- Gorgeous 18” Italian tile throughout the unit
- Oversized fans in every room
- New LED lights throughout

This amazing unit definitely has a 5 star feel to it for a modest price!

The Pono Kai Resort enjoys a fantastic location along the eastern coastline of Kauai, known as the coconut coast, because of the large palm trees that line the coast. From this central location on the island, visitors can easily explore Princeville to the north, Poipu to the south, and other hikes and trails on the island in a timely fashion.

Visitors staying at the Pono Kai Resort will enjoy an assortment of onsite activities such as the onsite pool and hot tub, lighted tennis courts and croquet lawn, shuffleboard, putting green, work-out room, BBQ facilities, and activity desk for booking on-island adventures. Our favorite amenity is easy to access the beachfront paved walking/bike trail that fronts the property and coastline. Explore the scenic trail for miles in each direction.
To enjoy the beautiful sounds and feel the ocean breezes. THIS CONDO DOES HAVE CENTRAL AC. There is a portable unit for the small bedroom, and large ceiling fans and ocean breezes.

We welcome your stay with us! Aloha!

Great Stay

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.

The best place on the whole island. Very convenient location.

Our stay at this condo was absolutely wonderful! The location couldn’t be better—right next to a stunning ocean beach, offering breathtaking views and easy access. The condo was well-equipped with a fully stocked kitchen, making it convenient to prepare meals. It truly felt like a home away from home. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and can’t wait to return!

Zen Paradise

The condo was lovely and well stocked for cooking onsite. Beautiful view of ocean and loved that we could walk out onto the lanai and across the grass to a small beach. The owner and property manager were very responsive to questions. Kauai is such an amazing island! We would like to stay at this condo again.

Pono Kai Condo

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!

What a great place to stay!

This place was great! We would definitely stay here again! It was very clean. Lots of activities on the grounds (pool, ping pong, corn hole, chest, mini golf). We watched the sunrise the 1st morning and went for a walk in town and got some great coffee. Another morning we enjoyed a bike ride. This place has everything you need (beach towels, beach chairs, boogie boards, cooler w/ ice packs in freezer). The AC worked great! We ate off the porch one night and enjoyed the ocean front scenery.

Beautiful condo, right on the ocean in Kapaa

Absolutely beautiful condo. The owners did a fantastic job decorating!!! Ground floor, just steps to the ocean. So many shops and restaurants to walk to, and the bike path right in front. The owners outdid themselves with stocking the unit with so many wonderful extras. You felt the essence of aloha as soon as you entered. Only 2 things would have made it 110%, did not state that the washer and dryer were coin operated, and around the corner from the unit. And would have liked the guest room to have a queen size bed instead of a full. With 2 grown adults sharing is a bit tight. We used the sofa bed, which was very comfortable! Would stay here again!

Excellent property

This property was very lovely. It was the most stocked condo we have ever rented. It was very clean and spacious. Walking distance to shops and some dining. The only issue we had was maintenance wasn't very helpful. The lights lights were out on the Lanai , so we weren't able to utilize it at night. We like to sit on the Lanai & eat dinner, play cards, etc and we couldn't do that due to no lighting. They had electric candles, but that was not effective for us. We reported the issue several times a day & it took until the last day to get addressed, which was disappointing.

About the host

Hosted by Lena Walker

Host profile image
Lena & Ivan live in Steamboat Springs, Colorado where we enjoy skiing, biking, fishing and all the wonderful out-of-doors activities Colorado has to offer. We love our Kauai get away, as the winters are very long and cold in Steamboat - so we are now officially "Snowbirds". Kauai is our winter home; we first came in 2019 and loved it right away. We love outside activities and Kauai has tons to offer.

Why they chose this property

Why Kapaa Town? The first time we went to Kauai, we stayed in Kapaa, a little beach town on the East side of Kauai. It was perfect. It is centrally located, so you can head any direction, and get there quickly. It has lots of shopping, wonderful restaurants, and it is perfectly quaint.

What makes this property unique

Pono Kai has so much to offer. With a pool, hot tub, tennis courts, boche, croquet putting greens. We love the walking trail right out our Lanai door. And don't forget about the beach and ocean that you can hear and see from the Lanai. It doesn't get any better than that.
