About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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 patio door 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 another king sleeping space 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 towels/beach chairs/beach coolers/hair dryers/shampoo, 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 including a pool, hot tub, koi ponds, a guest-accessible herb garden, croquet, mini-golf, pickle-ball, fitness room, propane-gas BBQs, and other amenities. It is in the historic town of Kapaa, centrally located on the East Side of Kauai. 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 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"!

Perfect Vacation
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!!

Excellent property and a wonderful host!
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.

Beautiful and relaxing
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.

Fantastic location
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.

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.

Great location, everything we needed
Enjoyed our stay here. Beds were super comfortable, lanai was lovely, and the beach was one of our kids' favorites. Having laundry facilities was super helpful. Loved the location for exploring every part of the island. There was a long, very slow-moving line to check-in (not something the owner can control), but otherwise everything went smoothly.

Spacious and well stocked
Our stay was wonderful! This unit is a large end unit that was larger than I expected. Our family of 4 had lots of room to spread out. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals during our stay, including spices, some condiments, and cooking spray. It may be worth checking out before shopping. It was great to have laundry within the unit, and there were lots of beach items as well. My boys enjoyed bringing out the boogie boards and sand toys. We also had lawn chairs and umbrellas to use at the beach. The beach is very close, and the resort property has lots of ammenities for outdoor entertainment. There are restaurants and shops that are right down the road, so plenty to do in walking distance. Another feature that was helpful was a binder that has lots of information and suggestions for activites. We would love to visit again sometime and would defietely recommend this rental.
