Rental Details
Property Overview
Aloha and Welcome to "The Big Pono Aloha!"
Imagine sitting on your private lanai watching the sunrise, smelling the salt air, and listening to the waves hitting the beach just 75 FEET away. This is what a Hawaiian vacation is all about.
We have just installed brand new mini-split wall AC units throughout the condo! Enjoy the tropical breeze or cool down in comfort.
Why Choose "The Big Pono Aloha"? Most condos make someone sleep on an uncomfortable living room sofa bed. Not here.
We sleep 6 people in REAL beds.
Master Suite: King-size bed + private bathroom/vanity (Sleeps 2).
Guest Room: Queen bed + Twin Bunk Bed + private bathroom access (Sleeps 4).
Top Floor Privacy: You are on the second floor (accessible by elevator), meaning you get the best ocean views and no noisy neighbors walking above you.
The Space We are Joel and Tamara. We stayed in this exact condo years ago, fell in love with it, and bought it! Now, we invite you to make it your home away from home on the famous Coconut Coast in beautiful Kapaa.
The unit is spacious ("Big" is in the name for a reason!), featuring a full kitchen, dining room, and large living area. Don't waste money on tiny hotel rooms when you can spread out here.

Perfect sunrise view, all necessities in the kitchen plus the beach chairs and boogie boards were great to have!!
A lovely condo located on the beach!! Very well equipped with beach toys and even golf clubs… and the pool and other amenities at the Pono Kai resort were outstanding too! Beds, bedding towels and kitchen supplies were excellent!We hope to stay again!
Great ocean views, condo was clean. Agreat location with plenty of places to shop and eat nearby. We would stay again!
Overall this was a great place for my family. We liked the area and it’s within walking distance of a lot of eating and shopping options. It’s in a good spot to access both the north and south shores of the island. The unit is on the second (top) floor and there was no noise from any other inhabitants. The resort grounds were well maintained with a lot of different things to do - tennis, croquet, giant chess, etc. The pool was a hit with the kids in the evenings. They let kids feed the koi fish every morning.Cons: the front door lock was fairly finicky, there was a code but the mechanism would stick and sometimes not unlock the door.FYI each building has its own coin operated laundry so you may have to wait on others when washing and drying clothes.
Fantastic condo and in a great location. Couldnt ask for a better place to stay with family on Kauai!
Enjoyed our week long stay at the Pono Kai resort. Only issue we had was with the keyless entry since directions on outside of the door wasn’t clear but email instructions from owner helped.
The place seemed more spacious than we expected, and the view was awesome. This is a great location and is walking distance to downtown Kapaa.
Super beautiful clean resort with lots of amenities!
This condo is in beautiful Pona Kai Resort with full use of equipment and facilities. Watch the sunrise over the ocean from patio or bedroom. We enjoyed walking along the ocean walkway every morning. Centrally located in Old Town Kapaa
This condo was perfect. The description was exactly what it was. It was so clean and had everything you would need. The view was incredible to just relax and watch the waves. Got to see several whales go by. We brought binoculars which helped. You will not regret renting this property.
This place was perfect for our family of 4. The condo was very spacious and was bigger than expected. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was perfect for making meals at home. The view was amazing and sunrises sublime. The location was great if you plan to visit both south and north sides so that you are located in between. The Pono Kai resort was good. Amenities were adequate. You have go to the front desk to check out things like ping pong paddles, croquet set, etc and they close at 6 so we had wished that it was possible to do some of these things after 6. That was our only comment but it is no fault of the condo owner, just an odd resort policy. The resort and grounds were nicely kept. We would stay here again. Thank you for sharing it with us.
We loved our stay at Pono Kai. The location was perfect for exploring all parts of the island. The town of Kapaa has lots of shops & good eats. The sea breeze coming in through the window every morning and night was perfect. There was no need for AC. Very clean and check in/check out were very easy. Would definitely stay again!
Beach front! Fit my family of 5 great. Had all the beach accessories we needed.
Our stay was perfect. Lots of activities for kids and the beach was nice.
The view from this property was worth every penny!!!
Very nice property. We stayed here with grandparents, kids, and grandkids. Six of us in total. Beautiful ocean view and everything we needed for a fun time on the island. Great location. Close to restaurants and grocery stores.
Great location! Hosts super communicative and easy to work with. . Mahalo!
View was amazing. Condo could use some TLC otherwise the condo was well stocked. Close to shops in Kapaa. Overall loved our vacation.
This place was amazing! It was in an amazing location on a resort with lots of things to do and access to so many things around us! The condo had everything we needed and more for our stay. Highly recommend this place.
The week at Pono Kai was awesome. The condo is spacious and has a lot of amenities. The location is perfect for teens who want to venture shopping on their own. Would love to stay there again!
My wife and three young adult daughters stayed for a week over Christmas. Really enjoyed going to sleep at night listening to the waves, having morning coffee on the lanai with the beautiful sunrise, the great beach access, the walkway and short walk to local shops and restaurants in Kapaa. Was a great space and central location to enjoy Kauai! Would highly recommend.
