About this property

*NEW* Oceanfront Kapaa Retreat with Private Lanai and Pool

  • Summary:

    Let the sound and view of the Pacific lead the day at this upgraded one-bedroom condo at oceanfront Pono Kai Resort in Kapaa. Sleeping four, it gives a couple or small family a spacious private lanai for slow breakfasts and a beach that is just steps from the landscaped grounds. Walk through 12 acres of tropical flowers, fruit trees, and gardens, cool off in the shared pool, or ease into the hot tub after a day on the East Side. Historic Kapaa is close enough to walk for art galleries, boutiques, coffee, and dinner, while the coastal path invites an early stroll. Inside, air conditioning, WiFi, cable TV, and a full kitchen keep the stay comfortable. This is a warm, central base for guests who want ocean views without being removed from Kapaa's local life.



    The Space:

    The bright, upgraded one-bedroom layout sleeps four and opens to a spacious private lanai with direct ocean views. Comfortable furnishings and natural light make the living area an easy place to linger. Air conditioning, WiFi, cable TV, and a full kitchen handle the everyday comforts, so you can keep the focus on beach mornings and coastal evenings.



    Guest Access:

    Guests at Pono Kai Resort enjoy access to the shared pool, hot tub, gym, and BBQ areas, along with an elevator and beautifully landscaped, beachfront grounds. On site parking and laundry facilities are available, and the beach is just steps from your unit.



    The Neighborhood:

    Pono Kai Resort is oceanfront in the heart of Kapaa, with tropical grounds between the condo and the shore. Historic Kapaa is easy to reach on foot for coffee, local art, boutiques, and dinner, and the Ke Ala Hele Makalae path follows the nearby coast for walking or biking. Wailua River kayaking is a favorite day trip from here. This is a convenient East Side base for couples and small families who want beach access alongside a real Kauai town.



    Getting Around:

    Kapaa sits along Kauai's Royal Coconut Coast, about 15 to 20 minutes from Lihue Airport. A rental car is recommended for exploring the island, though the main strip along Kuhio Highway is walkable, with beaches, shops, restaurants, and the popular coastal path all within easy reach on foot. Grocery stores and casual dining are close by. Parking is generally available at condos and along the street, making this an easy, low stress base.



    Other Things to Note:

    Brand new AC unit, located in the living room. This property is managed by Heavenly Vacations.



    Interaction with Guests:

    Our local Heavenly Vacations Kauai team is just a call or message away throughout your stay. We are always happy to share our favorite places to enjoy on the Garden Isle, and we are here to help right away should any issue arise. We respect your privacy and are here whenever you need us.

Great Location!

Loved how spread out the resort was, not cramped like other resorts. Condo is ocean front with great views! Kitchen was very well stocked and we used the cooler and beach equipment almost every day so a great bonus. Great walking path in front of unit and plenty of parking. We would stay here again!

Awesome views of the sunrise

We enjoyed our stay - especially the views of the sunrise from the balcony. Kitchen was well stocked, comfortable bed, beach chairs and boogie boards made this a wonderful getaway. I would suggest stating in the welcome email that you are supposed to check in at the registration desk in order to get a pool key with access to the laundry room. Other than that, everything was great!

Amazing vacation!

Pono Kai is ideally placed near the historic downtown of Kappa with restaurants and shopping nearby. We loved being right on the biking/walking path and used it every day. This unit has a large balcony facing the ocean. Sun rises and moon rises are both beautiful from here. The unit is comfortable and well stocked with beach chairs, boogie boards, etc. Kitchen is nice too. Highly recommend!

One negative

The complex is great with good guest services and plenty of amenities. The condo itself is perfect! It is in a great location; walking distance to restaurants, bars, grocery stores, etc. and the view is everything! Watching the sunrise was amazing! It is updated, clean and well appointed with a lot of little extras (beach equipment, laundry pods, ponchos, etc.) The only negative it that it is on the second floor of a three story building. Unfortunately, the family above us was very loud, which made sleeping in or having a quiet evening difficult.

A lovely Oceanfront Getaway

My wife and I choose this spot for a two-week getaway to celebrate our 40th. We come to the islands about every 5 years and our stay in Kapa'a kindled many fond memories. We loved the location of our condo, which afforded us a perfect view of sunrises over the Pacific, and was a short walk to everything convenient. We found our apartment to be very clean, with thoughtful supplies of towels, linens, and kitchen items that made us feel right at home. I suppose my only peevish peccadillo has to do with a couple of our neighbors whose fondness for smoking marijuana on their balcony, along with apparently rearranging furniture after hours made for a couple of unpleasant evenings. That said, all in all we very much enjoyed this lovely oceanfront and getaway.

Good location and great amenities

This place is spacious, most complete amenities I have had to this day (and I have stayed in a lot of places). It’s so complete and provided for you that you barely have to purchase anything but your food. The only problem was the 10 digit code (not over exaggerating) you have to punch into the tiny key pad after each time you enter the home. When your hands are full and you have to dig out the phone, your glasses just to find the code. If you mispunch one number you have to start all over again. It is the most inconvenient. There is a separate key card for the hot tub pool area and this is staffed for pool towels and chair massage which is awesome!

Beach view was good. Great walking path right by the property. Kitchen was well stocked. Husband loved that they provided binoculars to watch the boats coming in. The only recommendation I would have is that they have two loungers on the lanai.

Paradise from the balcony

The view was amazing! When we were too tired to go out, it didn’t matter, because sitting on the balcony gave us a perfect view of the ocean waves. The bed and pullout bed were both comfortable! 10 minute walk to many good food/shopping places. Would definitely stay here again!

Absolute best place to stay esp on our Honeymoon. We will look here 1st when we are ready for a return visit. Clean, tons of amenities, right at the end on the path, we couldn't have had a more comfortable stay. Everything was easy going. I like the location as well as we planned days to be North and South on the Island. 10/10. We loved it here.

If you want a night of good sleep this isn’t the place; you’ll listen to your upstairs neighbors all day even when they’re just talking and don’t get me started on when they walk, use the restroom, etc. The space definitely needs some improvement, doors, paint and other things look very old and it also wasn’t as clean as I’d expect. The view though is good and the access to the pathway that goes all the way in front of the ocean for miles is very convenient.
