Beautifully Updated & Fully Air Conditioned - Prime Location w/ Huge Lanai

Mauna Kai 5A offers the perfect combination of comfort, style, and an unbeatable location on Kauai’s North Shore! This beautifully remodeled, fully air-conditioned townhome is ideal for those looking for a peaceful and relaxing getaway, without sacrificing convenience. Inside, you'll find two spacious, well-appointed bedrooms, an open-concept living and dining area, and a fully stocked kitchen, making it easy to settle in and feel at home. The townhome’s décor is thoughtfully curated with artwork from local Kauai artists, adding to the property’s modern Hawaiian charm, while the generous wrap-around lanai offers a variety of seating and dining options, with access from nearly every room, creating the perfect space for enjoying Kauai’s outdoor beauty.

Mauna Kai 5A couldn’t be more perfectly situated. The stunning Anini Beach is 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, a mini-mart, and upscale dining at Nanea Restaurant. For even more options, the Princeville Shopping Center, with a variety of boutiques, 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 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. Looking to make your away around the entire island? 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 relaxation is more your style, 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 Kauai, Mauna Kai 5A offers the ideal base for your vacation!

Although this home has internet, the speed and reliability cannot be guaranteed due to the remote location and the service being provided by a third-party.

Perfect location for north shore stay
This property was perfect for our needs. While we spent most of our time out and about, the condo had everything we needed to feel at home. It was also clean and comfortable. Loved the pool area!

Nice and Roomy condo with a lush garden
We, as a family of three, had a great time there. The property is not too far into Princeville, which means less driving. Anini Beach is within walking distance.

Awesome rental with good AC able to keep the whole unit nice and cool. Very well stocked kitchen and all the supplies for the beach. Lots of towels and having the washer dryer is great. The pool area is nice and the location is perfect. Would stay in this unit again if returned to the area.

Great place to stay
This was the most comfortable location we stayed at while on a 2 week trip to Hawaii. The condo has everything you need and is very comfortable with a 3 head mini split HVAC system that works flawlessly. The king bedroom was so comfortable, and the livingroom and patios are equally spacious and comfortable. They do seem to have a parking issue here, the spaces are tight (read you will have trouble parking anything larger than a 4runner) and quite a few folks using them. We couldn't find a spot to park one night. We would still stay here again and loved the place.

Fantastic stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay al Jeff and Laurie’s. Their home was well appointed and well equipped with everything. Kitchen has everything as well as plenty of towels, beach towels, beach chairs etc. Home is nicely decorated and very comfortable. I however didn’t realize that there was no air conditioning and with the heat I personally was very uncomfortable (the fans just didn’t do it) but I’m a terribly hot person that over sweats so there lay my discomfort. Overall our stay was definitely a 5***** thanks

Great Oasis in Princeville
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit itself is wonderful. Updated and comfortably furnished with lots of space to spread out. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you'll need to cook. The location is great, a short 15 min walk to the grocery store, shopping area, and restaurants. The pool! The only downside is that it's a lower unit and there is no soundproofing between it and the upper unit. Even if the guests upstairs are quiet, it's constant thumping and bumping when they are there. Woke us up on two occasions when guests had a late check-in. Something to consider if you're sensitive to noise. Otherwise, this unit is everything you could want!

Good place for a Kauai visit but noisy
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, the condo is great and clean. Nothing was missing. The condo is close to shops and also to dining options, especially in Hanalei. The pool area was very nice and clean.The biggest downside was the noise level. Once, there were so many chicken on the property, that they will wake you up at dawn unless you sleep like a rock (and they even jump into the condo if you forget to close the mosquito doors or your kids don't close them). But this is the first floor condo and the ceiling/floor is so thin, you can hear every step they do upstairs. Also one of the bedrooms is directly connected to the living room of the other first floor condo and the TV is mounted on that wall. You could hear that as if it was in this very condo. We had our kid (trying to) sleep there, what was impossible. So be prepared for that. We read the same thing before in reviews but couldn't believe it would be that bad. It is unfortunately.

Nice comfortable condo in Princeville
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My niece and I stayed at Mauna Kai 5A for a week and it was great. Comfortable, spacious, quiet at night. The kitchen was fully functional, there was a laundry and the grounds were lovely. We were able to walk to Princeville Center for restaurants and shopping. It was about a 10 minute walk. It is also fairly close to Hanalei, where there is good shopping and restaurants too.We arrived at night and finding a parking space and the unit in the dark was a bit challenging. There are signs pointing to the condo units but at night the lighting of the signs was dim. We managed though and once we found the unit, we were delighted with everything we found. The property management company was pleasant and called the next day to check in. Staying in Princeville was our choice and I would highly recommend it for those who want a beautiful setting in a lush area. But you need a car to get to the sights south and west. We rented a car and we drove to Waimea Canyon (must see) one day. We visited Allerton Botanical Gardens and Spouting Horn another day and had dinner plans in Kapa’a.We also took a Napali Coast and snorkeling cruise on the Napali Sea Breeze which is out of Anini Beach, quite close to Princeville. Everyone has to see the Napali coast for themselves, whether from sea or air. It is the gem of the island.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall a nice unit and wonderful location. The unit was updated as described, great lay out, lots of room. The master shower could use some work. The things that could not necessarily be helped was the lack of privacy in the living room (lots of windows and a pathway right outside). The other would be the downstairs unit was extremely loud with foot traffic above. You can here every move the upstairs makes. We attempted to speak with the family above us regarding their 3 yr. old running around every morning at 5 am. However they were rude and uncooperative. The next family (7 of them) were much quieter. However that was our last day there. Not something the owner or property can help, however be aware. This would not be a deal breaker for us, but I would consider an upstairs unit next time. Or hope for better neighbors. I would note that the property management also slow to respond to issues. They took a 1.5 days to get back to me about the bbq being out of gas. Overall a great vacation.

Mauna Kai Review
This is the fifth time we’ve visited Princeville and the first time for us to stay on the North shore. Options on VRBO were limited based upon the dates we were looking to book our vacation, and this unit wasn’t on the top of our list, but we booked it based upon our needs and availability. Overall decent experience. The unit layout is nice and large for a 2 bedroom. Older complex and all the units exterior look like they need to be refreshed with paint, etc. Had an issue with the freezer and reached out to the Management company and they said they’d address the concern, but never did. Also, there was an issue with the Master Bath shower as it wasn’t draining well and got worse during our stay. My wife ended up pulling out a massive (and disgusting) hairball out of the drain. You’d figure the cleaning crew would notice the drain issue during their cleaning process, but apparently not. Will we stay in Princeville again? Definitely. Would I book this unit again based upon our overall experience? No. PROS -Clean upon arrival -Nice décor -Good appliances -Safe location -Comfortable beds -Decent communication with Management CONS -Lower Level (and older construction) -No beach chairs or umbrellas provided -Lack of follow through with Management when we had a concern -Hairball

Wonderful Stay!
Amazing property! Super clean with all the amenities you need. The size was perfect for two couples and there was plenty of room for us to hangout inside while it was raining. Super nice and safe area with shops and beaches within walking distance. Property management came right over when we had a simple issue and were so nice! I would recommend this place to anyone, in fact we already have!
