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

Set along the shores of Waipouli Beach in charming Kapaʻa, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath beachfront home offers the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, natural beauty, and convenient access to some of Kauaʻi’s best beaches, restaurants, shops, and island adventures.

    From the moment you arrive, you’ll be welcomed by the sound of the waves, refreshing ocean breezes, and sweeping views of the Pacific. Whether you’re sipping island-grown coffee on the lanai at sunrise, relaxing after a day of exploring, or gathering with family and friends for a memorable meal, Moana Kai Beach House invites you to slow down and enjoy the magic of Kauaʻi.

    During the winter months, the lanai is also a wonderful place to watch for passing whales. Year-round, the sound of the ocean provides a calming backdrop to your stay.

    Shared Poolside Paradise

    Guests can enjoy a beautiful swimming pool with a cascading waterfall located just steps from the lanai. The pool is a shared common area with two other homes on the property, offering a relaxing place to cool off, unwind, and enjoy the tropical setting while remaining close to the ocean’s edge.

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.
Beautiful view from the home.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
