Wonderful stay
The condo was the perfect location for our trip. Close to many activities and restaurants in the area. The condo was exactly as advertised. Very clean. We look forward to returning here. If your looking for day spa “Aloha Moon “ in Kaapa was wonderful .

Susan and Brenda were wonderful. Nice upgrades to the condo, especially the walk-in shower and laundry. We enjoyed the cushioned love seat on the lanai for coffee and sunrises and any time. The kitchen is better equipped than most rentals.

Ocean front. Super clean. Friendly host.
The description of the property was spot on. 3rd floor! No body above you. Quiet unit. Direct views of the ocean. Fully equipped unit with beach chairs, boogie boards, cooler, umbrellas (we didn't need those). There was a welcome book with everything you needed to ensure a comfortable stay. Close proximity to restaurants, and convenience stores and shopping. AC!!! not all places have it. It was comforting to know we had it available if we needed it. We did use the grill for one meal. It was clean and worked well. we were surprised there were spices/ salt /pepper in the unit to use. Definitely a resort / host we would come back to.

Walkable beachfront unit
Condo was as pictured, and location can’t be beat. It was nice to have laundry and a well stocked kitchen for cooking. The beach was a short walk down a paved path and we even saw a monk seal.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Susan’s place in Kapa’a! The condo had everything we needed and the view over the ocean was amazing. We didn’t utilize the resort amenities but there was a pool, various yard games, ping pong, etc. We loved that there were lots of restaurants within walking distance down the paved path.

wonderful oceanfront stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation - time went by too fast. Susan went above and beyond in being flexible and understanding with us due to a health issue at the last minute. Everything was perfect in the condo, so relaxing and beautiful views of the sunrises over the ocean. Thanks for everything Susan and continued success as I know this is a very popular and desirable destination.

Beautiful View
Fantastic views from this location, and perfect size wise for my wife and I to enjoy our stay. We loved the extra things the host included, using the cooler, rain umbrella, beach chairs, and extra beach towels she provided - those were great to have on our adventures across the island. We enjoyed the nearby bike/walking path and location near "downtown" Kapa'a. It was sometimes difficult to pull out of the Pono Kai complex due to high traffic along the main road. Had a minor hiccup with the kitchen sink and disposal - but this was promptly fixed by the owner as she was quick to respond. Great place to stay and a great host!

Lovely condo
Lovely condo. Very clean and incredibly spacious. The view from the balcony was great for watching the sunrise. Loved the A/C throughout, for us it was a definite must! Also was sooo nice having the in suite washer and dryer! We took advantage of that and we’re grateful we didn’t have to make a chore of it by leaving the room and using the communal ones. Was nice to see some staples in the cupboard, we didn’t do any cooking but the coffee filters and sugar we were thankful for. Our only real suggestion is to ditch the blinds in the master bedroom for some nice dark curtains for more privacy; the master bedroom basically is situated next to the walking hallway for the Pono Kai and we did notice even with the blinds closed and a bedroom lamp on, anybody could easily see into the bedroom when walking by. Also the Pono Kai keeps lights on all night long and we still found the bedroom was too bright for us with the blinds closed because of the lights they keep on outside in the halls 24/7, eye masks were used. Pono Kai is very close to local breakfast spots and a good central location in Kapaa, from there it makes excursions around the island equal distance whether it’s North or South. It was great for first time visit to Kauai, since we saw a bit of everything everywhere! We did notice it was also very very windy walking along the oceanfront in front of the condo however. And for us, definitely not a swim spot. But we appreciated being oceanfront every day nonetheless.

Lovely spacious waterfront condo
Spent 4 nights in Kapa’a. The condo was exactly as shown in the photos. It was comfortable, kitchen was well-equipped, everything was super clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. Happy to see there were fans as well as air conditioning. The beach was a few yards away. Good sized lanai for having coffee and watching the sun rise. Walking distance to shops, restaurants, bike rental, and Safeway is a short drive. There was plenty of parking and other tenants were respectful of quiet hours. Our trip was very enjoyable. Mahalo

The stay at this VRBO was fantastic. The unit was perfect, it had everything you needed. The view from the lanai was incredible. You could watch the sunrise every morning while drinking your coffee. The location was excellent for shopping and dining. The beach walking path made it easy to stroll to town with a view. Susan was extremely helpful and prompt with answers to any questions I had. The town of Kaapa is an easy access to all areas of the island. Highly recommended.

This was the perfect condo for our trip on Kauai. Every morning we had our coffee while listening to the surf and watching the sunrise. There is a walking path along the ocean where we walked and rented bikes. (paved path) The central location is perfect for exploring around the island. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone visiting Kauai.

Our favorite food and cocktails is Fish Bar Deli, fyi. Love the walking path and cooling off in the waters right in front of the resort. Also, short drive to Smith Family Gardens, Sleeping Giant trailhead, and Wailua river kayaking. Can't wait to go back to Susan's wonderful condo!

Short but Sweet Stay
We traveled to Kauai for our nephews wedding and stayed only 3 days. We met other family members also attending the wedding and our location enabled us to do very many things! Walking the shoreline everyday on the spacious paved path kept us fit for the days adventures. The unit is clean, well equipped and you cannot beat the sunrises and beach right out front of the lanai. A couple of family members said they preferred our unit to their resort for the sheer beauty of having the ocean at your doorstep. This fact was the main reason we chose to stay here. We loved it here!

Nice view and highly walkable base for exploring
The unit was clean, well appointed and more than met our needs. We were not cooking on vacation but the kitchen was very well stocked and could have handled as needed. We enjoyed the ocean view and sunrises, and it's great having the trail to walk up the coast, as well as being able to cut through the property and right up into old town Kapa'a. Enjoyed the local businesses, restaurants and food trucks; special nod to the fine food and Lillikoi foam Mai Tai at Sam's Ocean View. And when we weren't walking it was a great location for our trips up to the North coast and the beauty and sights it has to offer. The resort staff was also very helpful and welcoming, we didn't feel like a VRBO rental was any different in their eyes. Worked out great for us overall and is a place we'd gladly spend more time.

Everything we needed while on Kauai
The location could not have been more perfect. Right in middle of island, so convenient with activities we did south (snorkeling, boat tour) and to the north (state parks, hiking). Has a great beach with calmer water in front of this development. Walked every day to a different place for lunch and dinner and had great food in Kapa'a. The pool and grounds are immaculately well maintained. The condo was comfortable and clean and well stocked. We would definitely stay her again.

Great unit in a great location!
We've stayed at Pono Kai multiple times before and love it there. It's centrally located, so getting to the either side of the island is easy. And it's within walking distance to everything in Kapa'a; very nice not to always have to get into the car to do things. This unit is one of the best ones we have stayed at. Oceanfront so that even when we were tired and wanted to rest we were still able to enjoy watching and listening to the ocean. And people (and dog) watching everyone on the walking path was entertaining. The unit has AC, but with the trade winds and the fans we never needed to use it (but nice to have the option). The tile floors are a great touch for being at the beach. And the in unit w/d is truly a plus! Being on the third floor (they do have elevators) we felt safe and secure leaving the door open at night to listen to the waves while we slept. The owner was great to deal with. Hopefully we will have many more future stays in this unit!
