Unbeatable Oceanfront Condo – Your Perfect Paradise Getaway!

Welcome to this beautiful 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom condo located at Pono Kai in the charming, historic town of Kapa'a, on the island of Kauai. This top-floor (3rd floor) corner unit offers breathtaking 245-degree ocean views, cool island breezes through side windows, and the added convenience of elevators.

Inside, you'll find a spacious living area with a queen-size sleeper sofa and a fully equipped kitchen—stocked with all appliances, cookware, and utensils you'll need to prepare meals at home (see amenity list for full details). The bedroom features a comfy California king-size bed, and the condo comes fully stocked with linens, bath towels, pool towels, soap, shampoo, and conditioner. A split-system AC in the living room ensures your comfort day and night.

Whether you're relaxing indoors or enjoying the oceanfront view from your private lanai, this condo truly feels like a home away from home. It comfortably accommodates up to 4 guests.

Located right on the oceanfront and just steps away from Kapa’a’s quaint shops, local boutiques, restaurants, and grocery stores, you’ll enjoy the best of both convenience and serenity. Rent bikes next door and explore the coastline path, or take advantage of nearby water activities such as canoeing, kayaking, and surfing—just 5 minutes away!

Don’t miss the First Saturday Art Walk in Kapa'a, where you’ll find live music, local crafts, and delicious food vendors.

Explore Kauai’s world-class beaches such as Hanalei, Poipu, Lydgate Beach Park, Kalapaki, or discover one on your own.  Take time to walk, run, or bike on the Ke Ala Hele Makālae trail, which means “The path that goes by the coast” passes along the ocean side of Pono Kai.  The trail won the 2024 Hall of Fame Trail award by the Rails to Trails Conservancy.

Come experience the beauty and laid-back charm of Kauai at the Unbeatable Oceanfront Condo. Paradise is waiting!

Very nice!

Our stay was very nice! The property had a fully stocked kitchen with a dishwasher. The living room was very comfortable and nicely decorated. The deck had a beautiful view of the bay and the turtles even visited us in the bay! The bed and pillows were comfortable as well. Definitely recommend staying here.Thank you!

Great location

Been to Kauai half a dozen times and stayed mostly in the Poipu area. This condo in Kapaa is in a great location and has everything you need for your stay, especially the view.

Perfect Kapa’a Getaway

This upstairs condo is a wonderful corner unit overlooking the ocean. The laid back location is within an easy walk to the beach, restaurants, shops, bike rentals and multi-use path. Portable fans provide extra cooling if needed. The club house offers beach and pool towels and other services. We hope to stay here again.

Wonderful spot

The views from this condo are picture perfect. Wonderful corner unit overlooking the ocean, the Kapa’a beach trail and palm trees. The condo is perfectly equipped, including extras like beach chairs. The Pono Kai Resort is well-maintained, friendly staff and within easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. The sunrise view from the deck was a great way to start the day.

Can I beat the Ocean view from Kapaa

The ocean front view is outstanding. The property has all the technology and entertainment that one needs. My only recommendation is that it was not thoroughly clean when I arrived. Overall, it looked good but once I looked into the corners and the floor, I could see that they were not touched. I also had to call maintenance to fix the screen door because it was almost impossible to move. That should’ve been checked before I arrived other than that it was an outstanding stay at a very good property.

Right next to the ocean!

If you like the ocean this condo is the place to be! We liked that the condo was an end unit on the third floor, so no disturbances from neighbors. The Pono Kai Resort is very clean, well maintained, and the staff are friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the free coffee in the reception area, the putting greens, the gym, and the pool area. Being so close to downtown Kapa’a was fun and very convenient. We rented bikes and rode the entire length of the bike path, which was in good shape. The only reason that we didn’t give 5 stars was because some parts of the condo were not very clean and felt a bit run down. The bathroom cabinet is cracked, and the paintwork around the front door handle looks like it has not been cleaned in ages. The floor behind the bed is very dusty. The whole condo needs a deep clean.

Ok stay.

We were in a pinch for a place to stay due to canceled flights. Check in was confusing as no communication with listing till after we did it in person and had the run around. Then items onsite were pay per day. Our last place was free and 1/2 the price a night. Overall it was an expensive hotel with a kitchen and a view. Nothing more.
