Lovely place to stay in Princeville. Very clean, comfortable and air conditioning worked amazing for the bedroom! Easy location to get to Hanalei and beaches. We had a great time with Tony and Judith and learned a lot about the stars and the moon.

This studio was more roomie than I expected:) It was in a great location and host really kept it clean, organized and met needs!! The stuff they had for beach activity was awesome!! Lots of fans, which i know would be helpful in hot times. I was there in Nov and it rained a lot. There are beaches both north & south so very easy to access. Easy check in process:) the hosts took pride in this space. Loved the beach themes:)

We stayed at Rick's property for 3 nights and it was perfect. He has supplied the unit with everything you might need on a short getaway. He was quick to respond if I had any questions. It was in a good location for our purposes and I would not hesitate to book this unit again when I come back to visit the north side of the island.

We loved staying in this unit! He location was perfect for us. We felt that our condo was very well equipped with everything from a blender to a coffee grinder and so much more. The views were amazing and the pool was large, clean and heated. We could easily walk to Foodland for groceries. We truly felt right at home!

We really enjoyed the location and this condo was nice and open. The wrap around lanai was amazing! Lots of beach chairs, snorkeling gear and boggy boards were available to use. We will definitely be renting again!

We stayed in 4 different places on 3 islands over 16 nights. Although we only stayed 3 nights here, we could have spent our entire time here. The area and Tony’s place were perfect. The condo was perfect; exceptionally clean, well maintained, and all things you might need were provided. The pictures do not do it justice. Tony was a fabulous host; very friendly, hospitable, and ready to provide suggestions and guidance on things to see and do around the area. If we ever have the opportunity to return to Kauai, we will DEFINITELY stay at Tony’s. (We hope this review doesn’t cause his condo to be too busy for our next stay.)

Located in the Mauna Kai community in Princeville, this is a great place to stay if you're looking to mainly relax in north Kauai. We stayed here in mid October and it was very comfortable keeping the windows open and using the ceiling fans available throughout the unit. For those that tend to run hot, a window AC unit is available for the bedroom, but we didn't need it. Keep in mind that hearing the nature noises such as rainfall or roosters is part of the charm of keeping the windows open in a place like this. Since it is thriving condo community, there can be some noise from surrounding neighbors, but we weren't bothered by it. The main living area is very spacious and nicely updated. The hosts, Tony and Judith, live right downstairs and are absolutely wonderful. They even gave us a vase of flowers and a card for our honeymoon. Even though property management is involved in the booking process, Tony made everything feel like it was a traditional b&b during our stay. We would definitely stay here again in the future!

The big question is would we rent it again. Yes, we would. I rarely give 5 star reviews because it has to be unexpectedly fantastic. But we have had vacation rentals in 8 different states and this one was fine. The big plus was the size. Vacation rentals are trending bigger and bigger. This was a comfortably sized studio just right for me and my wife. The kitchen had everything we needed, the bed wasn't wonkey, the neighborhood was quiet and all the appliances worked. What we want in a rental is a place we "forget" that it's a rental and we got that. So, yes, next time we come to Kauai we would stay here again.

I landed in Kauai without accommodations and Valerie was very responsive. She managed to have the place ready for me within a few hours of my booking. It had everything I needed to prepare my own meals, hit the beach, go snorkeling and get a good nights rest. Walking distance to Princeville shops/restaurants as well as Anini beach and Queens Bath. Highly recommended.

This rental is in a beautiful and lush setting. The outside space is very well appointed and really adds to the rental. Seems to have all of the amenities you need including beach supplies. Only thing that was a bit weird was that I had to make the beds and empty the dishwasher upon arrival. Seems like that would be covered in the cleaning fee. Overall I would recommend this rental

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: First of all, Jason was great - super friendly, responsive, and helpful. Cannot thank him enough for his help.The space is huge and clean and we enjoyed it for sure. There were plenty of games, stuff for the beach and pool, and TVs to meet every persons interest. The location is also great in Princeville. Note that there are plenty of fans in the condo to make up for the lack of AC, and it really wasn’t too bad especially at night.The only complaint I have is that if you’re a light sleeper, it’s a bit loud between the chickens (which you’ll get everywhere on the island) and the (possible) upstairs neighbors. I think the floor/ceiling is a bit thin so we were woken up by loud footsteps every morning. That said, when I mentioned it to Jason he immediately apologized and tried to contact the owner of that rental to ask them to quiet down. We would definitely stay there again if in the area!

I loved everything about the space. It was Big. It was clean. It was modern. They greeted us with lots of gifts. Absolutely everything you could’ve wanted except for snorkel gear. Besides that I definitely will be hoping to stay here again in the future there’s no need for me to ever look at another location this spot offered everything.

Rick had great communication and the place was exactly as described. With the lack of AC, things do get a bit muggy/mildew smelling.

Our family had a very pleasant 5-day stay in Princeville at Mauna Kai. 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.
October 2023

Overall, this was the perfect place to stay to experience the north shore of Kauai! Less than 10 minutes to Hanalei and less than 30 to Ha'ena Sate Park. The unit itself was clean, very spacious and has a huuuuge lanai with a hot tub and barbecue grill. Kitchen is well stocked with cookware and utensils which made cooking breakfast in the morning a breeze. Not sure if its listed but there is a plethora of beach items next to the washer and dryer to use. Boogie boards, masks, snorkels, umbrellas, bags, fins and a cooler! The only complaint I have (and this is a small one) is the walk from the parking lot to the unit itself is a bit lengthy. But other than that, 10/10 would stay here again if we are ever in Kauai!
Jacob S.
October 2023

We didn’t expect to use the lanai much, but we were all kind of obsessed with it by the end of our stay. Lots of seating—we ate many meals out there! The beach gear—chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, sand toys—was a nice bonus! This is a very spacious property surrounded by beautifully maintained landscaping—it felt like our own private botanical garden. The pool was nice and We would gladly stay here again!

This condo is exactly as the pictures show it to be. It was perfect for our brief stay in Princeville. The host lives below the unit and we were fortunate enough to meet him and his lovely wife. I would recommend this rental to anyone who is looking for a stay in or near Princeville and would definitely stay here again!

We travel a lot and this was our favorite accommodation, remarkably inexpensive for what it offers. From the beginning of the booking process to checking out the host, Rick, was kind, receptive, respectful, and prompt. The unit was furnished and decorated tastefully with local themes and had the personal touch. With the positioning of the windows and patio screen door, and multiple fans (we only used one), the inside was always cool and fresh. The back patio looked onto a wondrous green garden with a walk through it, and sunrise appears through the trees. No noise from the neighbours nor the condo complex. Everything was thought of and included in equipment and supplies. The kitchen had complete eating sets and extras such as Tupperware and many condiments. There were two different types of cofeemakers, a large fridge, a toaster, a tea kettle, a pristine large electric skillet/pot, and a toaster oven/air fryer which made this a full kitchen except for a range/oven (not needed) which would have added a $100/day to the price. A clean easy-to-use barbecue at the pool area added to the cooking experience. We appreciated many contact numbers in case we had questions or difficulties. It is in the best location for things to do on Kauai and beach equipment is included. Princeville is a great place. Rick clearly cares for the satisfaction of his guests. I have no doubt being a host is a passion for him, not just a business. I cannot recommend the unit, and Rick, enough.

I had a wonderful stay at this home in Kauai! It was full of thoughtful amenities, and in a great location, close to farmer’s markets and a beautiful, uncrowded beach.

September 2023

This condo was the perfect vacation rental! We enjoyed relaxing on the lawn chairs on the lanai listening to the many birds (and funny roosters), watching the rainstorms, and enjoying the view of the many visible stars at night. We were pleasantly surprised at how well stocked the unit was, especially with kitchen supplies as we prepared the majority of our food in the unit. I cannot say enough positives! Beds were comfortable, rooms were spacious, the living space was comfortable, plenty of beach supplies such as floaties, beach chairs, snorkeling gear, and many cooler bags. The unit also had lots of great books to read. On the property there is a pool that is much bigger than the photo makes it appear! It’s a great spot! The nearby barbecue area was also comfortable, clean, and stocked with ping pong and cornhole! The unit was walking distance to a shopping/dining center which we enjoyed walking to for morning coffee! Down the road a few minutes further we also found Queens bath! Overall the unit was great and the location was perfect for us! This was by far the best rental experience I have had! We had one minor hiccup on arrival in which we found ourselves at the wrong property, as there are several other condo properties nearby, and Sarah was so quick to call to help us find our way to the correct place! She was so kind and helpful! Check out was seamless as well. We would love to come back next time and would highly recommend this unit!

We had a very relaxing stay at this condo. The owner, Tony, who lives below this unit, met us at the entry and even helped with the luggage! Mauna kai was quiet overall,( there are chickens everywhere in Kauai, so every place I've stayed over the past twelve years you can hear them at one time or another). But they were not bothersome. The pool is large, heated, and well maintained; and/ we had no problems with parking. The condos are well situated in Princeville, actually walking distance to the local Foodland and shops. If you love the north shore, you'll love Mauna Kai's location for its proximity to the beaches at this end of the island. We were there nine days: the condo is well stocked with beach gear, a well-stocked kitchen and bath, informational pamphlets and books about Kauai, and even some recreational reading material. Tony also provided a welcome basket full of snacks and was a friendly and knowledgeable neighbor who we came to consider a friend. Thanks Tony and Judith!

We arrived late aft. Sunday & left early morning the following Sunday. We were greeted by Joy our neighbor & she made both of us feel quite welcome & was a treasure trove of useful information. The unit was extremely comfortable & had everything we needed to feel at home. The roosters were quite annoying but they were everywhere we went. Excellent 38th Anniversary vacation.
Gregory C.
September 2023

We had everything we needed in this sweet studio duplex. Our host was very responsive and the neighbor Joy was very friendly and helpful whenever we had any questions. The place itself was sufficient for cooking simple meals. The bed is comfortable and the fan was quite useful for sleeping. The location is excellent. Unfortunately we didn't have much of a view because they're doing construction on the golf course and they've put a green wall/tarp up, but it's still surrounded by beautiful plants and the area is very nice. We were very pleased with our stay and would definitely come back again!

Comfortable condo, with a convenient Princeville location, close to shops & services, and ideal for exploring Kauai’s North Shore. Could have done with more thorough clean before we checked in. Advertised as for up to 8 people, but only if small children are sharing the pull-out sofa bed – otherwise comfortably fits 7. Gorgeous beaches within easy reach. Hanalei Bay a pleasant 10 min drive away.

My husband and I stayed here for a week for our honeymoon! Rick was super easy to communicate with. He responded quickly and was super kind. We absolutely loved Rick’s property and where it was located in Princeville. There were many amenities, so we didn’t have to worry about buying/renting things, such as snorkeling gear, beach chairs, a cooler, and a beach umbrella. There were also lots of cooking things, so we were able to make our own meals for the week! It definitely saved us some money. The pool was super nice to swim in, and we loved that we were so close to Hanalei Bay and other beaches like Anini beach. All-in-all, I would definitely consider staying here again! Thank you, Rick! Aloha

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: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, with loads of space for our group of 6. There is so much natural light, and the beautiful well-maintained landscaping provided some privacy as well as a lovely backdrop to all our meals. I wondered if being so close to the pool would be noisy, but it wasn't really an issue and the children loved it. The location was very convenient as well for all of our activities. The murphy bed in the living room was super comfortable. However the queen bed in the second bedroom was rather saggy and in need of replacement. The management company responded super quickly when we had an issue with one of the showers. We appreciated having so many towels and beach chairs, toys, etc. provided. We would definitely stay again.

This property is spacious, clean and very comfortable with lots of unexpected amenities like beach chairs, boogie boards, re-usable containers and more! We also loved the artwork throughout the home. It is in a great location to venture off and explore the Island either by foot or car. We had a wonderful combination of activities and relaxation and couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Thank you for sharing your lovely home, Sarah!

The place did the trick for what we needed. It is pretty small but that showed on the pictures so we knew what to expect. It is well furnished and we appreciated the hot plate to cook as well as the snorkeling equipment. Location is very good, walkable distance to a close beach, easy parking in front of the unit. I agree with the fact that it could use a little update/refresh, and cleanliness could be better (especially if you look behind furnitures). Overall a cheaper option that did the trick for us since we were not spending the day in the unit anyway.

August 2023

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.

Prefect place to stay for two. Our neighbors Joy and Les were awesome people. Neighborhood was beautiful and felt really safe and quiet, everyone was really friendly. Tons of beaches to play at and beautiful scenery everywhere. Heated pool good for nighttime swimming. Comfortably close to grocery stores, restaurants and shops. My favorite thing about the rental was the amazing view of the mountains right down the road at the local Princeville park. Loved the people I met and the things I saw!
Sara P.
August 2023

Overall a nice stay but really needs a deep clean and maintenance. It was like going to our 70s era cabin in the mountains of Utah, but dirtier. The master shower was furry at the edges with black mold, curtains and walls are stained with dirt and food, one of the air units leaked like a waterfall, one didn't really cool and in that room the carpet was filthy and the top sheet was a full for a queen bed and the covers had to be washed, also filthy. We were encoraged to go shoeless, but realized quickly that we needed to clean all of the floors as our socks and soles if our feet were black with dirt. Just dirty, dated and worn. Vacasa was responsive overall and did refund the cleaning fee, but it took almost to the end of our stay to get the unusable air unit repaired and get our guest off the couch and into a bed vs sleeping in a hot box like a prisoner of war.

Great place to stay. Had many amenities of home. Gas grill was a plus! Pool area is awesome even though we didn’t use it much. Would have given 5 stars but it did get a little warm even with the fans, windows and sliders open. Being use to AC it was an adjustment.
Kelly Z.
July 2023

I would give 5 stars because this place is really nice, perfectly located and has nice facilities (great pool and ping pong table). ButI’m giving 4 stars for the following reasons: 1. There was broken glass on the floor of the lanais. One of my kids cut their foot, stepping on it. We found more broken glass under the sofa in the TV room. 2. One of the patio doors (behind the sofa) wouldn’t lock because the lock was broken. 3. It was equipped with state of the art equipment (like a Kitchen Aid professional mixer) but didn’t have basic salt and pepper. I’m not looking for all possible spice options but à base would be useful. There was also only 4 toilet paper rolls, 2 paper towel rolls and 3 dishwasher pods. Honestly, that was pretty cheap. 4. I tried contacting Vacasa but, I don’t travel with a roaming plan. The only way to reach them is by phone or text. So, I activated my phone line and, after waiting 15 min on hold and likely paying 30$ in roaming fees I hung up. Dealing with an individual owner is much easier than dealing with a corporation like Vacasa. Aside from that, the apt was great.

The walking trail to the shopping area is quite pleasant. We did walk part way to the beach, but being in our 70s didnt think it wise to tackle the steep incline on mud. The place is adorable, steps are steep but doable. The fresh beans and grinder were a def bonus! The island itself is AWESOME! Spent the $$$$ on the coastal boat tour, the gardens, and the food. HI is very very expensive, but worth it!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this space condo. I must say it was an excellent experience. The condo is clean, and had all the amenities we needed to feel at home throughout our stay. Upon arrival, I was delighted to find the AC was already running, ensuring a comfortable temperature when we entered the house. A thoughtful gift basket of treats and tropical fruits was a nice touch added to a warm welcome. The condo’s location was perfect for outdoor enthusiasts like myself, as it was conveniently situated near numerous hiking trails. I highly recommend exploring the Maha’ulepu Heritage Trail, the Sleeping Giant East Trail, Ho’opi’i Fall, and kayaking on Wailua River to Ulewehi Secret Falls. These trails offered breathtaking view and unforgettable experiences. If you are looking for an easier family-friendly hike, I recommend Wai Kao Trail. My 6-year-old niece was able to do the whole with with us to a waterfall and beautiful lake. If you are looking for tropical fruits, I recommend Waipa Farmers Market that’s not far from the condo. We were able to find all the tropical fruits we were looking for in mid May. For family-friendly beach with calm waters, I highly recommend visiting Lydgate Beach Park, a beautiful quiet beach to unwind and relax with your family. Overall, our stay at this condo with nothing short of fantastic. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient vacation rental. The amenities, location, and nearby attractions make it an excellent choice for a memorable stay on this beautiful island.

Princeville is the nicest area of Kauai and this complex is across the street from the main golf course and a block away from the trail that leads down to a great beach. Overall amazing stay. No AC but the place remained pretty cool with the fans. Can't complain. Would stay again.

Great updated finishes from recent renovations. Still need to finish off a few items including operable sliding glass doors to deck, electrical and rockling toilets. Grounds and pool are very nice for a mature property. Could use more window treatments to keep unit cool during day. Note that owner does not want guests to use window AC units(which doesn't make sense to me when temperature gets above 80°).

This property was perfect for our anniversary trip! It was well stocked with everything we needed to enjoy the local beaches. It was so nice to have beach chairs and a cooler. We highly recommend this property.

very convenient for us. Could do with a better Air fryer oven and the barbeque was not working properly

The unit was a great location! Unfortunately, the unit failed to be well kept. From falling mismatched screens, doors missing and weak fans... very disappointing!!!!!

This condo is exceptional! Everything is as described…. and more. Our trip was as much family reunion as it was sightseeing and exploring. The wraparound porch provided adequate space to relax and chat together or apart for more personal quiet time. Two cautionary comments that we experienced , however. One was we could not enjoy the wraparound porch after sunset because of mosquitoes. The nights we cooked in, we learned to grill before dark and eat inside. Second was I was surprised at how scant the provisions were. One roll of paper towels for a week, no tissues, no salt and pepper! I had never experienced this at other VRBOs. Did it affect our stay? No…but I would have come more prepared. Mahalo for sharing this property with our family. It was truly a gift for the soul.

We stayed just after Thanksgiving and love the location on the North side of the island...we typically stay in this area. Communication with Management Company was perfect. Quiet community and Princeville Center restaurants and grocery are walkable. Remodel is impeccable! Lots of seating options and space for family/friends to be together or have some personal space. Upstairs bedroom with adjacent bathroom and seating area is a separate suite in addition to primary bedroom on main level. Primary bedroom needs a place to hang clothing and a ceiling fan. Only 3 of the 6 sliding patio doors locked but we still felt secure since the unit is on the 2nd floor. Stingy with supplies provided (number of toilet paper rolls, dishwasher pods and garbage bags) creates unnecessary stress and tasks for a short 3 day stay. Washing machine is LOUD. Don't think of running it in the evening while trying to have dinner or watch a movie. Parking was easy no matter time of day. With all of that considered, would definitely stay here again!

The layout of the studio was well planned, and I enjoyed the deck and the very functional kitchenette area.. I also enjoyed being on the upper end of Princeville, where it was an easy walk to the Princeville center with the shops and restaurants.

This property was more than I could have hoped for and Lani went above and beyond to make sure that our vacation was perfect.

The layout of the space is nice and open. I enjoyed that the dining table is adjacent to the porch space so even when it rains, you can enjoy a meal or drink while listening to and feeling the breeze. Laundry was great since everything got muddy. The loft is a little warm if you go to bed early but does cool off in a few hours. The location is close so several uncrossed beaches and a few areas with restaurants etc. I mostly just cooked and ate poke!

Rick is an awesome host. His spot is perfectly located close to everything you need for a nice relaxing stay. We loved the trail down to Anini Beach from the place. Would definitely stay here again!

This place is lovely. The area location is ideal, too - just a quick drive to Hanalei. the apartment was beautiful and clean - we especially loved the high ceilings. It was not cookie cutter and felt so homey!

First off, let me say that by staying at this property you will meet one of the kindest and thoughtful human beings (Tony). We were also able to meet his lovely bride! The place is fantastic and the pictures don’t even do it justice. It’s immaculate and everything we needed or could anticipate needing was part of the rental. PLUS - we booked this trip to celebrate our 5-year anniversary and arrived to a lovely bouquet, gift basket, champagne and a thoughtful card. I can’t say enough great things about our time there, the proximity to beaches, Hanalei and the incredible people we met. I had been initially hesitant because we do like to use a king bed but the Queen was perfect, comfortable and worked great for us. We cannot wait to go back and will DEFINITELY use this property again!

We had a lovely time at this beautiful home. Great amenities, furnished beautifully, and comfy beds! Easy to find, had all of the kitchen things we needed, and very close to the pool. We brought our infant and the pack and play was great. Highly recommend and we’d happily come back again!

Everything was great, the small unit was plenty for myself and my husband, we didn't use everything provided but we appreciated that there were beach chairs, coolers, etc. for guests. The small fridge was great for leftovers and cold drinks, bed was comfy, shower pressure was really nice. No complaints, we will definitely be back! Mahalo :)

Excellent communication and willing to help with questions. The condo is perfect for North Shore stay. Located close to markets and places to eat. Away from the larger crowds. The kitchen was stocked well enough to make our own meals. Great place.

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.

What a beautiful home/condo in the upscale community of Princeville. The lush grounds, the extremely clean and beautiful interior, made for a wonderful stay for the two of us. Even the welcoming morning rooster was great! Don't hesitate to book this well cared for home in a great area.

We were met by Joy. A very fun loving ex History Teacher. She let us in and told us about everything we needed to know. Place is very small but we new we would only need a place to lay our heads down so it was perfect. There is a nice trail behind the property that leads to a semi private beach. Enjoyed snorkeling, floating and resting on the beach. Very close to everything you would need. We had a great time.
