About this property

Kauai - Top Floor/Beach Front Condo at Pono Kai Resort in Kapaa -Tax Included

LOCATION, LOCATION – the best way to enjoy your stay is in a 3rd (top) floor beachfront condo like Building B at the Pono Kai Resort. Leave the lanai curtains open and enjoy the sound of waves on the beach, feel the trade wind breeze, and watch the sun rise each morning. Our condo faces east and outsiders cannot observe the occupants. Unit is accessible by stairs or elevator. The Pono Kai Resort is located in the town of Kapaa on 13 tropical acres. This family oriented resort has many daily activities and complimentary equipment for all, including: outdoor Jacuzzi, large pool, indoor sauna, multiple propane barbecues, picnic tables, tennis court, volleyball court, shuffleboard, putting green, bocce ball, ping pong, and croquet court. Feed the fish in the Japanese Koi pond. Take a short walk to 'Baby Beach', a protected ocean pool for toddlers to enjoy the ocean. Our condo features free WiFi internet access, two TV's, CD & DVD players, music & video library. Our kitchen is well equipped. If you like to cook, you'll be happy. PARKING IS FREE.

2025 UPDATE: Pool and hot tub area will be closed for remodeling for approximately 3 months during Sep, Oct, and Nov 2025.

A new popular 8-mile oceanfront path is a wonderful place to walk, jog or bike. The Pono Kai Resort is within walking distance of supermarkets, drug stores, banks and a variety of restaurants. Because of this, some guests rent a car for only one week during their multi week stays.

NOTE: Best ocean view. Fully equipped kitchen. Quality portable beach chairs and ice chests. Condo has not been remodeled. Pictures are accurate, but no recessed lighting or wide screen TV. No A/C but good trade winds. Not recommended If you are heat sensitive. Our queen size bed is a soft pillow top. $195/night INCLUDES ALL TAXES, our pre-tax rate is only $166.

Sehr schönes Appartement mit kleinen Schönheitsfehlern
Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt im Appartement welches im Pono Kai Resort verortet ist. Die Aussicht ist traumhaft. Das Appartement ist jedoch ein wenig in die Jahre gekommen und bedarf hier und da einer Überholung (z.b. Badarmaturen). Das Appartement war sehr sauber und die Dame, die sich vor Ort darum kümmert war außerordentlich nett. Alles in Allem gute 4 Sterne! Danke.

Disappointed
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.

50th Wedding Anniversary
A truly fabulous top floor location with an unobstructed ocean view. Married on Oahu 50 years ago and visiting often since this was our first visit to Kauai. We will be coming back and hope we can book this spot again...definitely a gem. Mahalo for sharing with us. We now start our next 50 years.

Perfect Stay
Harley and Anna offer a wonderful experience in this beautiful property. It is just off of the bike path and perfectly positioned to watch the sun rise from the balcony. The property is equipped everything you need to stay on property or venture out for a day at the beach. We celebrated our 25 anniversary here and loved every minute of our stay. Mahalo Harley and Anna!

Owner will NOT communicate with you.
Property is dated but we knew that going in. What we didn’t know was that the dishwasher was NOT working and for three days we went without one. Then we spent almost two full days in our condo while they attempted to replace the dishwasher with a new one. The microwave has some sort of electrical malfunction going on in behind the control panel and it “Zaps & Sparks”, was able to take a video to send to owner and manager. The owner was unwilling to compensate us for any of our inconvenience and loss of time while on our holidays. For that reason alone, we will NEVER rent B-306 again!

Beautiful oceanfront view
Great unit right on the oceanfront ! The view was amazing and we listened to the waves every night as we went to bed . Very well equipped condo and had everything we need to make us comfortable for our stay . We loved the path out front and rented bicycles to go from end to end . Lovely ride . Great location as we were able to walk to town easily to get a bite or groceries we needed . Had a nice pool as well as other options like horse shoes , corn hole or putting greens . Would definitely recommend this condo and the complex itself !

Great location
This condo is in a great location for getting around the island easily. We drove to the North Shore, the Waimea Canyon, the south side—all easy drives. The town of Kapa’a was charming and we walked to many of the restaurants and shops. The wide sidewalk outside the unit was a great place to walk and see the beautiful ocean and beaches. The beach outside the condo was adequate for the little bit of beach time that we wanted. The view from the beachfront balcony was great. The condo is a bit worn, and the bed’s foam topper is way too soft for our taste, but all in all it was a nice place to stay. We really didn’t miss the AC with the doors open and the fans going. The owner and property manager were very accommodating and allowed a late checkout since we had a late flight out.

Very nice condo--but...
We had to call the local property manager every day we were there because of a toilet that wouldn't flush. Also, no one mentioned the extra lever on the door; because it looked like a dead bolt, the condo was actually unlocked part of the time.

ITS ALL ABOUT THE VIEW
If you are in need of excellent value, and would love a great ocean view, you definitely want to consider this unit at Pono Kai! Yes it needs updating, and more attention to some details, but those things are quite easily overlooked once you have the chance to take in the view from the lanai. We enjoyed our stay, and would definitely stay again.

Very Good Property! Best in reality than in pictures!
We spend 3 nights and loved this property. Exceeded our expectations!!!! Pictures in Vrbo doesn't show as good as it is!!!! Just 2 little things to improve: 1) bath towels: have too much polyester, so they doesn't dry very well in this humid weather. 2) We ask Brenda for a phone to make a local one for a car rental (we are from abroad and didn´t have cell phone coverage), she told us to give us the machine because it wasn´t in the unit, but she didn´t. I contact the owner the day after because it was urgent (we needed to contact a car rental urgently), and told me by e mail that the property does not have a phone (so Brenda is not updated?). 3) Concierge/Front Desk Pono Kai Resort: despite I knew they have nothing to do with de managing of the unit (very clear explained in the check in instructions), I went to ask for a phone to make a local phone call. The person who assisted me was really disappointing...... Where was the "Aloha Spirit"???? Awful experience with Pono Kai Front Desk! they seem to be public employees..... Despite all of this, I recommend the property!

Week long stay
Great location being on east side. The place is very outdated but it's fine for sleeping in. The first night was pure hell as it was so hot in here from being closed up. Once we got the place aired out it wasn't as bad. We slept with windows and patio door open with screen closed to let in air. Everything is rusted, carpet is old. Things are old. Would Have been nice to have extra sheets for my mom who had to sleep on the couch. Also there was one roll of toilet paper which wasn't much for a week. The microwave had small plastic chips flaking off all over the stove. The picture of them in the hallway is a bit creepy but I got over it. Also the soap was literally water in it. They could do a but better with that. Overall good place to stay. I loved having the ocean view ND I ran each morning. Stupid that the exercise room didn't open until 8 because I'm up at 5 to work out and gone by 8.

Da Best Home Away From Home
What a beautiful property! No beating around the bush with this property, everything that is pictured and described in the description for this property is to the point. Truly a home away from home. Was able to entertain individual local friends or families comfortably, cooking meals in the room. Internet was great as I was working remotely, CA time. A beautiful office away from the office at home watching the sunrise every morning, what else can you ask for! Returning again! Complaints about it being hot and no AC? Yes when all doors/windows are shut but simply open them up and fresh air bursts in and cool da place up. Yes it needs upgrading, but that's the character about this place and I do agree, a sofa bed is due as I prefer sleeping in living room w/sliding door open listening to the waves...When the owner is ready to upgrade, it will be even homier...Love it and returning next year!

About the host

Hosted by Anna Daddazio and Harley Gee

Host profile image
We're a retired San Francisco couple who enjoy traveling, sailing, and golfing.

Why they chose this property

We rented this condo from the prior owners for over 15 years. It's the best condo in the best location. We like the people of Kapaa and always feel right at home. Kapaa is only 7.6 miles from the Lihue Airport and is located mid way between Poipu and Princeville, which are on opposite ends of the main highway.

What makes this property unique

Our east facing condo is only a stone's throw from the beach. Because it's on the 3rd floor, the unobstructed view from the living room is of the ocean and the tops of a few palm trees. We never close the curtains because we're too high for anyone to see in. We enjoy watching the sunrise and feeling the trade winds. We're away from the general foot traffic. Few people use the 8 mile bike path or beach near the condo. If you don't like crowds, this is the place. Well equipped kitchen. All necessary dishes, glasses and utensils. Many pots, pans and appliances including blender, Belgian waffle maker and George Foreman grill.
