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!

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.

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.

We enjoyed our stay here. The property met our expectations. The WiFi didn't always work and an outlet in the guest bathroom was not working. Other than that it was just fine. The view from the Lanai is amazing and really enjoyed the walking path to town. Great location centrally located.

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.

We loved our week in this lovely home! So tastefully decorated and well supplied with all we needed to enjoy a week in this beautiful location. We loved being on the ground floor and the ease of walking out to enjoy the 8 mile paved walk along the coast. We had a few days of rainy weather and succeeded in putting together the surfboard puzzle provided.

The unit was everything we needed it to be. The beach is just feet away and perfect for watching sunrise every single morning. There is a paved bike path that runs through resort so rented bikes for kids all week. Ground unit was perfect so could bring bikes in every night. Desk staff helpful and check in easy. Haldy way between Poipu and Princeville soakea a great base camp. Food trucks, ABC store, and restaurants within walking distance. Great time by everyone

We stayed with a group of 5 adults and the 2 bedrooms and pull out couch worked great. Perfect location along the bike path in Kapa'a with beach front views. Property had pool, hot tub, games and bbqs and hammocks all over. I loved the little garden where guests were welcome to pick fresh herbs from. Highly recommend!

The condo was very clean and roomy. It had everything we needed during our stay plus some great bonus items. The cards and games were a hit as well as the beach chairs and snorkel masks. The best part was sitting on the front patio and taking in the sunrise every morning, what a beautiful view!! We had such a great vacation, thank you so much for allowing us to share your paradise!

We spent 9 days here and 14 days total on Kauai. The resort had great amenities: pool, ping pong, giant connect 4, and bag toss to name a few for kids. They also have grills scattered throughout. There is laundry facilities at each building. Cost $1.50 per wash and per dry. Condo unit had everything we needed: beach chairs, umbrella, binoculars, beach towels, regular towels, everything we could think of for kitchen utensils. The beds were comfy and the view amazing! The location was perfect for walking up to dinner and shopping. The staff there were very helpful and nice when we had any questions. We will definitely be staying here again shall we come back to this island. Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us.

Great location, walking distance to restaurants, the beach, shopping. Kapa’a is perfect for being in the middle between the north and shouts shores. The condo was great and had everything we needed. The property owners were great to work with!

The place was perfect for my family of 4 (2 kids - aged 11 and 13). It was clean, well-stocked with all the cooking utensils, plates, pots, pans,etc. Plenty of room for the 4 of us, with each kid having their own bed. Literally right off the water in Kappa. Walking distance to downtown Kapaa which made it fun to get shaved ice. There is a Safeway nearby to stock up with food. Location was perfect so you could get to the North beaches and South beaches easily. Only 2 things to make this even a stronger rating (keep in mind it is already a perfect 5 for us) - perhaps updating the guide left in the condo with new instructions - for example, the instructions for tunnels beach was not accurate but we figured it out. One other small thing would be to encourage the Pona Kai mgmt to not require parental signatures for teenagers who want to play ping pong. But these are small things - overall we would come again to this place next time we are in Kauai.

We just returned from our trip to Kauai and staying at this property and had a great time. The condo was clean, the rooms were large, and the location was great. Not only is the condo centrally located on the island AND so close to the beach, but there are plenty of food and shopping options nearby. If I was returning to the island my first choice would be to book this condo again.

We stayed in this same condo five years ago, and we came back to it again for many reasons. One of my favorite things in life is to sit on this lanai and watch the sunrise. The condo is equipped with the basics you need, furnished appropriately, and has an AMAZING location. We love staying in Kapa’a because it is somewhat central on the island between north and south. This is the perfect home base for anyone visiting Kauai. It’s walking distance to shopping and restaurants in Kapa’a, and the north or south shore are only about 30-40 min away depending on traffic. We’ll be back!!

By Hawaii standards this was an affordable condo for a family of 4 with a great central location in Kapa'a. The Condo is truly 100 feet to the ocean. Very pragmatic space with beach chairs, mat, umbrella, boogies boards and water noodle in the closet. There is plenty of closet and drawer space for a family of 4. Kitchen is well stocked with utensils/dishware. Town of Kapa'a is a short 2 minute walk away with restaurants and shops. Kapa'a is on the east side of the island so you have bright sunrises and are half-way between the north shore and south shore for various day trips. North shore is more scenic and quaint. South shore beaches tend to be more touristy and commercial but also less rain. We really liked being halfway between both plus there are nice waterfalls and tourist opportunities (kayaking, Hawaiian Luan's, Bike Path along the coast, kid friendly beach, short-medium hikes to waterfalls) near Kapa'a. I like how the condo's master bedroom had a king size bed (hard to find) and the 2nd bedroom has 2 separate singles so our daughters didn't have to share a bed. The condo complex has a 24 hour help desk that's always manned. There's a pool and coin operated laundry just 30 steps from the condo. Gas stations and grocery stories are a short drive and you're just 20 minutes from the airport in bad traffic, 15 minutes in light traffic. Hosts were very responsive to any questions I had. Very pleased with our weeklong stay at this condo.

Great condo! Waking up to the beautiful sunrise every morning was amazing. Location is great with shops/restaurants next door and easy to get to anywhere on the island. Plenty of parking and resort has tons of yard games to play and amazing staff. Perfect set up for my family with young kids. Condo itself was in great condition and had all the essentials we needed. Would highly recommend!!

We enjoyed our stay here very much. The view from the porch is amazing. Loved watching the sunrise every morning. Kitchen is well stocked, beach chairs and coolers available. Beds comfortable. The pool and hot tub were great. Kids used mini golf and shuffle board equipment from the facility. Great centralized location with lots of eating options in walking distance. We would highly recommend staying here!!

Had a great visit. First time to island. Great walking path out lanai door. Nice pool amenities. Units are not well sound proofed, can hear every step people in unit above take.

Breathtaking. The unit was exactly as pictured. Homey. Everything clean and comfortable. Nicely furnished kitchen with newer cabinets and appliances. A few issues were solved almost immediately by the owner. Unit smelled musty/closed up when we first arrived. Opened the back door and aired it out with a fresh tropical breeze. Perfect. Can't wait to go back!

Great oceanfront unit, perfect setup for our family. No cable, just Roku TV, so not easy for low tech folks. Written instruction sheet would help. AC in main living area & master bedroom most appreciated. Will definitely return & recommend this unit.

Everything was great, except for the pillows in the master bedroom. The pillows smelled like pee and when I took the pillowcases off, they looked very dirty and stained. You need new pillows, they were gross.

The views and physical proximity to the beach were exactly as advertised. Loved the property, because it was beautiful and had many activities. The only issue was we had a need for basic supplies. We were told we could not get more supplies. This was not only disappointing, but the communication came much later than our request was made. Overall, wonderful experience and would do it again without hesitation.

Ocean front condo for our family of 4 was perfect for walking to eat and shop in Kapaa, 100 steps to jumping into the ocean, watching daily sunrises, exploring east Kauai including lots of nearby beaches, waterfalls adventures of Wailua, and Waimea Canyon touring. We used the ping pong table, the barbecues, the pool and jacuzzi, and the hammock; if we stayed longer we would have taken long bike rides along the route right in front of the condo and played lots of other games available through Pono Kai.

We are a family of 6 ( two adults and four teens) and we loved this condo. The location is the very best on the island to see everything amd we loved being close to downtown Kapa’a and all the cute shops and restaurants. Also loved being on the bottom floor where we can walk right out to the ocean at any time!! Loved it all!!

We stayed here for 2 weeks with our 3 young adult children and very much enjoyed our stay! The location was awesome - ground level (definitely worth it to be on the ground level), right on the ocean. It was amazing to watch the sunrise from the patio every morning. Much to do right at the condo but, more importantly for us, it was very centrally located to all the other things we wanted to do on the island. Many restaurants and shops within walking distance. We rented bikes, kayaks and surfboards right up the street. The paved path along the ocean right outside the condo was perfect for biking, jogging and walking. There is a relatively small but nice beach area right outside the door. The complex was well kept and had a nice pool with tennis, horseshoes, croquet, ping pong, a putting green and several other games as well as barbecues. There was a concierge too although we did not use this service. The property was as advertised and worked out perfectly for our circumstances. It was clean, modern and equipped with everything we needed. No housekeeping services but washer and dryer basically right outside the door (not sure if this was because of COVID or always this way) - not an issue for us. The sleeping accommodations were more suited to a group of 4 adults or family with younger children but it worked for us. The host was very responsive and most accommodating. Overall, perfect choice for our stay! Mahalo!
