Beautiful house andAmenities. We love cooking in the fully equipped kitchen. The pool and hot tub were great! Thanks so much for a great experience, we did not want to leave!!!
We had a great stay. This was a great location and was perfect for our family of 7 adults. We enjoyed the pool, jacuzzi and amazing sunrise every morning.
The inside of the home looked just as pictured and the view was beautiful. We had a great time in the pool and the hot tub was nice. The home was nicely stocked. Things to note: The parking is a bit cramped and we were a bit surprised by the 12 stairs leading up to the front door as we did not see any stairs pictured. Had 1 person with us that has a difficult time with stairs.
We had a party of 7 (5 adults, 2 kids) and all fit comfortably. The house has an awesome view and love the walking path and beach right out front. Being here allowed us to easily get to the north or south shore for day adventures.
We had a great stay at this house and the ocean view was absolutely breathtaking. The house is very spacious and well equipped with everything we needed, and its location made it so convenient to reach the Safeway, CVS, and nearby restaurants. Brenda, the housekeeper, was very welcoming and helpful from the first day, which we truly appreciated. We eventually got used to the local roosters after the first couple of days and slept very well for the rest of our stay. However, we were a bit disappointed that the outdoor maintenance didn't match the quality of the interior. The jacuzzi was too dirty to use and we even found snails in the pool, so we hope the cleaning for those areas can be improved. Overall, it was still a satisfying experience mainly because of the stunning view and Brenda’s hospitality.
The location and home was perfect for our group of 4 friends. The pool and hot tub were very well maintained. And just a few steps from the beach. Would 10/10 stay here again.
We had a wonderful stay in the very well appointed Kauai Beach house in Kapa’a. The house is in a great central location for seeing Kauai’s sights! We enjoyed the lovely furnishings, the gorgeous view and well stocked kitchen as well.
Our family of 7 really enjoyed our stay here. The house was stocked with everything you could imagine! The beach was right outside our backyard and the pool was fun as well! Thank you so much!!
Very well stocked vrbo! Nothing was missing and the thoughtful items available in the house made running to the store for forgotten items not necessary. Location cant be beat! Wake up to gorgeous sunrises and walk the beach every morning.Easy walking distance to cute shops and restaurants
Couldn't ask for a better location, ocean, beach and a great walking path along the sea. Really enjoyed all of it. The facility met all our needs. Suggest you check the temp on the frig. It was freezing the liquids.
Wonderful place to stay in a great location. Very comfortable, well-outfitted house with lots of room to stretch out, great view of the ocean and a nice pool. Sit out on the lanai or inside and get great ocean breezes through the wide screen doors. House located at the beginning of the oceanfront beach walk, made for easy and beautiful early morning walks to Java Kai for coffee.
Good location, right on the beach. Pool is shared between 3 houses, but not busy. Hot tub was not working when we were there, but wasn’t a necessity. Booking was straightforward, check-in and check-out were simple. House has all the amenities we needed including water toys, grill, full kitchen that was well stocked. Would stay again.
We had a great time staying here. The beach house was very centrally located to easily walk to the beach, restaurants, grocery stores. You can get anywhere you need without having to fight traffic. The shared pool was great! We stayed a week and didn’t see anyone else ever use it. The house was well stocked with anything you might need. It also had adequate seating for our large group both inside and outside. Caleb resolved any issue we had immediately! He was highly responsive and accommodating. I’d stay here again for sure!
Our family had a wonderful, relaxing holiday at this beach house. The location was great, the view was awesome, and the kids loved the pool! The kitchen was stocked with everything you could need. The only drawback was the cleanliness. All of the dishes and pans could use a fresh cleaning, and the floors need a deep cleaning. Overall, though we were very happy!
We had a great stay at the property. We had a few problems with the back door getting locked for half a day and unfortunately had to have a locksmith come out to repair the door but Brenda was easy to communicate with. We also did have a smoke detector go off multiple times in the middle of the night which was unfortunate with sleeping babies. I would say the hot tub we were not able to use as it was not very clean and I didn’t want my kids going in with floating debri/biofilm. Overall having the pool and the beach so close was wonderful. The proximity to town was also great.
We enjoyed a very relaxing vacation at this property. Pool is smallish and was chilly (Dec) but the kids still braved it. However the hot tub saw consistent use! Some of the jets had been turned off & shot out mold/algae scum when we turned them on, but it mostly cleared after a day. Appreciated the use of water toys, and we tried the paddle board just down the beach in the calm, protected tide pool area. Plenty of living space for family (4 adults, 2 kids) to spread out.
