NOTE: Starting April 5th Kauai is open again for travel with only one covid pre-test! Hurry dates are booking fast!
Imagine sitting on your lanai watching the sunrise, ocean, and waves hitting the beach 75 FEET away! This is what a Hawaiian vacation is all about!
Welcome to "The Big Pono Aloha" our private condo at the Pono Kai Resort and your home away from home while you visit the beautiful area of Kappa Town on the Coconut Coast in beautiful Kauai.
"The Big Pono Aloha" has everything you need for the perfect stay. Aloha!. :) - This is Joel and Tamara and we are brand new owners of this wonderful condo which we have decided to call "The Big Pono Aloha".
A few years ago we stayed in this condo for a month and fell in love and as fate would have it we bought it! :)
Now we get to share our home with you! This has been an active vacation rental for years and now is under new ownership. So even though the VRBO listing is new, hundreds of satisfied guests have enjoyed their stay at "The Big Pono Aloha".
In May of 2019 we did a major renovation to the condo including new flooring, fixtures, paint, AC and so much more.
Complete Amenities: Full kitchen, dining room, living room, private lanai, 2 large bedrooms, 2 large bathrooms with private entries, pool, hot tub, spa, tennis, exercise room, volleyball, BBQ grills, FREE WiFi, 3-mile bike path along the ocean and FREE PARKING!
Don't waste money on an expensive hotel room for $300-$400 a night! Hotel rooms are small and expensive!
"The Big Pono Aloha" is well BIG! Most people say it's located in the best spot at the Pono Kai.
You are on the second floor so you get AMAZING views and nobody above you plus there are elevators for easy access.
This condo comfortably sleeps 2-6 people in the beds! No inconvenient living room hide-a-bed. The master bedroom has a king-size bed and private bathroom/vanity (sleeps 2).
The second bedroom has a queen bed PLUS a twin bunk bed (sleeps 4 easily), TV, and private access to the 2nd bathroom. A coin-operated laundry room is just down the hall, steps away for easy access.
Elevator access makes for easy coming and going. Walk seventy-five feet to a sandy beach, pool, hot tub, beautifully manicured gardens, tennis courts, a croquet court, barbecue/picnic areas, volleyball, fitness center, and shuffleboard. Take a short walk from the resort for great island boutique shopping, food, and recreation in historic Kapaa.
There are three portable AC units for your convenience in the bedrooms and kitchen however most guests don't need them due to the refreshing ocean breezes.
Ceiling fans in Kitchen, Living Room, and both Bedrooms for additional air circulation. Authentic Hawaiian Oceanfront living.

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.

We had the most INCREDIBLE stay at this condo! The beach view does not get any better than this! It is also spacious with a full kitchen (which saved us a lot of money on food), has VERY comfortable beds, two large bathrooms and a comfortable living area to relax after long days in the sun! We loved having the AC units available if we needed them. This host was great at communication and has truly thought of and provided everything needed to have a great vacation! We really enjoyed having Tommy bahama beach chairs and beach umbrellas, beach towels, boogie boards and sand toys all provided by the host. We have had to rent those items in the past on trips to Kauai and it can be pricey, so we really loved having them available and ready to use! We used them everyday. One thing to keep in mind is that because this is a private rental, the resort does not provide pool towels, so bring the beach towels from the condo when you hit the pool! We loved the pool and hot tub. The resort itself is breathtaking. It has hammocks all around the resort for lounging, along with games , BBQ’s and other things to do. We enjoyed the nice little beach right outside the condo that we went to when we didn’t want to drive to another beach. You can’t beat this spot! Our stay here was by FAR our favorite visit to Kauai and a lot of that credit goes to this condo being close to shops and beaches and the host providing everything we needed and more! We will absolutely be back for another stay here!

My mom and I recently stayed at the Big Pono Aloha, and had a great experience. The location of the resort and the resort itself were perfect. It's super easy to walk to anything you need in Kapa'a from the condo, and the beachfront walkway is right outside your door.
We had a couple issues during our stay that were quickly resolved by the on island management team and the property owner. Despite the problems, I'd stay again and recommend the property to my friends and family.

Well maintained and a comfortable home to stay in. Property was well kept with constant maintenance to upkeep, all staff were polite and helpful. Did not have all the amenities because we rented through VRBO but the house was equipped with what we needed (pool towels). Location can’t be beat, view was impressive. Would definitely stay here again.
