Property Description
OCEAN FRONT, one bedroom unit which has been redecorated top to bottom. We chose the total traditional island style with rattan and bamboo...from the furniture to the bamboo drapes, which give the whole place a warm, fresh feeling. We used sand style tile to hide the "beach" sand and dirt. :-)
The new granite counter is called solaris and is a beautiful, sunny gold and browns. This kitchen has been renovated with all new stainless appliances. It is a beautiful gourmet kitchen, where you can prepare a wonderful meal with the view and sound of the ocean as your backdrop. The entire unit has been painted top to bottom...it is also fresh and clean feeling. The old bathtub was removed and replaced with a wonderful rain-shower head and beautiful tile with glossy highlights. The colors simulate the ocean and it is just a great new bathroom - top to bottom. We have put quiet rock throughout on the ceilings and some common walls such as the bathroom and bedroom. We also built a wains-coating wall in the bedroom to also mitigated the sound from the adjoining unit! The curtains in the bedroom are good for total black-out and sound from the path outside. We hope you enjoy all of the upgrades we have incorporated into this ocean-side unit.
The Pono Kai Resort enjoys a fantastic location along the eastern coastline of Kauai, known as the coconut coast, because of the large palm trees that line the coast. From this central location on the island, visitors can easily explore Princeville to the north, Poipu to the south, and other hikes and trails on the island in a timely fashion.
Visitors staying at the Pono Kai Resort will enjoy an assortment of onsite activities such as the onsite pool and hot tub, lighted tennis courts and croquet lawn, shuffleboard, putting green, work-out room, BBQ facilities, and activity desk for booking on-island adventures. Our favorite amenity is easy to access the beachfront paved walking/bike trail that fronts the property and coastline. Explore the scenic trail for miles in each direction.
To enjoy the beautiful sounds and feel the ocean breezes. THIS CONDO DOES HAVE CENTRAL AC. There is a portable unit for the small bedroom, and large ceiling fans and ocean breezes.
We provide everything you need for a day at the beach or hiking, plus we provide new bicycles. You can watch the sun come up from the Lanai...which is a breathtaking experience on the beautiful garden island of Kauai!
We welcome your stay with us! Aloha!

Operating the TV is way too complicated. We needed two remotes to make it work.

Location was fantastic, beachfront with access to a great trail to walk or bike. Centrally located on the island if that’s what you want, and we did. Easy to get to north, south, airport, etc. Quiet, well-maintained complex with good amenities (we only used pool, nothing else). Our door code didn’t work but local manager was easily reachable and helped immediately. Owner didn’t answer a text on an unrelated question until next day so good that there is a local contact. Great shower, kitchen, supplies, etc. The unit and complex grounds were all clean and nice. Only minor suggestions for improvement:Bikes were a nice perk but need some maintenance- rusty chains and gears. Only two beach towels for Kauai where it’s reasonable to expect people will go to beach or pool daily and things take forever to dry. More beach towels!!Bedroom TV with multiple remotes, no instructions, none of them seem to work. One didn’t even have batteries. A DVD player with a single movie and no remote seems silly. Living room furniture is pretty uncomfortable for evening TV sessions.

This was indeed a remarkable treasure on The Garden Isle. It was a perfect stay and I appreciated having such a wonderful option RIGHT ON THE BEACH! The owners were extremely helpful throughout the process. Centrally located and walkable to a lot of great coffee and dining options (and two grocery stores), I hope to be able to return to paradise some day. Mahalo!

I wanted something special for my wife’s birthday and this place exceeded my wildest dreams. Great location, awesome views and very nicely furnished. The owners were fantastic to work with and I look forward to another visit. Highly recommended this unit

We have rented this unit several times. It’s right on the ocean and the bike path so there’s always something to watch. Everything you need is provided and everything is in good condition. We also love funky downtown Kapaa. Mermaids has the best food in town and you can’t go wrong at Pono market for authentic Hawaiian cuisine. Go early as they sell out quickly.

Lena provides so many extras like Kleenex, shampoo and conditioner, soap, ziplocks, laundry soap in addition to beach chairs, cooler snorkel gear and anything else you might need for a beach day. She responded immediately whenever we had any questions. Perfect unit except for the noisy neighbors upstairs on our last night. Stomping around until 2 am. Should have gone upstairs and knocked on their door but just tried to sleep through it.

Super cosy apartment with a breathtaking view to the sea. By a short walk you reach coffee shops and bars.

Loved the Condo! I went with my elderly mom and being on the first floor and having A/C was perfect. Had a comfortable bed and everything we needed. The only negative was the fact that the drinkware took up 3 cupboards (over 50 glasses) so there was no cupboard space for groceries. Other than that, it was perfect.

This was a great place for a visit to Kaua’i. Beautiful unit in a nice resort, with convenient access to the bike path and ocean. The included bikes and beach gear are a nice touch as well. Lots of good local restaurants & food trucks, and the general location is central with easy access to the northern and southern parts of the island.

We've stayed at Pono Kai several times and this unit was the nicest of all having been remodeled and being on the ground level puts the Ocean seconds away and such a beautiful view.

We loved the condo - it was beautiful and the photos don’t do it justice. The place was very clean, the kitchen had everything you would want. The host has thought of everything! And the view was gorgeous! The property was also very nice and well maintained. The location on the island was super convenient for exploring the entire island. We would definitely stay here again!!
