About this property

**RENOVATED 07/20!** Corner Beachfront Penthouse in Kapa'a w/AC!!

As of April, 2023 our condo now has AC!

Enjoy the Royal Coconut Coast in a 180 degree view oceanfront penthouse!

Located on the trade wind side of the Garden Isle, you’ll relax your days away in tropical sun and gentle breezes. Soak in beautiful sunrises on the lanai while sipping coffee and enjoying breakfast. With views of the mile-long sandy beach, Ke Ala Hele Makalae walking trail and Pacific Ocean, living Aloha has never been easier.

The Space

Our remodeled 1 bed, 1 bath home is located on the top floor, so you’ll enjoy more privacy in your home-away-from-home. Being in the corner of the complex also gives us breath-taking views of the Pacific Ocean. During season, you’ll also see whales breaching from the lanai!

Our home has been completely remodeled as of 07/2020. Enjoy a modern home with Hawaiian flare as you melt the days away in paradise. The fully-equipped kitchen shines with quartz countertops and backsplash and new stainless steel appliances. Traveling with other guests? The dual-sink marble vanity in the bathroom is perfect for sharing.

Pono Kai Resort’s luscious 12-acre landscaping is picture-perfect with meticulously manicured grounds and koi pond. Do you enjoy lounging on the lanai, but would like other activities as well? The resort offers plenty of amenities including shuffleboard, tennis courts, swimming pools, BBQ grills and more! Be prepared to relax in paradise while also having access to a variety of activities right outside your door.

Pono Kai Resort is also located right on the walking/bike path, Ke Ala Hele Makalae (“The Path that Goes by the Cost”). The trail leads from Nawiliwili to Anahola. You’ll find eclectic shops and wonderful eateries along this path – within walking distance from the resort!

Highlights:
• Recently remodeled penthouse
• Breathtaking panoramic beachfront views
• Recently installed 24,000 btu AC System in the living room/Kitchen area (not shown in the pictures)
• Cal King size bed in bedroom
• Fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances
• Queen sleeper sofa
• Free wifi
• Lots of resort amenities including volleyball, gym, pool, hot tub and more!

For guests who want to visit multiple islands, we also have a condo in Lahaina, Maui and Kona, Hawaii (Big Island).

Guest Access

Resort amenities include shuffleboard, volleyball, pool, Jacuzzi, gym, and more. You’ll also have access to BBQ facilities and a herb garden.

Other things to note

Our AC system is located in the living room and cools the kitchen and living areas. There isn't an AC in the bedroom, but the ceiling fan and ocean breezes keep you nice and cool while you sleep.

The previous owners of the condo also hosted guests on VRBO with over 100 five star reviews! Those reviews were uploaded to our VRBO page.

Perfect location
Great stay at this property, location is perfect, sleeping to the sound of the waves with shops and restaurants just around the corner. The coastal path is also great for long walks. The unit was very clean and spacious. AC throughout, basic amenities provided sufficient for a 4 night stay. Was a great base to discover both north sand south shores

Concerns
First the view is fabulousl! But the bedroom - there are issues,there: first the a/c unit. The water from the unit empties from a hose into a plastic bucket. We were lucky to return on Sunday early and the fluid was just starting to drip onto the floors we got the bucket empty or it could have been a lot worse. Second, it is a small room into which is a placed a king sized bed. On my husbands side he could barely get out.

Great location for a stay in Kauai. The condo is arguably the best location in the complex with maximum privacy! Very clean and nicely furnished. Many restaurants/shops/markets within walking distance or very short drive.

Great location!
Loved the location. Lots of stores and places to eat within walking distance. The view was amazing! Unfortunately the beach isn’t super swimmable (pretty rough), but still nice to walk and play in the surf a bit. The pool, albeit not fancy, our 6yo thoroughly enjoyed. Feeding the fish in the morning was also a highlight for her.

Perfect stay in Kapaa
This was an ideal place to stay for our first visit to Kauai. Its central location allowed us to easily explore all parts of the island. The balcony view allows for lots of people and rooster/chicken watching as well as sunrise every morning. The hosts provided everything we needed and were very good at communicating. Would absolutely recommend this property!

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie and Steven

Host profile image
Our love for Hawaii has always been something Steven and I have shared. We both grew up enjoying all of the sites, flavors and culture of Hawaii with our families, and now that we have a family of our own, we wanted to share our love of the Aloha spirit with our daughter and baby on-the-way. We can’t wait to watch them fall in love with the islands as much as we have.

Why they chose this property

We love Pono Kai Resort with all the great activities located on the complex grounds and the location is close to all of the great activities that Kauai has to offer.


What makes this property unique

We fell in love with the unit itself for the breathtaking views and how private it is being a corner-unit. This is truly our slice of paradise.
