Mauna Kai 5B is the perfect retreat for large traveling groups looking to relax in style! You'll find all the familiar comforts of home inside this beautifully updated condo, and the central location to Kaua'i's North Shore makes it the ideal base for all your island adventures. The generous living space includes a fully stocked kitchen, upstairs and downstairs living rooms, dedicated work space for the digital nomads, and three comfortably appointed bedrooms. The floor-to-ceiling windows in the main living space look out onto the huge, shaded, wraparound lanai, which allows you to take full advantage of Kaua'i's outdoor beauty while maintaining your privacy. For your added comfort, the downstairs master suite and queen bedroom are air conditioned.
A 2024 Traveler Review Award winning rental, Mauna Kai 5B is centrally located in Princeville, allowing for easy access to island hotspots like Hanalei, Anini Beach, and Kapa'a. The famous golden sands of Anini Beach are just a short 10-minute hike away down a shaded tree-lined path, making it easy to enjoy sun and surf. The property is also right next to the lush Makai Golf Course, where you can enjoy a morning walk along the scenic greenbelt, or take the path to the 1 Hotel at the far end of Princeville. The Westin Resort, just a 5-minute walk down Wyllie Road, provides convenient access to a Starbucks, grab-and-go mini-mart, and upscale dining at Nanea Restaurant. For even more options, the Princeville Shopping Center, with a variety of boutique shops, casual dining spots, and the Foodland grocery store, is just a 10-minute walk away. Be sure to check out Tiki Iniki for happy hour, and don’t miss the delicious shave ice (snow-capped is a must!). Every Saturday, you can also visit the Princeville Farmer’s Market for fresh local produce and unique island goods, before enjoying the free afternoon hula show at the Shopping Center!
If you’re in the mood for more exploring, the quaint town of Hanalei is just a 10-minute drive away, as are the stunning beaches and calm waters of Hanalei Bay. For a deeper connection to Hawaiian culture, a visit to Limahuli Gardens (30 minutes by car) offers spectacular views and an educational experience on native plants and the island’s history. For excursions on the East Side or South Shore, be sure to budget your time accordingly. Drive time to the East Side (where the airport is located) is roughly 50 minutes, and to the South Shore is about 75 minutes.
If you prefer to enjoy a true staycation, Mauna Kai offers fantastic amenities. The spacious pool area is equipped with plenty of sun loungers, gas grills, and a shaded cabana with outdoor dining tables – perfect for unwinding after a day of island exploration or enjoying a family BBQ. Whether you’re here to relax, explore, or simply enjoy the beauty of Kaua'i, Mauna Kai 5B is the ideal base for your vacation!.

We had a fabulous stay in Princeville. This location was clean with beautiful modern decor. The place was big enough for 6 of us to be comfortable and not on top of each other. The management team checked in on us which gave us peace of mind. We would definitely stay in this home again! Mahalo!

Reviewer Comments:
The master bedroom, living room, kitchen and balcony are wonderful, beautifully decorated and breezy. The Ist floor main bedroom is very simple and small. The upstairs bedroom is very hot with no outside windows. Though there are fans, the room requires AC to be a good place to sleep. It would not be tolerable in warm months.

This was an amazingly lovely and spacious condo. The complex is well maintained. The pool is just a few steps away. Since we stayed in January, the lack of AC wasn't an issue, but I'd rethink the use of the third bedroom in hotter months.

We loved our stay in this beautiful property. There were 5 of us - 3 adults, 1 teenager, and a preteen. Close to the beach and shopping. The listing was exactly as represented.

We were a family of 5 flown in from another country the day we checked in. The property was very spacious, bright and airy. The beds were comfortable and the tropical surrounds were beautiful.
We are used to staying in other self contained accommodation which I have not been allowed to mention! around the world including mainland US but not with VRBO. We were very surprised to find that no shampoo/conditioner or body wash was provided even though it was mentioned that there will be a starter pack and bring your own toiletries? We are on holidays so was definitely not expecting to have to go and buy huge bottles of shampoo etc and worry about the toilet paper running out for the three bathrooms. And there’s no mentioned what was in the starter pack. There were lots of cutlery but not enough wine and drinking glasses or plates so we had to do a lot of hand washing because there wasn't enough dish washing tablets for our one week stay. As it’s prime holiday period we paid a lot of money so was very disappointed to have to go out and buy a lot of things as soon as we arrived. Well now we know what VRBO properties are like so we will reconsider renting with them again.

This unit had ample space for family to spend time together and space for rest or reading quiet time away from each other. The deck is incredibly large. As a repeat visitor to the islands I’d love to pick this unit up and plant one on each location I visit as the deck and floor plan were the best we have seen.

The remodel is really nice and the condo was super clean. There were a few hick ups and I probably would not choose to stay here again. There is no AC which I knew but it would have been nice to have the fans running when we arrived because it was sooooo hot inside therefore no one wanted to go in. The freezer was broken which they told me about the day before our stay so we had no choice. There are no beach chairs but there is a broken umbrella. No master closet to hang clothes in so my suitcase was on the floor in a mess for the time we stayed. The master bath toilet is not bolted to the floor.
The window AC in the master worked well once we turned the fans on but the window AC unit in the other downstairs bedroom did not work. The upstairs loft does not cool off at all and does not have windows. If none of these things would bother you then this is a nice quiet garden condo. Pool is nice also and parking wasn't hard. Overall we had a nice time and just used the place to sleep. Kauai is amazing and we can't wait to go back.
