A Welcoming Beachfront 2BR/2BA, Vacation Home, W/D, AC, STEPS TO BEACH!
This is a completely renovated 2 bedroom/2 bath 1,148 sq ft. condo within a stones throw from the beach! When you enter the unit you will be taken aback by the Hawaiian vibes! Open the sliding glass door to the lanai and immediately feel the ocean breeze from the trade winds and smell the fresh saltwater air! The next morning you will awaken to the warm glow of sunrise. Come sit on the lanai with your first cup of coffee and enjoy the views. You are also located right on the walking/bike path called Ke Ala Hele Makalae ('the path that goes by the coast') which travels along the coastline for miles offering spectacular views of the pacific ocean and perhaps some local wildlife.....You'll now know what paradise feels like.
The condo is on the 1st floor in Building A unit 101 at the Pono Kai Resort, within steps of the ocean. You will be lulled to sleep with the gentle sound of the ocean surf. One bedroom features a king bed and the other has a set of twin beds that can be pushed together for a king, and a very comfy "Comfort Cool" gel mattress sofa bed, all creating sleeping spaces to ensure a restful night's sleep. Air conditioning units are in the living room and master bedroom. A portable unit is in the second bedroom for your comfort during the summer months.
The unit has a fully updated kitchen with granite countertops; a new cooktop self-cleaning oven; a full-size microwave oven; dishwasher and tons of cabinet space; and all of the pots/pans/dishes/utensils needed to enjoy a meal. The kitchen is fully equipped, you will not need to worry about running out and buying that essential item to cook with. And if you plan on creating that perfect Hawaiian dinner, or even just a BBQ, spices are available in the kitchen or pick some fresh at the herb garden.
There are new marble floors and a walk-in marble shower in the master bath & a new deep soaking tub in the guest bath. There are all-new window coverings and a comfortable tropical-designed furniture package that includes a queen sleeper sofa bed in the living room with a ComfortCool Gel mattress for that restful sleep after a busy day at the beach! The unit includes a full-size washer/dryer with detergent, which is an unusual feature on-site. There is free wireless WI-FI service and a smart TV in the living room, as well as a TV in each bedroom. There are amenities galore to lighten your luggage weight. Large beach & pool towels/beach chairs/ beach coolers/ boogie boards/ beach umbrellas, hair dryers/ hand soap, shampoo, lotion, conditioner, and shower gel/ iron/ are all provided. There is even a pack & play and a booster seat if needed for a baby/toddler.
You will find your condo in the beautiful Pono Kai Resort with 12 acres of meticulously manicured grounds with NO added resort or parking fees, but includes a pool, hot tub, koi ponds, a guest-accessible herb garden, croquet, mini-golf putting green, pickle-ball, fitness room, propane-gas BBQs, community fireplaces with seating areas to enjoy the evening and meet new friends and other amenities. It is in the historic town of Kapa'a, centrally located on the East Side of Kauai between Poipu and Hanalei. It is convenient to all of the Garden Isle attractions; is only 20 minutes from Lihue Airport and walking distance from many restaurants, grocery, and fun shops and stores, but don't forget to visit the local food trucks for some absolutely delicious local eats!
The resort itself provides free parking and the parking for the "A" building is right out front of your door. For your convenience, the front desk is open 24 hrs and there is an activities/concierge desk in the lobby so you can arrange your island adventures or just pick out a good book from the credenza under the big screen TV and enjoy it on a hammock near the beach.
We require a minimum age of 25 years or older to rent. Proof of age may be requested at the time of rental. Children accompanied by their parents are welcome. This perfect property offers a quaint and phenomenal experience for guests. Your stay will be nothing short of exceptional. Make your holiday one to always remember with "E KOMO MAI KAUAI........THE OPEN ARMS THAT GREET YOU WITH ALOHA IN KAUAI"....!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Our hosts were great and responded immediately to all of our needs and questions, and were so helpful with suggestions and recommendations. The resort was amazing with so many activities available and the staff were all friendly and accommodating. Awesome vacation!
Dave and Nancy were very responsive and made sure we had all the information we needed. The unit was clean, and very comfortable. It had plenty of kitchenware, towels, and everything we needed. The view was gorgeous! I would definitely recommend staying in their unit.
The host was very responsive and answered our questions quickly. The property was well stocked with everything we needed, including lawn chairs, a cooler, and other thoughtful extras. We had a great stay. We loved the path along the ocean to walk and run. And our view of the ocean was fabulous to look at every morning.
Beautiful spacious home with all the amenities you could want from kitchen tools to beach chairs and extra sunscreen. Very communicative and responsive owners. AC was very nice. Thanks for an awesome stay!
Had a great stay. Steps away from the beach and shops/restaurants within walking distance. Owner had quick responses to my questions and the place was clean and ready ahead of the official check in time.
Definitely recommend and would stay again :)
This place was amazing. Great location and the unit is probably the best location in the complex. The owner is always available for any questions or concerns. I would highly recommend this place and wouldn't hesitate to rent again.
This was a fabulous place! Very clean and welcoming by staff and host! Many amenities were available and everyone was very friendly! Nice pool area and great walking paths!
Had some small issues, and the property owners were fantastically responsive. Overall, the property is very comfortable and steps away from a great sunrise watching spot. The beach chairs and other items available for use were a thoughtful addition. We enjoyed our stay.
Kapa'a is a great town and the condo is in the perfect location if you plan on seeing the entire island. Communication with the owner was immediate and she even allowed us to check out late since our flight wasn't leaving until 9 pm. I can't wait to come back and I'll definitely stay here again!!
Thank you, Susan, for providing a comfortable and beautiful place for our family to make lasting memories. We had a trip of a lifetime! Hope to come back in the years to come. Mahalo, Jaelynne and family
Beautiful condo, location, and owners. They were very responsive, kind, helpful, and informative. They even mailed back a lost item of ours. The condo had all adminities and we loved the bike path!
This property is excellent for a family vacation with young children! There is ample room to play, and Baby Beach is within walking distance. Kapaa is a great town with virtually everything you need and is within walking distance of the condo. Susan is a great host. One of the fans wasn't working, and she had a worker come out the next day to fix it. We couldn't be happier with our selection, and we will definitely be coming back next year.
We love the condominium . The view is beutifull. They have all amenities that you need.TVs in the rooms did'nt work good but who cares, you don't come to Kauai to watch tv. Everything was very clean and confortable.Very close to everything.Susan was very kind and offer help if we need anything. I definitely will comeback here and recommended to other people.
Very clean, very loaded with everything you could possible need. The location was one of the best I have seen, cant beat the views and the sunrise !! They really have thought of you, I have never been to another location that had so many normal household items stocked full. The location is one of the best as well, all the local shops are in walking distance and was a very fun to go through all the local eateries' and shopping. The owner was very easily reachable at anytime we needed which was a very pleasant surprise. We will stay here next time we come without a second thought. A++ All the way.
The property fit my party of 5 well and the location was very convenient. We loved being on ground floor ocean front. We appreciated the beach chairs, boogie boards, and beach towels available for our use. The sofa bed was comfortable and air conditioning worked perfectly. We also appreciated the laundry soap and having easy access to a washer and dryer.We couldn’t find a dustpan to help manage the sand but made do and it was nice to have the vacuum available. We used a bucket full of water on the back patio to do an extra foot rinse before coming indoors and that helped manage sand as well. We didn’t utilize the resort amenities during our stay but they seemed nice as well. Thanks for a great stay!

Great spot but...
Mostly positive. Great condo but not the cleanest. Food left in fridge and dry goods in microwave!
The owner allowed us early check in which we were very grateful for after traveling from Ohio. I did send a note about the lack of cleanliness but never heard back.
We were 3 adults in the condo. We loved that it was ground floor and litterally just steps from the ocean. We listened to the sound of the waves every day and night.
The condo was clean, comfortable and well stocked. The host supplied bathroom basics, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, soap, hair dryer, kleenex, Q-tips, cotton balls.
The AC units worked well although we only used them once or twice due to humidity..
Thhe host was very easy to communicate with and allowed us to stay for a late checkout since our return flight didn't leave until 9pm.
Our only disappointment was that we didn't get to see the canyon or the Na Pali coast due to a storm arriving.
Other than that it was a fabulous trip.
We went to Hanilei several times, but alas, failed to see Puff!
Mahalo Susan for sharing your condo with us.
Susan and Brenda are the best. We had a few questions and things were dealt with expeditiously. The location CANNOT be beat. We were here for 10 days and enjoyed every day. Lots of beach gear, wonderful beds - we slept like babies. Will definitely be back! 🌸🌺🏖️ Mahalo
This condo was perfect. Susan is an excellent host. The condo is updated, well stocked and clean. It is ideally situated to explore Kauai. The Pono Kai is a wonderful resort. Our grandchild could play on the lawn. Highly recommend
