Enter through the two teak and carved-glass doors to the first of our two lanais and breathtaking views of the mighty Pacific. From the atrium entry of PUU POA 406, the tropical decor of our newly decorated and furnished family room beckons to a larger second lanai with upscale gas grill and gorgeous sunset views from our famous Hideaways Beach to Bali Hai.
Open wide the sliding glass doors of the master bedroom and sleep to the lullaby of crashing waves. From the moment you arrive, to your final swim in our heated pool, your unforgettable stay in our expansively equipped, air conditioned, penthouse condo will be one of luxury, peacefulness and romance. Welcome to Meli Makai - OceansSong at Pu'u Po'a - Kauai's premier condominium complex!
This luxurious two bedroom, two bath penthouse unit is one-of-a-kind. The main bedroom of this spacious, 1500 square foot condominium (2200 square foot including the two large lanais), is en-suite with large bathroom, with romantic 'his and her' twin showers, and a relaxing Oriental-style soaking tub. The second bedroom, which has a great view of the mountains and waterfalls, has a queen-size bed. Both the master and the guest bedroom beds have plush, new, custom-made Island Dreams pillow-top mattresses.
Located on the top floor of prestigious PU'U PO'A, this end unit has spectacular views of the reefs and surf from its two lanais (see pictures), from the main bedroom, and living room, and from the kitchen and dining room.
Elegantly refurnished and redecorated, all of the appliances are new and the kitchen is completely outfitted with microwave, stove, oven, blender, etc. There is also a new washer and dryer. The large family room has cathedral ceilings, cable TV, DVD/VCR player, IPOD Docking station, CD player, and high-speed DSL Internet access for your laptop. There is a second cable TV in the main bedroom.
In a quiet, end-of-the-road setting, PU'U PO'A is a solid concrete building, with magnificently maintained tropical gardens, and a pool and a combined tennis court/pickleball court on the property. Because of its top-floor location and concrete construction, there is little noise from neighboring units. Our holiday home is a cliff-edge unit with magnificent close up views of whales, surfers, and sunset views of Bali Hai.
The complex is right above and a short path from a secluded beach called 'Hide-Away's' which has exceptional snorkeling over shallow, bountiful reefs (see pictures). PU'U PO'A Beach is just a three minute walk from our condominium in front of the Princeville Resort.
Princeville Resort has many amenities including a spa for pampering. Winter brings the whales into your panoramic views of the ocean and the high surf attracts world class surfer 'dudes' daily. Princeville is renowned for its beautiful golf courses and nearby rustic Hanalei has great dining and shopping.

We really enjoyed our stay at this penthouse condo. Ideal location in Princeville, and gorgeous views! The owner and agency was extremely easy to work with and it was very simple using the Keylock box. AC worked great! Would return again

We loved this condo! Beautiful place and great location! We had a great week in spite of daily rain. We felt so comfortable and loved the sunsets from the lanais!

My partner and I are just back from the most amazing holiday in Kauai, Princeville, and we think the most spectacular rental on the island. The home has spectacular views that you can melt into, two relaxing decks where you can view the sunset over Bali Hai , and is beautifully appointed and cared for. The rooms are spacious and cozy at the same time. Everything is maintained to high standards and I recommend this home for the most delightful and for us, romantic vaction.

The Princeville area is quiet but close to shopping and restaurants. The condo was clean and well equipped. The bed was comfortable and the layout of the space is perfect. We would not hesitate to rent this property again.

We enjoyed every aspect of our stay in this quiet place. It is beautiful, and had everything we needed! The bedrooms are nice and big, clean, and each with its own AC unit. We enjoyed the double shower heads in the master bathroom.
The kitchen and living are is nice, open and airy. We loved making pancakes in the morning and eating them on the lanai. This is a top-floor edge unit, which gives it an elevated view, additional windows, and extra ceiling height. Along with the nice artwork, it makes the place very inviting.
Hideaways beach was just a hike down - no need to find parking. Our daughter (8) was able to make it down.
Snorkeling there was amazing! We saw a wide variety of fish, corals, and a number of turtles. The beach gear supplied came in handy for trips to Tunnels beach. We wish we could have stayed longer, and want to come back. Thank you Noel and Erica!

We were excited for the location but disappointed with the place. It’s very dirty, old and loud. The place has a lot of water damage and we found out why for 3 of our 4 days staying there. We left early as we just couldn’t live in this dump anymore. They need to do some serious work to make this place nice and worth the money. We were extremely disappointed.

My husband and I were here celebrating our 25th anniversary and we enjoyed every minute. The unit was as beautiful as picture but the views far surpassed. I cannot imagine a better View from anywhere. The area surrounding the condo is gorgeous, upscale. And the local towns have a funky laid-back vibe that we loved. Highly recommend this condo

THE place to be on the Northshore of Kauai. The unit provides everything you could need. We were fortunate enough to spend 4 weeks in #406 and will treasure our experience always.

Had a grand condo looking north across the Pacific. Really enjoyed the shops, restaurants, bars in nearby Hanalei. Highlight was helicopter trip which allowed us to see areas now unavailable to be visited due to road & bridge construction.

We love this unit and have stayed here 3 years in a row. It is well equipped with everything you need to live comfortably. We have only one suggestion to the owners for improvement. While the living room furniture looks wonderful, and is very appropriate for the location, it is extremely uncomfortable . We tried everything we could think of to alleviate our discomfort, but couldn’t find a good solution. Perhaps it’s time to consider new, comfortable furniture.

The condo was outstanding. Super clean. Beds slept great. View was breath taking. Love the roar of the ocean. We would definitely come back to this place.

Pua Poa 406 was top drawer, clean and views to die for watching sunsets on beautiful Hanalei Bay across from the five-star St. Regis Princeville. The unit has great furniture with beautiful tropical patterns. One suggestion is to trash the bed spreads and replace with crisp, white coverlets that sing of cleanliness. The puffy, dated spreads need to go! We were amazed to find that the owners had left us with a full tank of propane for cooking; however, we did not use it. The brand new washer and dryer were valued and appreciated. A little elbow grease and fine steel wool would clean the stains in all sinks. It was delightful to enjoy a movie each evening on Netflix. Thanks for the game and good reads. We will return.

Thank you for making our stay at your beautiful condo a memorable one. We enjoyed waking up to the beautiful views while sipping coffee(thanks to the coffee maker provided) on the balcony every morning. You provided all that was needed (especially the air mattress) for a comfortable stay and will gladly consider staying there again in the future.

This place is all about view and location.
The good: This place is spacious, airy, and has a ton of windows that look out over the oecan. The view from the decks, the kitchen and the master is killer. We loved falling asleep to the sound of the ocean every night. The sunset view was also gorgeous. We never felt that we had to leave to find a better viewing location. Keeping the fan going and the doors open kept us cool and comfortable for the majority of our visit. Also, the location is awesome. It is just above Hideaway's Beach and we enjoyed the mellow and sparcley populated beach every day. The pool was also very refreshing.
The eh: We couldn't find any beach supplies, except for towels, so I was glad that we rented everything we needed. Also, almost everything in the house needs to be freshend up. The knives were dull and much of the silverware was put back in the drawer dirty. All of the fixtures and furniture and paint are quite old, but honestly, because the view was so great, it didn't bother us that much. Something a few other people have mentioned in other reviews, is that sound really travels there. The location is very quiet and serene, so you can hear any conversation or anything going on outside (kids playing music at the pool, dinner conversations, etc). One night, our neighbors had some visitors until around midnight and even though they were inside and in an enclosed lanai, it was very loud.
None of these things would prevent us from visiting again. We had a lovely time and this is a great place to come for rest and relaxation.

Great location near terrific snorkeling (Hideaway) beach. On the 4th (top) floor of the building was great for the view and for the exercise as there isn't an elevator! It was hot and there is NO A/C so we requested a free-standing fan as the ceiling fan was pretty worthless. The management company brought one promptly and that helped. Only 3 stars because condo lacks a good supply of dishes, needs better fans and more effective sun block shades on the windows.Only 4 of us there, but needed to wash daily to have enough coffee cups and bowls, plates, etc for breakfast and lunch. Refrigerator door gets stuck open and warms up contents. Afternoon sun pours in main windows but there are only signs of past curtains or shades - nothing currently there to black sun. Did I mention it was hot even though it was May??

This condo is almost perfect - large, airy (two big lanais), well equipped, quiet, great master bedroom/bathroom, and just a brief (if steep) hike down to one of the best snorkeling spots on the island. There are no shared walls and being on the top floor we never heard our neighbors which added to the peaceful ambiance. We visited with our two adult daughters and the condo, fabulous weather, and North Shore outdoor activities (hiking, kayaking, snorkeling, etc.) made it a very special trip. My only slight complaint is that the mattress in the master suite is showing its age and I would love to see a new one in place on our next visit. Still, highly recommended!
