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.

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.
Nice property, clean, family oriented and close to the beach. Central on the island, easy to see the various attractions. Amenities on site and close by. Nice staff at the resort.

Our stay was very relaxing. The condo was close to both the pool and the beach. The community BBQ was just outside our door, which was convenient. We would stay here again.

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!

The property was beautiful and very conveniently located. The multiple Kauai alarm clocks were helpful to keep us on track.
This was the perfect property for me and my daughter (11) for a few days before being joined by my partner! Awesome amenities available, close to the bike path, and walking distance to downtown kapaa. Will definitely book again!
Quick walk to the beach to watch sunrise - everything you needed inside - ending the day in a toasty jacuzzi talking with other out of towners!

All the basics well covered. Enjoyed being able to walk to the town in 3-5 minutes. While we did not have a oceanfront view access to the ocean was excellent.

We are so glad we chose both this apartment and property. It is a comfortable space with everything we needed. The town of Kaap’a turned out to be extremely convenient for exploring all parts of the island and Pono Kai is close to some nice restaurants and shops and being able to walk the path a few steps to the beach from our unit was an extra bonus.

Loved the Suite, convenient 1st floor, parking near entrance, close to beach, pool and walking trail along coast. We stayed over 3 weeks, only downside was the small couch was not a relaxing design. Overall, the resort is excellent, and next time we come back, we would stay again!
Started out BAD, as our room AC was not working. Rhey brought us a potable AC, then mived us to an upgraded room with a ocean view. After that everything was geeat.
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
Pono Kai knows how to streamline your Aloha vacation.
Pono Kai knows how to take the worry out of a vacation. Lots to do on and off property. Did not experience road noise at night, unless emergency vehicles. Most guests respected the quiet time hours. A relaxing stay highly recommended ground floor unit.

The property was clean and the grounds were beautiful and well kept. The kitchen was supplied with the items we needed. The traffic in this area was very heavy.
