Kauai Beach House for the Perfect Island Vacation

Welcome to the serene and picturesque Moana Kai Beach House, your gateway to paradise on the beautiful island of Kauai. Nestled along the pristine shores of Waipouli Beach, this exquisite beachfront luxury property offers an unrivaled experience that words can hardly capture. Here, you'll be greeted by the soothing melody of ocean waves and enveloped by breathtaking views that stretch as far as the eye can see.

A Natural Oasis:
From your private lanai, sip island-grown coffee each morning and witness the magic of a Kauai sunrise. Feel the gentle caress of cool ocean breezes throughout the year, making it an ideal spot for whale watching during the winter months. This is not just a vacation; it's an immersion in the natural wonders of Hawaii.

The Poolside Paradise:
The Moana Kai Beach House boasts a unique and inviting private swimming pool adorned with a cascading waterfall, just steps away from your ocean-view lanai. This pool is a shared common area with two other houses on the property, providing a perfect spot for relaxation and rejuvenation while being tantalizingly close to the ocean's edge.

Luxury Accommodations:
Our 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom oceanfront beach house comfortably accommodates up to 8 guests. Step inside to discover a cozy and inviting living room with ample seating, a fully equipped kitchen ready for your culinary adventures, and spacious bedrooms furnished with supremely comfortable beds. The living room offers seating for 8, oceanfront dining for 6-8, and a generously appointed kitchen and pantry. With awe-inspiring ocean vistas, natural light fills the great room, creating a sense of boundless tranquility.

Convenience Meets Privacy:
Nestled in the heart of the charming old Kauai town of Kapa’a, you'll enjoy easy access to the island's best restaurants, shops, and attractions. Yet, the property maintains a tranquil privacy that allows you to unwind and enjoy quality time with your family.

- The primary bedroom features a king-size bed, a full bath, and a jacuzzi tub.
- The 2nd bedroom offers a queen-size bed with an attached full bath.
- The 3rd bedroom has two twin-size beds that can be combined into a king-size bed.
- The living room includes a queen-size pull-out bed and space to set up an additional blow-up mattress if needed.

Modern Comforts and Amenities:
The Moana Kai Beach House is equipped with all the modern conveniences to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. Stay connected with high-speed WiFi, unwind with Smart TVs, and take care of laundry with a washer and dryer. There are two parking spaces available in the carport and additional street parking for your convenience.

Exploring the Island:
Our retreat is nestled in a tranquil neighborhood, with Waipouli Beach mere steps from your doorstep. For those who love outdoor activities, the property is situated at the start of the 6-mile-long Kapaa multi-use bike/walk/jog path. Whether you choose to explore or simply relax, the sound of the waves will serenade you.

Central Island Location:
You'll find yourself just a short drive from the Kauai Village Shopping Center, pristine beaches, eclectic boutiques, and the diverse culinary delights of Kapa’a. Must-visit attractions like Lydgate State Beach Park, Fern Grotto, Kamalani Playground, and Wailua Golf Course are easily accessible.

Adventure Awaits:
For the adventurous spirits, consider renting a kayak and paddling up the Wailua River, where you'll encounter breathtaking scenery and discover one of Kauai's hidden waterfalls. This central island location offers unparalleled access to the best Kauai has to offer.

Your journey at the Moana Kai Beach House is more than a vacation; it's an invitation to embrace the beauty and tranquility of Kauai. We look forward to hosting you and creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Fantastic Stay for First Time in Kauai

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.

Perfect location in Kapa'a

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.

Beautiful setting convenient to beaches, restaurants and shops

This beautiful home with an ocean view and shared swimming pool met all of the needs of our six person, three generation family (ages 3-72). The eastside location was convenient for travel to the north shore and Waimea Canyon. We enjoyed walking to beaches, restaurants, and shops. We couldn't have imagined a better property for our visit to Kaua'i.

Family beach vacation

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.

Great vacation rental

Good location, right on the beach. Pool is shared between 3 houses, but not busy. Hot tub was not working when we were there, but wasn’t a necessity. Booking was straightforward, check-in and check-out were simple. House has all the amenities we needed including water toys, grill, full kitchen that was well stocked. Would stay again.

Great Location & Amenities

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!

Spectacular!

Property is just as pictured! It is spacious and well appointed. Special details were thought out and appreciated. The property is perfectly located along the coconut coast trail and we were able to use two bikes on this beautiful trail provided by Brenda. Any questions or issues were quickly resolved. My daughter enjoyed the pool, while i enjoyed the hot tub. We really enjoyed our stay here!

Relaxing family vacation

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.

Look no further…

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!

Overall a good place to stay

This house is located on the east part of the island, which makes it a grate location if you are wanting to visit different parts of the island. It felt very central and made it easy to visit the north and south parts of the island. The property manager, Brenda, is also very friendly and brought us donuts from her bakery one morning. The only issues we had when staying here were the fact that one of the showers was not usable for the first couple of days. They notified us the day before that it was being worked on and may not be fixed before our stay. They got it fixed fairly quickly, but communication throughout that process was pretty poor. Additionally, a few things to be aware of when booking this property, 2 of the 3 pool chairs are broken and unusable. There is also a chance you may find some cockroaches in the house. We encountered 3 or 4 throughout our stay, but Brenda brought us some roach houses to put out. Overall, we had a fantastic stay here. The views made up for any issues we had there and we loved hanging with the chickens in the yard!

Beach House with access to everything

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!
