As advertised. Clean quiet nicely decorated. Good kitchen. Right on ocean. Great stay.

Great place. The resort has everything you need. The location is excellent. Beach walk right out front. We rented bikes and rode the most scenic paved Kauai trail (14km) past Keālia beach. We could walk to restaurants and enjoyed the food trucks nearby. If you wanted to cook, the kitchen was fully equipped and had common condiments. We hope to come again soon. Thanks so much.

We enjoyed our stay in this private unit at the Pono Kai. This first floor unit has everything from an ocean view to just about any kitchen tool required to make any meal.

6 adult family members had a wonderful Christmas getaway to this lovely beachfront condo. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook with, loved morning coffee on the Lanai, AC was quiet but powerful. Very clean.

Condo was amazing! Right on the water, you can hear the waves!! This condo was stocked with everything you could ever need for an amazing Hawaiian vacation. So nice inside the condo, very clean, nice furniture and very comfortable beds!! Will definitely stay here again. Easy access to north and south side of the island. Great shops and restaurants very close to resort too! Bike path is so nice to ride for a short or long ride!

This property was just ok, everything a little old. The location was fantastic, close to down town Kapaa. Walking trail right outside the door. Good for island exploration and close to the airport. Just remember the traffic is tough, use an audio book or great tunes. IT’s Hawaii relax, it all good.

Everything was good, clean and well stocked and comfortable. The unit could use some maintenance, one of the cabinets in the kitchen has tape holding on the veneer on one of the doors, the sliding glass door was hard to open and close. Even with these things we would definitely stay here again.

Reviewer Comments:
It was a great condo for my family of 4. My two young daughters shared a queen(twin beds would have been better). It was so nice being on the ground level and walking up to walk on the beach at sunrise. (Beach was not swimmable for young ones). Being on the bike trail was great too. It was nice to go for a jog or walking to restaurants, food trucks, coffee. It was centrally located which made exploring the island easier. Snorkel rentals on site. The only negative was not having a washer and dryer in the unit(from a mother's perspective, it makes the trip more difficult). There is a laundry mat, but we didn't use it.

This place was perfect for our family of 4. The condo was very spacious and was bigger than expected. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was perfect for making meals at home. The view was amazing and sunrises sublime. The location was great if you plan to visit both south and north sides so that you are located in between. The Pono Kai resort was good. Amenities were adequate. You have go to the front desk to check out things like ping pong paddles, croquet set, etc and they close at 6 so we had wished that it was possible to do some of these things after 6. That was our only comment but it is no fault of the condo owner, just an odd resort policy. The resort and grounds were nicely kept. We would stay here again. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Comfy, clean condo in a resort complex with much on offer! Roll out the front door and down the stairs and you are steps from the sand and good swimming or from strolling and exploring oh-so-Kauai Kapa'a town. And, lots of beach gear in the closet to use!

Super clean, air conditioned unit. No in-unit laundry, but the building laundry room is just steps away. Only downsides were that the upstairs neighbors fed the chickens (which led to a gross lanai) and seemed to hold square dancing competitions at odd hours.

Our stay at this condo was absolutely wonderful! The location couldn’t be better—right next to a stunning ocean beach, offering breathtaking views and easy access. The condo was well-equipped with a fully stocked kitchen, making it convenient to prepare meals. It truly felt like a home away from home. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and can’t wait to return!

Great stay at this property, location is perfect, sleeping to the sound of the waves with shops and restaurants just around the corner. The coastal path is also great for long walks. The unit was very clean and spacious. AC throughout, basic amenities provided sufficient for a 4 night stay. Was a great base to discover both north sand south shores

The condo was lovely and well stocked for cooking onsite. Beautiful view of ocean and loved that we could walk out onto the lanai and across the grass to a small beach. The owner and property manager were very responsive to questions. Kauai is such an amazing island! We would like to stay at this condo again.

Loved our time here. Great central location to beaches, food and relaxation. Condo worked well for six of us. Common use/shared coin operated washers and dryers only slight inconvenience for the trip. Wonderful grounds. Lots of games to play and opportunities through the activities center. Would come and stay again.

We really loved our stay at this property. The room itself was clean and solid and the kitchen was super well-stocked. I'm so glad that they left a bunch of the spices and odds and ends that people probably gathered when they cooked in it, as all those things made the kitchen far more usable.
Also, when we found that there weren't dishwasher pods in the kitchen, the owner actually gave us plenty of money in a refund for us to get our own, and since we were out so much, that was easy for us to do. They responded really well to our problem and were good about being generous on how to solve it when the housekeeper was across the island and unable to get to us in a timely manner.
The hottub on the property was a great way to get to talk to a lot of other travelers. The location was right on the edge of a small town, with lots of fun stuff just in walking distance, and instant access to the main road around the island. And being at the mid-point meant that going north and doing west was equally easy.
We've done Poipu before, but this was so much nicer, and more mixed into the actual residents of this island instead of just a resort dislocated from the rest of the island. I would so recommend this instead of Poipu, if you want to go to Poipu beach, it's an easy drive from here, too, and there are even beaches just on one side of the whole complex, some with protection from the surf to make swimming much less hazardous than on other parts of the island.

What a great visit! You can't beat the location. Close parking, close to the beach and a well-stocked apartment. The unit was clean and spacious. We appreciated the small extras like beach chairs and beach towels. We had good communication with the property management as well. There were a couple of small maintenance items that I alerted the PM too and I received a prompt reply to my email with the assurance things would be looked at by maintenance. None of the housekeeping items were a deal breaker for our stay. We would definitely stay here again!

This unit is located in a lovely, well maintained resort in Kapa'a. We had no issues with the unit, although we felt some of the furnishings could be a little more comfortable. Lovely view from lanai, nice to have the walking trail as well. Overall would definitely recommend!

Highly recommended!

Loved the Condo! I went with my elderly mom and being on the first floor and having A/C was perfect. Had a comfortable bed and everything we needed. The only negative was the fact that the drinkware took up 3 cupboards (over 50 glasses) so there was no cupboard space for groceries. Other than that, it was perfect.

We just got home from a wonderful stay in Kauai. The condo was just what we needed, and the ocean front view was gorgeous. We had awesome sunrises each morning, and a shaded patio all afternoon.
It had everything we needed in the kitchen, and had boogie boards, beach chairs and a beach umbrella for our use.
We also loved the location as it was close to Safeway, and many good restaurants (try the Macadamia Sea Bass at the Lemongrass Grill).
Huma was always quick to respond to any questions, and the check in/out procedure was easy.
We'll keep this on our list for future visits.

What a beautiful condo for our family of 6 adults to stay in. Had more than enough room for everyone. It is well equipped with everything you would need in the kitchen and for the beach. The condo is furnished very nicely and very comfortable. The grounds of the complex were lovely and we made use of the pool and hot tub. The bike walking path in front is great for renting a bike and taking in the views along the shore. The hosts Betsy and Brooke responded very quickly before our arrival and during when I had questions. They quickly fixed the concerns we had with the aircon in no time. I would highly recommend this unit and hosts Betsy and Brooke for your stay !

A great location for walking the bike path in Kapaa, easy walking distance to shops and food, plus 24/7 ocean sounds made for the perfect vacation spot.

She was very attentive and helpful with any questions. We will definitely be back! Mahalo

This location has amazing ocean views! Perfect to watch the sunrises. It has everything you need for your vacation. The only downside we had was staying for 9 days and the property only had 1 set of showering towels for each one of us. Granted there was a washer/dryer on the property, we weren’t in our unit enough to wash them every other day. I would recommend more towels for the guests. Also, our comforter had yellow stains on it which made going to bed a little uneasy. Lastly, our units AC was out for the first two days that we got there. Donna was quick to get it fixed and also accommodated us, which we were grateful for.
