About this property

Summary:

Wake up to a light-filled North Shore home, then spend the day choosing between Hanalei Bay, Anini Beach, or a simple pool afternoon close by. This renovated Mauna Kai condo in Princeville has three bedrooms, two baths, and room for up to seven guests, with a king bed, two upgraded queens, and a queen sofa bed. Floor-to-ceiling windows and vaulted ceilings bring in Kauai’s soft light, while a distant peek of the ocean adds a quiet reminder of where you are. The modern kitchen, dining area, and breakfast bar make family meals easy, and the on-site pool gives everyone a nearby reset. Princeville Center is close for coffee and groceries, while Hanalei’s pier, beach, and town are a short drive away. This is a bright, comfortable fit for a family or group that wants a true North Shore base with room to gather.

The Space:

The recently renovated interior pairs an open plan with vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows, giving this three-bedroom, two-bath condo a light, airy feel. It sleeps seven with a king in the main bedroom, two upgraded queen beds, and a queen sofa bed. The kitchen is modern and well equipped, with a dining area and bar seating for meals together. Look out for the distant ocean peek from inside.

Guest Access:

Guests at Mauna Kai in Princeville have access to a shared communal pool for cooling off between beach days. The grounds include a disabled parking spot, and family friendly touches like children's books and toys make it easy to settle in. A short walk brings you to the beach and Princeville's north shore views.

The Neighborhood:

Mauna Kai is set in Princeville on Kauai’s North Shore, where green fairways, mountain views, and deep tropical color are part of the everyday scene. Princeville Center is close for coffee, groceries, and a casual meal. Hanalei Bay is a short drive for its broad sandy beach, surf, and the historic pier, while Anini Beach offers a gentler shoreline for a slower day. This is a peaceful, green base for families and friends who want to explore the North Shore at their own pace.

Getting Around:

Lihue Airport is about 40 minutes away via a scenic drive along Kauai's coast. A rental car is highly recommended since the North Shore's beaches, restaurants, and Hanalei's shops are spread out. Princeville itself offers walkable access to some shops and dining, while beaches like Hanalei Bay are a short drive. Parking is typically available in lots or driveways at most properties.

Other Things to Note:

This property is managed by Heavenly Vacations.

Communication with the host was very easy and any questions I had got answered promptly. I didn’t realize the property didn’t have a hot tub, just a pool. The kids were happy with the pool and the water was warm enough for them. We actually spent so much time at the nearby beaches that we didn’t spend as much time in the pool area as we thought we would so it all worked out. The A/C units and fans throughout the condo made it easy to keep the rooms at a comfortable temperature (we were there at the end of May). The kitchen is well stocked with nice pots and pans and we were able to do a lot of our own cooking to save money from eating out. The food town market is minutes away which made it easy to pick up anything we needed. Lots of walking trails around the area. We had a wonderful stay in the Princeville area and we would stay here again.

Great property. Only issue was we had a problem this morning with electrical on 1st floor. I think it was a breaker issue. Suggestion would be to put something in the booklet advising how to fix.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this unit. It was well maintained. The kitchen had everything we needed as far as pots, pans, serving ware and utensils. The refrigerator had an ice maker (bonus)! The bedrooms were very well appointed with comfortable beds, clean linens and clean bathrooms with plenty of towels. There were beach chairs for our beach outings. The kitchen area opened up to the family room and breakfast nook so that when we were at home we were together eating and playing games or just chatting in the open family room. That's what we love doing when not exploring the north shore, so thank you for sharing your townhome with our family.

Kaua’i is the most beautiful island I have ever travelled to! I stayed in Mauna Kai 5 with five of my girlfriends and was delighted with the atmosphere, cleanliness and amenities provided to us. The location is perfect with easy access to Hanalei and a beach only five minutes walk away. We were greeted with sweet treats and fruit from the island. The three rooms were very spacious, with accessibility to a pull out couch and a tv with many options to choose from. The kitchen was also great for cooking, which was definitely a money saver compared to going out to eat. I would 10/10 recommend staying at this location and will be back to experience it again!

Very comfortable condo with plenty of room for a family of four. Two teens so each had their own bedroom which is a plus on a longer vacation! The decor is cute and the beds are comfortable. The third bedroom downstairs (without the deck) got hot at night. The kitchen needs a new skillet. Otherwise great stay! The beach chairs and umbrella are an awesome touch.

I'm not sure exactly where to start. When we arrived everything seemed to be in order. However, as the week went on there were things that were affecting our stay. First, the A/C is a wall unit; it looks like it could be the original but we don't know. The outside was very dirty, which probably means that the cover has never been removed and inside cleaned of mold/mildew. The unit itself is on 2 floors (could be a problem for someone who struggles with stairs;) this bit of information was left off the description when we booked. There is no way it could cool down the space upstairs, let alone the lower level. We took the upper BR and one of the jalousie windows wouldn't even open. Another jalousie window in the main area was totally missing one of it's bottom glass louvers. The ceiling fan in the upper BR only operated on the lowest speed, which didn't give much air movement. It was hot and muggy with the temps and humidity. In the lower smaller BR there was a fan up in the corner by the ceiling. It made noise but didn't blow any air out. Our son and wife were in the BR and it had a musty odor. As far as the kitchen, the kitchen faucet moved in its location; it wasn't stationery as it should be. There was only one medium size frying pan. It had a teflon finish (not a healthy finish for cooking) that is started wearing off. It didn't sit flat on the cooktop, and the handle was loose. We did use it every day as we cooked our meals in the condo. In the bathroom downstairs there was a fan (washer/dryer was in this bathroom,) that was covered in dust/dirt that had accumulated over time. While there was a broom for sweeping up, there was no dust pan; we used a thinner piece of cardboard to sweep dirt on. As we were getting into the week (we were there a total of 9 days,) we noticed we were getting low on toilet paper, paper towels and detergent. I texted Vacasa and they sent my request to the owner, Valerie. We texted back and forth, and she informed me they don't supply again and it was our responsibility to pay for any additional items we needed. As we continued texting she asked me to send pics of some of the items I was discussing as listed above. We said we would and took pics and videos and tried to send it over and it came back undeliverable. Unfortunately, it left us with a negative feeling about our stay there. If you don't mind the humidity then you won't mind staying in this unit, but if it bothers you as it did us then this won't be a good fit for your party. I don't want to end on a totally negative note. The unit itself was furnished nicely. We did appreciate that they had sand chairs available, as well as boogie boards to use at the beach. And, the pool was quite close and our grandchildren really enjoyed spending time there. Overall, we were disappointed with the above complaints we had, and especially the way Valerie handled communicating with us, and then blocked our text back to her.

Overall everything was great. It should be noted that the A/C is only a small unit in the living room upstairs and doesn’t extend to the two downstairs bedrooms. It only really gets into the upstairs bedroom if you leave the door open. There are some slots in the bedroom wall to try to let air through, but they don't help a ton. There are ceiling fans but they don't provide much relief either. There are 3 additional fans that were provided but one more would be appreciated. We gave up our fan in the upstairs bedroom to the downstairs. The kitchen is very functional which was great. There's a grocery store within walking distance which was also nice. The parking is an issue after 9/10 pm. The spots aren't assigned and the lot fills quickly at night. During the day it wasn't an issue. There is an overflow parking lot at the community center you can use that's a bit of a walk (10 minutesish) and you need a pass to park overnight. So be aware if you're coming in late you're going to have to park farther away. Since this is managed by vacasa we couldn't directly communicate with the owners which wasn't ideal since vacasa didn't seem to have any information other then the bare minimum which wasn't very helpful. Overall we would stay here again though.
