Additional Information:
Hawaii’s tropical climate is home to a variety of native insects and island pests. While we take steps to minimize their presence, occasional sightings may occur. These insects are a natural part of Hawaii’s ecosystem, and their presence does not constitute a breach of contract or entitle guests to a refund. They are generally not harmful, and we strive to ensure your comfort. We appreciate your understanding and hope you enjoy your stay in our beautiful tropical paradise!

Great location!

We had a great stay at this property and it served as a terrific home base for exploring all over the island. It is a very short walk to the shops and restaurants in Kapa’a. It is an easy drive to the north or south shores. It is right on the bike path for walking, running, or biking. Perfect for what we needed!

We loved this location- cute town- and right in the middle of everything. Loved waking up and watching the sunrise. Right on the boardwalk- and beach- although we drove to other beaches for the day- it was nice having the option of it right here. Would definitely stay again!

Nice Condo - Nice Location

The condo is a bit dated, but was clean and comfortable. My family had a good time and were happy with the condo. The location right on the ocean was fabulous. And, it is just a block and a half from most of Kapa'a town, which was super convenient. Do note, the reference to three beds includes a sofa bed in the living room.

Great Condo!

We were very happy with our choice to stay at Pono Kai C101. Property was clean, well decorated and furnished with about everything you could think of you might need. We didn't really cook much but everything was there if we had wanted to. Amazing sunrises and a bike path just in front of the condo. Easy walk to restaurants and shopping. Book this with confidence.
