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)

We had a wonderful 10 days at the property. It’s in a great location and easy to get to other places around Kauai. Best things were the quiet of the property, friendliness of the people and mainly the fabulous view and ability to go swimming right there. We would definitely stay here again.
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.
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.
We loved this place although some days were pretty warm even with the ceiling fan and windows open. The view is great and the place is set up very nice with a balcony and chairs to view the waves and sunrise. Our unit was a 1 minute walk from the parking lot in a nice small condo community. The pool is close ( very nice ) with a bbq grill and covered area to enjoy. The grounds are well kept. The location is just south of Kapa’a on a quiet side street. We loved The Passion Bakery. No messages or welcome from owners the entire stay which we thought was unusual. No suggestions on where to eat or things to do. We knew there would be no AC but it was uncomfortable in middle of day. Might not be an issue for some people but we definitely noticed it. A small window unit would be nice. We would come back.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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

We really loved this unit and complex! It was quiet and had incredible views of the ocean. The king bed was great for us. And the kitchen met all our needs. We really like the central location for touring and restaurants.
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.

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.
