Steps from the Sand

This property is located in the heart of Kapa’a. Central location is prefect for traveling around the island. Perfect location to walk to nearby shops and food. The path along the coast was perfect for morning walks. The property is very well maintained and has nice resort features.

Great location, great view, great accommodations

This condo had everything we needed for a comfortable family vacation! This is an amazing walking location plus in the middle of all the beaches & food we wanted to drive to. The house included many things for making our family (including a 1-year-old) comfortable --pack-n-play, towels, beach toys, etc. We would love to come back!

Amazing view and great location

We just finished an amazing week on Kauai at Pono Kai unit c209. The view was truly spectacular! The unit isn't fancy and new, but it was clean and very comfortable and the location and view couldn't be beat! We have visited Kauai many times and we will definitely return to Pono Kai.

Perfect for our family needs

This place was beautiful. The view was phenomenal. Right on the beach. There were so many activities in the complex. We loved all the chickens waking us up every morning. Loved cooking our shrimp and pineapple on the grill right outside the house.

Third or fourth time at this resort property although first time in this unit. Loved the top floor and corner unit. Loaded closets with tons of beach stuff like chairs and coolers and boogie boards and beach towels. Washer and dryer in unit a HUGE plus. AC was terrific for consistent and quiet sleeping. We love Kapaa because of location. Lots of kitchenware. Great knives! Good communication with owner. Property resort has lots of good amenities.

The view is the best part of the condo! Easy walking distance to town.

We really enjoyed our cozy condo. We wanted ocean front to enjoy your 20th anniversary. The kids enjoyed the pool every day. Easy check in and check out. The water toys were amazing, but watch out for jelly fish on the beach in front of the condo. Bring a tweezers and the condo had vinegar luckily. The stove could use an upgrade, that was our only complaint. Thank for the memories!

The PERFECT Spot!

Fantastic property with an unbeatable location. This was my family of four’s third trip to Kaua’i. This place was the best one yet! Steps to the beach, tons of stuff for the kids to do, walk to anywhere in Kapa’a town in minutes. The condo is laid out perfectly. Kids had their own bathroom (a huge plus with two teenage girls)! Great selection of beach toys, chairs, cooler, etc. I always prefer staying on the “east side”. Much more local feel than Poipu or Princeville. Mahalo for a great stay. It was really hard to leave!

Loved being right on the ocean

I loved that the ocean was right out your door. The winds made it so that you didn't need air conditioning. Everything was close by, shopping, attractions, The Smith Family luau came and picked us up in a shuttle and took us back to the condo. I loved having a washer and dryer to use. They had chairs to use at the beach, and in the lobby we were able to rent snorkeling gear. We rented bikes right next to the condo. Restaurants were in walking distance. I also loved the fact that not only did the living room have views of the ocean but so did the bedroom. I would stay here again.

Incredible view and location

This unit totally exceeded our expectations! The views, especially the sunrises were spectacular. The pool and hot tub was so convenient and enjoyable. We also made good use of the available games equipment. We played table tennis, croquet, corn hole and jenga. That equipment was unexpected but really appreciated. The in-unit laundry was a real treat. It was so nice to be able to do laundry while visiting in the evening instead of having to go the laundry room. We will definitely come back here!

GREAT location, Beachfront perfection

We so enjoyed our weeklong stay at Pono Kai! This condo was the perfect spot, easy access to other island hot spots, steps away from a quiet beach, and pool. we loved waking to the beach breeze and sunrise views from bed each morning, spent hours on the lanai. Great condo for families! We had our 6.5 year old with us, condo is well stocked- even with beach toys, chairs, coolers, ect. Very clean. Nice to have the master wing w separate bathroom. Downstairs unit is a timeshare- we met a lovely family w similar aged kiddo, very fun for them to play together. We’ll be back to Kauai for sure, and will check availability of this condo first!

Great Vacation Week!

We had a great time in C209. The property had everything we needed. The view was beautiful and the property was close to everything we signed up for during our stay. Aside from rust here and there, due to the salt water, everything was well groomed. The full refrigerator may need to be looked at for leaks, but still worked to store our food. The resort was beautifully manicured and had several activities that were fun for the family when we needed a break from the beach. The pool, ping pong, and volleyball net were great additional activities for our family. Also, the washer and dryer accessibility in the unit was also a great supplement. Lastly, the balcony view was peaceful and a great place to take in the views.
