Best view and comfortable stay
This was a nice property with an incredible view. The amenities were also nice. I had concerns about the location based on other reviews which talked about homelessness and addicts on property. We did not have any concerns with this during our visit. The area was very safe and well kept. Furnishings and decor are dated, but well kept up... It felt like home.

Perfect Get Away!
This property exceeded our expectations and provided everything we needed and more. We loved the option of sleeping in the murphy bed to enjoy the sound of the ocean waves. An ac in the bedroom and living area was lovely, but with the ocean breeze and trade winds, we were able to stay comfortable without using it much. The kitchen was fully stocked, and having access to the beach chairs was great. The only recommendation we would give is to update info for the AC, TV remotes, and location of batteries for remotes. Overall we would stay here again if we ever come back to this beautiful island.

Great Central Location
Our condo was nice with a great view and most of the essential items provided. The resort is older with a tiny pool and the beach is narrow during low tide covered at high tide and full of debris. We drove off site for swimming. This location was central for us and we were able to visit all of the island during our week stay.

Great location. Person in charge of on property not so good. TV did not work, condescending response from owner. New TV eventually showed up while we were sailing without notification. I had to program it myself. Outdated appliances. Resort facilities limited. All in all we made it a great time.

Just As Great As Our First Stay
This one bedroom unit at the Pono Kai Resort is very nice with a full kitchen which is well maintained. Unlike some of the other units it has AC which makes it much more comfortable on a hot day. We enjoyed the wonderful view of the ocean at sunrise right from our room. The owner and the on island representative were easy to contact and responded quickly to any questions we had. The awesome thing about this property is that you are just a few steps away from the beach and biking/walking trail. “Bye” until next time.

Home away from home
From the moment you walk through the door, you feel ease and excitement. The view from the balcony is amazing. The unit is clean and very well stocked! I would check in before hitting the grocery store as many staples have been left behind. Salt, pepper, oil, condiments, cling wrap etc. The grounds at Pono Kai are very well kept and the staff is friendly. It was above my expectations and it really made for a wonderful vacation. I would stay in this unit again without a doubt.

Great location, gorgeous view, and overall a great option
The host was super understanding of my payment blunder and called me to confirm I was indeed coming. I so appreciate that he didn’t cancel my reservation for my mistake. The dual zone air conditioning was a life saver because it gets stuffy. The condo smelled musty like it isn’t used a lot. The apartment had everything we needed including beach towels, shampoo and conditioner, beach chairs. We saw whale spouts off the lanai. The Murphy bed was really comfortable though the king bed mattress was quite squishy. Whatever the case, we really liked the condo and would stay again. Note: I’m a picky traveler with regard to my accommodations and the view plus location plus super host makes it a great choice.

Great location
The location and view of this condo is outstanding. It's a good area with a great view, great beach, and plenty of dining options. We would stay here again. Two things i would like to note that could use improvement but arent deal-breakers or enough to signifigantly hurt this review: 1) There is no deadbolt or chain keeper on the door for security. A hotel style door latch or chain keeper would give extra piece of mind for security. The keypad style lock is nice to have but I would have liked both. 2) The condo while cleaned, could really use a deep cleaning. There was quite a bit of dust on the cabinets in the bathroom, there was quite a bit of grit in the rugs in the bedroom, and the water pitcher in the fridge was dirty in the inside. All these things can be easily fixed with a simple deep clean of the condo. Overall, this condo is in a prime location and even of you find a more modern condo, if it doesn’t have the ocean view and great beach like this one, you will regret not staying here.

Oceanfront at its best. Kapaa is perfectly located on the island for travel north, south and west. The 3rd floor unit is right on the beach. Nicely furnished with tile floors throughout. A special thank you to our housekeeper Brenda, for her assistance with a few items. We definitely plan to visit again.

Excellent Oceanfront Condo
We loved our stay. The condo was exceptionally clean with comfortable furniture, a well stocked kitchen and a great shower. Everything we needed for an exceptional vacation was available including beach chairs, coolers etc.The views from the balcony are outstanding and there is a wonderful walking/biking path along the shoreline directly in front of the condo. The resort has a pool, tennis courts and BBQ grills. The grounds are very nice and there is plenty of parking available. The central location in Kapaa make a great base for day trips around the island. Highly recommend!

Gorgeous view and fantastic location
Loved our stay. View of the ocean was amazing. It was hard not to just sit on the balcony all day. Pono Kai is an older property (1970s), so keep this in mind. Not swanky, but well maintained. We had a little hiccup when we went to the front desk to get the card keys and wrist bands - they wanted us to forward to them an email confirmation from the owner. We told them we booked through VRBO so that would be difficult (if not impossible) to do. We did have a print out of the instructions from Richard. That seemed to satisfy them. Dishwasher went kaput. Brenda and the handyman ordered a new one. The good news is the next occupants will have a brand new dishwasher to use. Everything else worked fine. Walking into Kapaa town was an absolute joy! So many good places to eat and shop. Made us want to cry about the loss of Lahaina and its wonderful community. Would definitely stay here again. Course, my husband just decreed there will be no availability in the future “because I’m not leaving.” And, yes there are homeless folks. But every one of them we encountered was very polite. No problems at all. Indeed the only crime we encountered was a tourist being arrested for stealing a plush toy at the nearby ABC Store. Thank you Richard and Brenda!

We loved Richard’s place. The unit was even better than expected with plenty of A/C, an amazing view of the beach, and the beach access itself. Lots of cute shops and restaurants to walk to and very close to amenities such as gas, take out and grocery. We will definitely book again when we come back to the island.
