You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A Welcoming Beachfront 2BR/2BA, Vacation Home, W/D, AC, STEPS TO BEACH!

This is a completely renovated 2 bedroom/2 bath 1,148 sq ft. condo within a stones throw from the beach! When you enter the unit you will be taken aback by the Hawaiian vibes! Open the patio door and immediately feel the ocean breeze from the trade winds and smell the fresh saltwater air! The next morning you will awaken to the warm glow of sunrise. Come sit on the lanai with your first cup of coffee and enjoy the views. You are also located right on the walking/bike path called Ke Ala Hele Makalae ('the path that goes by the coast') which travels along the coastline for miles offering spectacular views of the pacific ocean and perhaps some local wildlife.....You'll now know what paradise feels like.

The condo is on the 1st floor in Building A unit 101 at the Pono Kai Resort, within steps of the ocean. You will be lulled to sleep with the gentle sound of the ocean surf. One bedroom features a king bed and the other has a set of twin beds that can be pushed together for another king sleeping space to ensure a restful night's sleep. Air conditioning units are in the living room and master bedroom. A portable unit is in the second bedroom for your comfort during the summer months.

The unit has a fully updated kitchen with granite countertops; a new cooktop self-cleaning oven; a full-size microwave oven; dishwasher and tons of cabinet space; and all of the pots/pans/dishes/utensils needed to enjoy a meal. The kitchen is fully equipped, you will not need to worry about running out and buying that essential item to cook with. And if you plan on creating that perfect Hawaiian dinner, or even just a BBQ, spices are available in the kitchen or pick some fresh at the herb garden.

There are new marble floors and a walk-in marble shower in the master bath & a new deep soaking tub in the guest bath. There are all-new window coverings and a comfortable tropical-designed furniture package that includes a queen sleeper sofa bed in the living room with a ComfortCool Gel mattress for that restful sleep after a busy day at the beach! The unit includes a full-size washer/dryer with detergent, which is an unusual feature on-site. There is free wireless WI-FI service and a smart TV in the living room, as well as a TV in each bedroom. There are amenities galore to lighten your luggage weight. Large beach towels/beach chairs/beach coolers/hair dryers/shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel/ iron/ are all provided. There is even a pack & play and a booster seat if needed for a baby/toddler.

You will find your condo in the beautiful Pono Kai Resort with 12 acres of meticulously manicured grounds with NO added resort or parking fees, but includes a pool, hot tub, koi ponds, a guest-accessible herb garden, croquet, mini-golf, pickle-ball, fitness room, propane-gas BBQs, and other amenities. It is in the historic town of Kapaa, centrally located on the East Side of Kauai. It is convenient to all of the Garden Isle attractions; is only 20 minutes from Lihue Airport and walking distance from many restaurants, grocery, and fun shops and stores, but don't forget to visit the local food trucks for some absolutely delicious local eats!

The resort itself provides free parking and the parking for the "A" building is right out front of your door. For your convenience, the front desk is open 24 hrs and there is an activities/concierge desk in the lobby so you can arrange your island adventures or just pick out a good book and enjoy it on a hammock near the beach.

We require a minimum age of 25 years or older to rent. Proof of age may be requested at the time of rental. Children accompanied by their parents are welcome. This perfect property offers a quaint and phenomenal experience for guests. Your stay will be nothing short of exceptional. Make your holiday one to always remember with "E KOMO MAI KAUAI........THE OPEN ARMS THAT GREET YOU WITH ALOHA IN KAUAI"....!

Excellent property and a wonderful host!

This property is excellent for a family vacation with young children! There is ample room to play, and Baby Beach is within walking distance. Kapaa is a great town with virtually everything you need and is within walking distance of the condo. Susan is a great host. One of the fans wasn't working, and she had a worker come out the next day to fix it. We couldn't be happier with our selection, and we will definitely be coming back next year.

We just returned from a Holiday stay at this property and cannot say enough good things. Well appointed with all your kitchen needs, beach needs and the location is stellar! Susan was great! Walk to Sam's Ocean View for happy hour or brunch. They have live music at night. Gaylords for Sunday brunch was also really good. Thank you Susan.....we will be back.

Great place!!

We really enjoyed staying in this condo. The location was great with a green space and beach right out the door for our young kids to play. The resort had many fun family things to do. The kids especially enjoyed feeding the fish at the pond. Staying in Kapaa was great as we felt it was easy to travel North or South depending on the weather. Susan was very accommodating and helpful. Her condo was clean, organized and well stocked with beach gear. We would definitely recommend this condo to anyone. Aloha!!

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.

Peaceful Paradise

Susan was a wonderful host and her property was really spectacular! We enjoyed the central yet quiet location that was so close to nature with the lawn, beach, and coastal sidewalk right outside the door along with nearby shops, restaurants, and businesses. The unit was very spacious, clean, well supplied (e.g. towels, laundry, beach supplies), updated, and perfect for our stay. Susan was very punctual and great with replying to any emails/questions that I had and had a great guide book in the unit to help us figure out what to do while there. Will definitely come back!

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!

This condo is the best-with the best owners

Dave and Nancy are great! They made everything so easy and helpful it took the burden off of us with no worries at all on the property. They are very very responsive and gave us tips and pointers when asked-fast. Everything about the property is well thought out, even a spice rack. We used the kitchen a lot and for us after a tired day was very helpful to have all the conveniences of home. They extended our checkout time because of a late departure and provided “last day” suggestions. I will stay here again on my next Kaua’i trip. Thanks Dave and Nancy!!

Great location

The property fit my party of 5 well and the location was very convenient. We loved being on ground floor ocean front. We appreciated the beach chairs, boogie boards, and beach towels available for our use. The sofa bed was comfortable and air conditioning worked perfectly. We also appreciated the laundry soap and having easy access to a washer and dryer.We couldn’t find a dustpan to help manage the sand but made do and it was nice to have the vacuum available. We used a bucket full of water on the back patio to do an extra foot rinse before coming indoors and that helped manage sand as well. We didn’t utilize the resort amenities during our stay but they seemed nice as well. Thanks for a great stay!
