About this property
Summary:
Make the beach the easy part of the day at this two-bedroom Pono Kai Resort condo in Kapaa, where the lanai is just steps from the shore. Sleeping six, it gives a family or friends a comfortable place to reset between beach time, town dinners, and coastal bike rides. The resort's landscaped oceanfront setting puts a shared pool close by, while the full kitchen, cable TV, and WiFi make time indoors simple. Historic Kapaa's restaurants, shops, and coffee stops are within easy reach, and the Ke Ala Hele Makalae path offers miles of shoreline for walking or biking. Beach essentials mean you can head out without much fuss, then return to a home with room to share a meal and the day's stories. It is a relaxed East Side base for guests who value a genuine beach-first location.
The Space:
This two-bedroom condo sleeps six and keeps the essentials straightforward: a full kitchen for family meals, a flatscreen TV, WiFi, and beach gear ready for the short walk to the sand. The home does not have air conditioning. The generous layout gives your group a practical, comfortable place to come back to after a day outside.
Guest Access:
Guests at Pono Kai Resort enjoy access to the shared pool, hot tub, gym, and BBQ areas, along with an elevator and beautifully landscaped, beachfront grounds. On site parking and laundry facilities are available, and the beach is just steps from your unit.
The Neighborhood:
Pono Kai Resort is set on Kapaa's oceanfront, near the town's restaurants, coffee shops, galleries, and small stores. The Ke Ala Hele Makalae path runs along the nearby coast for a stroller-friendly walk or an easy bike ride, while Wailua River kayaking and East Side farmers markets give you simple outing options. This is Kapaa at its most convenient: beach access close by, a local town feel, and enough to do without filling every hour.
Getting Around:
Kapaa sits along Kauai's Royal Coconut Coast, about 15 to 20 minutes from Lihue Airport. A rental car is recommended for exploring the island, though the main strip along Kuhio Highway is walkable, with beaches, shops, restaurants, and the popular coastal path all within easy reach on foot. Grocery stores and casual dining are close by. Parking is generally available at condos and along the street, making this an easy, low stress base.

This condo is in a great location - on the island, within the complex and proximity to the beach. It is spacious and well-appointed. That's about as far as the glowing reviews go, though. The apartment itself felt sticky and like it wasn't really clean. Picture frames and shutters had layers of dust, and the secondary bathroom sinks had brown gunk around the overflow holes. Peeling paint, broken shutters, and windows that were not in their tracks gave a feeling of neglect. The unit needs a stick vacuum of some sort, as the floors always felt dirty (there was a broom and dustpan, which were ineffective). Hinges and other metal fasteners were rusty and seemed old. Extra closets were full of maintenance things which would lead one to believe that maintenance was a focus, but things were not well-kept. The new refrigerator/freezer was nice and spacious. There is no pantry. The hair dryer provided for "convenience" is a joke. It barely blows and only cool air. I bought my own at Longs. The fans that were provided offered some relief from the heat but without A/C, it's HOT. We adjusted after a few days but it was rough. The beach that's just steps away is not a beach for "enjoying a day with your kids." The water is very rough and the sand is littered with branches, sticks and logs. It's pretty, but not a beach to play or walk or make sandcastles. Laundry facilities were convenient and sufficient. I would recommend this complex but will not be returning to this particular unit.
Was very clean and the beach was as advertised. No A/C was not a problem as the fans worked perfect.
Condo was good but across from ocean not right on it so if you want to go to ocean you have to come down go from back parking lot and cross the busy street besides that was ok
Greatest location one could find.
Love this location.
Condo was well stocked and clean. Great location to stay on Kauai!
The condo was adequate but a little tired and could use some updates. The pool was closed and unavailable. It took 3 days for Vacasa to call back and address a TV issue that we experienced. The location is great, close to everything with plenty of services close by.
The location is why the high rating. The place has its positives but is older and could use some work. The iron is so old and did not work. The fan in guest room has no remote and hard to figure out. The kitchen was very good and the screen door going out to ocean is very hard to see through. My biggest issue was smell in room like it was just cleaned. Just not a fresh air smell. Having said all this I would stay again but would be nice to have air conditioning
It was nice able to walk right out the door to the beach.
My family and I just love this condo. No AC? No Problem... just open the sliding door and windows and the Sea Breeze will keep you nice and comfy. Well kept grounds, and as mentioned literally 100 paces from the Sand and Ocean. Easy walk into town for Shave Ice, Coffee or just to check out the local scene. We have stayed here probably half a dozen times, and will certainly do so again !
By the beach, wonderful stay! I can feel and smell the breeze. Walking distance to stores and restaurants/food trucks! We had a great time.
Very pleased with our stay. My family and I stayed 7 days and it was Amazing.
What a great visit! You can't beat the location. Close parking, close to the beach and a well-stocked apartment. The unit was clean and spacious. We appreciated the small extras like beach chairs and beach towels. We had good communication with the property management as well. There were a couple of small maintenance items that I alerted the PM too and I received a prompt reply to my email with the assurance things would be looked at by maintenance. None of the housekeeping items were a deal breaker for our stay. We would definitely stay here again!
The View of the Ocean every Morning.
Excellent-Lots of good shopping and restaurants close by
Very comfortable and very nice
