Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We could see and hear the ocean waves but couldn’t see or hear people! On two sides of the property it was jungle for at least a half mile. Spent a lot of time on 2 of the 3 balconies. Updated and large kitchen. Large bedrooms and very well appointed master bedroom. I would rent this property again.

We were very impressed with the location and the view and the house overall. Unfortunately the dryer didn’t work and the 2nd floor shower didn’t work which was hard on my elderly parents having to go downstairs to bath.

Google maps brought us to the garage door. So happy when we walked in and saw where we’d be staying for the week. Big enough to have your alone time and also big enough for all 13 of us to gather in one spot.

We enjoyed waking up to the view of the ocean. The home is very well equipped and works well for a large group. We enjoyed the beach equipment that was supplied, including beach chairs, boogie boards, umbrellas, towels and a cooler. We loved the hot tub with the view of the ocean. I would definitely stay here again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property was absolutely perfect for our extended family trip. We were ten guests and an infant. The house is so spacious we all had privacy. My son and his wife and baby had the whole lower level. This level had two bedrooms a living area and a kitchenette. The house is in a quiet neighborhood close to fantastic beaches and Hanalei. It is also a great spot if you wish to trek the Na Pali Coast. The house is clean, modern, and spacious.

My family of 13 came to Kauai to celebrate our 47th wedding anniversary. From the moment we first pulled into the driveway and opened the front door until we locked up for the last time, we had a magical stay at this property. The home is well appointed and appropriately decorated. There were many supplies already in the house. Lots of beach chairs, boogie boards, umbrellas, and beach towels for our trips to the beach. Tanya, our island host, was very responsive and helpful. We highly recommend this property to any large family or group. We had a fabulous stay.

I would rent this house again in the future!

Lovely house tho we didn’t realize there was no ac in the upstairs living area. Hard to cool it even with fans. The screen doors going to the upper deck need repair, but the views and quiet were heaven. We enjoyed looking at the stars in the hot tub.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We recently stayed at Mauna Pua located in Princeville Kauai. It was a beautiful home located in a nice neighborhood. It had a great view of the ocean with lush plants and trees. The house was very clean with room for all of us. The location was near many of Kauai's best beaches. (About a 1/2 mile walk to Sea Lodge Beach) I would highly recommend this home for a large family (14) and would definitely stay there again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The only great thing about Kauai was the House. Grandson shared stomach virus with the rest of us and the airline shortened my trip by 2 days due to flight cancellation. My favorite snorkeling spot was by permit only (news to me). I usually come to Hawaii in winter but had to come during summer with grandkids. Everything was prebooked ; never had this problem before. Second half of trip went to Kona and did not have problem with anything. Don't understand what is going on in Kauai. Beautiful island needs to get people friendly. Anyway all three families enjoyed the house. A side note: when we checked the guest house the oven was on so we turned it off and we did not need the guest quarters. In your does and don'ts the tone is very negative; don't judge all you guest by the action of past jerks.

The property is lovely and especially well appointed. It is spacious and clean. Recently added air con in bedrooms is a huge plus. No phone reception or wi-fi in the garden suite was a negative that could be easily fixed. The advertised hot tub was broken and that was a HUGE negative for our group of 12. We would not have stayed at this house had we known. And the $25 per day offered as compensation after the stay was insulting. Will not use this company again unless they do something more reasonable - but Tanya who we dealt with was a delight.

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: My husband and I renewed our vows with friends and family. We loved staying in this home. The space, size and layout is very comfortable. The home easily fit multiple couples, kids, and grandparents. The home is well stocked with all necessities even more than expected including tons of beach gear. Our only complaints were minor but the sliders in the main master bedroom and the dining room wouldn’t open. They were broken and since the house doesn’t have central air it was VERY hot during the day. We contacted the property manager who said there is nothing they can do about the doors being broken. Also the outside patio chairs were broken and/or unstable and really need replaced. Other than that the house was fantastic.

This place was so perfect for us. We went as an extended family of 13 people and we fit in perfectly. Everyone had their space and room to roam. The views were wonderful. It was peaceful. The bicycles, hot tub, and boogy boards were a nice touch too. While a bit of a drive from Lihue we found the close by town of Hanalei to be a wonderful place to eat, shop, and swim.

The seventh room is separate from everything else; this is not clear from the listing. Thus it's also not clear that there are only three bathrooms for ten people which becomes crowded. The kitchen is pretty well equipped which helped us cook all our own meals. The lanai is lovely with a nice view. We walked to some of the beaches so didn't have to worry about parking as much.

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: We had 6 couples staying in the home and it was great. One couple had to sleep on a bunk bed but the lower bed was big enough for both to sleep in. We loved being able to relax in the hot tub each night and come home to a great house. We utilized both refrigerators so that was a big bonus. Kitchen had everything we needed. 6 boogie boards and 8 chairs to go to the beach with including 2 snorkel gear made it nice as well. Individual A/C units in each room made the whole house cool and enjoyable. The master bedroom is very large along with its bathroom and closet. The deck and view off the master was beautiful. It would be nice to have the garage code but not a big deal to open the garage after going through the home.

We rented this house with a group of family and friends as we came down for our honeymoon overall the house was very beautiful and it came with boogie boards, chairs, beach towles, and a beach umbrell. The view was beautiful, there were also 2 bikes to use to ride. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was the refrigerator does not hold a cold temp. I've worked with appliances and that fridge needs replaced as the compressor is bad so we had to use the refrigerator downstairs so we did not ruin our food as the fridge would not go lower than 60 degrees the whole time we were there except once it was at 38 degrees. There were also light bulbs burnt out the master bathroom toilet area which was very inconvenient as that was the only light, so if you shut the door to have privacy while you go to the bathroom it was pitch black. I think for how much we/you pay to stay in this house they should make sure the refrigerator works and all the light bulbs are working in bathrooms and bedrooms. it's not anything that would keep us from staying here again we just hope next time they'll have the fridge either repaired or replaced by then cause having to go up-and-down the stairs to be able to cook or get anything to drink is very inconvenient when you have a large group of people you're trying to Cook for. Overall loved the home!

This was the perfect house for my family and friends in the great community of Princeville. We had 14 people and we were all very comfortable. It was the perfect house for us because this house has a kitchen downstairs. With a young child in the house that was a big help when she woke early, she didn't wake everyone in the house. It also helped to have the second refrigerator, we had a lot of mouths to feed. We utilized the jacuzzi and the wonderful balconies and its views. The house has everything for the beach chairs, cooler, boogie boards, snorkel set and towels. It also had 3 bikes and we used them alot. There is shopping and a market nearby so if you need something , it's a quick 3 minutes to the store or 10 minute bike ride. I would recommend this house to a large group, it was a great area and we had the vacation of a lifetime. Thank you to the cleaning crew and all the people who helped with questions I had and making sure our stay was great! It was!!

What a great trip and a fantastic place to stay.We had 13 people and we all fit in this house with room to spare!! the house had everything we needed and then some. The manager Tanya always got back to us quickly if we had any questions or concerns. Great place to stay if you have a large group and we would recommend it to everyone we know. Thanks so much!!!!
