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!

Clean, comfortable, and great location

This clean and comfortable condo is in a great location with beautiful ocean views. Being located on the east side of Kauai gave us a good location for exploring the other regions easily. The listing and photos are an accurate depiction. While we didn't need the air conditioning most of the time, it was very nice to have. The complex has great amenities and is about a 20-minute drive to the airport. Alice was a great host. She was very responsive. I would highly recommend this rental home.

Wonderful condo by the water

Very nice condo, kitchen had more than enough supplies as well as outdoor equipment for sitting ocean side. However, only reason not five stars is the bed on one side is pretty sunken. Perhaps flip mattress? We have stayed at pono Kai several times snd really enjoy closeness to town, and relaxed atmosphere of the area. Maholo

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.

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. ❤️

Excellent Experience

The grounds were clean and well maintained. The staff was very nice and the check-in and check-out was easy. The unit had more amenities than I had anticipated. This was within easy walking distance of Kapaa. After having stayed at other places on the island, I was very pleased with the location. It was close to town but the grounds give a sense of being further away.

Beautiful Property in great location

The condo is located on the east central coastline, PERFECT for launching to any destination in Kauai. Room was clean and has all amenities you'd need for 2 people. You can walk out back porch to a great shoreline/beach or get in your car and go see it all. 15 minutes away from Lihue Airport. Highly recommend this property. If Air Conditioning is a concern for you, you'll be happy with this condo.

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!!!

Great Location, a little dated

The good....Overall, this was a great option for my family. The ground floor unit makes it easy for the kids to access the beach and the grounds. The central location made it convenient to drive to everywhere on the island from the north (Princeville) to the south (Eleele). Love being able to walk to restaurants and shops that didn't feel super touristy. The AC works great too. Now for the not so great. The unit is a bit old and dated, especially the bathrooms. There's also a musty smell in the unit. Had to kill a couple of cockroaches in the kitchen, despite being very careful not to leave food out and to wipe up crumbs. The grounds seem well maintained, though the buildings are looking tired. Despite all of that, I'd say the unit is still a good value given the location.

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!

Great location !!!

Property grounds were great. We had beach front unit, ground level D-102. When booking I noticed the listing stated Fully renovated in 2019. The unit did not appear to be renovated especially shower/tub unit. This was not a tub I would have placed a child in for a bath. Unit seemed clean with a musty smell. Size was adequate for four adults.

Location and view

Our group of four had plans all over the island. The location of this unit was convenient for us to drive to either end of the island and to the grocery store quickly of needed. The condos location to downtown kapaa also allowed for us to walk to restaurants and shops on main street. The actual property that the condo is on was immaculate and just a few steps from the beach. The beacb was quiet and had very few people on it so it felt luxurious. The hot tub was the only facility we used and it was very clean, as were the main office and grounds. The actual unit was clean and habing a second bathroom was something we were looking fkr but proved to be an added bonus. We spent the majority of our time, when at the unit on the beach or sotting in the lanai enjoying the smell of paradise and the un obstructed views of the ocean. This location also provided a place to observe amazing sunrises.

Nice Location

We had a ground floor oceanfront unit. We were about twenty yards distance from the beach. I didn't realize that the spray from the ocean necessitated wiping the windows of the lanai door clean a few times each week. The unit was comfortable. Previous occupants left behind little things in the kitchen. They must have half a dozen salt and pepper shakers. No complaints. Close to groceries, gas stations, restaurants and shopping. There even ss an ABC store about two blocks away. I would rent the unit again.
