Waterfront holiday rentals in Kapaʻa

This place was brilliant! I was on vacation in Princeville w/ mom and dad, and this place was exactly what we needed. It was a <10 minute drive from Hanali bay, restaurants, beaches, Hāʻena park shuttle stop. The AirBnB had a nice kitchen w/ enough cooking material to make dinner/breakfast and save a few bucks while visiting the island. We had a nice view of the ocean, and a few hidden trails near our place. Parking was hella easy. I'm def returning to the island, and if the lord be blessed, this AirBnB will be available for booking. :) Shout out to Brooke for communicating recs to us, for being so responsive, and kind throughout our trip.

We had the most fantastic stay! The views from this condominium are just amazing. From the balcony, we would see turtles, whales, and surfers daily. The beach next to the complex has excellent snorkeling. We swam with turtles and saw so many cool fish and sea life. The unit is very comfortable and well stocked. It matched the pictures and description perfectly. Check-in and out was easy, with very clear instructions. If you are staying on the island's south side, we highly recommend this rental. We will stay here again on future visits.

We had a lovely stay at Jim’s place. The condo had everything we needed and all that you’d need to have a great beach day (snorkels, umbrella, chairs, towels, etc). Easy check in and free parking. The facility across the road for a pool, outdoor gym, etc., was a nice touch and something we enjoyed utilizing. 10 min walk to the beach and a cute area for dinner, we recommend Keoki’s paradise for drinks. A 5 minute walk to a great breakfast cafe, little fish. Overall we would absolutely stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay. The condo was very clean and tidy. The ocean view was amazing with the sunrise. The balcony was a great place to enjoy the view and people watch.

I don’t think we could have picked a better place to stay on our honeymoon than Aloha Kai. Jon’s place is modern and immaculate with a homey feel and all the amenities you could ask for. He is a responsive host and it was apparent he wanted us to have a memorable stay. Kapaa is an excellent area with lots of great restaurants and shops in walking distance yet not overly crowded. My wife and I can’t wait to return! 10/10 would recommend Jon’s Aloha Kai paradise!

Shaun was a super friendly and proactive host. His place had everything we needed to entertain and care for our little one on her first big trip, which made life easy for mom and dad. We love the Kiahuna Plantation and highly recommend units like Shaun's on the backside of the property for privacy and peace, while still having easy access to all of the amenities. We look forward to our next trip!

We had such a great time here! The location in Kapa’a is perfect—right in the middle of the island, so it was easy to explore both the north and south shores and Waimea Canyon. The nearby Coconut Marketplace is convenient, and I recommend the Tuesday and Thursday farmers market in the parking lot. We grabbed local produce, bread, and butter mochi, and the kitchen was just the right size for making fresh meals. The place was clean, nicely updated and cozy and comfortable home base. We slept well. Allen was super friendly and responsive leading up to our trip, and even gave us a quick call to make sure everything was going well. We also appreciated having beach chairs, a cooler, umbrella, and even a cart—it made beach days super easy. As a younger couple, we loved the slower pace and small-town feel of Kauai after being in Honolulu for a wedding. Nothing felt too far away, and I’d recommend it to anyone wanting a cozy and convenient spot. We would book again!

I probably do not have enough characters to list all of the great things about staying here! First off, you are right on the water and the rocks keep people from hanging out in your view, so you can listen to the gorgeous, fairly large waves in peace. The closest beach is on the highway, but I noticed there is another beach within easy walking distance. Walk past two driveways and you will see a somewhat hidden “beach access” sign near a one way sign. The unit was clean, the kitchen is gorgeous and I loved the art they had hanging. The air conditioning in the bedroom kept the room very cool and comfortable. The other one did a pretty good job, too. We overheat easily, but we were comfortable. This location is great because you are midway between the two end-of-the-road points on the island. There are lots of places to eat. If you want to save some money, the best grocery prices we saw were at Big Save.

This was a great place and a short walk to the beach. Also great how close it was to the airport after a long flight to the island. Wonderful Airbnb hosts as well as they were always super responsive and proactive. Loved being about midway between the North and Southside of the island. Couple places we loved near by, favorite shaved ice was Hee Fat and Malasadas at Paradise bakery. Like this rental, very reasonable prices and offer fantastic products!

Michael was an incredible host! My fiancé and I had a wonderful time. The unit is cozy and perfect for 2 people. We definitely loved having an in unit washer and dryer. We used it often! The unit was also pretty nicely located. I ran to the beach in the mornings from the unit and it was pretty quick!

We have stayed at many different properties of Susanne’s over the years, and this was one of our favorite places to stay. Exactly as depicted in the ad. Super clean and super convenient. We can’t wait to come back to Kauai and stay in one of Susanne’s properties in the future.

Overall we had a wonderful stay at Rico and Cinzia's place. Everything was clean and you are right up against rocks with water crashing against them. You can see turtles swimming and even spinner dolphin's one day. It is within walking distance to Poipu beach where you can rent snorkels, boogie boards and surf boards. Also, within walking or driving distance to The Grand Hyatt that has wonderful restaurants or Shipwreck Beach that is a great beach and has an easy explorative walk/hike. If I had one critique it would be for stocking the house a bit more with simple things like pens, games, parchment paper or storage bags.

The host was very responsive and addressed our concerns quickly, which we really appreciated. We booked last minute, and while the property wasn’t ready upon arrival, the host promptly sent a cleaner to take care of it. Once everything was taken care of, we were able to relax and enjoy our stay. The view is absolutely wonderful, and despite the initial hiccup, we would definitely book this place again!

What an amazing magical place. We enjoyed every minute we were able to spend at this beautiful place. We had everything we needed and it was so peaceful and serene.

James and Sara’s place exceeded our expectations. Incredible location in Poipu, a beautiful “studio” suite with all the amenities you want including a private pool and efficiency kitchen, very responsive hosts, and a truly great value considering this area is in high demand. I would stay again, and I highly recommend these excellent accommodations!

Excellent location right on the oceanfront. Easy access to swimmable spot (walk several block down to public beach access or walk over some rocks/logs on the beach toward the more swimmable side). We also snorkeled right in front of the house but entry was a little tricker. House is older but clean. Tracey communicated well with any questions I had and to make sure all was well. Easily walkable to market, several good restaurants, etc. The house worked well for 4 adults and we would absolutely stay again if in the area! Thanks Tracey.

Absolutely perfect! It’s a double condo with tons of space and a double lanai with beautiful views. Truly our best air bnb stay yet. Princeville is gorgeous and the Hanalei Bay Resort has great amenities, two good restaurants, two pools access to the beach and a beach bar. Spectacular!

Nice, clean condo that is well stocked with everything you would need for a fun stay. The kitchen is a great size and helps to save money on meals. The resort is really fun with a pool and water slides and three jacuzzis. The location is fantastic because it is in the middle of the island and across the street from a grocery store and other convenient stores. Also very nice touch for having chocolate, cookies, and coffee for guests. Also the sleeper sofa was comfortable.

We loved staying at Jonathan's place! the view and proximity to the ocean was hard to beat, groceries were nearby, and the place itself was clean and organized. We especially appreciated the snorkel gear!

Great communication from the host. Beach is big with plenty of space at the resort

Great little gem of a spot. Dolphins and whales jumping off just a few 100yards from the balcony. Amazing sun rises. Pecan breakfast sweets just across the road.

We had a truly amazing stay at this beautiful beachfront home in Kauai. The location is absolutely stunning—steps from the sand, with peaceful ocean views and the relaxing sound of waves around the clock. The apartment was incredibly well equipped, especially for traveling with a toddler. From the child-safe setup to the thoughtful amenities (like a high chair, pack 'n play, and beach toys), everything was designed to make our stay easy and comfortable. We felt totally at ease, and our little one was so happy exploring and playing safely. It’s the perfect place to unwind, recharge, and enjoy the natural beauty of Kauai. We would absolutely love to return—highly recommend for families or anyone looking for a peaceful island retreat!

A great place with real attention to detail. Perfectly laid out. Excellent showers/beds. A very well laid out kitchen with pretty much everything you need. Tons of beach stuff and extras. including towels, bug spray, suntan lotion, snorkeling gear, first aide, etc., etc. Lots of thoughtful local recommendations from the host if you haven't stayed on the North Shore before. If you're into off-the-beaten path snorkeling or swimming spots, Turtle Cave (short walk to a basically unmarked trail with a fairly steep descent) is pretty cool. It's rocky with so-so snorkeling but the cave is cool, and you have a good chance for turtles. Note for T-Mobile customers - there's no reception here. Wifi was solid including video calls. Also note that like most North Shore properties you will awaken to the pre-dawn call of the Roosters.

Dan and Katy were very easy to communicate with and quick to respond. When I messaged them about Airbnb issues and questions, they were very quick to resolve any issues. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Kauai!
