Pono Kai,A308 Oceanfront, Best views. top floor, A/C, 2 bd 2 ba,+sofa sleeper

Top (3rd) floor with some of Kauai's best ocean, beach and bay views. Spacious upgraded, two bedroom with 2 full baths sleeps 6. Split- system air conditioning provides cool comfort in the living room and both bedrooms. Living area, kitchen and dining area have views of gorgeous bay, sandy beach and the oceanfront walking/jogging path that runs for 7.5 miles. Quiet end unit has no traffic on the walkway. Numerous upgrades include fresh paint, upgraded kitchen cabinets, new window coverings, 3 Smart TV's, new cookware, new ceiling fans, faucets, new sofa sleeper and side chair and new lanai table and chairs. The walking path in front of the unit was named "One of the "best in the US with stunning views."
This private, end unit has a superb view of the Coconut Coast and lush landscaping of the 12-acre Pono Kai Resort. The living area is over 1000 square feet with an oceanfront lanai that affords complete privacy from other units.

Lovely place to stay
A great location for walking the bike path in Kapaa, easy walking distance to shops and food, plus 24/7 ocean sounds made for the perfect vacation spot. The condo was clean and had everything we needed for beach adventures or just lounging around. Bed was comfortable. Good communication w the owner. She was very attentive and helpful with any questions. We will definitely be back! Mahalo

Ocean front
This location has amazing ocean views! Perfect to watch the sunrises. It has everything you need for your vacation. The only downside we had was staying for 9 days and the property only had 1 set of showering towels for each one of us. Granted there was a washer/dryer on the property, we weren’t in our unit enough to wash them every other day. I would recommend more towels for the guests. Also, our comforter had yellow stains on it which made going to bed a little uneasy. Lastly, our units AC was out for the first two days that we got there. Donna was quick to get it fixed and also accommodated us, which we were grateful for.

Great Location and Amazing Ocean Views!
Pono Kai is a great central location! There are so many restaurants and food trucks within walking distance, a grocery stores, fun souvenir shops and a farmers market at the park just down the street . The unit was clean and well-equipped, but the bathrooms were a little worn. The views of the ocean are amazing! Check-in and out was quick and easy. This is a top-floor, corner unit so noise from other condos was minimal if at all. Would definitely recommend this spot for another family. We had an amazing time!

Kapaa Condo
This condo suited our needs perfectly! It was very spacious with more than enough room for 4 adults. The view from the balcony sold us and it didn’t disappoint. Everything was neat and clean and the unit had everything we needed. The beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels were used daily! The Pono Kai resort was well manicured and had some nice amenities. The Island of Kauai had much to do. Donna couldn’t have been a more gracious host! She was always there to answer any questions we had. Her condo was as advertised and we would strongly recommend. Thanks Donna for sharing your condo with us!

Great property and great location!
We had such a great time during our visit. The condo is right on the water which made for awesome sunrises. There is a small beach area that you can utilize. There is no lifeguard on duty so it's at your own risk. There is a path right by the resort and it was nice to be able to walk to local stores and restaurants. The pool area was nice and clean. The resort has many games you can play like golf, shuffle board, chess, and croquet. The property is nicely maintained. The location is ideal for driving both north and south on the island. It is basically a central location. The condo itself was very well stocked with basic needs and beach/pool items. The owner, Donna, is very quick to answer any questions or help with anything you need. This was my best experience to date with a host. The beds were very comfy and appliances were up to date. We did not use the stove or oven so I can't speak to the function of those. There a couple things I would improve, but they did not take away from our experience. 1) The couch is very lumpy and uncomfortable. We didn't use it as a pull out bed, but just to sit on it wasn't great so we rarely did. 2) The balcony chairs are also uncomfortable. Replacing them with two chaise lounges would have been my preference. Or a chaise and a smaller table with more comfortable chairs. It's nice to be able to relax on the balcony for a longer period of time. Again, we had a great time and would definitely say here on our next trip to Kauai.

Gorgeous view & perfect location
We had an absolutely wonderful time staying here! The kitchen was extremely well stocked and made it incredibly easy and fun to cook meals at home. The balcony has a stunning view of the water and looks directly east, making it perfect for drinking coffee and watching the sunrise. The condo is literally steps away from the ocean, and the surf was very calm while we were there. While we also made our way to other beaches, on multiple occasions we simply stepped outside and spent many hours right on the beach by the property. While the resort doesn’t provide full amenities to private condos, we were able to use the pool, jacuzzi, and hammocks; and that was perfect to us! The location is very walkable to a number of restaurants, bars, and shops, and the beach walking path offers beautiful views. While I’ve previously stayed in Princeville, Kapa’a offered a really central location for day trips both north and south, which helped minimize time spent in the car and maximized time enjoying our trip. Donna was also a fantastic host and helped us within minutes during a minor issue. Overall, we had a great time in this location and would recommend it!!

Donna’s VRBO is very centrally located to restaurants, shopping, and the beach. There is a great pool and walking path just outside her unit. The grills and grounds are meticulously maintained. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Donna’s unit is fully stocked with kitchen items and bath towels. She also has starter coffee, paper products and soaps. We enjoyed our stay very much-so many beautiful sunrises! Donna responded very quickly to a couple of small issues-we really appreciated that! There is an elevator in this building which was wonderful! Mahalo

We just spent Christmas at Donna's property at Pono Kai. The views are amazing and do not disappoint. The location is perfect right on the beach and a good base camp for going anywhere on the island.

Fun Family Vacation
This was our first time to Kauai, so we really weren't sure what to expect. Family of 6, ages from 4 - 16, and the 2 rooms and sofa bed were cozy enough for us all to be comfortable. Kitchen was well supplied with cooking utensils, there were beach chairs and toys for the kids, and large smart TV's in each room. A/C worked great! The place is centrally located on the island so it is convenient to get to both the North and South shores. There are many shops and food spots within walking distance. Great 3rd floor view of the ocean and easy to keep an eye on the kids at the beach below the balcony. Cool walking/bike path directly behind the property that gives convenient access to the snorkeling spot at Lydgate and the old town shops/food. Would definitely stay here again in the future! Donna was great, and was always available if needed!
