This place was beyond our expectations. Perfect location, right on the beach. Excellent sunrises. Quiet and the beds were so comfy. It’s located in the middle of everything we did. We had no complaints. We’d definitely recommend it and would stay again for sure.

We spent 8 wonderful days on Kauai in this beautiful condo and absolutely loved it! The view from the lanai is incredible and the sunrises each morning were stunning! It was a great place and truly a home away from home. The condo is centrally located with many great places to walk to, as well as a great path along the ocean that we walked on each day. Stephanie was great with communication and addressed a small issue immediately when contacted. It’s easy to see why this place is so highly rated! Mahalo for an unforgettable dream vacation!

The property is a bit dated. The grounds are kept well. The unit was a little shabby, especially the bathrooms. The bedrooms are large, but the living area is smaller than the pictures make it look. Our biggest issue was that the door code we were given did not work, so upon arriving late at night, we had to call the property manager and get a code to the lockbox to let a key (that was difficult to use)…and there was only one key, so we could never separate from the friends we were traveling with. But the kicker was when I messaged the manager the same night we arrived, I NEVER heard back from them for the remaining four days we were there. Terrible customer service in my opinion. Think I’ll be avoiding Vacasa rentals in the future. Otherwise the island was beautiful and we’ll be coming back to Kauai soon.

Very nice condo. Location was beautiful. Condo was clean and as-advertized. Excellent amenities. Liked the grab bars in the bathroom. The bed was a bit too soft for us but not a big deal. We enjoyed staying there very much

We've stayed at Pono Kai several times and this unit was the nicest of all having been remodeled and being on the ground level puts the Ocean seconds away and such a beautiful view.

Great location. Rooms all had fans and AC.
Bed was too soft for me but others might like. The apartment is dated and we had issues with the sliding door but other than that everything was fine.
Property is great. Pool,hot tub, walking distance to shops and restaurants. I would stay here again.

This property was in a good location, on the beach, with a sidewalk along the beach. It was a short walk along the beach walking path to Kapaa restaurants and shops. Safeway was a short drive away, and Kapaa was a central location for exploring the island. The apartment rental was as advertised. Very comfortable. We could see the sun rise every morning from our balcony.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Pono Kai condo. The photos and description of the property and amenities were spot on. Use of the beach equipment, bikes, etc. made the trip even better. Lena was an excellent property manager and provided a clear and useful instruction sheet of the condo. Our only complaint would be the early checkout time of 10:00am. The only non-stop flight off Kauai was 10:00 pm. We had a whole day to kill without a place to come back to which forced us to spend more time at the airport than we would have liked. Other than that, our trip was fantastic!

Great location with beautiful view of the ocean. This is centrally located on Kauai for easy access to all locations on the island. Also, walking distance to lots of great food places, groceries and shopping. We recommend Kountry Kitchen for breakfast, lava lava beach club for supper, both walking distance along a beautiful beach path. The rental condo was perfect for us. It comes with a surprisingly well stocked kitchen including a vitamix blender and even a coffee grinder so you can purchase local (amazing) whole bean coffee. Also the unit is stocked with a washer and dryer. There are multiple options for beach chairs, a beach umbrella, beach bags and even a cooler. There are ice packs in the freezer. The condo looks to have been recently renovated and was very well done. The views from the balcony make for a perfect sunrise every morning! The unit was very clean when we arrived. We would definitely stay here again!

We loved the location and definitely recommend this unit! Sitting on the patio in the morning is the perfect place to be. The property is spacious and inviting. Several restaurants/shops are within walking distance and the path out back is a nice stroll, morning or evening. Great communication, plus easy and personable checkout.

The place’s location and the view were very nice. However the place needs upgrading. The bathroom was not very clean especially the toilet. Linens on the bed were old and was not even ironed but It was changed immediately when it was addressed. I am not sure if I will stay at this place again.

WOW! The view and sounds of the ocean can be heard from inside this unit. It was absolutely not necessary to be outside. This was a real plus and allowed us to soak up all the ocean had to offer, an element we will truly miss! For the discerning traveler, unit A-307, was exceptionally well stocked with impecable attention to detail (Tommy Bahama and island-decor items). Especially enjoyed the welcoming pineapple discretely placed in the refrigerator, a really nice touch. The condo included necessary items one may need while on vacation and in exploring the island. We could have easily left our toiletry bag at home (and hairdryer). Additional touches included necessary beach items, such as chairs, umbrellas, towels, and even a cooler to pack and take along on our days journey out exploring. Everything was clean and in great condition. We would certainly book this unit again, and hope to do so. Only downfall, steps. Three floors up and an additional flight to the master suite loft.

The property is not well maintained. There is rust on the light fixtures in the bathroom, rust on ceiling fans, there was dirt behind the hamper in the bathroom, the tub was filthy, 2 electrical outlets do not work, and the bed is beyond well worn (there is a 3-inch topper on a very old mattress). The view from the Lenai, breathtaking.

We have stayed at Pono Kai for over 15 years and always love it. Normally we have the kids with us and get a 2 bedroom. This time we didn’t take the kids, so we rented the 1 bedroom with Murphy bed in the parlor. To say we were pleased is an understatement. The condo was spacious, clean and the air conditioner worked great. Russ our host was INCREDIBLE with communication and we extended our stay there as we loved it that much. It is hard having family come visit for dinner as the resort itself only always registered guests in the pool area so be aware of that rule. Recommend this condo 100%

The unit is in a very convenient location with direct access to beach and easy walking distance to food/shopping. Plenty of trash bags, paper towels and toilet paper to last the entire week stay. Random condiments and pantry items left in kitchen (we did not use but someone may appreciate it). Beach equipment and beach towels available in unit. The grounds of the resort (Pono Kai) were great! Tons of games, walking paths, grills and fire pits. There was only one key for the unit which wasn’t a huge deal but there was another couple with us so we had to coordinate plans in order to keep unit locked. Condo was tidy and somewhat clean but could certainly use a deep clean. The bathtubs appeared to have not been scrubbed in a long time. Would not be comfortable putting a child in them to bathe. There are a ton of fans which we loved in the spare room with no A/C. Guest book with recommendations was a nice touch.

it was a dump and super hot in the bedroom, 3 forks in kitchen, the bath and kitchen not very clean and the entire kitchen leaves a lot to the imagination, needs help. if you saw up close pics, you would laugh, peeling stick on's, uneven and tired and old. The staff that came to help was a few days later and gave us a fan that didn't do much, i ended up purchasing a fan at Walmart that worked. that place is way too expensive for what you get. Thankfully it was only a week. The staff that came to assist was super nice and helpful, but the owner really needs to update that place and do a deep clean!

We can’t say enough about our stay. The condo was super convenient to dining, shopping, groceries, and activities. The upgrades inside were fantastic and the daily sunrise from the lanai was amazing.

This condo is perfect for a Kapaa stay. The oceanfront view is spectacular and close enough to be lulled to sleep by the ocean yet far enough off the bike trail. The condo is extraordinarily clean, roomy and comfortable! Well appointed with great beach gear. Comfortable beds and the air was very nice to have on humid nights in August. Walking distance to food and sundries. The grounds are beautiful with lots to do there (pool, croquet, volleyball, fire pits, koi pond etc). The only thing we’d add would be a few basic spices for cooking!

We loved the condo - it was beautiful and the photos don’t do it justice. The place was very clean, the kitchen had everything you would want. The host has thought of everything! And the view was gorgeous! The property was also very nice and well maintained. The location on the island was super convenient for exploring the entire island. We would definitely stay here again!!

Love the location but the place needs updates. I paid for a place with AC and the AC didn’t work when we got there. We were without AC for3 days and it was miserable. I feel the price I paid was too high for all problems we had. Won’t be staying here again.

Pono Kai is a great location on Kauai. Lots of things to do close to where you are. We stayed 7 days and didn't use a full tank of gas. Yet we were doing something everyday! The lighthouse at kileaua, bike path, Smith family luau, Capt Andy's star BBQ coastline Cruise, Wailau kayak adventure, and one day enjoying the facilities @ Pono Kai & Beach! Love every minute celebrating my wife's birthday week! Mahalo!

We enjoyed our time in Kauai. What a beautiful place, We drove all the way from Poipu to the edge of the North Shore. Thís room is centrally located and perfect for that. The weather wasn't great but we made the most we could of it. The bed is small (full size) and the mattress and pillows are the pits. Needs a good upgrade there! Thanks
