“It's on the Kapa'a multiuse trail so I could run outside every morning … The view was incredible, watched every sunrise from the balcony or the trail on a run.”

Paradise as you imagined Penthouse in the heart of wonderful Kapa'a Town! Pono Kai Condominiums are perfectly located RIGHT ON THE OCEAN a short drive from the airport and within walking distance of downtown Kapa'a with its restaurants and shops, parks and activities. It is right on sandy Pono Kai Beach and fronted by the famous Kapa'a Beach Bike bath and its miles and miles of shoreline. This amazing central location gives you easy access to the North, South and West shores, as well.

5 STAR REVIEW: "We really enjoyed our stay, right on the bike path and so close to grocery store and restaurants. The waves of the ocean the Sunrise and the Condo was clean and well maintained too. We used to live on Kauai, so we knew exactly where we wanted to stay. This place was perfect for us as we could walk anywhere, we wanted to or drive if we wanted to. The Pool and Hot tub were nice too." Oct 14, 2024

This top floor unit (with elevator) features a spacious bedroom with a KING BED and a bath with a washer and dryer, a remodeled kitchen and an Oceanfront view living room and lanai. The lanai is wonderfully relaxing as you watch the waves roll in from your perch above the beach.

Amenities at the resort abound. They include beautifully maintained grounds with tropical flora, a large swimming pool with hot tub, barbecue, sauna, tennis courts ,putting greens, exercise room, activities desk, and a sundries shop!

Perfect location and great space! We enjoyed the sunrise each morning from the private balcony. The location was perfect with easy parking, the elevator close to the condo, and steps away from the ocean. Clean space, comfortable beds (including the sofa bed) and patio furniture, fully stocked kitchen accessories, and in unit laundry are just some of the things that made staying here convenient and feel like a home away from home. We highly recommend this beautiful ocean front property!

The condo was cozy and comfortable. It had all the amenities to make our stay easy, and effortless. It is centrally located, to walk into downtown Kapaa for meals, shopping, and bike rental. Located on the beach, the view was spectacular!

Condo was dated, but I like a little Hawaiian funk. It was in need of a deep cleaning. The oceanfront view was as advertised, it was great. Check in was easy and the door code always worked!

Great view to watch sunrise every morning. Basic needs supplied: spices, ziplock bags, tin foil and laundry soap. So nice to have these basics. A very large tv. Decorations and furniture could use a little updating but certainly ok as it is.

Nice condo. Beautiful view. Property is generally overrun with roosters and chickens. Sleep can be impossible with rooster crowing. This is apparently a problem throughout the island.

Great central location. Not too far from any area of the island. We rented a car and traveled everywhere. It's on the Kapa'a multiuse trail so I could run outside every morning and keep up with my training schedule. The view was incredible, watched every sunrise from the balcony or the trail on a run. Plenty of cookware, tools and dishes for use. Being able to do a load of laundry while there was a huge plus.

This property is perfect with a beautiful morning sunrise view. Our host, Candace, was easily accessible to allow us to access the property a little before our scheduled time since we arrived early. We had free access to 2 umbrellas and 2 beach chairs which saved us money on the rentals at the front office.

My daughter and I enjoyed our stay. The condo is as described. The ocean view is terrific and watching the sunrise every morning was outstanding. The only improvement would be to replace the mattress in the bedroom. We would definitely consider staying again. Mahalo

Beautiful ocean views from the 3rd floor! Coastal, Hawaiian vibe decor with everything you need. Great location, walk to Kapaa and easy drive to any destination on the island. Very nice unit at Pono Kai. We look forward to returning! Friendly host.

We stayed in. 3rd floor unit that had great views but the elevator was not working the entire week. Although the manager gave us a discount, our 70 year old hips were not happy. No fault of management, but we were not given notice prior to arruving of this delay in repairs or the option to cancel for a full refund.

Insider tips

Good to know at Pono Kai

  • At first light, step onto the paved coastal path out front for a sunrise stroll along the water, or ride it north past Kealia beach, the prettiest stretch.
  • In the mornings, kids can help feed the koi in the resort's fish ponds, a small ritual that families remember long after the trip.
  • On a rainy afternoon, head to the lawns for croquet, horseshoes, giant chess and giant Connect Four, plus ping pong, a putting green and tennis courts.
