About this property
*NEW* Upper-Floor Kauaʻi Studio With Oceanfront Lanai
Summary:
Start the day on your oceanfront lanai, watching sunrise and looking for sea life moving through the blue Pacific. This upper-floor Kapaʻa Sands studio sleeps two and gives you a full kitchen with dishwasher, a poolside barbecue area, shared laundry facility, and the low-key charm of a small 24-unit beachfront property. Every retreat here is a corner unit with louvered windows on three sides, inviting the trade winds through when you are back from the beach. The shared pool is an easy place to cool off, and the nearby town has restaurants and small shops when you feel like heading out. The property also preserves an original temple stone from its earlier Shinto Shrine site. A special little stay for a couple who values ocean views, local history, and an unhurried Kauaʻi pace.
The Space:
This upper-floor corner studio sleeps two and frames the ocean from its private lanai. Louvered windows on three sides welcome the trade winds, while the full kitchen includes a dishwasher for easy meals. A laundry facility, shared outdoor pool, and poolside barbecue area add useful comfort. It is a simple, view-forward space for spending as much time outside as possible.
Guest Access:
Guests at Kapa'a Sands have access to the outdoor pool and poolside BBQ area, with the beach immediately outside the oceanfront grounds. This small 24-unit complex also has on-site laundry facilities.
The Neighborhood:
Along Kauaʻi’s east shore, Kapaʻa Sands offers a small oceanfront setting with 24 units, vintage character, and a beach that keeps the Pacific in constant view. The property occupies the site of a former Shinto Shrine and retains an original temple stone. Kapaa town’s restaurants, shops, and coffee stops are nearby, while Ke Ala Hele Makalae follows the coast for a scenic walk or bike ride. It is a good choice for couples looking for quiet oceanfront time with real local texture.
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 vacation rental is not equipped with air-conditioning. This property is managed by Heavenly Vacations.

We had 2nd story right on the beach. Perfect for us. No a/c but breeze kept it comfortable at night, a little warm in the day. Restaurants within easy walk distance. Would probably stay here again.

A View Beyond Beautiful
We could not leave the view!!! The bed was comfortable. You could hear the waves throughout the night, and see the morning sun and waves from bed. Heaven…
Relaxing oceanfront getaway- clean, comfortable and well-equipped!
We had an incredible stay at this oceanfront studio in Kauai! The unit was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. From the fully stocked kitchen to the cozy bed and thoughtful amenities, every detail was well thought out. The location was unbeatable—waking up to the sound of the waves and enjoying breathtaking ocean views right from the lanai was a dream. We would certainly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, well-maintained retreat in paradise!

Beautiful view with the sound of ocean waves
We loved the view and hearing the sound of the ocean waves all day and all night. Could see and hear the ocean from the bed and kitchen. There are some food options and a coffee shop very close within walking distance. We cooked a little and had everything we needed. The sandy section of the beach right in front is a little small but still nice. A larger sandy beach is a very short walk. Would definitely stay here again!

Great views, great location
Cannot get closer to the water. The unit did not disappoint. We knew it was small but perfect for the two of us. Plenty of storage room and never felt cramped. Perfect location for driving around the island in any direction. Loved the sound of the ocean every night. Would definitely stay there again if we get back to Kauai.

Everything is wonderful. It’s just the bed chairs, etc. in this room are worn out and need to be ...
A++++ views and location. Just off beach, secluded, easy access, parking great, close to restaurants and a small mall. The condo was very clean, and exactly as described. The only thing that would have made it perfect is that the area rug needed cleaning pretty bad but we could live with it. I think everything else was just so nice, that the dirty carpet just didn't fit in. It's probably hard to keep it clean. Enough about the carpet, all was just grand!! You'll love it.

Problem not with the rental property, but with the smoking tenants in teh unit below it.
Loved teh space and the rental , but your stated advertisement of a smoke-free property is a sham , since you don't enforce it for people who own their properties which are contiguous and polluted our rental. Otherwise it was a great time, and the smokers left after three days. Ruined our enjoyment of teh lanai when they were there though.
Response from VrboOwner on 6 July 2023
Richard, thank you for the review of your stay at Kapa`a Sands 13. We are so glad you loved the condo. We apologize hat you were bothered by other's decision to smoke. We have no control over what owner's of their own properties choose to do in their homes. We are sorry you feel it ruined your time on the lanai. Our guests comfort and enjoyment are very important to us. We hope you will choose to book with Vacasa in the future. Thank you!
