Mauna Kai 5A is a completely remodeled, fully air-conditioned haven with a fantastic location in the heart of the North Shore Kauai's Princeville. This spacious, bottom-floor townhome has two comfortably furnished bedrooms, a large living and dining area, and a fully stocked kitchen. You'll also find a generous wrap-around lanai with a variety of seating and outdoor dining options, with access from nearly every room! Throughout the space is a carefully curated selection of artwork from local Kauai artists that adds to the modern Hawaiian charm.

The location at Mauna Kai 5A couldn't be better, either! The sun-drenched Anini Beach is just a quick 10 minute hike away, down a shady tree-lined path, and the complex itself is right by the beautiful grounds of the Makai Golf Course. You can follow the course greenbelt all the way down to the 1 Hotel at the other end of Princeville, or simply take in the beautiful scenery on a morning stroll. The Westin Resort is a 5 minute walk down Wyllie Rd, and offers quick access to the Starbucks, grab and go minimart, and upscale pool-side dining at the Nanea restaurant! For a wealth of shopping and dining options, including the Foodland grocery store, the Princeville Shopping Center is a mere 10 minutes walking. Enjoy happy hour at Tiki Iniki, or try Hawaiian shave ice while you're there (get it snow capped, trust us!). Every Saturday morning you can walk down to the Princeville farmer's market, too! For even more shopping and eating, the adorable town of Hanalei is a quick 10 minute car ride away, as are the renowned beaches of Hanalei Bay. We also highly recommend making the trip to the Limahuli Gardens (30 min driving) to learn about Hawaiian culture and the native landscape while taking in truly incredible views of the mountains and ocean.

The Mauna Kai facilities are perfectly situated for a staycation if you prefer to do less and relax more! The sizeable pool has plenty of sun loungers, gas grills, a shaded cabana with outdoor dining tables, and restrooms and showers. It's the perfect spot for a long day in the sun, or for a family barbecue!

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.

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.

The property location was perfect. Short 15 minute walk to the small shopping center, short drive to beaches on north side. Easy communication with management. Chickens are part of landscape and fun to watch.

Flight delayed arrived after dark and had lots of trouble finding the place virtually no outdoor lightinting and the whole blocks address is 3920 very confusing.

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.

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.

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!

This place was everything! Perfect space for 2 couples, it has everything you you ever need as far as kitchen supplies and bathroom and beach towels. There are so many outdoor seating options to simply relax. Great area to just go for little walks every morning.

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

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!

We enjoyed our stay very much. Condo was as described and more. The kitchen has lots of appliances including a great Ninja blender perfect for fruit smoothies. Beds are comfortable and location is great, within walking distance to Annini Beach and Queen's Bath. We would definitely stay there again!

Overall the experience was good. Pool was out of commission being renovated and we were not aware prior to arrival or upon confirmation of our upcoming stay. Path to beach was more of a trail to the beach then a path.

The unit above is being renovated. WE WERE NOT TOLD THIS BY THE PROPERTY MANAGERS BEFORE ARRIVAL. Skill saws, hammering, banging above our heads bolted us out of bed at 7:30 AM for the week and the noise was extremely loud all day and at times exceeded 100 decibels. It completely ruined or enjoyment of the condo.

Evan reached out to us often (but not too much), to make sure everything was in order and if there was anything we needed. Clean, beautiful surroundings. Laundry facilities would have been awesome, but to be fair, I didn’t ask of there were any nearby. Great stay, and would definite return. Can’t wait.

Very disappointed in this property. There was a water leak before we got there, and the cleaning staff was still cleaning when we arrived. The dishwasher didn’t work, so has to wash dishes by hand. They did provide a credit due to the property not being up to par, however. The knobs on the stove were so worn, we couldn’t tell what the settings were, and found a friendly cockroach on the stove the morning we left. Eww. This was obviously either a timeshare or a vacation rental. The furniture was mismatched and dated, as were the bathrooms. This property definitely needs a remodel.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Had no issues with the rental. Everything was clean and the condo was pretty well stocked with everything you would need. The only thing that I didn’t like is no A/C. Got a little warm and muggy at times but there were plenty of fans in the condo that made it tolerable. We would pretty much surround our bed with all the fans provided to keep us cool at night and it worked well! I’d stay at this rental property again if I had another Kauai vacation and was staying on the north shore.

This rental is placed in a terrific, central location. Easy access to the shopping center along with beautiful strolls along the paths parallel to the golf course. The condo came equipped with all the standard kitchen items, along with a great blender for making smoothies. The condo has a nice feel to it. Big comfy sofa for watching movies at night. Beds were really comfortable. The gardens surrounding the ample outdoor seating areas gave an added sense of privacy. The pool is really large, great for laps and always at the perfect temperature. I would love to return to this rental in the future.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had such an amazing time at Mauna Kai 5A. The property is pristine and comfortable. The only thing we needed, besides ingredients, for cooking, was aluminum foil. Honestly, this condo felt like home. One weird thing, when there were 70+ MPH winds, there was a tin banging sound that came from between the living room and master bedroom walls. We never could figure out what was making the noise. Storm lasted one day, so it was not a big deal. Also, we were a bit disappointed to find that the pool is not heated. Temps were around 70 F, so a heated pool would have been nice.

Overall we were very pleased with our stay. The property was very spacious, newly renovated, provided lots of natural light, and was nicely decorated--just as pretty as in the pictures. We were well informed by friendly staff in advance about arrival directions and contact info. in case we needed anything. The housekeeping staff greeted us upon our arrival and checked to make sure everything was in order. The home was comfortable, well stocked and clean. There was a minor issue with a water leak, but as soon as we brought it to the attention of the rental personnel, there was a quick response and steps were taken to get it resolved. We hope to return to beautiful Kauai soon, and would definitely stay here again! Great memories.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Condo was well maintained. Beds were comfortable. TVs all worked well. Would definitely stay again. As a lawyer, I suggest the owner change the row of tile on the step down from dinning room to living room, to a different color, so one can see a contrast on the step down. Also, a hand rail in the master bathtub should be installed. A person may not want to take these measures in their own residence, but when renting out a property, one should think about liability issues. That's my suggestion, for which there is no charge!

With two bedrooms and two bathrooms it fit our needs FANTASTICALLY. The kitchen was fully equipped and the BBQ at the pool was a bonus. The the one recommendation I would make is that the pool deck could use a a coat of paint - I think that would really spruce up the area. Great vacation!

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 really had a lovely experience at condo 5A! The condo is very large! Just my fiancé and I stayed and we could’ve brought a handful more people and been comfortable. The condo is newly renovated, modern, and “homey” with all the cooking utensils you can think of! Great furniture and decorating touches, and comfortable beds! There is a beautiful 1 minute cruise to the Westin Starbucks and restaurants if you want coffee or a cocktail/ order dinner. It is on the walk/bike path that connects to the other resorts nearby, golf course, and Queens Bath! The drive to Hanalei is a short 10 minutes. The town has everything you would need. Dining, shopping, surf and boogie board rentals, places to book boat and helicopter tours, and of course the beautiful, Hanalei Bay Beach. There is also a beach walking distance from condo. We got to the south shore in about 50 minutes when there wasn’t traffic. Anywhere you stay on the Island, I advise you to rent a car because it is so spread out and there’s so much to see! We couldn’t have chose a better place. We would’ve spent the same at a resort and had a hotel room the size of 1 room at the condo! We got engaged on this trip so it will be a very memorable stay and we will be back! Thanks again!!
