About this apartment rental
Summary:
Let the waves be the soundtrack to breakfast, then step from the lanai toward the beach and reef just beyond the gardens. This ground-floor Kapaʻa Sands studio sleeps two and gives you an oceanfront Kauaʻi stay with a full kitchen, dishwasher, washer and dryer, cable TV, and beach towels for easy days outside. Watch honu near the reef or fish in the tide pools, then cool off in the shared pool before dinner. The property sits on a quiet acre, with a poolside barbecue area and dining within walking distance when you do not feel like cooking. It is a small, boutique setting rather than a big resort, and a lovely fit for a couple who wants the east shore’s surf, sea life, and sunrise close enough to enjoy without planning around it.
The Space:
This ground-floor studio sleeps two with a full kitchen and dishwasher, washer and dryer, cable TV, and an ocean-view lanai. The beach and reef are just outside the boutique property’s tropical grounds, making it easy to move between a tide-pool look, a pool swim, and a quiet meal at home. Beach towels are included for the water-focused days you will likely have here.
Guest Access:
Guests at Kapa'a Sands enjoy access to the communal pool, BBQ grill area, and beach front access right on Kauai's east shore. The property offers beach essentials, board games, and a garden or backyard space for relaxing outdoors. Laundromat access nearby adds convenience for longer stays.
The Neighborhood:
Kapaʻa Sands is tucked along a quiet oceanfront acre on Kauaʻi’s east shore, where surf, reef life, and tide pools are part of the immediate landscape. The small property has tropical gardens and a vintage island feel, not the bustle of a large resort. Kapaa dining and shops are within walking distance, and the Ke Ala Hele Makalae coastal path is nearby for a longer beachside walk. It is an easy choice for couples who want Kauaʻi’s oceanfront beauty without giving up a connection to town.
Getting Around:
Kapaa sits along Kauai's Royal Coconut Coast, about 15 to 20 minutes from Lihue Airport. A rental car is recommended for exploring the island, though the main strip along Kuhio Highway is walkable, with beaches, shops, restaurants, and the popular coastal path all within easy reach on foot. Grocery stores and casual dining are close by. Parking is generally available at condos and along the street, making this an easy, low stress base.
Other Things to Note:
This condo does not have air-conditioning. This property is managed by Heavenly Vacations.
Interaction with Guests:
Our local Heavenly Vacations Kauai team is just a call or message away throughout your stay. We are always happy to share our favorite places to enjoy on the Garden Isle, and we are here to help right away should any issue arise. We respect your privacy and are here whenever you need us.

Condo was great , right by the beach with great view. Enjoyed the sunrise and sound of the sound of waves by room.
Could ask for a better place to stay . Took many walk down at the beach perfect relaxation and getting in touch with nature. Great place to stay if you want to stay next to the water.

Can’t beat being right on the water. So worth the experience.

Nice little unit, right on the ocean. We sat on our patio in the mornings to watch the sunrise. We are just steps from a small beach, perfect for watching the surfers.
6 / 10Average·Jun 2023
Nice complex with well kept grounds and old Hawaii charm. The full kitchen is a definite plus. The bed was comfortable. The location on what I've always fondly called "Little Beach" is perfect and spectacular.
Unfortunately, management is lacking. There is no local person to call if assistance is needed. I agree with others that Vacasa is NOT a desirable vacation rental management and owners must avoid them to maintain healthy reviews and happy guests.
They instruct guests here at Kapaa Sands to check in at the office and get a parking pass, but there is no office or any onsite management. Requests for late check in or out are pretty much ignored. And the cleaning needs to be improved.
We had an incident with a cane spider and had to take the whole bed apart and turn it upside down to get him out. It is filthy under there. There are dead bugs in the kitchen drawers but thats kind of normal here. I wash everything before we use it, but must report that I found that the dishes and cookware, for the most part, were not washed properly. The shower tiles are moldy but thankfully I found some bleach to spray in there.
Its a long review, just to let future guests know what to expect. I do like this place and really enjoyed my stay, but if I was the owner, I would be sure these things were clear to guests and/or taken care of. Folks spend a lot to come here, and we deserve cleanliness and kind attention to detail.
