For those who enjoy an active experience, rent a kayak and paddle up the Wailua River to see not just the breathtaking scenery, but one of Kauai’s famous hidden waterfalls!

If you’d like to stick closer to home, simply walk outside your door and take a stroll on the walk/bike path, as you listen to the waves crash and marvel at the clear aquamarine water.

The main home of this unique Kapa’a property boasts two bedrooms, an open loft and 2 full baths. In traditional Balinese style, you’ll find lofted post-and-beam style ceilings, creating plenty of air flow throughout the great room. This area is richly decorated in island decor and offers living room, oceanfront dining and a spacious and fully equipped kitchen.

    Wonderful stay. Would stay again. Great for my group of 4 couples. Cookware was top notch (one of our crew is a chef so we cooked at home).

    We rented this property for a mother/daughter Girl Scout trip and it did not disappoint. The view was amazing! You are just steps away from the water. The ocean was a bit too rough to swim, but the tide brought new treasures up to the shore daily which was fun. The kitchen was well equipped and there was a ton of beach gear-including lots of towels, chairs, cooler, boogie boards, toys etc. There are lots of fans in the surf shack and mermaid lounge to help keep it cool. There are also chargers all over the place, which was really nice. The check out process was super simple and easy. No bed stripping or hours worth of laundry. Overall fabulous place. We would definitely stay here again!

    Great location, amazing views. The way the property is broken up makes traveling with a lot of people possible, everyone still has their own space and the main house is the hub, it’s fantastic. They would get an excellent all the way around but we had a small refrigerator problem, BUT they came out right away, brought ice and ice chest so we didn’t loose food, even brought us beer! They cared. We cooked, played games, walked to many near by restaurants, and Safeway is close along with a great Shave Ice! There were 6 of us and this property was perfect.

    The view of the ocean was awesome!The location was spectacular, but kitchen sink had no plug, dishwasher did not clean well. All sliding doors had allot of corrosion and bathroom door in apartment over the garage did not open all the way. House could use some updating. These are only for you to maybe fix over time to make anyone else’s stay even better. We are not upset by any means, again these are things that can make a difference for future guests.

    The house was perfect. The view of the ocean is stunning. Our kids and grandkids enjoyed the deck, the yard, and the beach at low tide. The living space and bedrooms were very nice too!

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home, with its two separate spaces couldn’t have fit our family more perfectly. It’s exactly as described, perfectly centrally located, and we wouldn’t hesitate to return.

    Right on the ocean. So nice sitting on the large deck, looking out at the water. No swimming here as water was rough and it w as rocky. Lots of snorkel gear, beach chairs, toys available. Laundry room provided.Nice arrangement with main house and two apartments at the front of house. It was great having this much space! Loft was small.Located right on the bike path for oceanfront walks or bike rides.The only drawback was no air conditioning and it was HOT. There were fans provided but it still was a bit uncomfortable.The property manager, Heidi was very accommodating!

    Do NOT rent! miserable, unsafe for kids.This was the worst vacation rentals we’ve ever experienced. There is NO central air, only a couple of cheap fans and the house turned into an oven! We had an 18 month old baby and two small kids, and I honestly felt they were close to overheating and dehydrating.We could only stay one night, we scrambled to find other accommodations just so our family could be safe and comfortable. This was a huge stress and completely ruined the trip we had planned. This property should be honest about the lack of air conditioning, and only rented during the winter months due to no central air and the risk of getting heat stroke! I would never, NEVER recommend this place to anyone.

    We were a family of 4 traveling with another family of 4 with 4 early teen girls between us. The girls were not keen on taking up independent residence, so 2 took the second bedroom, 2 took the loft in the main house. They shared the full bath. My husband and I took the master and the other couple took the Mermaid suite above the garage. There was another small cottage on the property. All residences had a 'home' feeling - a place to live and work and play. While we ate most lunches on the go (local food trucks are a must), we prepared most breakfasts and dinners in. The kitchen was well stocked and provided a warm, open spot to gather and plan for a day of activity or decompress after a day well spent. There was no air conditioning, but leaving the windows open at night, closed during the day with the air moving kept to the place cool enough. And I LOVED the sound of the ocean at night. There were some opportunities for improvement, mostly maintenence related - the salt air is tough on metals and some of the window slides and screens were in need of repair or replacement, but nothing that would stop up from rebooking. And while there is ample space, you'd want to consider sleeping arrangements for a larger party. All in all, it was a fantastic, memorable week. Kapaa house added to the wonder and satisfaction of our first visit to the island, leaving us wanting more.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Before staying here I read the reviews, mostly glowing, except for one that gave a lower rating because the house was unbearably hot. I had seen all the lovely photos but was a bit concerned about the hot house review. My family visited in mid-June with temps 72 at night and 80 during the day. There was a consistent 15 mph breeze off the ocean that kept the house decently ventilated. After a day of acclimatizing, the temperature was no problem, especially since I was continuously distracted by the gorgeous view. Don’t expect to do much wading in the ocean as the sand quickly becomes coral but it’s smooth and you won’t hurt your feet. A shot out to Heidi, our host, who was a great help. All in all, highly recommended.

    Loved this place. It met our needs 100%. The ocean was steps away and we even had a baby seal monk take a nap on our beach just a few feet from us. No problems checking in or out.

    This house is gorgeous. A true Hawaiian home. It was stocked with everything we needed, beach towels, boogie boards, chairs, sand toys, and the best smelling shampoo and conditioner! The kitchen is well stocked with everything you could need. The location is perfect and close to everything. The beach out back is beautiful and possible to snorkel when the water is calm. My kids loved the neighborhood cats and named the 2 that live at the house Oreo and Rocky. We would love to come back!

    A group of nine of us stayed here to celebrate our 65th birthdays! The highlight of our trip was staying in this great location and wonderful house. We spent most our time enjoying the ocean which was just steps away. I was the one who found this house online and everyone was saying what a great find it was and thanking me. The host was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. This place was awesome! Thank you!
