The condo was perfect for our family. We love the ground floor so the kids can easily access the pool area from the lanai. Short walk to restaurants, food trucks, and convenience stores. Communication was excellent, and they were very accommodating.

Kapaa Fun at Pono KI
We had a great time in this condo and at the complex. The unit is very close to the pool so we could easily access it when we were not busy with other activities. The mini golf course was a blast and you could play chess on a life size board. Also ping pong, croquet, and pickle ball available. The beach and board walk are a short walk from the condo. The condo had amenities such as beach towels, chairs, and a cooler. Only draw back was bedroom with king bed was a bit toasty so used two fans in it. The condo is within walking distance to many shops. Restaurants, and food trucks. Location is pretty central so easy drive to Lihue, Poipu, and Hanalei. Overall, we had a great time and would stay there again if traveling to Kauai. Mahalo!

Very nice condo.
This is an excellent unit for a family. The Pono Kai grounds are beautiful and this unit is very close to the pool. Our kids enjoyed feeding the fish in the Koi pond every morning. The property manger was a delight to work with. I would highly recommend this unit and I hope to return soon.

What I wish I knew
Good: the respite is great. Very clean, kind staff, clean pool, lots of fun games. The A/C worked really well. Bad:I’ve never been told that I get one roll of toilet paper for an 8 day stay, that was new to me. The room with the two beds smelled like pee. The towels smelled mildewy. The kitchen is very minimally stocked. We needed up buying salt and pepper since that wasn’t on site. There is no Tupperware, no baggies, no plastic wrap or tinfoil if needed. There was however alcohol in the fridge (so weird). There was sand underneath our fitted sheet, so you could feel it, but not sweep it out of the bed. The attached bathroom had a metal drain cover that wasn’t attached. The bathroom fan has barely works, making the room very humid (thus the mildew smell I think).Don’t try and check in early, as the colds won’t work until 3.The island is amazing though! This was our 4th visit and we have had much better experiences at other rentals, so I’m not sure I would recommend unless you rent with someone else, who is more mindful of their property. The smell was the worst part!

Excellent location on Kauai
Our family of 4 stayed 9 nights. The condo was bigger than we expected with lots of space and one extra bed than what we thought. This was a great surprise which allowed the kids to have their own beds for the trip.We arrived late at night, but the check-in process was seamless. Communication was excellent and all information was provided ahead of time.The condo was well stocked and we ended up eating most breakfasts & dinners in the condo to save money. Costco was a quick 15-20 minute drive away, and other grocery stores were close to pick up essentials.The unit provided 4 beach chairs, beach towels and a cooler, which we used every day. Kapa'a was centrally located for 1/2 day trips to the north side (Hanalei), south side (Poipu) and west (Waimea Canyon). We spent time at two great beaches within a few minutes drive - Lydgate and Kealia - in addition to others around the island (Anini, Poipu, Brennecke's, Lawa'i). The snorkeling at Lawa'i Beach was one of the highlights as it was like swimming in an aquarium!The location of the actual condo had some positives & negatives. We really enjoyed the ground floor unit as it was nice to walk out the lanai to access the pool and grass areas. Parking was also very convenient. The downside was that the lanai was right next to a main path to the pool, the outdoor chessboard and the putting green, so there were times when we had little privacy when sitting outside.We really enjoyed our stay. TY!

Work stay
Place was nice just enough space for the 5 of us. Full kitchen so cooked to save from going out or just having something to eat when every place closes early. Check in was simple and reaching out to ask for early check in went well. Overall good experience
