Kauai Pono Kai Resort BR/1BA Condominium -- Sleeps 4

The condo has everything you need plus extras. There is great beach gear - chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, beach towels, a cooler and even an awesome wagon to carry everything that was clutch! The gear is also in excellent condition. The condo was also very clean and smelled clean. Jared, the host, is an excellent host, fast communication, very responsive and answered all our questions very quickly. We cooked all our meals and found the condo has most everything we needed. (Like other condos, some of the cook wear, especially nonstick pans, could be replaced, but I have found this to be the case in nearly every condo I have rented - we bought a cast iron pan to cook with). The condo has extras such as a Brita water filter, spices, left over cooking oil, aluminum foil, etc that was also very useful. The condo is very clean but on the older side, we found the living room area to be nice but the bedroom while clean has older carpet and a bit of a dated feel. The windows in the bedroom also face the parking lot. The unit is close to the pool/ hot tub and the fitness room was bigger than most with lots of free weights. I found this condo to have more amenities than ones run by vacation rental companies. There is a bike shop walking distance to rent bikes for the Kaapa bike path, which is a must. The Kaapa area itself is certainly convenient but not very charming. Hope this review helps as I found many reviews to be very informative.

Jared was amazing. So responsive and very instructive. The place was also amazing, really easy check-in process, the resort is nice and feels safe, the room itself is very spacious and includes all the essentials for your stay. We particularly were grateful for the beach wagon, boogie boards, beach chairs, and snorkel gear that were available to use for free. So much cheaper and easier than renting gear for the week. The central location provided us the ability to enjoy both the north and south shores of the island from a nice “home base”. Kapa’a itself was awesome as well.

Enjoyed our stay. Games and equipment left for our stay was greatly appreciated

Proximity to old Kapaa town is great, a lot of walk ability to stores, restaurants, etc. Property was exactly as pictured. Great communication with owner. It was nice to have things like assorted spices, cooler, beach towels, etc available!

Nice little place and within walking distance to Old Town Kapa’a

The resort is in a good location, close enough to the beach that a brief sidewalk trek will lead one to the ocean walkway. We did not have ocean views from our condo, as it faces the center of the resort leading to the pool area, which did have attractive landscaping. The staff was fairly responsive to our needs. Airport is a quick drive, though sometimes traffic can be a little heavy, especially if there is construction, of course. There are a few restaurants in walking distance, and the condos have full kitchens. Our unit which was privately owned had extras in the kitchen, which was really nice. It also provided extras that our friends staying in the same resort did not have in their regular condo, such as beach chairs, a few toys, etc.,and a Roku for streaming which we loved, because we could easily catch up on our favorite Colorado sports teams in the evening. Overall, our stay was a good one. Beach views would’ve been nice, but we were out on excursions and traveling all around the island throughout the day all week, and had walks along the beach daily every morning. Those are the very memorable moments.

Clean convenient and reasonably priced. Would recommend.

NIce roomy condo.. The owner was very helpful and on top of things

Our favorite was the little chairs that we could back pack them down to the beach and sit. We used some other beach stuff also. Nice to not have to buy everything.We enjoyed the kitchen being stocked and access to a bbq
