Cozy room next to the beach. perfect location for going either direction on the island. Perfect for two people who are needing a place to rest while adventuring the island

This spot was a wonderful landing place after our flight. We stayed at 3 locations during our 8 day visit on Kauai and this was the first. It was close to the airport and easy to find. The view and location was outstanding. Waking up to the sunrise over the ocean and the sound of waves was exactly what we were hoping for. The beach below the apartment was gorgeous and private and was really easy to get to. There is a short path of stairs that are not steep. Most days when we went out to the beach there were only a few people there. When we were there the surf was strong and there is no lifeguard so it is advised only to swim with caution. However there is a shallow lagoon that kids and adults can wade in and the small swimming pool was clean and also not crowded when we went. The room is a bit small and if you’re staying for more than a few days it can get cramped but if you’re just using this spot for a landing place after adventuring all day that probably wouldn’t be an issue. The bed was comfortable and the fully equipped kitchen was a huge plus for us. Some of the reviews mentions rodent problem, we did not encounter any animal pests during our stay, but there was a charming chicken family who roamed around the property. Overall I give this place an 8/10 definitely would recommend but if you are planning an extended stay I would say split the days between this spot and another larger cottage or house.

Updated property, great location, and the property was very clean but the best part was having the ocean waves crashing so close to us.

Pros -
The unit was located at an amazing location. The views in the morning from the patio were amazing! Lots of restaurants/stores located nearby which was great.
It was decently stocked with necessary essentials. Eg. Beach chairs, utensils, coffee maker, microwave, bathroom essentials, lots of towels, beach towels.
There were some welcome snacks provided which was a nice gesture.
Checking in was super convenient due to detailed instructions.
Parking was available in ample inside the community.
For us, we requested a late checkout because we had a really late flight. We contacted the management and they were able to get it confirmed in less than 5 mins for a small fee. For us, that was super helpful.
Cons -
The unit had a rodent issue. We were unaware and left a few food items (bread in its packaging, bananas, cookies in their packaging) on the counter which were eaten into. Few of our bags containing food were chewed into too. I understand the tropical climate could result in the presence of bugs, but I was not expecting rodents. Would have been good if they could have at least let us know so we would have been more careful with the food.
Some essentials like coffee, sugar, common salt were missing from the pantry.
The apartment was clean and well kept, but definitely was old and dated.

This was a perfect location. 20 feet from the beach on the ground floor.
The unit was very small without a bedroom, but it was perfect for my wife and me. We went to sleep each night to the sound of the ocean. Pure paradise!

The apartment at Kapa'a Sands was a nice little place with good amenities and beach gear. The back door leads out into a small lawn with a path down to the beach, which was never crowded. The pictures look like the beach is right out the back door, but there is a small protected area on a slope that separates the lawn from the beach.
Pros:
+ The host left us a care package, which was very thoughtful.
+ Very close to the beach, with a nice ocean breeze to help keep things cool using the provided fans.
+ Easy access to laundry services, coffee shops, and restaurants.
+ Parking space provided.
Cons:
- There was a rodent issue. We weren't able to leave packaged food out on the counter. While we never saw the rodent, it had gotten into our food and left droppings on the counter.
- The parking spaces are narrow, which can produce anxiety if you are renting a car with your own insurance.
- As with most of Kau'ai, there are tons of wild chickens and having the windows open for the breeze means that you will likely be awakened by a rooster right next to the apartment early in the morning (earplugs may be helpful)

Loved, loved, loved the view and listening to the ocean waves all day. Great communication with mgmt. Nice welcome package with a card. Great touch! Shops and restaurants within walking distance and Safeway is a short drive. There is also a super walmart between property and the airport. Great size for hubby and I but it would be tight if you add small child or above. I would stay here again.

On our first honeymoon after 20 years together. Paradise! Everything we needed was here, and nothing could beat the beauty, not to mention, privacy! We walked along the coastline, and yes there were resorts with more amenities, but that included more guests. We felt like we were in a romantic sanctuary. Cons: sticky floors, due to humidity I'm sure. 3.5/5 cleanliness, but the charm certainly outweighed the minor imperfections. Planning to return with our teens next year! **Don't feed the chickens!
