Many find it walkable to shops and restaurants and convenient for exploring both north and south shores. Service is frequently described as helpful and responsive, with easy check in. Common drawbacks include units without air conditioning leading to warm bedrooms, noise from upstairs neighbors, and occasional maintenance issues or dated decor; an elevator outage was also reported. Overall, expect a relaxed oceanfront base with great views, best for travelers comfortable without A/C and some potential noise.

First time staying in Kapa’a as we usually stay in Princeville. Great location for us for a few days, as it was easy access to Lihue & south parts of the island. Beautiful ocean view from the deck/living room. Bright & airy with the windows open. Well equipped & nice amenities.

Very central location making it easy to visit North and South of beautiful Kawai. The on-site playgrounds are fun and all equipment is available at the pool area (tennis racquets, putter, etc.). Beach chairs and cooler are available in the studio which is very useful. Right in front is a very nice beach good for swimming and there is natural shade from the trees near the beach. Bike and walk path in front of the ocean is great! Restaurants and markets are situated nearby. The sunrise is amazing and makes nice pictures.

This property is well taken care of, despite the salty ocean breezes trying to attack anything that is metal. All bldgs have an elevator but ours broke down about 3 days after we arrived and they are still working on it as we left. Thankfully we are only on the 2nd floor so not an issue. Our unit was furnished well and was more than adequate for our needs including wifi and cable. The kitchen had everything one would need. You don't miss not having a/c with the constant ocean breeze and the ceiling fans. The bathtub and sink drains run slowly but we will be mentioning that at checkout to management. All in all...a lovely experience that we would repeat!! Mahalo, Huma, for allowing us to share your lovely place!!

We loved the awesome ocean view we had from our balcony. Everything was provided that you could possibly need. No need for A/C, as there was always a breeze to keep the unit cool. The resort also has many games and equipment that you can use free of charge. Walking distance to so many places.

There was a notice posted at the building that from May 8th to May 31st the elevator would not be in service. Our check in was May 18th to May 23rd. The Owner (Huma) or the Manager did not notify us of no elevator service to our 2nd floor apartment. We are Seniors and booked it primarily for the convenience of an elevator. On arrival we had our luggage and groceries with us at the building in a cart provided by the resort, but discovered NO elevator. It would have been courteous of the Owner or the Manager to notify us in advance, since they had to know it was not in service during our stay. The Owner at first declared he did not know the elevator was broken, then texted he thought it would be fixed by the time we arrived. We booked over a month prior to our check in date. I was disappointed in the Owner being less than honest with us. The apartment was in a wonderful location with a great ocean breeze and comfortable even though there was no air conditioning in the unit. The only real negative about the apartment itself was my husband felt the mattress was too soft and woke up with backaches. No fault of the unit, the apartment above was very noisy with scrapping of furniture on apparently bare floors. Despite these minor difficulties we had a wonderful 5 night stay and enjoyed the location and wonderful view.

Great view of the ocean. Clean for the most part (shower could use a good cleaning) the kitchen was nice but everything else was fairly run down and there was a strong musty odor. The bed was too soft (and it was quite warm in the bedroom) so we ended up sleeping on the pull out couch (which was actually fairly comfortable) The unit was quiet and the complex was nice. Some nice restaurants close by.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great stay in unit H204! Upon arrival everything was in place and very clean. The unit is well laid out with all the comforts of home. We chose this unit because of the full kitchen as we like to cook breakfast and make lunches for our day's outing. We also like to cook a couple dinners in to keep the cost down. Every thing you need is there. The location was very central to both North and South coasts. Plus walking to stores, shave ice, bike rentals ABC store etc. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Pona Kai Resort is a great place to vacation.Beautiful grounds.Close to the beach and all amenities. C204 has a fantastic ocean view with the beach 50 yards away. The condo was nice and comfortable. Could use a little updating. Be nice to have a lounge chair on the lanai and a newer coffee maker.The herd of elephants that was above us tended to be little annoying at times. But that's the risks you take if your not on the top floor. All in all a great stay. Would highly recommend. Thanks Huma.

Ideal location on the island. Close to everything you could need. Waking up to the view was amazing, but be prepared to have everyone on the bike path get a view of you as well. The walls are semi thin, I think I just got unlucky with neighbors that had loud voices. Unit was clean and had necessities stocked.

Everything was better than we hoped for. Great location, great view, great condo! Air flow through condo was great. Only needed a fan in our bedroom twice and that was during the day. Lots of extras: beach chairs, umbrella and cooler than we used. Snorkeling supplies and kids toys as well. Kitchen had everything needed, including bonus Kauai coffee! Fridge was huge and the ice maker in it was great! The binoculars were a nice touch, so watching the whales and surfers was even better. For those that needed it, the TV was good with a lot of channels. Wi-fi worked very well. My only worry is that it will be booked up before we can get our flight plans are done for next year! Thank you Huma!

This property is very clean, updated and comfortable! Great ameneties and a great location. My only complaint is that it needs AC in the bedroom. Leaving the windows open gives zero privacy from people walking by. Leaving the lanai doors open is a safety issue and still doesnt create enough breeze for the bedroom. Aside from this, we really enjoed our stay here.

We just got home from a wonderful stay in Kauai. The condo was just what we needed, and the ocean front view was gorgeous. We had awesome sunrises each morning, and a shaded patio all afternoon. It had everything we needed in the kitchen, and had boogie boards, beach chairs and a beach umbrella for our use. We also loved the location as it was close to Safeway, and many good restaurants (try the Macadamia Sea Bass at the Lemongrass Grill). Huma was always quick to respond to any questions, and the check in/out procedure was easy. We'll keep this on our list for future visits.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great stay in unit H204! Upon arrival everything was in place and very clean. The unit is well laid out with all the comforts of home. We chose this unit because of the full kitchen as we like to cook breakfast and make lunches for our day's outing. We also like to cook a couple dinners in to keep the cost down. Every thing you need is there. The location was very central to both North and South coasts. Plus walking to stores, shave ice, bike rentals ABC store etc. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

This property is well taken care of, despite the salty ocean breezes trying to attack anything that is metal. All bldgs have an elevator but ours broke down about 3 days after we arrived and they are still working on it as we left. Thankfully we are only on the 2nd floor so not an issue. Our unit was furnished well and was more than adequate for our needs including wifi and cable. The kitchen had everything one would need. You don't miss not having a/c with the constant ocean breeze and the ceiling fans. The bathtub and sink drains run slowly but we will be mentioning that at checkout to management. All in all...a lovely experience that we would repeat!! Mahalo, Huma, for allowing us to share your lovely place!!

There was a notice posted at the building that from May 8th to May 31st the elevator would not be in service. Our check in was May 18th to May 23rd. The Owner (Huma) or the Manager did not notify us of no elevator service to our 2nd floor apartment. We are Seniors and booked it primarily for the convenience of an elevator. On arrival we had our luggage and groceries with us at the building in a cart provided by the resort, but discovered NO elevator. It would have been courteous of the Owner or the Manager to notify us in advance, since they had to know it was not in service during our stay. The Owner at first declared he did not know the elevator was broken, then texted he thought it would be fixed by the time we arrived. We booked over a month prior to our check in date. I was disappointed in the Owner being less than honest with us. The apartment was in a wonderful location with a great ocean breeze and comfortable even though there was no air conditioning in the unit. The only real negative about the apartment itself was my husband felt the mattress was too soft and woke up with backaches. No fault of the unit, the apartment above was very noisy with scrapping of furniture on apparently bare floors. Despite these minor difficulties we had a wonderful 5 night stay and enjoyed the location and wonderful view.

We just got home from a wonderful stay in Kauai. The condo was just what we needed, and the ocean front view was gorgeous. We had awesome sunrises each morning, and a shaded patio all afternoon. It had everything we needed in the kitchen, and had boogie boards, beach chairs and a beach umbrella for our use. We also loved the location as it was close to Safeway, and many good restaurants (try the Macadamia Sea Bass at the Lemongrass Grill). Huma was always quick to respond to any questions, and the check in/out procedure was easy. We'll keep this on our list for future visits.

First time staying in Kapa’a as we usually stay in Princeville. Great location for us for a few days, as it was easy access to Lihue & south parts of the island. Beautiful ocean view from the deck/living room. Bright & airy with the windows open. Well equipped & nice amenities.

Pona Kai Resort is a great place to vacation.Beautiful grounds.Close to the beach and all amenities. C204 has a fantastic ocean view with the beach 50 yards away. The condo was nice and comfortable. Could use a little updating. Be nice to have a lounge chair on the lanai and a newer coffee maker.The herd of elephants that was above us tended to be little annoying at times. But that's the risks you take if your not on the top floor. All in all a great stay. Would highly recommend. Thanks Huma.

Very central location making it easy to visit North and South of beautiful Kawai. The on-site playgrounds are fun and all equipment is available at the pool area (tennis racquets, putter, etc.). Beach chairs and cooler are available in the studio which is very useful. Right in front is a very nice beach good for swimming and there is natural shade from the trees near the beach. Bike and walk path in front of the ocean is great! Restaurants and markets are situated nearby. The sunrise is amazing and makes nice pictures.

Ideal location on the island. Close to everything you could need. Waking up to the view was amazing, but be prepared to have everyone on the bike path get a view of you as well. The walls are semi thin, I think I just got unlucky with neighbors that had loud voices. Unit was clean and had necessities stocked.
