We loved this charming property! Falling asleep to the ocean waves and then eating breakfast every morning overlooking the ocean was perfection! Loved the vibes of the tastefully decorated space and appreciated all the little items that were there for us to use. We felt right at home and would definitely come back again!

Excellent stay at Kappa sands 4

An oasis by the sea

We loved hearing the ocean waves as we drifted off to sleep or woke up the next morning. The location was perfect for our adventures and the Coconut Marketplace was in walking distance of food and other necessities.

Stay in Kappaa

We loved our stay in this condo! Location was great and the view out to the ocean each day was amazing. The sunrises are spectacular! The surrounding area was beautiful and quiet. Starting our day with coffee and malasadas from the nearby Passion Bakery was an added treat! We would love to stay here again!

First time to Kauai - great central location to do discovery. Beach area excellent access, again central location to access everything.Sunrises and moonrises were beautiful….Vacasa made our stay easy and enjoyable … we would recommend this type of stay for seniors like us, quiet, and accessible to the noise if you need it….

Great Vacation Condo

Quiet condo area steps from a secluded beach. Ideal location for beach hopping around the island or just hanging out and relaxing. We loved hearing the waves all night. Neighbors were all friendly. We would definitely return!

THE BEST

I loved every second and every inch of this cute studio! Very happy with everything it had to offer, especially the VIEW. The walk out to the ocean was amazing. The bed was comfy, the kitchen was clean and useful, and the bathroom was organized very well. This will definitely be on my list of booking again when in Kauai. Thank you!!

Great stay in waterfront condo

This unit was what we were looking for, primarily waterfront. I wasn't sure at booking whether there would be a road or walking/biking trail between the unit and the water and we were happy to find that there is just a small lawn and then a flight of stairs to get to the water. The unit is a smaller studio but does have a well stocked kitchen and we were able to easily cook. The location is fantastic and the unit was very clean. We would stay again if end up in Kapa'a again

Wonderful

It’s pretty private don’t have a lot of people walk in back and forth. Small but great for two people. We didn’t spend a lot of time in there. Ice, chest towels, snorkel, beautiful sunsets and sunrises provided. The only thing I missed wasn’t air conditioning. It got quite warm at times. It’s my third time at Papa Sands, and I would definitely go back again. Also a great location.

No air conditioning. Somehow we missed that on the listing or it wasn’t stated. It’s TINY. It’s a studio. The bed could be lifted and put in the wall. The view though doesn’t get any better!!!! Love that there were no additional fees!! We LOVED the roosters lol. It’s a short walk to LAVA LAVA for food and drinks on the beach and it was fantastic food. Definitely stay again. Super cute and clean!

Fantastic Oceanfront Studio

My husband and I stayed here prior to a work conference I was attending on Oahu, and could not have been happier with this choice. The unit was easy to access from the parking lot, the check in process was smooth, and unit had plenty of basic amenities to get you started (e.g., coffee, filters, salt/pepper/oil, cleaning products, bathroom supplies). We really appreciated the additional touches of having beach chairs and a cooler, as well as a first aid kit! The oceanfront location of the unit is a big plus--you can keep the screens open and listen to the waves all night. You can walk right out to the small but wonderful beach at the end of the stairs and enjoy the sunrise and sunset from there. It has enough sandy areas in the water that you can enjoy swimming or cooling off in the water, but not necessarily one to snorkel in. Overall, a wonderful spot to relax in.Also, the unit is very close to restaurants like a local favorite Kintaro and a local brewing company restaurant--both of which we enjoyed. The location is convenient also for traveling around the island. We had a wonderful stay and look forward to finding a way to return here again. Mahalo!
