Clean condo with comfortable furniture. The AC and fans helped to regulate the temperature perfectly. The owner provided everything we needed for the beach - that was a pleasant surprise. Would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful ocean view & location close to shopping & restaurants. Walking distance was nice. Place was clean, organized, & stocked well for what we needed. Plenty of towels etc and loved the natural hygiene products that were here for use. Furniture could be more comfy for those spending more time at the place but would still recommend.

This place is gorgeous! It is just as pictured and described with a couple of bonuses. The condo was spotless, the A/C works great, and the kitchen had everything we needed in it - and we cooked everyday.I really appreciated the ease of communication with Kauai Vacation Rentals. Overall, the condo was wonderful and a great value. We will certainly stay again. Bonus: The main bath closet was stocked with everything we needed for the beach (and more). This saved us time and money from having to rent it elsewhere. When we were there this included beach chairs and mats, sun umbrellas, wagon, bogie boards, and a perfectly-sized small cooler.

Great property. In the middle of the east side of the island the location gives 30-45 minutes drive to the Princeville (north side) of the island or the south side. This unit was very clean. The resort is simple and not grand but relaxing. The view from the balcony and unit is just as it shows in the pictures. The air conditioning worked great. Only downside is while there is laundry it’s not in the unit, there is a shared laundry facility at 1.50 a load and the machines are a little dated. Not a grand resort but the location was great and this unit itself was VERY nice. We will rent again if we have the opportunity to return. Property is on the sunrise side of the island

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Spectacular in every way! Location, location, location! Right in the heart of Kapaa and walkable to all points of interest. Being on the bike path was a definite plus. For those concerned with too much foot or bike traffic, it's not an issue. This was our 5th time on Kauai but first stay at Pono Kai. Spoiler alert - it won't be our last! This particular unit was very clean, spacious, and has everything you need for your stay. The master bedroom has unforgettable sunrises every morning. Do yourself a favor and don't hesitate to book this unit for your stay!

We enjoyed our stay at Pono Kai A201. This is a recently remodeled two bedroom two bathroom condo. Perfect for our family of four with plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The balcony overlooks the ocean as does the master bedroom. And the location of the condo is protected from the high winds in Kapaa. We appreciated the split AC units during the night. Although there aren’t any laundry machines in the unit, they are nearby in the complex.Thank you!

This property was in a good location, on the beach, with a sidewalk along the beach. It was a short walk along the beach walking path to Kapaa restaurants and shops. Safeway was a short drive away, and Kapaa was a central location for exploring the island. The apartment rental was as advertised. Very comfortable. We could see the sun rise every morning from our balcony.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo is perfect for a Kapaa stay. The oceanfront view is spectacular and close enough to be lulled to sleep by the ocean yet far enough off the bike trail. The condo is extraordinarily clean, roomy and comfortable! Well appointed with great beach gear. Comfortable beds and the air was very nice to have on humid nights in August. Walking distance to food and sundries. The grounds are beautiful with lots to do there (pool, croquet, volleyball, fire pits, koi pond etc). The only thing we’d add would be a few basic spices for cooking!

Overall, the condo was very nice and clean. The only exception were the bathroom mats that were dirty. I had to use the towels as floor mats. The condo came with beach chairs, umbrella, towels, and few other items that we didn’t use. The view was nice and right off the boardwalk.

The rug by the kitchen sink is a tripping hazard for senior citizens like us.

Check in was easy. Condo was clean and beds were very comfortable. View was amazing! Location, steps from the beach and walking path along the shore was perfect for daily sunrise watching. A/C was nice to have, but not needed much due to island breeze. Appreciated beach chairs, cooler, and boogie boards in the unit!

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location was fabulous. Located on the East coast both the North and South shore were a short drive away. The bike path outside our unit provided a wonderful morning walk. With an ocean front condo we were disappointed with the obscure sliding glass door. We could only enjoy the views when the slider was fully open. Unfortunately we had stromy weather on two of our days and the rains were so strong along with a hole in our porch gutter, our porch flooded and flowed into our living room. Thus we were required to keep our slider close and our beautiful ocean view was completely obscured. What a bummer!

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Not air conditioned, room was stinking hot when we walked in the evening, infested w/flies. Took an hour to kill them and they still kept coming in. AC was the main purpose we rented the place. I was traveling with an elderly.
