friendly with rocks providing a break and creating a shallow wading pool directly in front of the unit. We also loved having Passion Bakery (try the malasadas!) and Scotty`s surf shop within a block of the place. The unit itself is a small studio but has everything you could need. There is no air conditioning but the fans and ocean breeze were enough to keep us cool. There are beach chairs, two towels, fins, umbrella, cooler, and clothes line provided and coin operated laundry on site. We loved our stay and will be back!

This unit is upstairs and the lani is ocean front with views to die for. My stay was enjoyable and I have stayed in this unit before but with Vacasa new as the property manager… I did have a few problems .. the code to get in the room that was given to me was incorrect and it took about a half hour to sort out but it was sorted out…. Then I had a downstairs person who was loud and disruptive at all hours of the night … it was not vacasa’s fault … rather it was the rude lady plus she was smoking … smoking is not permitted on the property … I emailed the general manager with my complaint the first day and she emailed back saying she would speak to them… either she did not speak to them or they didn’t listen so the 2nd day I called with my complaint and was assured they would send someone in person to take care of it … it seemed to work because that afternoon she was no longer smoking on her lani and the loudness pretty much stopped … it is something to think about when renting someone is not there 24/7 to handle issues like in a hotel and I was traveling alone so I was not comfortable saying something to her and I had to wait a little bit for results … this was a bad apple and I am sure I was just unlucky that is why I still gave a 5 star review because the room is great the location and view amazing and I had the pool all to myself as well … the new management is also easy to work with they just took over the Friday before I arrived so they were on it and up and ready to handle business for my Monday arival

The place is beautiful. King bed is comfy & so pretty! The view is spectacular! I love the sweet doves that visit.
A couple of things: no brown towels as listed to clean shoes and the outside stairs are gross.
Overall a gorgeous setting with very friendly staff and lovely accommodations. Liked the thick bath towels ☀️💦

Great location and views. Comfortable room for short stays. Convenient for getting around the island (by car) and decent grocery store within 3 minutes walk. Facilities in the room are basic, so be sure to bring any little luxuries from home. But overall, really enjoyed our stay and would book again in the future.

The unit was good and clean and the views from the terrace are excellent. The condo is also really nice. The only thing that i can say is that the apartment and furniture are a bit old. But in general i recommend it and would stay here if i come back.

Our unit was as small as a hotel room, but it was clean, beautifully decorated, quiet, and had everything we needed! The view is of the pool, lush grounds, and the glorious ocean beyond. Our host Val was easily accessible and helpful! Absolutely would stay there again for short stays! 😊
