Not workingWe had no Airconditioning for 5 days of our stay☀️ Very uncomfortable☀️ Property manager made excuses for the air conditioner not working properly☀️ She should not be a property manager. I can’t recommend this place to stay!!!

My family and I were here to celebrate my 50th birthday and we had the best time! The condo was everything we wanted and needed. It was clean, modern, comfortable and welcoming. The location is perfect for exploring the island and the views are top notch. We enjoyed watching the sunrise from the lanai every morning of our stay. Would 100% come back to this property.

Bed needs to be replaced 5 years ago. Needs more toilet
paper for 8 days and more than one small motel soap.
other than that, the place well stocked and in good shape
and beach front. The housekeeper was very good if you had a problem.

The unit is fantastic with everything you could need for an enjoyable stay. Has all the kitchen appliances, two snorkel sets, beach chairs, cooler, etc. The property is great as well, with pool, jacuzzi, and lots of activities. The ONLY complaint about this unit was the mattress was so stiff that it didn’t afford a comfortable sleep any of the nights.

We had such an amazing long stay at the condo. The condo has everything you could imagine. Beach chairs, floats, boards, bikes, it really had it all! The kitchen has plenty of great pots and pans as well as other awesome utensils. We would absolutely stay here again.

Loved how spread out the resort was, not cramped like other resorts. Condo is ocean front with great views! Kitchen was very well stocked and we used the cooler and beach equipment almost every day so a great bonus. Great walking path in front of unit and plenty of parking. We would stay here again!

Lovely place that is nicely decorated and very clean. Loved the ocean view and beach access right across the lawn. Nice to be so close to Kapaa town for convenient access to shops and restaurants. We would definitely stay again.

Absolutely beautiful condo. The owners did a fantastic job decorating!!! Ground floor, just steps to the ocean. So many shops and restaurants to walk to, and the bike path right in front. The owners outdid themselves with stocking the unit with so many wonderful extras. You felt the essence of aloha as soon as you entered. Only 2 things would have made it 110%, did not state that the washer and dryer were coin operated, and around the corner from the unit. And would have liked the guest room to have a queen size bed instead of a full. With 2 grown adults sharing is a bit tight. We used the sofa bed, which was very comfortable!
Would stay here again!

We had an absolutely delightful stay at Bryan's property! From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The house was impeccably clean and well-maintained, which immediately set the tone for a comfortable stay. Every room was equipped with air conditioning, ensuring a cool and pleasant environment throughout our visit.
One of the highlights was undoubtedly the range of amenities available. The swimming pool was a fantastic spot to relax and cool off, while the table tennis and mini golf provided endless entertainment for the family. We were also thrilled with the direct access to the beach, which was a wonderful bonus. The convenience of being just steps away from the shore allowed us to enjoy spontaneous beach outings and breathtaking ocean views.
Our mornings were particularly special, thanks to the charming patio area. We loved starting our days with breakfast outside, soaking in the serene surroundings and fresh air. It was a perfect setting to unwind and savor our meals.
Overall, Bryan's attention to detail and thoughtful hospitality made our stay truly memorable. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and look forward to returning in the future.

We had a great time at this condo! My new husband and I wanted a quieter, non-resort type place to stay for our honeymoon and Pono Kai checked all of our boxes. The condo was perfectly stocked with kitchen, bathroom and bedroom amenities and we were so grateful there were some beach toys available for use as well! We loved the decorations and CDs of Hawaiian musicians to listen to while cooking dinner. We loved being able to sit on the patio right next to the beach, sit in the hammocks on the property, and use the pool/spa. We would absolutely come back here for a future vacation!

The best feature of this rental was definitely the location. Both the site of the condo by the seas with great views, but also on the island itself as it was well positioned for many of the activities.
Comms were great and check-in was smooth.
The condo was decorated / equipped in a basic style which was no problem for us as we stayed for only 3 days. May have had a different view if we were there long term.
If I could make one suggestion to the owners it would be to review the cleaning arrangements. Cleanliness was just ok and I think the overall unit would benefit from a deep clean. Just a suggestion.
We enjoyed our stay and loved the island.

This condo was absolutely incredible; extremely clean, spacious and peaceful. The hosts, Shirley and Tony, are the best! Their communication with us was exceptional, and they were responsive to anything we might have needed. Located on the 2nd floor, the condo is only 100 feet from the ocean, and has a fantastic ocean view from the kitchen, living room and balcony. It was wonderful to be able to hear the gentle ocean waves. The unit was tastefully decorated, and all of the furniture was very comfortable, including the bed. The full-size kitchen has high-quality appliances and was very well stocked with everything we needed to prepare food and drinks. We really appreciated the A/C in the living room and bedroom. The building has an elevator which was very convenient. There were plenty of toiletries and everything you need for the beach including beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, beach towels, etc. Kapaa was the perfect middle ground town with only a 20-30 minute drive to the north and south shores of the island. We will definitely stay at Shirley and Tony’s condo again the next time we visit Kauai.

We really enjoyed Pono Kai Resort...the property is beautiful and this unit has a spectacular view of the ocean with beautiful sunrises every day. The staff is very friendly here, maintenance around the property is very good and this unit is well stocked with everything you will need. We plan to return to this unit again...and we have been to Kauai many times... Mahalo!

We felt like "VIPs" as my granddaughter said. It is fresh & beautiful with a beachy vibe and spectacular views of the ocean. This was our second trip to Kauai, but the absolute best time because we were so comfortable in our home away from home! Kapaa is a perfect location & we went all over the island easily. So grateful for this place & its owners!

We spent 3 nights at Pono Kai resort during our recent visit to Kauai. We enjoyed the ocean front location, exploring to local beachfront and proximity to Princeville for a day trip.
The unit was exactly as advertised, well equipped and even included beach items (beach chairs, umbrellas, snorkel gear and ice chest) for our use.
We recommend this place!

This property was not updated and the condo smelled like old 90’s apartment. The sheets felt like cardboard and it had not been dusted for a bit when we settled in. The kitchen did not have all of the materials needed and tools. The online listing said laundry in facilities but it’s not in the condos it’s coin operated. The grounds are exceptional and had plumeria trees, pickle ball, giant chess, games and hot tub. Location splits the island in half for driving to Hanalei and Poipu. Close to the best shave ice on the island. It’s just very old for how much it cost.

This was a nice property with an incredible view. The amenities were also nice. I had concerns about the location based on other reviews which talked about homelessness and addicts on property. We did not have any concerns with this during our visit. The area was very safe and well kept. Furnishings and decor are dated, but well kept up... It felt like home.

Nice stay round the clock security kept me from trying to smoke cugars on the balcony. Its ok i just walked 100 yards to the mostly vacant beach and watched the surf. Housekeeping came every other day. You can rent snorkeling and beach related items by the office. Good food trucks and restaurants near. Shops where i bought gifts for the family. My unit had a full kitchen and a view of the koapond.

Excellent all around. The B101 is ideally suited for both beach and access to Kapa'a town. The unit is well made, very well laid out, comfortable, and convenient to the parking area. WiFi access was easy. It had all the amenities one would expect, was very clean and well cared for. Hard to beat combination. Garden Island properties bent over backwards to make sure everything we needed was available to us. I would recommend this unit for vacation anytime!

This property is exactly as advertised-- we chose it because it has proper beds for more people than any other Pono Kai property we could find, and were not disappointed. The proximity to the ocean and to town, the sunrises, the full kitchen, 2 baths, a/c--all as advertised. That having been said, there are a couple of things people should know, especially if you are travelling with more than four people.
*The bedrooms are distinctly different! The master is a HUGE space, including ocean views, and it's own mini-split for A/C. The second king barely fits into the back bedroom; it is immediately by the main door, and that room has no a/c. It was very challenging to get a cross breeze, even with the supplied fans, and the windows open directly onto the exterior walkway. It is not a good room for folks who need cold and quiet, but it it much darker. The mattresses on these beds are also very soft. (The loft has its own a/c, which was great for the kids.)
*There are two bathrooms--one in the hallway across from the main door, and one through the master bedroom and around a corner. We didn't mind having the master bedroom open all the time for others to use the bathroom, but everyone might not appreciate that.
One other note is that the kitchen is will-equipped, and there are even a random assortment of dry goods left from previous visitors, so check the cabinets before you go shopping.
Betsy was super-responsive on the one small issue we had.

Wonderful property with great central location for activities. Also very walkable to bars, restaurants and food trucks. Hosts were immediately available for questions and unit was equipped with anything you might need. Would recommend to anyone traveling to Kauai. Finally, the view of the sunrise from the lanai each morning was breathtaking.

We had a great stay in this condo! Communication through Kauai Vacation Rentals was clear throughout the booking and payment process. Check in was easy. Condo was clean and beds were very comfortable. View was amazing! Location, steps from the beach and walking path along the shore was perfect for daily sunrise watching. A/C was nice to have, but not needed much due to island breeze. Appreciated beach chairs, cooler, and boogie boards in the unit!
