Very clean and well kept. Very nice location. Quiet, close to shops, restaurants and right on the ocean. Having a concierge on site was great.

The condo staff does not cooperate with units that are not owned by them. We had to call the property owner to get into our VRBO rented condo. The condo staff denied any knowledge of code to get into our rental. Luckily the owner answer his phone, otherwise we would have been left standing in the lobby for hours/days !!!!!!

This condo was perfect. The description was exactly what it was. It was so clean and had everything you would need. The view was incredible to just relax and watch the waves. Got to see several whales go by. We brought binoculars which helped. You will not regret renting this property.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Pono Kai. It’s the first time we’ve stayed there in Kapaa. Location was great and check in and check out was relatively simple

The location of the condo was perfect, I loved having the ocean view from our patio and bedroom window. They also provided beach chairs and toys to use on the beach which was great. The kitchen also had everything we needed for cooking and making coffee. I would definitely stay here again.

We had a great vacation and great experience. The property management company was attentive and check-in and check-out was a breeze. The condo was exactly as the pictures showed. We had plenty of space for out family of four and everything was there that we needed. The views were amazing and we enjoyed many a sunrise sitting on the balcony drinking our morning coffee. We were within a short walking distance of the shops/cafes/restaurants and the walking path right outside our door was also great. The amenities of the complex like tennis courts/swimming pool/equipment rentals for the beach/putting green/etc were used quite a bit and it was convenient to have all of that on the property. Overall we enjoyed our stay, never had any issues or concerns and would definitely stay here again.

We loved staying at Pono Kai…the oceanfront condo gave us endless soothing wave sounds and daily amazing sunrises…the grounds are gorgeous and the condo had absolutely everything we could need. We cooked several meals and had all we needed…even an amazing blender to make smoothies from our leftover fruit before we left!We highly recommend d this property and thank the owners for being so responsive…

The view from the condo can't be beat! The bicycle path was wonderful for walks and people watching. January offered an opportunity to watch whales breaching. We had a great time and hope to return to beautiful Kauai!

Had some small issues, and the property owners were fantastically responsive. Overall, the property is very comfortable and steps away from a great sunrise watching spot. The beach chairs and other items available for use were a thoughtful addition. We enjoyed our stay.

We loved the condo! The beach in front of it was clean and not crowded, plus it had the best sunrises! Other guests would bring their cup of coffee and just sit by the water, watching the sunrise. There was a paved walk in front of the resort where the public could walk or ride bikes, but it was never noisy. The AC was great to have on those hot afternoons. With the king-size bed in the main level, the queen bed and twin bed in the loft, we had more than enough room for the four of us. The beach chairs, umbrella and cooler were useful. The only drawback was having one bathroom and the laundry not being in the unit, but those were managable. Lots of restaurants and stores nearby. Kauai is our favorite island!

Pono Kai is my preferred place to stay…it’s convenient to everything. This was likely a timeshare, as the furnishings were identical to many others. The beds were very comfortable, but the living room furniture wasn’t. The couch was especially difficult to get comfortable on…not any better as a bed, I’d guess, but we didn’t try that. All in all, it worked for us. Liked having the ocean view…so much nicer than anything. Well, other than ocean view! Mahalo!

Would absolutely stay again. Excellent place, very well equip with everything you need in the kitchen and unit for your stay. Great location close to stores and restaurants. The property was well maintained and our kids loved the yard to play in and the pool. You didn't have a playpen so we bought one and left it there for others to use in the future.

My family rented 3 units at the Pono Kai Resort. Pono Kai is condo type developement with 10 buildings. This unit is in an excellent location on the third floor near the beach. The unit is extremely well out fitted and easily the best of the three units that my family rented. Kapaa is a short walk away. Pono Kai Resort is about 25 years old and is looking a bit worn but still quite acceptable.

I thought the room needed updating. Furniture was definitely old and needed to be updated to something lighter to make the place feel “not so dark and small”. We were in K 103. This is not the room we originally booked, but we’re told the elevator was not working at times so the resort gave us this room.. would not get a lace right in front of the highway again. Heard traffic all the time. But everything was clean .

We enjoyed our stay here. You can’t beat the beautiful ocean view! I loved waking up to the sound of the waves every morning. However, make sure you bring your own beach towels! The listing says beach towels are provided but there are only two! We had to go out and buy two more for our family of four which is pretty inconvenient considering we could have just brought our own. Otherwise, we had a wonderful time! Mahalo!

This was our 10th stay at the Pono Kai and it wont be our last. Kapa'a is the perfect location for convenient access to all areas of Kauai. Walking distance to many cute shops and delicious food trucks.

We had an absolutely amazing experience in this perfect Kaua’i condo. It exceeded expectations on every level. The ocean view and sound made every moment feel like paradise. If we return to Kaua’i, we will book this again. This is truly the best VRBO location we have ever booked. Thank you for making this so special.

Great place. The resort has everything you need. The location is excellent. Beach walk right out front. We rented bikes and rode the most scenic paved Kauai trail (14km) past Keālia beach. We could walk to restaurants and enjoyed the food trucks nearby. If you wanted to cook, the kitchen was fully equipped and had common condiments. We hope to come again soon. Thanks so much.

This property was just ok, everything a little old. The location was fantastic, close to down town Kapaa. Walking trail right outside the door. Good for island exploration and close to the airport. Just remember the traffic is tough, use an audio book or great tunes. IT’s Hawaii relax, it all good.

Everything was good, clean and well stocked and comfortable. The unit could use some maintenance, one of the cabinets in the kitchen has tape holding on the veneer on one of the doors, the sliding glass door was hard to open and close. Even with these things we would definitely stay here again.

Reviewer Comments:
It was a great condo for my family of 4. My two young daughters shared a queen(twin beds would have been better). It was so nice being on the ground level and walking up to walk on the beach at sunrise. (Beach was not swimmable for young ones). Being on the bike trail was great too. It was nice to go for a jog or walking to restaurants, food trucks, coffee. It was centrally located which made exploring the island easier. Snorkel rentals on site. The only negative was not having a washer and dryer in the unit(from a mother's perspective, it makes the trip more difficult). There is a laundry mat, but we didn't use it.
