The room was warm and muggy ẅhen we arrived. The unit has two a/c units. The master bedroom unit worked well, but the living room unit seemed to struggle to cool and it would turn off before the room was cooled to the set tempetaure. The second bedroom didn't cool, we had to set up two fans to blow cool air toward that bedroom. The unit and some bedding (quilts) had an odd smell. It only had one beach chair. The beach was very close (30 yards], that was nice. The outside a/c unit is located on the small patio, the warm exhaust from that blows on you when sitting on the patio, ouch! We enjoyed our stay, but I would stay elsewhere the next time i return to Hawaii.

Great property and location

Our family stayed here on our visit. The location is perfect. You can walk to town if needed, close to restaurants, bakery, etc. The little beach in front of the property is often empty. It feels like you have your own private piece of paradise. The bike/walking path is fabulous! There’s a bike rental place nearby and my teens loved riding along this pathway. The condo is clean and well stocked with dishes and pans. There’s also pool towels and other beach items there to borrow. We had a hiccup at check-in and the owner called me back right away and fixed it promptly. We had a great time here and would highly recommend.

Perfect!

We sincerely loved our stay at Pono Kai. It was the perfect location and accommodation for our family. We loved being steps from the beach and enjoyed the spectacular sunrises most mornings. We loved the central location of Kapa’a, which made it easy to get to either side of the island without too much travel time. The condo was clean and comfortable, had AC and many fans to keep us cool, and had spectacular views of the ocean. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone!

We have enjoyed staying in this unit many times. Being ground floor and steps from the beach make for a picture perfect vacation. We also like being right in the middle between North shore and South shore. The unit is equipped with everything you need for a day out snorkeling, boogie boarding or just lounging on the beach. If it’s raining or you’re too sunburn to go out, you’ll find lots of games to keep you entertained. We absolutely loved our stay and hope to come back again soon!

Ocean Front Paradise

Just as stated in the ad, right on the beach. Beautiful sunrises. Ad reads accurately. Had enough TP which was great. Only negative I felt was that there isn’t an air conditioner in the second bedroom and there wasn’t any coffee for the first morning. After a long flight, it would have been nice not to have to run out first thing in the morning to get coffee. ❤️

Clean and well stocked.

Overall, we were comfortable. Beds not great, but worked for a week. Could not get the TV and DVD to work in master bedroom. The coffee pot needed to be replaced during our stay…it was taken care of…not as quickly as we would have liked. The walls are thin and we could hear everything around us. The location is amazing. We loved being directly on the beach and near lots of restaurants. The walking path is amazing. Lots of resort facilities, but we didn’t partake.

3 Generation Family Vacation

The location of this condo is perfectly situated across the bike path from the beach. The sunrises were amazing from the lanai and even better from a beach chair on the beach. The grounds at Pono Kai were well-maintained with plenty of activities, green grass, beautiful flowers, and even banana trees. We enjoyed the basketball and pickleball courts, the exercise room, the pool/hot tub, and even bocce ball. The koi pond with waterfall was beautiful, also. Downtown Kapa'a was a very short walk to the north with several dining and shopping options. Groceries were a short drive to the south to Big Save or Safeway or Costco in Lihue. The Coconut Marketplace was a nice shopping area with the best ABC store on the island that we found. The condo was a little small for 6 adults, but it would've been comfortable with 5 adults. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed and more. The bathrooms were outdated with stains in the tub areas which surprised us a bit after it was updated in 2019. The 2nd bedroom does not have AC, so it did get warm even when the 1st bedroom did not shut the door at night and the 2 tower fans and ceiling fan were running. The condo has several items to use on the beach (chairs, towels, boogie boards, and snorkel gear) which made it a great vacation on the beach. The owner, representative, and Pono Kai staff were very attentive to our needs. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!! Mahalo!!!

Owner of this VRBO was very responsive. The Condo was clean, functional, and on the beach. Directions to the place and instructions to get a key were easy to follow. Kapa’a is perfectly touristy with lots of beaches, markets, stores, and places to rent bikes etc. Air conditioners worked. The condo is only 15-20 min from the airport, so total commute time was minimal. Overall this was a great trip for my group of 3 adults and one 13 year old boy.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this property at Pono Kai. The location of this property is why we continue to stay here. The condo was located right on the beach and close to the everything. The condo was furnished with everything we needed, including Morey Boogie Board and fins to use while visiting the beach. This was my first rental experience from a private owner and everything went pretty smoothly during check in. The only thing to keep in mind is that because the unit is privately owned, Pono Kai will not let you check out beach towels to use. However, the unit does have beach towels for the renters to use. The AC in the unit was fantastic and gave us wonderful relief from the heat during the warm days. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

This was our first time to Kauai as a family and were so relieved to find our condo was so centrally located, peaceful, well maintained and comfortable. We felt at home right when we walked in the door and loved all the amenities that the complex offered. To wake up to beautiful sunrises pretty much every morning was so special! Got an amazing view of the full moon as well! Great space for our family of four!

Great time at the Pono Kai Resort

Just imagine walking into your condo, pulling back the curtains from wall to wall and all you see beautiful palm trees and the ocean surf, this view will take your breath away. You could not ask for a better location. This condo is just steps from the beach and located 30 min from Poipu and Hanalei, what more can you ask for. We had a great time and would give it 10 stars. All the pictures are accurate in the listing.

Everything needed for a great stay.

This 2 bedroom/2 bath unit had everything we needed for our perfect stay. The kitchen is outfitted almost perfectly with even a hot pot to make tea water, crock pot. Our only suggestion would be for a pizza pan and cutter. (No big deal.). What really set this place apart from the rest is the full compliment of masks, fins, snorkel, 3 boogie boards, beach towels, beach mats, beach umbrella and even a beach chair. The location was excellent for a family with Mexican, Thai, Greek, Shave Ice, Smoothies, Cafes. All at reasonable prices. Best of all, this is a ground floor unit that opens to the lawn, bicycle path then beach. Sunrises were great! We hope to return next year.

Awesome place

We rented the place for a week. When we walked in, the place was absolutely gorgeous. The view was stunning. Extremely easy to check in. Two good size bedroom. Alice was always available to answer any questions that we might had. The place was as described on the website. The only down fall had nothing to do with the condo. The place is located on a resort and we tried to get some help from the concierge a few time however he was not really pleased or even friendly to us since it is a private own place on the resort. We did have access to the pool, hot tub, gym and activities on the resort. I would recommend the place to anyone who would like to have a beautiful view. Walking distance to downtown. For our group of people, the place was a 5 stars for sure.Thank you for the memories

Fantastic!

We loved our stay here. Located right in front of the beach and right next to some shops, restaurants, and food trucks. Bike/walk path steps from the patio door which lines Kapa’a. The beach in front of the condo is absolutely a fine beach. You’ll read some criticism about questionable characters, trash/debris, or rougher waves…but especially our last day the kids swam there, made sand castles, and I did collect a bag of debris (plastic parts from ocean debris) because we are visitors on this island! However, the beach is not “gross” or anything like that. Beautiful blue water. Host was very communicative. Pono Kai has a small pool and other activities…but it’s not a bustling resort feel which we preferred. Quiet and easy going. Great location too to explore the island. Closet had snorkel gear, beach towels, sand toys, umbrella and more. Great stay!!

Just Right

This was our third stay at Pono Kai and our favorite condo so far. We like to be oceanfront on the ground floor and this unit is just steps from the walking path and the ocean. We spent many hours enjoying the lanai and went for long walks on the path every day. Perfectly situated for watching the sunrise. The unit was clean and nicely furnished. We had everything we needed. The owner is friendly and easy to communicate with. We already booked our return trip next year.

Great location to explore the whole island.

This location is perfect for exploring both ends of the island. Easy drive to the north and while a little farther south it is still not a bad drive. The complex we stayed in was quiet and is located right next to a great walking biking path. While on our walks every morning we would see monk seals, and occasionally dolphins and many whales. Sunrises were amazing. There are many amenities such as: pool, exercise room, and two pickleball courts that were hardly used. You are within walking distance to many restaurants and shops. Although the laundry is not in the unit it is located just a few steps away. The host was easy to work with and very responsive. I would stay here again.

Pono Kai Stay

The unit is in a very convenient location with direct access to beach and easy walking distance to food/shopping. Plenty of trash bags, paper towels and toilet paper to last the entire week stay. Random condiments and pantry items left in kitchen (we did not use but someone may appreciate it). Beach equipment and beach towels available in unit. The grounds of the resort (Pono Kai) were great! Tons of games, walking paths, grills and fire pits. There was only one key for the unit which wasn’t a huge deal but there was another couple with us so we had to coordinate plans in order to keep unit locked. Condo was tidy and somewhat clean but could certainly use a deep clean. The bathtubs appeared to have not been scrubbed in a long time. Would not be comfortable putting a child in them to bathe. There are a ton of fans which we loved in the spare room with no A/C. Guest book with recommendations was a nice touch.
