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.

I just emailed Jody and thanked her for the feedback. I have had my housekeeper for 10 years, I know she has had a lot going on personally this month. But there is no excuse for this and have forwarded all of Jody's messages to her. Susan

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.

My husband and I along with our two teens stayed here and it was clean, comfortable and had a great view. It had all the amenities you can think of! The beds were comfortable, and most of all it was quiet! We couldn’t hear any neighbors and being on the end was great. We enjoyed watching all the chickens in the mornings while sipping coffee on the lanai. 10 out of 10!

It was our very first girls trip (anywhere away from our husbands/family’s) our first ever trip to Hawaii, and we could not have asked for anything better! This is the perfect location. Susan supplies so many extras that no other hosts do anywhere (my husband and our family stay in a lot of VRBO condos in the Gulf shores area) we would definitely love to come back!!

Nice place, Great Host
Conversing with Susan, the owner, was an absolute pleasure. Extremely helpful and very responsive. The house had everything needed for a great vacation with no worries. Location was very central to both the north and south ends which made it easier to see different parts of the island. I was a little nervous the first night due to the past issues that were noted about the homeless close to the property but Susan has alarms on the windows and doors which made it feel safer and secure. I would suggest larger beds in the 2nd bedroom for when they are apart as singles. For anyone that's on a taller side (son is over 6' tall) they felt too small and were not comfortable. Overall it was a good experience for the price.

We loved our stay at Susan's condo at the Pono Kai resort. The space worked well for our family of five and was a great home base for exploring all over Kauai.

Great place in Kapaa
We had an amazing stay on Kauai for 10 nights. The amenities in the condo were so appreciated. Not having to worry about buying soaps and spices was so nice, as well as having beach towels, chairs, a cooler and other amenities was just great. Most wonderful was the lanai. We enjoyed it at all times of the day and it felt so private where we were located. The chickens - well that’s another story for another day.

Excellent location with a great view!
The condo was great, the host was more than accommodating, and we had a great time. Coffee on the lanai every morning with the view of the ocean sunrise and the sound of the waves was perfect! The property was very clean, the only criticism I have is that a few things look a bit worn/rusty, but that is just part of being on the beach with the salty air and so I'm being picky.

Everything we'd hoped for!
We really enjoyed staying at Susan's roomy condo in Kapa'a. It was clean, well-stocked, and wonderfully located. The lanai directly faces sunrise over the ocean, making morning coffee an exquisite experience. Especially when the personable chickens endemic to Kauai share it with you. Many of the restaurants and shops on Kapa'a's main drag are within a block of this condo--there's a lot you can do without getting into a car. One of my favorite features was Kapa'a's highest-rated bike rental, Hele, within that one-block walk and a paved 4-mile hike/bike path that runs up the windward coast of the island. The path is adjacent to this condo's back yard. The path is an easy, breezy ride, and the views are spectacular. The Pono Kai resort, to which this property belongs, is also a great home base. It has immaculately manicured grounds, a peaceful pool, koi ponds, hammocks, grills, and several outdoor activities like croquet or lawn chess. This was our first trip to Kauai, but we're sure to return, and will see if Susan's property is available then. Mahalo!

Perfect location and very well-stocked
We had a fantastic time here. Susan’s well-stocked home made everything easier! It was so nice not having to worry about basic essentials (paper towels, hand soap, dish soap, etc) when traveling to a vacation by plane. The other amenities like beach towels, boogie boards and chairs were awesome too. I read the reviews before choosing this rental and they were helpful. You definitely hear the upstairs neighbors but the incredible location, beach access and cold AC in the bedrooms more than made up for it. We hope to visit again soon and wouldn’t hesitate to rent this unit again! Check in was easy, the resort is pretty and well-maintained and we loved all of the restaurants and shops that were within walking distance!
