KAUAI - KAPAA
This is the Northern and Western-most of the main Hawaiian Islands. While it is also the oldest and the rainiest, most of the rain falls in the mountains.
The Kapaa area experiences little rainfall in comparison to the mountain areas. Kauai is the lushest of the islands and, in the opinion of many, the prettiest. This East side of the island is known as the "Coconut Coast". It's especially inviting to west-coast-mainland guests who love seeing daily SUNRISES over the ocean.
PONO KAI COMPLEX
The condo complex is very well maintained and equipped (there are night-time security patrols). It has a mile-long, golden sand beach and many palm trees, as well as other tropical shrubs and flowers.
The complex also has a swimming pool, with a jacuzzi and saunas, two tennis courts, croquet court, shuffleboard courts and a small putting green overlooking the ocean. There is also a work-out room, with exercise equipment, located near the lobby in Bldg-K.
Games, videos, beach equipment and bicycles can be checked out at the front desk area. There is also an Activity Desk to assist you in booking tourist activities. The Activity Desk sponsors an Island Briefing each Thursday and Sunday morning (8:am) at the pool area. Local vendors will describe their activities (boating, Kayak trip, nature tours, etc.) and offer a "2 for 1" drawing. It's a great way to learn about KAUAI and plan your stay. - The briefing is no charge + "free goodies".
BUILDINGS "B" & "C"
Our units are located in the "B" & "C" buildings. Both have un-obstructed views of the ocean and are about fifty (50) yards from the beach. The buildings are equipped with elevators and coin-operated laundry equipment on the ground floor. At the end of each building is a gas BBQ and a shower spigot to wash the salt and sand off after being on the beach
OUR UNITS
The "B" building unit (B-306) is on the 3rd floor. The "C" building unit (C-204) is on the 2nd floor. Both are one-bedroom units (about 740 sq. feet with identical floor plans) with a kitchen, bedroom (with a queen-sized bed, color TV and wall safe in the closet), bath (with tub/shower), hallway storage closet and living/dining area.
Although these beachfront units do not have air conditioning, they are both equipped with ceiling and floor fans which provide comfort while affording enjoyment of the wonderful ocean air and sounds.
In Both Units: Living-area furniture is rattan and includes a queen-size sleeper sofa, a desk (with extra drawers for your personal items during your stay), plus a dinette set for 4, tables and etagere' (which holds a flat screen color TV + a DVD player).

We have stocked the kitchen with many of the usual items (foil, plastic wrap, baggies, etc.) and spices and condiments. NOTE: if you use the last of the catsup, for example, please buy a bottle for the next guest.
One of the special areas is the "lanai" (balcony) where you can soak in an early ocean sunrise in comfort on the chaise lounge, table and chairs provided.
