ON THE BEACH! SPECTACULAR OCEANFRONT HOME!

We were expecting a decent little studio. What we opened the door to was an expansive studio with wall to wall grand windows, an extra bedroom, TWO bathrooms (bath and half), and the most incredible views/sights/sounds I've ever experienced. And I've LIVED on an island before.

This place was so cool that I want to be first in line if Peter and his wife ever sell fractions or condo it out. Gorgeous and perfectly located for hiking(trail from beach), nature preserve (moloaa), farmers market(tues/sun), snorkeling the north bays, paddleboarding/surfing(did both), slack key guitar concert at the community center (old hawaii at its best), kapaa civilization only 15mins away (safeway, long drugs, etc).

And now the good part....sunrises thru the bedroom window, the ocean waves all night long, coffee down the steps and on the beach, complete privacy morning noon and night, the rooftop lanai for dinner, the rooftop lanai for stargazing (never SEEN so many stars!), the rooftop lanai for sunbathing, the rooftop lanai for anything you want if you stay below the 3 foot wall ! At Moloaa you can have a morning/evening swim on the right and left sides. It's centrally located to everything east/north shores...the funnest part of the island.

It was clean and neat. The property mgr stopped by to ask if all was good for us and he was a hoot and wealth of info. The ONLY con was the shower is handheld - but i understand that is going to offered with a wall clip soon also. We didn't mind at all. Owners left the kauai blue book which was a GREAT guide to us...Very helpful. Peter's email of directions also included many island contacts in his network that offered many things to do and see.

If I stay with this g/f, it will be hard to have a honeymoon that outdoes this dream vacation...but i'm certain it would start with Peter's place once again.

Thanks and cannot say enough good things about it. What a wonderful relaxing and mezmerizing time/place/week.

We took the whole house and fit 2 families-- 4 adults and 5 children (one small child slept on a couch)—and had plenty of space for everyone. The location is fantastic—right on the water, so you feel like it's a private beach—and it's on the northeastern part of the island, so it's a good home base if you want to do activities on the east side as well as the north. Kitchen is one of the best equipped I've had in a house rental—it feels more like being in a home exchange, with everything from a blender to baking pans and measuring cups. The other commenters talk about the amazing roof deck and I have to mention it as well—the roof is huge, with a very nice teak table and chairs, plus a sitting area with a bench and chairs. We ate many meals up there and spent nights stargazing.
The place was very clean and well-maintained, with lots of friendly touches like a half-dozen guide books, tons of beach towels, plus a well-stocked beach closet (boogie boards, beach chairs, snorkeling equipment). We had one dishwasher that didn't work, but Peter and Sharon were very responsive and sent the caretaker over right away to fix it.
In case it's not clear from the description, there are one and a half baths on each side, for a total of 2 full baths and two half baths. The full baths have jacuzzi tubs with a European-style hand-held shower pull-out instead of a wall-mounted shower. There is also an outdoor shower, which is really useful for rinsing off sand.
We would definitely stay here again—it's a true find.

My family and I stayed here last summer and had a wonderful time. The house is about as close to being in the ocean as you can get. It is on the most beautiful, picturesque beach imaginable and the entire front of the house has windows overlooking the water. When you have breakfast, at the windows, the sun rises right over the bay and it is breathtaking. We had both sides of the house to ourselves and easily fit 15 of us (a handful were small children). I would definelty stay here again!
