The unit was spacious and clean, and the beds were comfortable. Everything was functional - fans, lights, TV, kitchen appliances, washer.- with the minor exception that we had some troubles with the dryer. The unit has beach chairs in the outside closet and a couple of functional snorkel sets (the beach umbrella was not working). We had a very pleasant stay. ##### Eduardo G. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandy W. 19 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Spacious and Well-Stocked Home Away from Home We were very comfortable in this spacious condo with the most extensive decks (and best chaise longues) I've ever seen. Sarah was an excellent host with detailed suggestions and instructions before arrival and throughout our stay. The kitchen had everything we needed, and we did cook virtually all of our meals (or packed a picnic); she even had a coffee frother for my morning coffee! The full-size laundry machines were a big help as you can’t pack enough for two weeks without multiple washings, and the pool is a particularly nice one. We didn't realize this unit is directly on a road so the traffic noise was noticeable. Be aware that Kauai “enjoys” the unique situation of wild chickens and roosters everywhere, so be prepared for constant crowing wherever you stay. Princeville is just under an hour from the airport on the two-lane road that follows the coast; if you are going to the North End of the island, this is a lovely unit to rent for your stay. ##### Sandy W.

Owner was very easy and great to communicate with. Landscaping on property was impeccable. Very nice and large pool for kids. Apartment itself was huge with plenty of room for downtime. Overall cleanliness was good. As all apartments need from time to time, a deep cleaning of cabinets, bathroom and floors was needed. Proximity to view in neighboring condo was slightly awkward at times. All in all we had an amazing time and was very satisfied with our stay. We’d definitely love to come again. Thanks Sarah for being so responsive. ##### Chris E.

We had trouble finding the condo because the walkways were not lit. Condo was well furnished, comfortable, and clean (except for ceiling fans). We received almost an immediate response from Sarah every time we made contact. A couple of Interior steps to master bedroom and master bath. Both bathrooms were roomy and we had plenty of hot water and great water pressure. The lanai was fabulous and extremely spacious. Plenty of towels. Overall a great stay! ##### b i.

The condo is well located in Princeville—with convenient food shopping within walking distance and good restaurants nearby in Hanalei (about a 5 minute drive), including great coffee, poke, and shaved ice. Terrific beaches, snorkeling, kayaking, paddling all close by the condo too—we loved Anini beach especially for snorkeling, seeing lots of sea turtles. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked—and the porch is lovely in the early morning and evenings. Lots of roosters around—they tend to be on their own time clock—so they will sometimes wake you at 3 am—and that will be the case anywhere you stay in Kauai—just be aware! The back of the condo is close to a road—so there were some traffic noises—but nothing later than 10 pm and none in our party found that it interfered with our use or enjoyment of the condo. The grounds of the condo are beautifully landscaped, and the pool is often empty—and lovely in the late afternoon. I would not rely on the snorkeling equipment provided by the host—you really need to be fitted—snorkeling equipment is inexpensive to rent lots of places. The host’s beach chairs were great—as were all the beach towels provided. The washer/dryer was super helpful! The host was responsive and helpful—we were not the most organized of guests, unfortunately. I would stay at these accommodations again—no concerns. ##### Donna E.

Stayed 7 nights at Mauna Kai in January. Overall great experience! The space was lovely w a nice patio and surrounding foliage. Beds and furniture were comfortable. Great location for a jumping off point for all North shore activities, w grocery store very nearby. The unit was clean and well stocked w all needed kitchen items, beach items (bags, boogey boards, chairs, towels, toys, etc.). Had a pack and play for our 3 year old daughter which was a bonus. AC in front bedroom but not in primary bedroom. Not a problem except a little warm requiring sleeping w windows open and downstairs neighbor have a daily phone call on his patio at 5 am waking us up. Units were pretty close together which didn’t allow for a ton of privacy w all the otherwise wonderful windows. So just a couple minor dings, but overall would recommend and would likely stay here again. ##### Chris G.

We were not informed about the steps inside the property, three going down into the living room; two entering the master bedroom and a deeper step into the master bathroom. Three of us are people in our late 70s and I am 80\. Upon entering the house, two of us tripped on these stairs but luckily did not fall; and my 82-year/old brother who came for dinner one evening also tripped going into the living room but didn’t fall. We are people who exercise and try to stay in shape. Luckily we didn’t fall and get injured although others might. These inner steps should be colored differently from the rest of the floor so they stand out and brought to the guests’ attention in the website information re. the property. n addition, the master shower floor is quite slippery when wet with no hand rails to grasp. I had to be very careful not to slip in the shower. The stay was most pleasant otherwise but as one of our friends said, the inside steps are a “law suit just waiting to happen”. ##### Richard A.

Very clean. Well-equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds. Fantastic lighting. Spacious. Great shower in master bath. Good amenities. Strong wi-fi (if you have to work). Easy trash and recycling disposal. Great beach equipment. Plenty of towels. Good toiletries. It's just a really good space. Easy access to everything on the north shore. Things to know (beyond owner's control): It can be noisy from both the street and other occupants. Harder to remain cool during day (so go to the beach or head out for a hike). Parking tough if you get in late, but not impossible by any means (would be better if people stopped taking two spots). Areas for improvement: Again, this rental is near perfect, and I hope to stay here in the future. These are just a couple of things that would have made the stay actually perfect. A small stash of coffee to get started would have been nice. The towels may need a refresh soon because the damp air made them a little musty (they were definitely clean). A couple of power strips would be nice for charging, etc. Wiping down the tables on the patio in advance of arrival. All in all, this was a wonderful stay and I very highly recommend this rental. ##### Juval S. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2024 ---
