Beachfront on the east shore of Kauai, Pono Kai Resort is a centrally located Kauai vacation rental with easy access to the North or South shores of Kauai. Approximately 8 miles from the Lihue Airport, Pono Kai Resort is located in the town of historic Kapa'a. Situated on 13 tropical acres. This Kauai oceanfront condo is within easy walking distance to shops, restaurants, boutiques and banks. Swim right on the beach front of Pono Kai Resort or lounge pool side and enjoy the outdoor spa and sauna. Barbecue stations are located throughout the property along w/laundry facilities in each building.
The Pono Kai Resorts east side location makes it easy to get to Kilauea Lighthouse, Hanalei Bay and Haena State Beach Park to the north or Poipu Beach to the south. Nearby attractions in Kapaa include Kealia Beach, Lydgate State Beach Park for snorkeling, Kamalani Playground with a "volcano tube", Sleeping Giant Hiking Trail, Wailua Falls, Opaeka'a Falls and the Fern Grotto boat ride are just a sample of what's available on Kauai's eastern shores.
Beachfront at an affordable price makes this Kauai condo a fantastic value. Humpback whales breaching can be seen from your private lanai during the months of November through April or walk along the shores early morning and you may be the first to discover a glass ball.
Hawaii boasts a lush tropical climate, which also means it's home to some native insects and island pests. While we work diligently to ensure your stay is comfortable and pest-free with preventative measures, it's important to note that encountering these critters is possible. We're committed to minimizing any inconvenience caused by these creatures. However, it's essential to understand that their presence does not constitute a breach of contract or entitle guests to refunds. We appreciate your understanding and hope you have a fantastic stay in our beautiful tropical paradise!
Holiday rates apply 12/15 - 1/5 with a minimum night stay.

This is our third time staying at Pono Kai and our first time staying in this unit. This unit was everything we could have wanted and more. It was big enough for our family of four and we loved having two bathrooms and A/C throughout the whole condo. The views of the ocean from the master bedroom and the patio were amazing. We loved staying here and can't wait to come back!

Loved the 2 bedroom 2 bath rental, our guest was able to have her own privacy including bathroom. The rental came with everything we needed to cook, beach, or just hangout on the patio enjoying the view, the only thing missing that you couldn’t control was more sunny days. Thank you will definitely revisit

We had a beautiful and wonderful time. Our rental was all it said and more! The sunrise and sunsets on the ocean were fantastic. The little roosters were very friendly LoL. But that was all part of the experience. Close enough to walk into town. And the sound of the waves really were soothing. This is where I plan to come back many times.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The home has a great layout with a large primary bedroom and good size second bedroom as well. The ocean views from the living room/kitchen and primary bedroom are wonderful. The walking trail was great as we used it almost every day. We were able to watch the sunrise over the ocean directly in front of our living room/lanai during our stay which we did every morning. A great quiet beach in your backyard a few steps to the left is what really makes this place special.

Our ocean front condo was just as described and we enjoyed the month of February there. It is well laid out, well furnished, clean and plenty of supplies were available. Pono Kai is large but was quiet. We loved being able to walk to restaurants and shops nearby. We walked the oceanside path every day--it goes for miles. The management company was very good, always a fast response, and the website made communication easy. I would highly recommend this unit.

This is a great rental unit. It is nicely furnished. There were a lot of little extras that you sometimes don’t find, for reapplied there were 4 rolls of toilet paper in each bathroom, Kleenex in both a judge roll of trash sacks and extra rolls of paper towels. The kitchen was well stocked, plenty of dishes, glasses in all varieties, plenty of silverware. There were little extras here also like measuring cups.My only disappointment was there was no beach in front of the ocean front unit. The Pono Kai has lovely grounds and there was plenty of parking places..the rental company was great, when we had problems with the AC which was due to a powere outage, They did an excellent job of walking me through the restart.

Clearly among the best-located units at Pono Kai--only about 50 yards of grass and a paved walkway separate you from the ocean. So comfortable, I was tempted to just stay "home" for my entire stay.
Also, had two occasions to contact management with special requests and they were quick, friendly and positive in both cases.

Reviewer Comments:
We stayed in July. Good things - Check-in was smooth. Location is excellent and unit faces the ocean and gets lots of trade winds. Other units had A/C units, but this has portable ones in be bedroom which was great. Unit was generally clean. There was an issue with a door screen and property management company was responsive. The pool is small but open until 10pm and grounds are kept clean and provides lawn games for families.
What is however poor was the overall condition of the unit. Front door and closets had weather damane. The pots and pans and other kitchen tools were in terribly poor condition. Not much appliances other than blender, microwave. Coffee maker was dirty. We wished there was in-house laundry since the common units were bad. Also the home lacked sufficient beach or bath towels and the beach chairs and umbrellas were rusted and broken rendering them useless

We enjoyed everything about this property. Location to town was convenient & walkable, proximity to the beach was immediate & water views were amazing from the unit! The unit was updated & well stocked. The beds were very comfy in both rooms. The ceiling fans were cooling & having A/C in the bedrooms was nice to cool off. Breezes in the afternoon helped cool off the living room in the afternoon. The resort property was very nice & full of fun amenities for my tweenage kids. Can’t wait to book this same unit again for our next visit.

Reviewer Comments:
The location of this condo and the view of the ocean was terrific, especially for the overall cost. There is also a great walking/biking path right outside your door, which we enjoyed every morning with a cup of coffee.Because of the location, size of the condo and cost, I rate the whole stay 4 stars but do want to note a few things on this property for someone considering another stay:1.) There is no A/C. I did not think to check for this so I was disappointed and uncomfortable on our arrival when we realized there was no A/C in our stuffy new home. The trade winds off the ocean were not blowing so with no airflow, we were miserable as we were settling in and cooking dinner. Once the winds picked up and we figured out a strategy with the fans, we were comfortable the following days but this feature is worth noting as a downside.2.) The place is starting to be run down, not all the pictures are accurate, and the furniture/amenities could use updating. Different elements of the place are showing wear and tear and need some love and care. There is rust on the windows, closet doors are broken, and it could use a really good deep cleaning. Also, the pictures online for the property show more decor, etc which is no longer there. The furniture inside and out seems old and worn, some updating would be ideal here.3.) We had ants in the kitchen. Not an overwhelming problem, but an annoying one.Overall, the town of Kapa'a was a great spot for us to access the island without being surrounded by hotels, and we enjoyed the condo in the end, especially considering the rate. I would recommend this property, but with the caveats noted above.

This is a well kept condo and is located centrally to the island of Kauai. Our stay there was delightful. No a/c, but having an end unit helped with the flow of wind off the ocean through the front and out the back windows. I had trouble contacting the rental agency through the office number provided, and had to use the emergency number for what I considered non emergencies. The blender was broken when we arrived, but the property manager replaced it with a much better one. The location was walking distance to many amenities, and though we were right in town, we were far away from road noise, and only heard the ocean! I would not hesitate to stay here again. The kitchen was well stocked, tho' the fridge was almost too big for where it was located.

The location of this unit is terrific. Ground level facing east so sun raises are on full display. Near walking path, easy walk to downtown Kapaa. Many restaurants within easy walk or short drive. A quiet location. There is some maintenance needing to be done. The shower head in the main bath is not connected to the watt, protrudes out. S9me windows are salted up or latch is broken making them hard to open. The dishwasher did not clean the dishes. The closet tracks were very dirty. The beds are very comfortable, the furnishings in good shape. Overall we had a great time and really relaxed.

This was a central location and was ideal for our vacation. The unit was a nice big open floor plan with comfortable furniture and plenty of seating. The bathrooms were spacious and had plenty of towels for use. The bedrooms were also a nice size w king beds and ample closet space w lots of hangers. The master bedroom had a perfect ocean view. The kitchen had All the dishes we needed and plenty of soap, towels and dish towels. However, the unit didn’t carry any additional items people often use like zip lock bags, tin foil or saran wrap, straws or panrty cooking essentials i.e olive oil, spices. They had plenty of beach towels and beach accessories. The grounds at Pono Kai are well maintained w plenty of BBQ’s. We loved this place for our family vacation and would return to this unit for future vacations!

We spent 2 weeks in Oct 2016 at this condo with another couple and the unit and Pono Kai resort were incredible! The view was exactly as pictured. There were a few updates to furniture since the photos including a higher kitchen table and a stainless steel fridge. Nice reading lamps in the bedroom. Property Mgr was easy to contact when needed to resolve a minor plumbing issue and accommodated our 1 hour late checkout. The reason for 4/5 on general condition and cleanliness was the windows and shutters. I'm sure the salt water and humidity make it extremely hard to keep these white shutters clean but you almost didn't want to touch them and they were a bit difficult to open and close because of the stickiness. One needs replacing in the master bedroom. Overall we loved the central location, beautiful grounds, beautiful view and wonderfully equipped condo! Thanks you very much for a great vacation!!
