Phenomenal.The experience was fantastic all around. The host communication was the best we’ve ever had.They went out of their way to make sure they gave us as much information as possible about the island, activities, restaurants, beaches, and the condo. They even stocked the condo with everything you could possibly need.The place itself was out of this world. Picture perfect. The best sunset view in the evening with the best rainbows in the morning.The porch was fantastic for everything from eating dinner outside to cooking dinner outside to just laying out and enjoying the views.I really cannot say enough great things about both the place and the hosts. We can’t wait to stay there again.

This Puu Poa condo was just perfect for our family of 5. Amazing stocked kitchen (maybe needs a few more wine glasses), tons of beach toys/snorkles, boogie boards and just comfortable all around! Ice cold AC a plus and hard to find on island! I think our favorite thing was the patio and the view! We spent every morning out there with our coffee and every evenings happy hours! We loved being on the bottom floor so we could walk right out to the grass and over to the pool. Love that the patio was covered. The exposed patios above weren’t protected from the rain showers. We would 100% rent this exact unit again! Thanks

Pros: Plenty of paper products, quality linens and cleaning supplies. Inside was clean upon arrival. Directions and entry instructions were accurate and detailed. Beautiful views from lanais. Well kept grounds. Comfortable beds. Plenty of cookware, tableware etc. Con’s: Lanais were dirty with standing water because of clogged drains. Had a stranger pop up onto lanai-totally freaked me out, said he was there to clear drains as they were causing damage to unit below- indicated he knew owner yet when I alerted owner to the situation I didn’t receive any response. Felt like we should’ve been warned? We had asked right after booking AND a week prior to arrival about the unit having 2 umbrellas and was assured they were there. Upon arrival, there was no beach cooler of any kind, the 4-5 beach chairs had ripped straps so unable to carry backpack style and ONE umbrella. Owner offered to reimburse us if we went to the store to purchase these items. We didn’t because there’s no guarantee reimbursement would have occurred. Ice maker worked but not the dispenser (not a big deal) Living room furniture is old, uncomfortable and stained. Rattan ottoman was broken. We laid sheets over everything we sat on. Umbrella for carrying use was broken. Most of the ad photos didn’t match up with the reality.Calling this unit “Magnificent “ is a HUGE stretch

Perfect spot for 2 kids and 2 adults. Beautiful view, well appointed condo. Great place to stay while on the north side, minutes to drive down to Hanalei, quick drive to Anini Beach which was full of parking and very kid friendly. We’d love to stay again!

The condo has amazing views. The layout is modern and very comfortable. The access to Hotel One made the trip so much more enjoyable. The condo is in a great location and the kitchen has everything you need to cook. There is laundry soap, dish soap and hand soap- which was so thoughtful and added to the great experience. The washer and dryer are new. Communication with Paul was great. Everything was fantastic- I’d give it ten stars if I could! We hope to be back someday soon.

Host communication before and throughout our stay was very good. This was a beautiful home with amazing ocean views and lots of outdoor seating. The A/C worked well and all the fans in the room were an added bonus. We loved all the seating areas indoors as well! The only thing slightly lacking was that it felt like it wasn't the cleanest. The bath rugs seemed like they hadn't been cleaned for a while and there were a couple water bugs and gigantic centipedes. I know the moisture in the area probably is the main cause of this, however it seems something can be done to treat the house prior to arrival. Other than that, we loved our stay and do recommend it for others!

The good:The location is nice, in Princeville near the entrance to the 1 Hotel, 12 minutes to town. The views from the condo are spectacular, and the patio is a great spot to hang out and watch the sunset. The pool has a great view and is clean and nice sized. There are beach chairs and an umbrella available for use. The not so good:No AC, I assume none of the Puu Poa condos have it. Communication with the host was non existent. The washer broke before we arrived and was never fixed and our questions went unanswered. The condo is in need of a refresh- several light fixtures didn’t work, the doors stick, the floors are creaky, the hot water out of the taps was inconsistent, the sheets & blankets smelled mildewy/moldy. There are only rattan shades on the sliding glass doors so the bedroom and living room are filled with light when the sun comes up. The doors on both bedrooms are slats so noise travels easily. Both are challenging if you’re traveling with young children as we were.

One of the better condos in the Puu Poa complex. Location can’t be beat! Condo could use a few upgrades — floorboards, better linens, cabinets need cleaned. Host was very kind and responsive! Good value for the location and relative cost of other options.

Fantastic unit! It was exactly as described and the host was extremely thorough and communicative. Perfect size for our family of 4, lovely views and wonderful location to act as a hub for island activities. And the beds / sheets were very comfortable - our whole family commented on how well we all slept (which is rare). Highly recommend!

Mahina Kai is a beautiful property. Our family had a wonderful, relaxing stay. For future guests traveling with elderly family members, please note that there are multiple stairs to get to the property entrance! The drains in the showers were slow but manageable. Kauai is a tropical island and of course some bugs are expected, but this property certainly had more bugs than we anticipated! The kitchen was gorgeous and fully stocked with all the appliances needed, which was amazing!! The decor and location was gorgeous and convenient. Several serene walking paths and beach access. The beauty of the north shore is spectacular!

The condo is beautiful, plenty of room for my family of five. The view is amazing and it is very relaxing looking out on the cliffs and ocean. It is a very convenient location. You can walk to Hideaway Pizza Pub, 1Hotel for drinks or food. Two beaches are close by. It is a short drive to Hanalei town and Bay, which were our favorites for eating and swimming. The condo has everything you could need for a great beach day, boogie boards, snorkel gear, beach towels. It does get a little warm during the day, I didn't read quite far enough into the description to see the part about no AC. The shuttle stop for Haena State Park is a short 15 minute walk. There is a beautiful spot right next to the condo to watch the sunset. Condo had everything we needed to cook.

Location was fantastic, walking distance to several beach paths, 1 Hotel, Hanalei Bay Resort, etc. Views are stunning with beautiful sunsets. Kitchen is very well stocked and it was great to have a washer and dryer. There was construction and painting going on not the owners fault but very noisy during day time at pool.

Awesome trip. The view is wonderful. It made the place special. Great, convenient location. A few things that could have been better: We did not receive the 1Hotel Memberships. Apparently that was added after we booked our stay. But every time I looked it up it was on the listing. I asked about it and did not get an answer for 3 days while we were already here. By the time I heard back I would have had to pay for it and we didn’t have time to use it. There was no coffee provided, only decaf. Also there were only 4 beach towels for 5 of us the whole time. The AC worked well in the bedrooms but the great room was hot for the sofabed sleeper at night. The front room gets very hot due to the windows. The AC split in master points directly at the bed. We could have used another blanket, but there was only 1 supplied and had to use for sofabed. The showers did not have a ton of hot water. If both showers being used at once, no hot water. Housekeeping showed up on checkout day at 9:59am. We were a family of 5 traveling with another family who was staying in another unit in same building. So, we got to see and spend time in their unit as well. We actually liked theirs better as far as layout and decor.

What an amazing stay!! I can’t say enough about this condo. The location was perfect. Condo was super clean and great layout. Watching the sunset from lanai was a highlight of the evenings. Communication with host was super proactive. Highly recommend hiking the coast line. We typically don’t stay at same place when we come back to same areas, but I would without any hesitation book this one again. Thank you for an amazing stay while on this beautiful island.

Beautiful sunrises and sunsets over the vast Pacific Ocean! The sound of waves lulling us to sleep! This condo is ideally located for lovers of the sea. It is a 10 minute drive to several peaceful inlets where we could snorkel with the turtles and tropical fish.The interior was clean, spacious, well-equipped, and meticulously designed. The owner was a thorough and kindly communicator. We would love to return!

Great location. Great view!! Well equipped kitchen! Really enjoyed it, but do know that AC would have made it that much nicer. Once you open all the windows the breeze definitely helps, but it did take some getting used to. Especially during the day. Overall a great place to stay. Fantastic beach below the unit. Definitely a challenging short / steep hike to get to it though.

This is a spacious, well equipped condo in an excellent location! We thoroughly enjoyed our time spent here and were sad to leave. We spent time relaxing on the spacious lanai watching the ocean. Amazing views from the balcony and you can even see the ocean from the master BR. It’s one of the largest 2 BR condos we have seen, and it had all the kitchen gadgets you could want! They even left shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, and a starter supply of coffee and laundry detergent which was so nice! It also had a nice assortment of books, games, and some puzzles. We didn’t use them but there were beach chairs and snorkel gear, as well as plenty of beach towels. The path to Hideaway Beach (our favorite) is adjacent, and Pu’u Poa Beach is a short walk away. We found the decor & furnishings very appealing, & beds were nice & comfy. We were a little nervous about lack of AC in May, but this condo has so many windows & fans, and SUCH an amazing cross breeze that it wasn’t an issue! In fact, I was chilly some nights! LOL We look forward to a return visit!

Issue with window leaks was a bit of a surprise. Owner indicates it is scheduled for replacement which will really help this unit. Water intrusion at the wall above the sink is ugly. AC was great but was noisy with odd sounds from drainage.Love the view and this location on the upper level with high ceiling and clerestory windows. Kitchen is well appointed with great utensels. Owners are nice and communicate well through VRBO website.
