Paradise
Jan 11, 2020
We stayed at this condo for the month of December 2019 and found it absolutely perfect! The view to the ocean was amazing and hearing the waves is so calming. Being able to walk out your door and take the path along the ocean for miles kept us fit! The location, mid island, was so convenient and walking distance to Kapaa and restaurants worked out perfectly! Sarah and Sue were a pleasure to work with and solved any issues we had promptly! I would definitely rent this condo again!
Fine but windows/doors need renovation
Nov 21, 2019
The property is located in a great position - close to everything in Kapaa. We especially enjoyed eating at a health food shop called "Papayas" which is very close to the property. Unfortunately Kauai still has not banned smoking on county beaches, so my one walk along the beach in front of the property was marred by all the people smoking and all the cigarette butts. I didn't enjoy breathing in second hand smoke. Regarding the condition of the property, it is very disappointing to find that most of the windows are in need of replacement as they don't lock without having to put a plastic bolster in the window sill. We wanted to leave the windows partially open at night time and had to get creative and find different length bolsters or other items to keep the window open but still have it secured. It was a worry the whole time being on the ground floor and annoying not to be able to have the sliding glass doors that open to the ocean open and secured at night time. I was told when I rang up that there would be a wooden dowel in the door in order to be able to have it open. I expected when I got there to find a wooden dowel that was shorter than the door in order to be able to have the door partially open. But it was a plastic bolster that was the same size as the door - all you could do was keep the door shut, not keep it open. There needs to be bolsters of different sizes available so that people can prop the door open at night (or in the day) and not have to worry about security. Also the TV was really hard to work out and the very brief instructions didn't help. There needs to be better instructions especially if you end up on the netflix etc. and how to get back to regular TV. Disappointingly the Netflix didn't work unless you have your own account. Other places we've stayed, the account information was provided or they had netflix already working when you walked in. Can't hear ocean with windows/doors closed.
Sun rises out your bedroom window over the ocean.

I had many great communications with Sarah at Garden Island Prop. She is prompt, respectful, and kind. The vacation was wonderful. Weather was low 80’s during the day and low 70’s at night. The rental unit was very nice. Nice kitchen. Comfortable bed. Wonderful patio with ocean views. There is one thing in this space that absolutely needs to be replaced - the sofa has springs popping in it to make it lopsided, lumpy and not usable. Overall, loved the unit and location. Easy walk to city.
This was a beautiful unit located in a paradise like setting.
Nov 02, 2019
This was an ideal place to indulge in the island of Kauai - its scenery, its smells, the feel of its warm breezes. We enjoyed the rental immensely and it was a perfect fit for all of our needs, very roomy and comfortable. The shower in the master bath was luxourious and the beds especially comfortable.
Lovely location, but we'll choose a different unit when we return
Sep 20, 2019
Location was beautiful as described. However, the details were lacking. Most important, most of the surrounding units have AC but this one does not. There is a ceiling fan in the second bedroom, but the fan cannot be made to go faster than the lowest speed, which was totally inadequate. We sweated all night. There also is no fan in the second bathroom, and an open window is not adequate to cool it off. We were not able to get the unit itself to a cool-enough temperature given how warm and humid the weather was and given the need to lock up all doors and window at night.The appliances and kitchen amenities were lacking. The electric teapot does not work and there is no tea kettle. The coffee maker has to be turned on and off by plugging in and unplugging the unit. There were not enough drinking glasses and not enough plates -- we had to run the dishwasher at least once each day. There was only one decent beach chair in the unit. The others were rusty and too small.The unit was clean as expected when we arrived.It's unfortunate that the checkout time is so early. I hope someone reads this review and makes some changes. We would not go back to this unit.
Great condo!
May 05, 2019
Have spent the last few years renting this condo. Great location and ocean front view. Kitchen and bathrooms recently updated and they are lovely.
Fantastic Suite, Excellent Location on Island and on property
May 02, 2019
We had a wonderful vacation, staying for 8 nights. Patio door opens up into a wonderful steady warm breeze, good size grass area in back for young kids to run around, and the beach and ocean beyond made for amazing sunrises every morning. The communal BBQ is right next to the suite so we had fresh BBQ meals daily.Property was very clean, had all the tools we needed to enjoy ourselves. There was the odd area under maintenance that was irrelevant (shutters were being replaced ) but didn't affect our enjoyment at all.Keep the kids away from touching the Fan remote controls!Regarding geographic location, having now put about 1000+ miles on the rental car over 2 trips to kauai, we love the eastern location. Its actually very central, considering the island HWY is like a horseshoe, it would be right around the middle. This property will be a favorited for sure, and we plan to come back!Enjoy
Comfy place to stay
Mar 23, 2019
Condo was clean, well appointed and spacious for our family of 4.
A great place to stay in Kapaa
Dec 12, 2018
B109 is a ground floor, ocean front unit that is spacious and clean. The bathrooms, kitchen, and furnishings are updated and nicely kept. The grounds are well kept, and the staff pleasant and helpful. The location is wonderful. Easy walk to town. Great access to cute cafes and bars. There is a walking/bike path along the beach that made for an easy walk to town, and various parks. My husband and I are in our 70s and it was easy to walk several miles a day.
Lovely property!
Aug 22, 2018
We stayed in B109. It was beautifully furnished. The location was amazing. The only thing that keeps me from rating it a perfect 10 is that it was advertised as having has many fans, but no AC.
B109
Aug 07, 2018
Absolutely Amazing. Not only in the location and facility wonderful but the owners equipped it perfectly! We truly appreciated all of the things that were there, that made staying for just 1 week SO helpful...ex) pack n play, shampoo/conditioner, dish detergent, etc.
Awesome vacation on Kauai
Jul 26, 2018
Great property/location and professional staff. Unit was clean and very comfortable. Looking forward to our next visit.
Great Location, Beautiful View
Jul 09, 2018
This condo is in a great central location to visit the entire Island of Kauai. The condo was well equipped with everything we needed. Surprised to find a small ice chest and beach chairs too. Perfect for a family or two couples. I would highly recommend this condo as well as Garden Island Properties for your vacation in Kauai. My only negative was that the bed in the master was way too soft for me.
Pono Kai B109 Review
Jun 18, 2018
Very nice property with an excellent ocean view. Only complaint was that the unit had a strong paint odor during our stay. When the windows were open it wasn't a big deal, but enough to knock it down to 4 stars. The resort is nice too with enough activities to keep you busy for hours.
Pono Kai was fabulous
May 29, 2018
Perfect location, close to everything! All excursions were easily made from Kapaa. Unit was clean and equipped with utensils, dishes, and all beach gear.
East Shore Delight!
Mar 12, 2018
We really loved being on the ground floor so our boys can run in the grass and be so close to the ocean. It was just enough space for 3 boys and us, the laundry was conveniently located just a few doors away, and all the shops and cafés or walking distance. The condo was well stocked with kitchen items, towels, and even some toiletries. The workout room was very nice and parking was also very easy to find. Looking forward to our next visit!
Location is everything with this one!
Jan 18, 2018
The location is fantastic for those wanting to wake up right on the beach every day and take in the breezes, wild life and have access to the bike / walking path. The unit is huge compared to most 2 bedrooms and has tons of room for enjoying the unit, indoors and out. The walk out lanai allows you to access the grass, covered lanai, putting green and shoreline.The kitchen is small but has an island that makes for more prep room. The refridg is too big for the space making squeaking by it impossible for more than two people in the kitchen. The unit has basic kitchen set up, but I wouldn't call it fully stocked or updated. Most of the equipment and utensils are outdated and seem to be a collection of random pieces. The appliances are nice and work well.The internet didn't work right the entire time we were there. We ignored that and just used our hot spots on our phones. Beds and linens were great, nice and comfortable in both rooms.Windows and screens need to be updated. Some are torn and were fixed by someone with tape. Others didn't really open or slide well.Overall I would give this unit a 10 for location and spaciousness. A 7 for the rest of it.
Great vacation
Jan 15, 2018
Fantastic oceanfront view and access, although set back a little to rest of block so very shaded. Well furnished and clean, kitchen could use a little more equipment for guests that like to cook. Lovely bedding, lots of towels and beach stuff, chairs were a little basic.Great resort, lots of activities and close to town and ocean pathway.
Great central location, wonderful stay
Nov 30, 2017
This was a central location and was ideal for our vacation. The unit was a nice big open floor plan with comfortable furniture and plenty of seating. The bathrooms were spacious and had plenty of towels for use. The bedrooms were also a nice size w king beds and ample closet space w lots of hangers. The master bedroom had a perfect ocean view. The kitchen had All the dishes we needed and plenty of soap, towels and dish towels. However, the unit didn’t carry any additional items people often use like zip lock bags, tin foil or saran wrap, straws or panrty cooking essentials i.e olive oil, spices. They had plenty of beach towels and beach accessories. The grounds at Pono Kai are well maintained w plenty of BBQ’s. We loved this place for our family vacation and would return to this unit for future vacations!
A Week at Pono Kai
Nov 24, 2017
The layout and amenities at Pono Kai were good.Unfortunately the front desk gave me the wrong code to the door andI had to return to get help. This meant I waited in line and lost time.The Internet at the apartment I was in did not work for me nor for the maintenance service. On my third day I got help and was connected to a neighbour's system. However several times a day my computer reverted to the apartment I was in so I got messages that I was not connected and I had to get back to the other apartment's internet which was annoying and wasted time.Neither tv worked.The one in the living room was fixed after I insisted. Apparently it is not the job of the maintenance staff to replace batteries but they didThe tv in the bedroom worked only briefly after a lot of trouble with the contacts that have oxidised.I would not have rented this apartment if I had known I would not have working tvs and internet
Great location and view
Nov 16, 2017
Clean, spacious rooms with glass doors opening right out to the ocean well stocked kitchen and lots of extra pillows and towels. Grounds are well kept and the location is perfect.

Fantastic location on the beach. Office was extremely helpful in obtaining tours and things to do.
Awesome!
Aug 23, 2017
All was great, but a little misceiving with the price and taxes and fees!
Fourth of July
Jul 12, 2017
Nice place looks exactly like the picture. Good location and proximity to the beach. Even though we had a nice ocean breeze most of the time air conditioning is really necessary some of the time as the heat and humidity were intense. I appreciated the beach towels, chairs and the cooler to make life easier. We could have used a few more bath towels, and some of the kitchen items are a bit worn but all in all a nice place to stay.
Thrid year, already booked for next year!
Jun 05, 2017
This was our first year with Garden Island in charge of the condo. They did an A-1 job working with us on our reservations. We were happy with the few updates and hope there are more for next year. The maint. staff responded to our few problems promptly. Looking forward to next April.
Beautiful relaxing place!
May 06, 2017
Clean, roomy, cozy, comfortable. I recommended this place with a great view of the ocean, the beach and sunsets!!��
A Taste of Paradise
Apr 12, 2017
This is a well kept condo and is located centrally to the island of Kauai. Our stay there was delightful. No a/c, but having an end unit helped with the flow of wind off the ocean through the front and out the back windows. I had trouble contacting the rental agency through the office number provided, and had to use the emergency number for what I considered non emergencies. The blender was broken when we arrived, but the property manager replaced it with a much better one. The location was walking distance to many amenities, and though we were right in town, we were far away from road noise, and only heard the ocean! I would not hesitate to stay here again. The kitchen was well stocked, tho' the fridge was almost too big for where it was located.
Spring Break at Pono Kai
Apr 10, 2017
We loved this unit so much we ended up buying a timeshare at this location! It is the perfect location on Kauai. The staff were very attentive and the resort and unit were very clean. We will be returning for many years to come!
Beautiful Sunrises
Apr 05, 2017
I was surprised on how many things you can do at the property. It was very nice place to stay and would do it again.

It was a great location and beautiful view. We enjoyed our stay very much.
Great Central Location in a Beautiful Setting
Nov 01, 2016
We spent 2 weeks in Oct 2016 at this condo with another couple and the unit and Pono Kai resort were incredible! The view was exactly as pictured. There were a few updates to furniture since the photos including a higher kitchen table and a stainless steel fridge. Nice reading lamps in the bedroom. Property Mgr was easy to contact when needed to resolve a minor plumbing issue and accommodated our 1 hour late checkout. The reason for 4/5 on general condition and cleanliness was the windows and shutters. I'm sure the salt water and humidity make it extremely hard to keep these white shutters clean but you almost didn't want to touch them and they were a bit difficult to open and close because of the stickiness. One needs replacing in the master bedroom. Overall we loved the central location, beautiful grounds, beautiful view and wonderfully equipped condo! Thanks you very much for a great vacation!!
Good, nice location close to the beach
Oct 13, 2016
Very nice Condo with oceanfront, you find everything you need in the appartment, beds were a bit too soft for us. We stayed in the groundfloor appt. andvdue wooden floor you could hear the people walking upstairs. The garden furniture were a bit old but overall a good location.
Location for the cost is wonderful
Sep 01, 2016
The location of this condo and the view of the ocean was terrific, especially for the overall cost. There is also a great walking/biking path right outside your door, which we enjoyed every morning with a cup of coffee.Because of the location, size of the condo and cost, I rate the whole stay 4 stars but do want to note a few things on this property for someone considering another stay:1.) There is no A/C. I did not think to check for this so I was disappointed and uncomfortable on our arrival when we realized there was no A/C in our stuffy new home. The trade winds off the ocean were not blowing so with no airflow, we were miserable as we were settling in and cooking dinner. Once the winds picked up and we figured out a strategy with the fans, we were comfortable the following days but this feature is worth noting as a downside.2.) The place is starting to be run down, not all the pictures are accurate, and the furniture/amenities could use updating. Different elements of the place are showing wear and tear and need some love and care. There is rust on the windows, closet doors are broken, and it could use a really good deep cleaning. Also, the pictures online for the property show more decor, etc which is no longer there. The furniture inside and out seems old and worn, some updating would be ideal here.3.) We had ants in the kitchen. Not an overwhelming problem, but an annoying one.Overall, the town of Kapa'a was a great spot for us to access the island without being surrounded by hotels, and we enjoyed the condo in the end, especially considering the rate. I would recommend this property, but with the caveats noted above.
