I wish the condo had a up to date property manual. The one that is there has miss information or outdated information. For example information on operation of cable TV, the info on pool usage is incorrect.

The property is a bit dated. The grounds are kept well. The unit was a little shabby, especially the bathrooms. The bedrooms are large, but the living area is smaller than the pictures make it look. Our biggest issue was that the door code we were given did not work, so upon arriving late at night, we had to call the property manager and get a code to the lockbox to let a key (that was difficult to use)…and there was only one key, so we could never separate from the friends we were traveling with. But the kicker was when I messaged the manager the same night we arrived, I NEVER heard back from them for the remaining four days we were there. Terrible customer service in my opinion. Think I’ll be avoiding Vacasa rentals in the future. Otherwise the island was beautiful and we’ll be coming back to Kauai soon.

Loved this condo and its central location! Wonderful amenities that were very much appreciated…. Wagon, beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, beach towels, ice maker! And the view was amazing. The manager immediately handled any inquiries or issues! Thank you!!!

It was located right on beach practically. The only thing is be prepared to hike all your luggage a little ways.

We loved everything about this condo! The morning sunrise views are unbelievable!! Condo had everything we needed plus more. We loved the location in Kapa’a, as it was convenient to all parts of Kauai. Would definitely recommend this condo!

The central location was a perfect launchpad for daily excursions to the north and south sides of the island.

The property has been recently remodeled and is in good condition. The ocean views are as advertised. The location is withing walking distance to multiple restaurants and stores. The 7 mile oceanfront multiuse path is definitely a plus for daily walks and bike rides. There is a bike rental shop literally next to the condos and it was nice to find out they had the lowest prices as well. The grounds maintenance crew worked daily to keep the entire property looking very nice. The gas grills were clean and easy to use. The only complaints were the hard to open patio door that had a broken glass pane that had been, hopefully, temporarily fixed with duct tape. The biggest complaint by far is the door lock. The ten character code was impossible to enter on one try and often took 5-10 tries before successfully entering the code. The # keys are way too close together and ultra sensitive making it almost impossible to enter all ten #s without accidentally entering the same # twice or hitting an adjacent #. Door lock definitely needs replace. We aren't the only ones who had a problem opening the door lock as it was mentioned numerous times in the visitor log.

This was our second time here; we love the atmosphere of Kapaa. Our first night was a little rough, we got locked out of our room and had to wait for the rep to arrive. Heather (our rep) was phenomenal, attentive to our questions and needs the entire time. We'll be back, for the allure of Hawaii is magical.

Unit B is as close to the water as you can get. The balcony overlooks the ocean and the five mile paved pathway. The condo has been upgraded within the last few years and everything is nice. There are useful beach chairs and toys. The two bedrooms, both with ensuite, make it comfortable for two couples.

We enjoyed Pona Kai Resort B208 so much. Took my family of 6, including adult children and father to enjoy a week in Kauai to celebrate some big milestones. Our condo was amazing and slept us 6 comfortably. The view from the lanai is breathtaking and the morning sunrises were glorious. We had everything we needed to enjoy the many beautiful beaches including boogie boards, chairs, towels, and even a cooler. We really appreciated not having to go to the store to purchase these items. The condo has been upgraded since the pictures were taken and we were expecting a different sleeping arrangement based on the pictures of the rooms, but it all worked out in the end. We loved Pono Kai and will definitely stay here again!

View and lanai is amazing. Upon every entry after being away for 2 or more hours we would return to a mildew smell. Once windows opened or run AC it would clear in 15-20 minutes. Everyone says the island has that issue everywhere but not true. 2 other places we stayed this trip did not have that problem right in the water. Carpet in bedrooms likely the cause of the issue. Great beach Geer. Painful long walk from the parking especially if carrying lots of stuff too.
