The Neighborhood:

The condo is located at Pono Kai Resort in the historic town of Kapaa on Kauai. Kapaa offers a charming small-town feel, and the resort is within easy walking distance of local restaurants, boutiques, shops, and grocery stores. If you’re visiting on the first Saturday of the month, don’t miss the town’s lively event featuring live music, local crafts, and great food.



Bicycle rentals are conveniently located right next door to the resort, and you’ll be just minutes from popular ocean activities such as canoeing, kayaking, and surfing.



Explore some of Kauai’s most beautiful beaches, all within about a 30-minute drive, including Lydgate Beach Park, Kalapaki Beach, Kealia Beach, and Poipu Beach.



Just steps from the resort, you can walk, run, or bike along the scenic Ke Ala Hele Makalae as it winds along the Pacific coastline. This beloved trail has even been recognized in the Hall of Fame by the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy. A must-experience during your stay!



Getting Around:

Kapaʻa is centrally located on the east side of Kauaʻi, making it a convenient home base for exploring the island. While there are shops, restaurants, and beaches within walking or biking distance, we highly recommend renting a car to fully experience everything Kauaʻi has to offer.



The resort is about a 15-minute drive from Līhuʻe Airport, and easy access to Kuhio Highway allows you to explore both the North Shore (Princeville, Hanalei) and South Shore (Poʻipū) with ease. For a more local experience, the Ke Ala Hele Makalae coastal bike path runs right along the ocean and is perfect for walking, jogging, or biking.



Ride-sharing services and taxis are available but can be limited, especially in the evenings. If you prefer not to drive, there is also a local bus system, though routes and schedules may be less frequent.



Other Things to Note:

We have full on site service staff including housekeeping, maintenance, guest services and concierge. Should any issues arise during your stay please reach out to the front desk for assistance.



Interaction with Guests:

A phone is provided in each room with the direct extensions to on-site staff. Please use the phone in your room if you have any questions or issues with the condo. Messaging through Airbnb will go to our corporate office located in Florida. That is a 5-6 hour time difference, so utilizing the on site staff is highly recommended. They are they to serve you.
The condo is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a sofa bed, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Phil and Marilyn I.

When we arrived, the walls around the doors and light switches eere, so I washed then down myself. There were not enough dishes in the unit(6 plates, 6sauces, etc) necessitating hand-washing dishes between meals or running a mostly empty dishwasher. There are no small-medium storage dishes. The only skillet does not have a flat bottom. We were provided only two each of towels and washclothes for a whole week. There were dead flies on the bedroom window sill. On a positive note, maintenance was quick to respond when the slider door needed repair. All the people we encountered.were friendly, helpful and responsive

Nice resort stay with a full kitchen

We enjoyed the condo at Pono Kai. Helpful staff, nice amenities like tennis, pool and hot tub. We cook a lot so it was nice to have a kitchen. Not a ton of dishes and accessories, but enough to cook several meals. Overall - a very nice place for the money.

Great place & location

This VRBO was perfect from my girlfriend and I. We felt right at home being able to cook, watch movies and hang by the pool when we wanted. It’s also in a very central area with lots to do in a walking distance. We enjoyed this place very much and will def look to stay here again. Highly recommended!

Another amazing condo stay

We have stayed at Pono Kai for over 15 years and always love it. Normally we have the kids with us and get a 2 bedroom. This time we didn’t take the kids, so we rented the 1 bedroom with Murphy bed in the parlor. To say we were pleased is an understatement. The condo was spacious, clean and the air conditioner worked great. Russ our host was INCREDIBLE with communication and we extended our stay there as we loved it that much. It is hard having family come visit for dinner as the resort itself only always registered guests in the pool area so be aware of that rule. Recommend this condo 100%

Right in the middle of Paradise

Pono Kai is a great location on Kauai. Lots of things to do close to where you are. We stayed 7 days and didn't use a full tank of gas. Yet we were doing something everyday! The lighthouse at kileaua, bike path, Smith family luau, Capt Andy's star BBQ coastline Cruise, Wailau kayak adventure, and one day enjoying the facilities @ Pono Kai & Beach! Love every minute celebrating my wife's birthday week! Mahalo!

The place has outdated furniture from the 70’s, the overall experience was good. The place was clean, the closet and slider were not working when arrived but were fixed right away. The hallways were having the flooring removed which were moldy smelling. But the hallways should be better in the future.
