This condo in Kapa’a is pretty nice. We stayed for four nights and picked it because it was an easy drive from the airport after a long day of traveling. It’s well stocked: good kitchen supplies (no toaster but we baked toast in the oven), beach towels, a couple beach chairs, soaps, shampoo and extra toothbrushes, etc. There’s a nice beach to sit on, but not walk or swim (at least while we were there in winter). There’s also a bike/run path that goes for miles and a gorgeous place to watch the sunrise. Easy access to both north and south shore sites about 30 minutes away. Good WiFi, coffee, great shave ice and grocery store right across the street. Like everywhere on kauai there are lots of chickens so bring ear plugs. They don’t just crow at sunrise!
The one negative was getting in. Vrbo sent the apartment number to email but it didn’t update in the app. I called the property manager and she got us the apartment number about 20 min later and we still had a hard time finding it. The numbers are really hard to see at night so we were basically going right up to people’s apartments to find the number at 11pm at night, noticing people lived there and sheepishly walking away. It’s a good thing we texted her because the app and email did not have the door lock code. On our first day of visiting we also could not figure out how to lock the door from the outside and had to contact the property manager again. You have to lock the door with the inside knob and then pull it closed. Two small things that added a lot of stress and could be solved with a couple of lines in the email/app. Otherwise good trip.
