Great place

Property was right on the beach and centrally located on the island. The apartment met our needs very nicely and I would stay there again.

Great location

Within a short walk to the beach, main part of town, and yoga. First Saturday of the month Kapa’a has a festival with different types of food vendors, etc. Very fun and interesting to walk around.

Best vacation ever!

The condo worked out perfect for our week in Kauai. The location is amazing. The amenities were an added bonus. Loved the view! Walking distance to many shops and restaurants. Couldn't ask for a better location. And Bryan was quick to respond to all inquires! Would definitely stay here again!

Great location, great view, great accommodations

This condo had everything we needed for a comfortable family vacation! This is an amazing walking location plus in the middle of all the beaches & food we wanted to drive to. The house included many things for making our family (including a 1-year-old) comfortable --pack-n-play, towels, beach toys, etc. We would love to come back!

Perfect for our family needs

This place was beautiful. The view was phenomenal. Right on the beach. There were so many activities in the complex. We loved all the chickens waking us up every morning. Loved cooking our shrimp and pineapple on the grill right outside the house.

Sunrise Paradise!!

We love this area Kapaa and this unit is right in the heart of town!! We walked to get dinner every night and ate at a different place each time! Need something from the market, no problem, four markets in walking distance! In other words, the condo is a great location, with a great ocean view and perfect for our large family!! Thanks for sharing your home with us... we shall return!!

The view is the best part of the condo! Easy walking distance to town.

We really enjoyed our cozy condo. We wanted ocean front to enjoy your 20th anniversary. The kids enjoyed the pool every day. Easy check in and check out. The water toys were amazing, but watch out for jelly fish on the beach in front of the condo. Bring a tweezers and the condo had vinegar luckily. The stove could use an upgrade, that was our only complaint. Thank for the memories!

The PERFECT Spot!

Fantastic property with an unbeatable location. This was my family of four’s third trip to Kaua’i. This place was the best one yet! Steps to the beach, tons of stuff for the kids to do, walk to anywhere in Kapa’a town in minutes. The condo is laid out perfectly. Kids had their own bathroom (a huge plus with two teenage girls)! Great selection of beach toys, chairs, cooler, etc. I always prefer staying on the “east side”. Much more local feel than Poipu or Princeville. Mahalo for a great stay. It was really hard to leave!

Incredible view and location

This unit totally exceeded our expectations! The views, especially the sunrises were spectacular. The pool and hot tub was so convenient and enjoyable. We also made good use of the available games equipment. We played table tennis, croquet, corn hole and jenga. That equipment was unexpected but really appreciated. The in-unit laundry was a real treat. It was so nice to be able to do laundry while visiting in the evening instead of having to go the laundry room. We will definitely come back here!

Loved being right on the ocean

I loved that the ocean was right out your door. The winds made it so that you didn't need air conditioning. Everything was close by, shopping, attractions, The Smith Family luau came and picked us up in a shuttle and took us back to the condo. I loved having a washer and dryer to use. They had chairs to use at the beach, and in the lobby we were able to rent snorkeling gear. We rented bikes right next to the condo. Restaurants were in walking distance. I also loved the fact that not only did the living room have views of the ocean but so did the bedroom. I would stay here again.

GREAT location, Beachfront perfection

We so enjoyed our weeklong stay at Pono Kai! This condo was the perfect spot, easy access to other island hot spots, steps away from a quiet beach, and pool. we loved waking to the beach breeze and sunrise views from bed each morning, spent hours on the lanai. Great condo for families! We had our 6.5 year old with us, condo is well stocked- even with beach toys, chairs, coolers, ect. Very clean. Nice to have the master wing w separate bathroom. Downstairs unit is a timeshare- we met a lovely family w similar aged kiddo, very fun for them to play together. We’ll be back to Kauai for sure, and will check availability of this condo first!

Pricey but needs updating

Excellent location, excellent setting but unit itself needs updating or a lower price point. We had to keep holding the toilet flush handle in order to clear the bowl, and one window lacked a screen while most windows seemed to merely lean against their frames. Unit itself was well laid out, but the price seemed excessive for the condition of the unit. We did have a very enjoyable stay though. Kapaa traffic is notorious for slow, stop and go traffic from 11 am when contraflow ends, but local drivers are the friendliest, most courteous drivers in the world.

Stay June 22-27, 2021

This 2 bedroom condo was right in the heart of Kapa’a. Restaurants and shops are in easy walking distance. Like other reviews have said, the condo hasn’t been updated. That’s the only slightly negative thing I could say. It was very clean and functional, a beautiful view right on the water, with a walking/bike path that went along the beach. Even better than the condo was the owner. We’ve stayed in many VRBO’s, all with great owners (except for 1). The owner of this condo was exceptionally nice and accommodating. We didn’t have all these rules for leaving the condo which made the end of our vacation easy. I would highly recommend this place. We had a wonderful time!

Extemely happy with condo and location!

This condo is really perfect! Its location in Kapa'a made picking up guests at airport easy, walkability to old Kapa'a town is a huge plus for meals, and to see the ocean from the living room and master bedroom made any time in the condo a real joy! The only drawback was the uncomfortably warm 2nd bedroom, it just doesn't get very good airflow, but there are fans available; and the blinds seem to clack constantly. Overall, the lack of a/c was only an issue one day when the characteristic tradewinds stopped. We ate breakfast and spent time reading on the lanai daily, I will really miss that! Oh, and the multiuse trail is a fabulous way to see the coastline! We rented bikes right next door and spent a couple of hours riding up and down the trail!! We would definitely return!

Week long stay

Nice clean property located within a short walk or drive from shopping. The condo is well laid out. A few things are ready for updating. Kitchen was equipped pretty well. No hot pads and waffle maker needs some work. TV stand was broken and remotes to confusing to use the TV the only time we needed it for news. Overall our stay was very nice with the condo. Master was very nice every morning at sunrise. The beach was the only area that was disappointment. It seems to collect a lot of debris. There are other beaches that were close by. The owner has beach things avail. As well as the complex. Over all it was a nice stay. If the beach is your priority, plan to look close by. Debris could have been weather related as they had storms the week before.

Great property and great view!

Loved to whole property. It is well kept and beautiful. Nice amenities. Our condo was great. The view was beautiful! You could see the sunrise from the lanai and master bedroom.It was clean and had everything we needed. The beach here is really not a place to swim. But there are great beaches close by. One day the resort had a local lady selling jewelry, etc. I like seeing this. She had nice things and was very friendly. I have never stayed in Kapaa as it is so busy and noisy. WELL, not so at this property. It was so quiet and never heard the road noise! The big plus is that we walked a lot. Great restaurants and shopping that are an easy walk. Plus, if you plan to visit both sides of the island this is pretty much half way in between. Last thing.....Tiki Tacos is Amazing! It’s just a small place but with big yummy food!

Another great stay!

We enjoyed our first stay in C209 a couple of years ago, and were excited to see the unit was available for this trip. Pono Kai has a great location-- halfway between the north and south shore, it makes getting to either side of the island easier. Shops and restaurants in downtown Kapa'a are within walking distance, which is a plus. (Make sure to get the manapua or malasadas for breakfast at Pono Bakery, and a plate lunch from Pono Market. And if anyone in your group sews, make sure to visit Vicky's Fabrics and maybe even take a class if something on the calendar catches your interest.) C209 is a great unit. With no one above you, and no windows overlooked by walkways, it feels very safe and private (and yes, there is an elevator for anyone with mobility issues). Oceanfront, so we could sit on the lanai and watch the sunrise in our pjs, and later in the day could people/dog watch everyone enjoying the path along the ocean (or quick access to enjoy it ourselves). The in unit washer/dryer meant no lurking around the laundry facilities trying to snag an open unit. And while the unit has AC, we never needed to use it due to the trade winds and the great cross ventilation of the unit. We also loved the ample seating where everyone could stretch out and it didn't feel cramped, and that we could still enjoy the views of the ocean from the living room couches. We thoroughly enjoyed our second stay at this unit, and hope to again in the future!

Great location & awesome view!

The Pono Kai Resort is in a great location on the island. It is very easy to get anyplace from there if you have rented a car. It is about halfway between the north and south shores. If you choose not to rent a car, the beach is right in front of the condo, as well as a paved walking path several miles long. You can also walk out to the main road and walk into town. There are lots of cute shops and great restaurants! We were very pleased when we got to the resort. Check in was very easy and there was plenty of parking near the condo. There is an elevator to help with getting your luggage up to the 2nd floor. The condo was pretty much as pictured on VRBO. The one thing that surprised me is that there is not a TV in the main bedroom. The view outside from there is beautiful, but I do like to watch a little TV when I go to bed at night. The 2nd bedroom does have a TV. There were plenty of beach towels, beach chairs, toys, ect. We actually only used the towels when we went to the pool. We had a couple of things come up and we called Monica, the condo manager, and she always responded right away and took care of it. The grounds of the resort are well maintained, so pretty and very relaxing. The pool and hot tub were very nice as well. We would highly recommend staying here. We had a great time and if we are ever able to we would stay here again.
