Property is dated but we knew that going in. What we didn’t know was that the dishwasher was NOT working and for three days we went without one. Then we spent almost two full days in our condo while they attempted to replace the dishwasher with a new one. The microwave has some sort of electrical malfunction going on in behind the control panel and it “Zaps & Sparks”, was able to take a video to send to owner and manager.
The owner was unwilling to compensate us for any of our inconvenience and loss of time while on our holidays.
For that reason alone, we will NEVER rent B-306 again!

This property was perfect for us...not a high class place but a very comfortable and clean room..we love the small town of Kappaa and the hiking trails. This was our 20th visit to Kauai.

Great unit right on the oceanfront ! The view was amazing and we listened to the waves every night as we went to bed .
Very well equipped condo and had everything we need to make us comfortable for our stay .
We loved the path out front and rented bicycles to go from end to end . Lovely ride .
Great location as we were able to walk to town easily to get a bite or groceries we needed .
Had a nice pool as well as other options like horse shoes , corn hole or putting greens .
Would definitely recommend this condo and the complex itself !

What a perfect location! The room was nice. Completely set up kitchen we just needed to stop by the nearby grocery store and get what we wanted. Walk down the street for food and shopping. This is the second time I stayed at Pono Kai. I will be back.

This condo is in a great location for getting around the island easily. We drove to the North Shore, the Waimea Canyon, the south side—all easy drives. The town of Kapa’a was charming and we walked to many of the restaurants and shops. The wide sidewalk outside the unit was a great place to walk and see the beautiful ocean and beaches. The beach outside the condo was adequate for the little bit of beach time that we wanted. The view from the beachfront balcony was great.
The condo is a bit worn, and the bed’s foam topper is way too soft for our taste, but all in all it was a nice place to stay. We really didn’t miss the AC with the doors open and the fans going. The owner and property manager were very accommodating and allowed a late checkout since we had a late flight out.

3rd floor with elevator. Building is nearest to the shore.
Beautiful, consistent breeze so you don’t need a/c.
Found things furnished that we didn’t expect,(beach gear).

We had to call the local property manager every day we were there because of a toilet that wouldn't flush. Also, no one mentioned the extra lever on the door; because it looked like a dead bolt, the condo was actually unlocked part of the time.

If you are in need of excellent value, and would love a great ocean view, you definitely want to consider this unit at Pono Kai!
Yes it needs updating, and more attention to some details, but those things are quite easily overlooked once you have the chance to take in the view from the lanai. We enjoyed our stay, and would definitely stay again.

We spend 3 nights and loved this property.
Exceeded our expectations!!!! Pictures in Vrbo doesn't show as good as it is!!!!
Just 2 little things to improve:
1) bath towels: have too much polyester, so they doesn't dry very well in this humid weather.
2) We ask Brenda for a phone to make a local one for a car rental (we are from abroad and didn´t have cell phone coverage), she told us to give us the machine because it wasn´t in the unit, but she didn´t. I contact the owner the day after because it was urgent (we needed to contact a car rental urgently), and told me by e mail that the property does not have a phone (so Brenda is not updated?).
3) Concierge/Front Desk Pono Kai Resort: despite I knew they have nothing to do with de managing of the unit (very clear explained in the check in instructions), I went to ask for a phone to make a local phone call. The person who assisted me was really disappointing...... Where was the "Aloha Spirit"???? Awful experience with Pono Kai Front Desk! they seem to be public employees.....
Despite all of this, I recommend the property!

Unit doesn’t have AC, but it is literally right in the beach. You pay for location more than anything, and during winter it was more than worth it! Would definitely stay again!

Great location being on east side. The place is very outdated but it's fine for sleeping in. The first night was pure hell as it was so hot in here from being closed up. Once we got the place aired out it wasn't as bad. We slept with windows and patio door open with screen closed to let in air. Everything is rusted, carpet is old. Things are old. Would Have been nice to have extra sheets for my mom who had to sleep on the couch. Also there was one roll of toilet paper which wasn't much for a week. The microwave had small plastic chips flaking off all over the stove. The picture of them in the hallway is a bit creepy but I got over it. Also the soap was literally water in it. They could do a but better with that. Overall good place to stay. I loved having the ocean view ND I ran each morning. Stupid that the exercise room didn't open until 8 because I'm up at 5 to work out and gone by 8.

Da Best Home Away From Home
What a beautiful property! No beating around the bush with this property, everything that is pictured and described in the description for this property is to the point. Truly a home away from home. Was able to entertain individual local friends or families comfortably, cooking meals in the room. Internet was great as I was working remotely, CA time. A beautiful office away from the office at home watching the sunrise every morning, what else can you ask for! Returning again! Complaints about it being hot and no AC? Yes when all doors/windows are shut but simply open them up and fresh air bursts in and cool da place up. Yes it needs upgrading, but that's the character about this place and I do agree, a sofa bed is due as I prefer sleeping in living room w/sliding door open listening to the waves...When the owner is ready to upgrade, it will be even homier...Love it and returning next year!

Excellent location to watch beautiful sunrises from the balcony. Nicely kept grounds. Loved walking to nearby food trucks and taking nightly strolls on the walking path by the beach. We had a great time and would highly recommend.

We loved our stay at Pono Kai B306 and would definitely consider a return here next trip! The apartment was slightly dated but clean and well furnished. The pillow top bed was very comfortable and the view from the living room and balcony looking directly at the water was heavenly! The grounds were well kept up and the lawn was inviting to sit under a coconut tree and read a book. The pool area was very nice, plenty of space for pool and other gaming activities. I think one of the best things was the board walk right in front of the condo. We walked it most mornings all the way down to Keilia beach park and back. Unfortunately we didn't have trade winds most of the time, and it could get slightly stuffy, but don't let that deter you from a fantastic location and beach view! Management was very responsive to a fan issue and problem taken care of quickly. You can't go wrong by staying in this lovely condo!!!

Fabulous accommodations, fantastic day! I have stayed in this condo three times now and have found it absolutely fabulous!
