Moana Kai Beach House - Oceanfront Kauaʻi Escape with Pool & Sunrise Views

My oh my, did we enjoy this beach front property. We took the entire family of 7. The property was perfect and we loved the location. Pro tip - after sampling poke all over the island, we best by far was from Big Save market which is a short walk from the property.

This place is an amazing find! The house sits just off the beach with stunning views and a wonderful ocean breeze. The house itself had absolutely everything we needed and wanted for our vacation. The grounds and pool are beautifully maintained and sitting in the hot tub at the end of the day listening to the ocean waves was incredible. Easy access to everything we wanted to see and do on island - loved the location. By far the best experience we’ve had with a vacation rental. Our family of 6 adults fit very comfortably. Brenda is the on-island contact and she was amazing! Overall, best vacation experience I’ve ever had. Will definitely rent here again!

Perfect space for a larger group! Great location, close to the beach and for amazing sunrises.

LOVED the location! Easy access to downtown Kapaa and right on the walking trail and beach. Beautiful sunrises everyday. The pool was wonderful and we will definitely look at staying here again.

Super location steps from the beach. Perfect location; close to Kapaa, airport and nearly equidistant from Princeville and Poipu.. The pool and spa were excellent to relax in. Amenities in the house were excellent. Kitchen fully set up to cook anything with a Treagor barbecue on the back porch. Sweet. Nothing to change except…put a slit ac system in the main living area. Trade winds did not cut the humidity enough for us. Bedroom ac’s were great. We live in SoCal so we are not use to the humidity. May not be an issue for others. Loved the house and would definitely book again.

Check in process was easy, the ocean views and sunrises are spectacular. However we were a bit dismayed by the condition of the property. My husband and daughter immediately went out and bought Windex to clean the sliding glass doors and the windows that face the ocean which were quite dirty. The property itself is a little tired, outdoor furniture was rusting out, the outdoor grill is actually a Blackstone, and was not working when we got there. The local property manager (Brenda) was very responsive to our concerns and brought a replacement Blackstone the next day, and also brought in a crew to clean the windows and the floors. The kitchen was really well stocked with everything you need. Hot tub and pool were lovely, and we had them entirely to ourselves. The town of Kapa’a has some great shops and restaurants and is a good location for visiting other parts of the island. There were lovely beaches not far away. Bike path in front of the house was great, we used it a lot. There are some people living on the beach nearby but that was never a problem.

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.

We enjoyed the stay as location was very advantageous as between activities in the North and South and everything in between. Property manager was also very responsible whenever we were running short on any supplies and helpful with some tips on local places. We enjoyed pool and Hot Tub and Kitchen seemed to have what you need if you wanted to cook meals but outside breakfast we enjoyed the local restaurants for dinners.

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.

The property was really nice. It was comfortable, cozy and we had plenty of room to relax. The kitchen was fully stocked for cooking. We loved our coffee assortment and the spices in the cabinet. 3 things: we didnt get our check in procedures until a little after 4 pm. I contacted the host throughout the day and didn’t hear back. Maybe it was a difference in time zones. But I started feeling we might have issues. Luckily we didn’t and were able to get in the property without any issues. Secondly, we got locked out of the house on the second day. The battery on the key pad was low so it stopped functioning. With that being said, the local contact person was at the house within 30 minutes to change out the batteries and get us back in. And overall she was very friendly, easy to reach and responsive. She even brought us 2 bikes, an air pump and some citronella bracelets for the mosquitos. We appreciated her willingness to help. Loved our bike rides along the shore. Maybe just check the batteries before hand. Third the pool was a little murky; however we still got in and enjoyed having a pool. Lastly, the check out procedures in the binder in the unit stated a check out of 11 am. But the cleaning people showed up right at 10 am. Luckily we were pretty much ready to go, and she gave us some time to pack up. I just share this for consistency in communication.Overall we enjoyed our stay. We made great memories and would rent again if we had the chance.

Check in was easy. Nice to have the shared pool in the front yard all to ourselves. Hot tub was a nice treat. All bedrooms have A/C but there was no A/C in main living area. Nice ocean breeze comes through the patio and large screen doors through the kitchen. Plenty of space to hang out. Thanks for having us.

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!!!

Awesome property on the beach! My family loved the proximity to shopping, activities and pedestrian path. We can’t wait to stay there again.

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 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!

Great home with all the amenities. Fully stocked with everything needed. Spectacular views!

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.

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.

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

This home is in a fantastic location, close to everything and easy access to both sides of the island. Very comfortable!

The house was very clean and nicely laid out. It was close to restaurants and beaches. It was a comfortable and pleasant stay.

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.

Amazing property, gracious host, Brenda went out of her way to accommodate us. Made us feel very welcome and even brought us baked goodies from her bakery. A little hiccup with VRBO booking but not the hosts fault.

The house is clean and the view is so nice!!

need grab bars in the showers

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.

Good Stay Satisified

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!!

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!

Very nice unit.

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.

We really enjoyed our stay and think this was a great location to access the entire island. There were lots of amenities that made our stay even more enjoyable, including beach chairs, a cooler, googles, and a paddle board. Also, there was plenty of space for the 5 of us to be comfortable and spread out. I really did my research before booking this house and it delivered. I especially appreciated the big well stocked kitchen. Having our 3 twenty something kids we used it a lot! And the open floor plan with the ocean view was incredible. Brenda was lovely and a big thank you to her as well. We really fell in love with Kauai and hope to come back someday. Thank you for the great experience! Mahalo Tisha

Great location and nice space. Lovely backyard views

Nice house lots of extras beautiful view and close to the beach and ocean. Had a wonderful time here. Thank you

This property is amazing. We couldn’t be happier with our choice! There were seven of us in total, and we had the most amazing time. The property is perfectly located at the beginning of the bike path. You can walk to town, rent bikes, swim in the pool or hot tub, or hit the beach. We have five children that range in age from 7 years old to 13 years old. This house was absolutely perfect for a “free range “situation while we were cleaning up or packing for the beach or hiking, the kids could do their own thing safely with a short distance. The owner, Caleb, was super responsive. Check in and check out were super smooth. Thank you so much for having us! We hope to return someday!

We celebrated our Father's 80th birthday. Jacuzzi and pool were awesome!

This location is great to see both North and South of the island as it is centrally located on the East coast, near the airport. I find if you stay on the North or South, you may feel a bit limited. With Lihue/Kapaa/etc so close, you have plenty of dining aroud the corner. There are some very easily accessed beaches, or jump in the car to go to some of the more "top 10" beaches within 20-30 minutes. The host contacted us very kindly during our stay offering assistance. I honestly was enjoying myself so much, I forgot to even reach out. Also the guide book was surprisingly incredible! It became a running joke with our group of 4 adults It was nice to do a load of laundry. We caught a couple fish on a charter and had everything to prepare a full meal at the house. We enjoyed a nice hot tub to decompress at night after hike! All was clean and easy. A very friendly dog next door came to visit on occasion- big highlight with our crew.

We all had a great time, lovely view of Ocean and Brenda was awesome Thank you

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.

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.
