We loved our stay at Sandcastles! It is such a beautiful property we wanted to stay another week! The views are amazing, only a few steps and you are on the beach. The location can not be beat. Very private and minutes from Kapa'a town. It is also close to our favorite beach, Anini. Our only suggestion would be some privacy shades in the bathrooms. Still gets a 10 out of 10 from our group!
Wonderful view of the jungle and ocean from inside the house. Great beach to snorkel and sit and watch the ocean.
DO NOT STAY HERE. AWEFUL. RUST EVERYWHERE,ROACHES, DIRTY, EVERYTHING IS FALLING APART. DOORS DONT WORK SCREENS FLY OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT-OVEN DOES NOT WORK, FRIDGE LEAKING WATER-VERY NEGLECTED PROPERTY. PROPERTY MANAGER NON RESPONSIVE-FELT UNSAFE IN THIS HOUSE AS NON OF THE DOORS TO OUTSIDE LOCK OR CLOSE ALL THE WAY. BUGS KEEP COMING IN-MOSQUITOS AS WELL. NO AIR CONDITIONING- NO SCREENS AND NO WORKING DOORS. BASICALLY A SAUNA. AWEFUL, RUINED OUR ENTIRE STAY. EXPOSED ELECTRICAL EVERYWHERE- NOT TO CODE. I DONT KNOW HOW THEY GET AWAY WITH RENTING THIS UNIT. NOT HABITABLE
great space - fantastic yard and beach - great kitchen and cooking utensils
Doors & windows don't work. All doors held closed with wood rods, locks don't work. Spa maintenance never showed up. Yard guys showed up 2 times early in the morning with no warning. Most lights and switches don't work. Screens fall off of windows and doors. House has alot of water damage and wood rot. Showers and sinks are so old they look dirty. Ice machine doesn't work. Plugs don't work. The mattress and pillows are crushed and flat. The internet router in the master bedrooms shines a bright blue flashing light and you can't stop it. People park on the street and walk through the property right past the master bathroom that has no curtains. Parts of the outside porch are loose and fall through making it unsafe to walk outside. The gutters are clogged and cause water to go into the house. Master bath was so corroded when turned on the jets shot out Black chunks. House had no tissues and barely any toilet paper. Stove randomly turns off

Worth every second we were there, insanely close to beach, amazing service, incredible vibes. And close to everything!
This property is in an unbelievably awesome Location. It is unfortunate because the house when it was built was a beautiful house. I would guess early 80's. Now 40 some years later I would say other than an appliance or two nothing else has ever been done to upgrade or update the house. I could go into detail but I don't think that would be helpful. I will put it this way I am a builder in a very affluent resort community, I also property manage quite a few multi million dollar properties. I would not recommend this property at all I rate it as a zero no stars. I had to put one Star for this to post.
The house and location were everything we were hoping for. But some key information regarding the road to the property was not disclosed by Vacasa at the time of booking which unfortunately had an adverse effect on overall quality of our trip.
We’ve stayed here twice already. It’s an unbeatable location with beach access on a pristine quiet beach. It’s next to a river full of palm trees with a jungle look. The property is huge with a large private lawn/garden. The only ding on this listing is that it’s an outdated beach bungalow. It’s overpriced for the accommodations but we still go back because the location is amazing.
We had a great time. The house worked great for our group and the location was amazing especially being able to walk right out on to the beach. The communication was top notch and any questions we had were answered right away. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you
If you are looking for the most beautiful sunrises this is the house for you. There was more then enough room to accommodate our family and loved the privacy the house gave.
