About this property
DIRECT OCEAN FRONT W/BIG VIEWS... Kapaa Sands
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)

Beautiful view and great living space. It was nice falling asleep to the sounds of the waves. I suggest bringing an eye mask and fan, as there are no blinds for the windows and no AC. Overall, really nice stay

As clarification, we do have a ceiling fan as well as a portable fan for your use. Thank you.
The property was wonderful with a great view and great location. There is an early morning tidal pool out front where you can see fish and crabs. There are shops and restaurants within easy walking distance. There is also a pool and a grill but we never ended up there because we were by the ocean.We would highly recommend staying at the Kaapaa Sands.
This was a wonderful place to stay. A real jewel right on the water with a beautiful view. Clean, nicely appointed, with all the amenities you could want. Centrally located if you plan on exploring Kauai, with some nice restaurants within easy walking distance. Communication from the hosts was excellent. Highly recommended!
We loved the beautiful ocean view, the location was very convenient, and the room was very clean and well equipped. We had a very nice stay and would stay again if we return to Kauai.
The property was exactly as described. Beautiful ocean view, close to everything. We walked to dinner every night. No complaints and we would definitely would stay here again.
I loved the location of this property. It was a quiet area. Being put to sleep by ocean waves was awesome. We walked to Lava Lava Beach Club for a lot of our meals. It was not too far of a drive to each of our excursions. The Na Pali Coast tour through Makana Charters was highlight of trip. My only critique would be to invest in better pillows.

Thanks for the feedback… as fyi, the pillows consist of two high end 100% down pillows which we love along with one non-down pillow for anyone that needs it.
Can not say enough great things about this place!! Very communicative host, condo had everything you could possibly want/need and the view was unbelievable!
Wow! Did we ever have an amazing stay at this perfect spot! Great location! Comfortable bed! Lots of places near by to accommodate. The ocean right outside was like our own private beach! The hosts were entirely accommodating!
This was the absolute best stays! The location of the condo is perfect for walking to soo many restaurants and stores. The condo itself has literally everything you could need. The kitchen is fully stocked with all your cooking needs. The ocean views are breathtaking. Falling asleep every night to the sound of the waves crashing is exactly the feel you want!!Having a small beach area in front is a huge bonus. Would definitely stay here again and again and again.
What a lovely place right on the beach to watch the beautiful sunrises and hear the waves crashing all night long. Has everything you need for a wonderful stay! Host was very helpful with quick response time. Would definitely come back and stay!!
The view from our balcony was amazing. We loved the sound of the ocean at night. Having beach chairs and an umbrella for us to use was a nice plus that we used several times. Excellent shopping and restaurants were within easy walking distance. We also loved having the pool and laundry facilities onsite.
Beautiful place to stay! Great views and so relaxing. We loved hearing the crashing waves throughout the night. Fun shops and good restaurants near by. We have such an amazing time, and would definitely stay again!
Excellent location, so much to walk to , passions bakery a must and sleeping giant grill is a must, and a shout out to Lance at Queens jewelry next door, check him out. Antiques at pagoda and even got a tattoo at Ironbridge, can walk to it all This rental had the best beach you will not feel the urge to rush off to another beach.
Kitchen very well stocked with essentials. We cooked meals and didn’t need to improvise. Also, the kitchen was actually much larger than I expected based on photos of the unit I saw. Bathroom was fine. There were snorkeling gear and beach chairs. The view was awesome. Parking was convenient. The unit is close to water with a beach walking trail is very close. Great restaurants are close. Great hiking on Sleeping Giant is close. Farmers market was close. If you want to see, feel, hear, and smell the ocean- this unit will satisfy you.
This studio condo was amazing! There were little surprises everywhere around our home away from home. Kitchen was completely stocked, the linens and bed were comfortable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better view! Location was perfect and central to everywhere we wanted to go and everything we wanted to see! We came in October and were happy to have the windows open and listen to the ocean crash throughout the night. Sunrises were special. The hosts were super friendly and very responsive! We would love to come here again.
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.
The location of Kapaa Sands is fantastic! The beach is like having your own private beach. It’s a small resort so not many people, it’s wonderful. The view was stunning, seriously “ocean front”. I don’t think I’ve ever slept so good, listing to the waves just a few yards away. I highly recommend this magical place, we will definitely be back.

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.
