Experience OCEANFRONT! at the Pono Kai Resort in Kauai with AMAZING Views (AC) 2BR/2BA - Kapaa

Picture yourself basking on your private lanai, soaking in the breathtaking sunrise and the rhythmic sound of waves crashing against the sandy beach just 75 FEET away. This is what your Hawaiian getaway should be, and it awaits you at "The Big Pono Aloha," a charming condo located at the renowned Pono Kai Resort in the scenic town of Kapaa, on the stunning Coconut Coast of Kauai.

"The Big Pono Aloha" serves as your home away from home, designed to provide you with everything you need for an unforgettable stay. We are Joel and Tamara, proud new owners who fell in love with this property during a month-long visit, which ultimately brought us to purchase it. Now, we are thrilled to share our beloved space with you! Although our listing may be fresh, this condo has been a beloved vacation rental for years, hosting countless satisfied guests.

In May 2019, we undertook a significant renovation of the condo, updating flooring, fixtures, paint, and adding air conditioning for your comfort. You will find complete amenities including a full kitchen, dining area, living room, private lanai, two spacious bedrooms, and two bathrooms with private entries. Additionally, enjoy access to a pool, hot tub, spa, tennis courts, exercise room, volleyball, BBQ grills, complimentary WiFi, a scenic 3-mile bike path along the ocean, and free parking!

Why pay exorbitant hotel rates of $300-$400 per night when you can indulge in the spaciousness of "The Big Pono Aloha"? Many of our guests rave about the prime location within the Pono Kai Resort, where you can relish in the amazing views from the second floor while benefiting from elevator access—ensuring convenience during your stay.

This delightful condo comfortably accommodates 2-6 guests without the hassle of a pull-out sofa. The master bedroom features a king-size bed with a private bathroom, perfect for a peaceful retreat for two. The second bedroom is ideal for families or friends, complete with a queen bed, twin bunk bed, TV, and its own access to the second bathroom. Just down the hall, you will find a coin-operated laundry facility for your convenience.

Your tropical oasis extends beyond your condo. Within mere steps, you'll find a sandy beach, pool, hot tub, elegantly landscaped gardens, tennis courts, croquet court, barbecue areas, volleyball, fitness center, and shuffleboard. Take a short stroll outside the resort to explore unique island boutiques, delightful dining options, and recreational activities in historic Kapaa.

For those warm Kauai days, three portable AC units are available in the bedrooms and kitchen; however, most guests prefer the gentle ocean breezes. Ceiling fans in the kitchen, living room, and both bedrooms ensure air circulation and comfort throughout your stay, embodying authentic Hawaiian oceanfront living.

While you have full access to all amenities, the resort does not manage this condo; therefore, communication for maintenance and other requests should be directed to us or our management team, not the front desk.

We recommend securing travel or vacation insurance to protect your plans, as we adhere strictly to our cancellation and refund policy outlined in our listing. For added security, note that our front door is equipped with a Ring Video Doorbell.

Summary: Everything about this place was awesome. The location was great since it was in between the north and south side so we could visit both without too much time in the car. The place was clean, had amazing ocean views and had everything we needed. Even beach chairs and boogie boards. The location was on a beach walking/running trail which was nice since I was training for a marathon. The hosts were top notch with communication on anything we needed. We would stay here anytime we visit Kauai.
