Top neighborhoods in Kapaa

Wailua Falls, Kauai, Hawaii

Waipouli

Waipouli's golden beaches and lush resort landscapes create the perfect backdrop for your Kauai getaway. Stroll along the shore at Waipouli Beach or snorkel in the protected lava rock pools at Lydgate Park. The nearby Coconut Marketplace offers local shopping, while the Wailua River mouth provides a scenic spot where fresh water meets the Pacific. Oceanfront restaurants serve fresh poke and Pacific Rim fusion with sunset views worth reserving ahead for. Choose from beachfront condos or resort accommodations with full kitchens and lanais. A rental car is essential for exploring beyond this walkable resort area, though local beaches are just steps away.

The Nounou Mountain or Sleeping Giant (looks like a giant laying on his back) offers the best views of the East coastline. For the daring, climb to the top of the nose and gander at the 360 degree views of Kapa'a. This image is from inside the nose, a wind tunnel and great place to rest. By far the best hike on Kauai thus far. #takeahike

Sleeping Giant Trailhead featuring general coastal views

Wailua House Lots

This residential slice of Kauai offers the antidote to resort tourism—real Hawaiian living among lush gardens and single-story homes. Wailua House Lots puts you minutes from Wailua Beach and the stunning Sleeping Giant Trailhead. The neighborhood hums with morning roosters and afternoon trade winds rather than tourist chatter. Your rental home here serves as the perfect launching pad for island adventures. Most visitors grab a rental car to explore nearby Wailua River kayaking or drive 10 minutes to restaurants in Kapaa. Private pools and full kitchens make these accommodations both comfortable and budget-friendly compared to beachfront alternatives.

Front row seat

Waipouli Beach

4.6/5 (44 reviews)
If being by the water is a major draw, Waipouli Beach is a spot you might want to check out, located 0.7 mi (1.1 km) from central Wailua. Catch the sunset by the shore at Lae Nani Beach, just a short walk away.

Wailua Falls

4.5/5 (1,156 reviews)
Wailua Falls is 4.8 mi (7.8 km) from central Kapaa, why not stop by during your stay. Why not take a stroll along the beaches and watch the sunset while you're here? Want to stretch your legs some more? Head to Smith's Tropical Paradise and Kapa'a Beach Park, both nearby.

Learn more about Kapaa

Kayak the Wailua River where hidden waterfalls reward those willing to paddle beyond the tour boats. The Coconut Marketplace offers local crafts that somehow avoid tourist-trap territory, while food trucks serve poke that makes mainland versions seem like sad imitations. Ke Ala Hele Makalae path hugs the coastline, revealing secret coves where monk seals occasionally sunbathe with impressive indifference. Kealia Beach attracts surfers who've escaped Oahu's crowds, while Fuji Beach (locals call it 'Baby Beach') offers protected swimming when winter swells pound the shore. Ho'opi'i Falls requires a muddy hike that keeps away the flip-flop crowd, delivering twin cascades that look suspiciously like movie backdrops – because they are, having appeared in countless films.

The ISO by Castle

The ISO by Castle

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely beautiful—period. I would definitely stay here again. Iso Castle offers a peaceful, beach-cabin–like experience that is all about location, quiet, and natural beauty. We stayed in December and loved falling asleep to the sound of waves crashing and waking up every morning to a stunning sunrise over the ocean. The views are truly unforgettable. This is not a luxury or fancy property, and that’s part of its charm. Don’t expect a kitchen—there isn’t one—but there is a fridge, and everything was very clean and well maintained. The balcony experience was a highlight for us and added so much to the stay. I highly recommend booking a premium oceanfront room if possible. Rooms 233 and 234 are exceptional. A couple of practical notes: there is no elevator, so be prepared to carry your luggage up the stairs. The only downside was the service from one staff member at reception on Christmas Day 2024. She seemed quite grumpy and unhelpful, particularly when we asked to have our towels replaced, which was disappointing given an otherwise lovely stay. Overall, Iso Castle is a beautiful, quiet oceanfront retreat. If you value views, serenity, and a relaxed beach atmosphere, this place is well worth it. "
