About this property

NEW Top-Floor Oceanfront Studio in Kapaa's Niihau Building

  • Summary:

    Straight-ahead Pacific views are the reward for choosing this top-floor studio in Islander on the Beach's oceanfront Niihau Building. Two beds sleep up to three guests, and the 372-square-foot space has air conditioning, a kitchenette, and a private lanai for breakfast while the waves are doing their thing. The beach, resort pool, and hot tub are close enough that an unplanned swim can be the whole plan. Coconut Marketplace is an easy walk for coffee, gifts, and an uncomplicated meal. Later, head toward Wailua for river scenery or stay local for a coastal-path walk and a Kapaa dinner. It is a natural choice for a couple, a mother and child, or three friends who want a true oceanfront setting without giving up the useful parts of town.



    The Space:

    Set on the top floor of the oceanfront Niihau Building, this 372-square-foot studio keeps the Pacific front and center. Two beds sleep up to three, while the private lanai gives you a front-row place for coffee and the sound of waves. The kitchenette includes a sink, microwave, mini fridge, and coffee maker, and air conditioning helps the space stay comfortable.



    Guest Access:

    Guests at Islander on the Beach have access to the shared outdoor pool, hot tub, BBQ grill area, and beach access. The resort grounds provide easy outdoor space to relax between beach outings.



    The Neighborhood:

    The Niihau Building's oceanfront position puts beach time right into the daily rhythm, while Coconut Marketplace is an easy walk for breakfast, local gifts, groceries, and casual food. Follow the Ke Ala Hele Makalae coastal path when you want a longer oceanfront walk or a bike ride. A short drive brings you to Wailua River for kayaking or to Kapaa town for bakeries and locally owned restaurants. This part of the Coconut Coast works especially well when the group wants a mix of beach, food, and a little exploring without a long drive.



    Getting Around:

    Kapaa sits along Kauai's Royal Coconut Coast, about 15 to 20 minutes from Lihue Airport. A rental car is recommended for exploring the island, though the main strip along Kuhio Highway is walkable, with beaches, shops, restaurants, and the popular coastal path all within easy reach on foot. Grocery stores and casual dining are close by. Parking is generally available at condos and along the street, making this an easy, low stress base.



    Other Things to Note:

    This property is managed by Heavenly Vacations.

For our age, retired, we just wanted quiet, relaxing time. This was just what we needed. This was our fourth year in a row in Kauai. We'll be back next year.

Amazing

The apartment's prime location by the ocean and proximity to restaurants and stores are its standout features. However, cleanliness was an issue as I observed numerous hairs on the floor. The Vacasa team's prompt response and willingness to rectify the situation showcased their commitment to customer satisfaction. They truly excel in their service.

Islander on the beach 353

It would be nice to have bar height table and chairs for the lanai so the rail isn't always in your view. It would be nice to have other hooks and towel rods in the bathroom. Then vent/fan in the bathroom is really loud. Would be nice to turn the light on in the bathroom and not the fan.Need more outlets in the room. The extension cord outlets were very loose and hard to get to. The lanai door was very hard to open and the handle is loose. The view was beautiful from the lanai. Great location. We had to deal with smokers in 354 even though there are signs and you sign a contract saying no smoking on grounds. Front desk was of no help.

Needs cleaning

The Islander is in a good location and it has a laid back vibe. I'm familiar with the property so I knew what to expect of the location and amenities (thumbs up for those). This unit; however, needs some serious cleaning attention. Upon check in, the bathroom sink was clogged, there were spiders at the ceiling corner above the front door (in the room), the bathroom door had dirty handprints along the edges, there are tiny sand-colored ants that make their way to the dining table, and there is mold on the framed photos, portions of the walls, and on the drapes to the sliding glass doors. Maintenance was able to clean away the spiders and unclog the sink (turns out the pipe was filled with sand from prior guests). But, these are things that should be noticed and taken care of by house keeping during cleaning. I will stay at the Islander again, but not likely in this unit.

We loved being right on the beach; lovely welcome by the host with hawaiian music, air con on and local goodies. Very comfortable bed and a great location on the island. Parking was really easy too. Highly recommend staying here.
