This small 45-unit condo complex provides peace and serenity and a great place to rest and relax. We are located centrally on the island, in the town of Kapaa, on the gorgeous and lush Hawaiian island of Kauai! This is a well-cared for and beautifully furnished condo, decorated in the teal colors of the ocean and with gorgeous Hawaiian and beach decor, including beautiful artwork from a local photographer. The owners have spared no expense in decorating this condo.
Our condo includes a well-stocked kitchen, washer and dryer in the unit, comfortable California king sized bed, air conditioned bedroom, free WiFi, 55" television with soundbar in living room, 43" television in bedroom, sound proof double-pane windows in bedroom for quiet and privacy.
We provide binoculars for viewing turtles and whales, beach chairs, beach umbrella, picnic/beach cooler, and often guests leave behind snorkel gear for other guests to use if they wish.
Condo complex has barbecue grills, a sparkling swimming pool, and the owners provide free guest treats (such as chocolates, Kauai coffee, and chips). There are no resort fees or parking fees. Our spectacular and calming little piece of paradise will not disappoint!
Enjoy the vacation of your dreams with breathtaking and unobstructed views of the ocean! Rest and relaxation awaits you! Sit on the spacious lanai and listen to the ocean waves, enjoy the gorgeous sunrise, take a stroll on the sandy beach below you, or lounge by the cozy pool.

Stunning views of the ocean. Sunrises from the lanai. The condo is well appointed and very clean. The lanai is spectacular. Pool is nice though it’s in a parking lot so not scenic , but it was well maintained and nice to have. The one opportunity is to get a more powerful air conditioner for the bedroom as is it tough to cool it down. Oh and the resident roosters and chickens provide great entertainment.

We thank you so very much for your amazing review of our condo!!! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the stunning direct oceanfront views from our private lanai. We are glad that you enjoyed the resident chickens! Yes, they can be hilarious!
As you noted and as shown in our photos, the swimming pool is located in the front part the complex, as there is not room in the back of the complex, given that the ocean is there. However, there are nice plants and foliage around the pool to create a relaxing atmosphere. We will see if the air conditioning filter needs to be changed. Thank you for the heads up on that!

Beautiful views. We saw a turtle and dolphins off the deck. Check in was very easy. Kitchen and bathroom facilities were very clean and very well stocked with everything we needed. Good Wi-Fi. We use to stay in Poipu but this area has great access to both sides of the island so we spent less time in the car and more time on the beaches. We would definitely recommend staying here and will come back!

Many guests, like you, love the location on the coast, yet in the middle of the island, which makes for shorter day trips to the north and south sides of the island.

The owners ( Regina & Scott) always update and maintain their places. It is right next to the ocean and the waves breaking is a constant sound that we love. They also supplied beach chairs, beach towels and snorkeling gear. The grounds are also very well kept up. We have also stayed at place on the big island in Kona that the owners also own which was also spectacular.

Location Sun sets on the other side of the island TrafficSewer Smell Outside What We LearnedWe learned that we prefer actual beach front, knowing the price will be higher but worth it. On paper we thought the location was good, but found we had to drive too much every day. We would prefer just walking outside onto the beach. We also would prefer a lanai with chaise lounges. To experience the island, we would prefer staying a few days in the north (Hanalei or Princeville) and a few in the south (Poipu) which was our favorite.

À propos de l’hôte
Hôte : Regina and Scott
We have been visiting Kauai and the other Hawaiian islands since 2008. We fell in love with Kauai on our first visit. Since then, we have dreamed of owning our own piece of paradise on this lush and beautiful island. Our dream finally came true on November 17, 2021, when Wailua Bay View #208 became ours. Given the stunning, breathtaking ocean views located in a serene and private setting, we fittingly renamed our condo "The Seashore Hideaway". Our dream was not only to be able to enjoy a little piece of paradise ourselves but more importantly to share our hideaway with others who want to have a relaxing or romantic beach vacation. We have decorated the condo in beach-themed decor, to provide a relaxing beach vibe and allow you to really feel like you have escaped the everyday rigors of ordinarily life. We have thoroughly enjoyed sharing our place with others and seeing the joy that others have experienced by coming to our beautiful island and enjoying The Seashore Hideaway as much as we do!
Voici pourquoi l’hôte a choisi cet hébergement
The view at The Seashore Hideaway can't be beat. You can see the ocean from just outside our entry door, and as you take one step at a time into the condo, the view gets better and better. Step out onto the lanai at the other end of the condo, and you will be in awe over the expansive and unobstructed ocean view that is right before your eyes. Given that this condo complex has only 45 units, you will avoid the hustle and bustle of busier condo complexes or resorts. Here, you will find peace and serenity and you can actually go home feeling truly relaxed. If you enjoy hearing the sound of the ocean, as the waves roll in, then this is the place for you. If you are looking for a place to enjoy a quiet or romantic time away, this is the perfect option for you.
Voici ce qui rend cet hébergement unique
Expansive and stunning condo right on the ocean and located in a small condo complex, offering true relaxation.
