Incredible home away from home

The host Sarah was amazing communicating with us and made the place feel exactly like home. The villa was beautiful and had everything you needed. The lanai was our favorite part. If we come back to princeville, we would love to stay here again.

Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy

Just stay here. A lot of room for a small family.Better than being cramped in a hotel room, with Roblox and you tube bouncing off the walls. The best part is the condo is haunted it was an extra treat to see a ghost on our vacation as my gf loves anything ghostly. Just in case you were wondering, I am just being a dad!

Spacious property in a great location

The condo was so spacious and that was so nice for four of us. It was an easy walk to shops and to a nearby resort, which had a coffee shop and restaurant. We really enjoyed our stay and would come back again. The owner was easy to reach and very helpful when it came to recommendations.

Princeville Prize

The pictures are accurate, and the place was immaculate. It's on the second floor of a two-story building, a short walk from the parking lot. The floor-to-ceiling windows enhance the living space, and the wrap-around lanai ensures easy access to the outdoors. Both bathrooms have been modernized, and the beds are comfortable. The kitchen is well-stocked, making home cooked meals easy. The grounds are lush and well-maintained, and the pool is a short walk. We would be happy to return.

Beautiful location - attention to detail needed

The location of this property was great and the property itself is beautiful, but there were so many issues worth noting. Since there were 3 women travelers we needed the third bed, which was a pull out couch. The mattress was filthy and no linens were provided. The lock to the sliding back door was broken creating a safety concern. All of the floors are hard ceramic tile and there are steps everywhere, for example a step as you go into the bathroom. Two of us fell. The dining room light and fan didn’t work. The internet was unusually slow and one of the three of us needed to check in on work.

A Spacious and Well-Stocked Home Away from Home

We were very comfortable in this spacious condo with the most extensive decks (and best chaise longues) I've ever seen. Sarah was an excellent host with detailed suggestions and instructions before arrival and throughout our stay. The kitchen had everything we needed, and we did cook virtually all of our meals (or packed a picnic); she even had a coffee frother for my morning coffee! The full-size laundry machines were a big help as you can’t pack enough for two weeks without multiple washings, and the pool is a particularly nice one. We didn't realize this unit is directly on a road so the traffic noise was noticeable. Be aware that Kauai “enjoys” the unique situation of wild chickens and roosters everywhere, so be prepared for constant crowing wherever you stay. Princeville is just under an hour from the airport on the two-lane road that follows the coast; if you are going to the North End of the island, this is a lovely unit to rent for your stay.

Mauna Kai August Vacation

We had a wonderful week at Sarah’s place at Mauna Kai. The big lanai was lovely in the mornings and evenings for coffee and light snacks. Sarah provided tons of beach equipment and the property was close to a grocery store and kids park for our almost 2 year old toddler.

Relaxing days in Princeville

The appartment was what we expected and what was shown on the pictures. It‘s spacious, a nice neighbourhood and good facilities. Only maintance needs to be done, ceiling fan at bed room was not working but alternatives were available. Cusions on balcony furniture needs to be reviewed. It was great that all beach equipement was available! Over all we had a very nice time here, really loved it!

My wife, my brother, my sister-in-law and I had a very relaxing stay in Mauna Kai. Sarah reached out to me several days before we arrived and was very thorough and responsive. The property itself is very well maintained. We will definitely look to stay here again the next time we visit Princeville!
