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.

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!

We have stayed at Pono Kai for over 15 years and always love it. Normally we have the kids with us and get a 2 bedroom. This time we didn’t take the kids, so we rented the 1 bedroom with Murphy bed in the parlor. To say we were pleased is an understatement. The condo was spacious, clean and the air conditioner worked great. Russ our host was INCREDIBLE with communication and we extended our stay there as we loved it that much. It is hard having family come visit for dinner as the resort itself only always registered guests in the pool area so be aware of that rule. Recommend this condo 100%

Pono Kai is a great location on Kauai. Lots of things to do close to where you are. We stayed 7 days and didn't use a full tank of gas. Yet we were doing something everyday! The lighthouse at kileaua, bike path, Smith family luau, Capt Andy's star BBQ coastline Cruise, Wailau kayak adventure, and one day enjoying the facilities @ Pono Kai & Beach! Love every minute celebrating my wife's birthday week! Mahalo!

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.

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.

The property was beautiful and very conveniently located. The multiple Kauai alarm clocks were helpful to keep us on track.
