Pretty typical rental with adequate amenities. Unit was clean and located near beach, restaurants and shopping. There is a good deal of noise from other units as mentioned in other reviews but not so much as to change rating. Staff was pleasant and responsive. Overall, a reasonable unit for the price.

Pono Kai has always felt like a second home to us; relaxing and comfortable. We notified vacasa that the screen and patio needed attention and this was dealt with the next day. the location is accessible to the bus routes and grocery store so we didn't rent a car.

Good location and property was spacious. I’d stay there again. Sound does travel from upstairs so bring earplugs.

You could hear all the footsteps from unit above. Sometimes until after midnight and early morning. VERY ANNOYING and disruptive to sleep!!

To noisy. Could hear everything from the above unit. The complex needs badly isolation between floors. I would not stay there again.

We stayed six nights at this property to celebrate our anniversary. It was clean and a very large, end unit. Being first floor wasn't too bad, but the person above was rather loud at all times of day and night. The outside chickens/roosters were not an issue. You could occasionally hear them. We were missing the lounge chair, which would have been nice. Looks like all other units had one. All basic supplies were available and we enjoyed the complimentary treats that were left for us. Other resort activities (hot tub, hammocks, croquet, lawn games) were nice to have on relaxing days.

I loved the high quality decor. I had to laugh, though, at the disparity between the decor and the absence of cleanliness on walls and floors. The view was breathtaking.

The property has a lot of perks... close to the beach, walking distance from restaurants and stores, lots of games and some activities.

Had everything we needed even a small soft sided cooler that was perfect for a day at the beach! Very clean. Centrally located on the island, walking distance to a few great coffee shops and shopping. Read reviews about the couch being uncomfortable, but there was new couch that isn’t pictured in the ad. Comfy bed. Great clean resort with lots of BBQ grills and games for families

Nice open floor plan, excellent location for easy access to the rest of the island. Couldn’t have any food out on the lanai due to the number of chickens. Grounds and beach access were wonderful. Enjoyed our stay would come back again!

My wife needs to work when we travel And it was impossible to connect to herVPN , the speed of the internet that the owner pays for is to slow. Also noise from above was really bad

We really enjoyed the ground floor Lanai and the location to the beach walk and bike ride ! Only 2 complaints . A lot of sound transfer from neighbor above and couch quite saggy

So many great activities to do on site and it is close to town and the beach. We will definetly stay here again. And the owner had all kinds of stuff in the condo for us to use; snorkels, cooler, beach chairs, etc.

My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon and really enjoyed the location and space. The unit is spacious and very clean (albeit slightly outdated with an uncomfortable couch) and included supplies for outings (beach towels, cooler, umbrella, snorkel gear). The AC unit keeps the living room and kitchen areas cool; the bedroom does get a bit hot at night, but nothing terrible with the ceiling fan and provided box fan running. The Pono Kai Resort is very pretty, has all the accommodations you'd generally want, is beachside, and in walking distance to a solid variety of food and shopping options throughout the town of Kapa'a. The resort is also equidistant-ish to both the south and north shores, reducing drive time for day trips. Would definitely stay here again!

We loved the location. A very clean condo. The resort had so many things to do there (lawn games, tennis, horse shoes & many more). We were on the ground floor and you could walk steps to the pool and the beach. We did not rent a car and there were plenty of things to do and places to eat in walking distance. We also used Uber to do some fun things close by. They supplied snorkel equipment (didn’t use because we brought our own), beach mats, cooler, lawn chairs and umbrella. We ate 2 meals a day there and the kitchen was great, fully stocked with supplies. We brought food and bought the perishables at the grocery store just up the street. We used the BBQ grill and they have beautiful gas fire pits you can sit around and hammocks to lounge in. I would go again it was amazing and so much fun!

Easy process checking in to the room and at the front desk. Space is really comfortable and feels just like home. We were welcomed with island snacks and a sweet fresh pineapple along with other goodies. Area is in a convenient spot surrounded by amazing places to eat. Would highly recommend staying here.

Disappointed. Terrible excuse for furniture. One horribly uncomfortable couch was it. Bed pillows were like rocks. Though the people upstairs were doing nothing unusual, it sounded like a herd of cattle from them simply walking across the floor. Unit J101 should not be marketed as a condo. It was more like a motel suite.

Enjoyed the proximity to the pool. The apartment had and still has a few issues that are pretty easily corrected. I appreciated immensely the quick responses to the needed issues that arose. Great service!

This property is beautiful and clean and the bed is comfortable. The only thing I would change is to be able to use the pool without reserving a time.

The condo was simple and in a perfect location close to downtown Kapaa, markets, and the airport. The beach was stunning and not too crowded. I enjoyed the free parking as well. The bed was a little small and very soft and there was no AC in the bedroom, but our host dropped off a cooling tower to us without us asking. Would recommend as its a great value!
