Our spot while in Kauai. Always a good time. Plenty of parking, large and clean pool, grounds are kept and maintained. Chickens are obnoxious but it's their land. read more

Mauna Kai Condominiums - Vacation Rentals Near Me - Princeville, Hawaii

Great condo community in the heart of Princeville. These units are huge, about 1600 sq ft each. The pool is also very large and has a cabana where it has a kitchenette, bbq and ping pong table for all to use. The grounds are very well kept and designed nicely. Each unit has huge lanais to enjoy breakfast or lunch outside. Hanalei Bay is only 10 minutes away and Foodland is less than five. If you're a golfer, Makai is the best on the island and you can walk to the beach within 15 minutes. Overall, one of the best condo units in Princeville. read more

This is one of the most beautifully landscaped areas in Princeville...truly like being at a botanical garden! Very affordable units compared to many others on island. LARGE units with outside lanais.. Largest pool in Princeville that is solar heated. Pavillion has a nice gas grill , tables&chairs, ping pong table & corn hole. IF you are arriving after dark, be aware that PRINCEVILLE has night sky lighting policies so the entire area is very dark, not just Mauna Kai. This is in place to make for some epic star gazing ! The manager has maps located at mailbox and a map in case your host didn't happen to send good directions on finding your unit. Soo many wonderful beaches in walking distance. Highly recommend Mauna Kai! read more

my wife & i just returned from an eight day stay here. i want to be SUPER clear: the condo ITSELF (and the owner, who lived in the unit below) was AMAZING. this review concerns the COMPLEX and the BOARD/MANAGER. rather than take the time start from scratch, i'll simply re-print the two emails i sent them below: [EMAIL #1] I am a VRBO guest of on of your permanent residents (who is not responsible in ANY way for this issue) Last night after using the grill from around 7:15p - 8:00p - the grates of which for what it's worth i completely SCRUBBED clean before cooking rather than use the grease-covered tool provided! - I realized I had left my cell phone by the sink. I immediately returned to the pool, striding briskly since there were about 10-15 people using the pool at that time and I didn't want my phone to "walk away" before I was able to retrieve it. About ten feet past the gate I was suddenly knocked off my feet. After a moment I realized I just walked into a chaise lounge or a chair (it was so dark it was impossible to tell) that either had been pulled into the walkway by one of the pool-goers or had simply been left there earlier in the day. It took me a moment to regain my bearings - and try to find my now missing right flip flop - before continuing on to the sink to get my phone. Armed with my phone's flashlight app, I was able to find my other shoe as well and left for my room. This happen again TONIGHT when i was leaving the grill area with a tray full of food (after once again having to SCRUB the grill clean for ten minutes before I started cooking because of the shape it was in when I arrived). Once I reached the point about midway between the stairs to the grill area and the gate I could not SEE A THING. There were lounge chairs strewn about in my way, table and other obstacle and I had no way of seeing them. And because I was carrying a tray of food with two hands I had no way of lighting my way with my phone (which btw, IS NOT. MY. JOB.) One question: who on the board or on what planning committee decided/approved/allowed/etc NO LIGHTS in an area open until 9:00p FILLED WITH dark brown chairs, chaise lounges and tables which are virtually INVISIBLE once the sun sets?! Based on the parking situation I understand no one involved in these decisions is going to win any design awards, but you don't have to be Frank Gehry to know that lights are necessary in all public areas where people will be while it is dark (and I am aware of the "Night Sky Ordinance," I'm simply suggesting something like the mushroom lights already elsewhere on the property)! Set aside "doing the right thing by the condo owners," what about doing it out of self-interest, i.e. the massive potential liability issues you are opening yourselves up to? At this point, I am still pretty badly bruised in my lowers shin and ribs and am generally sore all over. Are the people who (most likely) dragged the chair into the path partially responsible for my injuries? Probably. A tiny bit. But their culpability PALES compared to those responsible for me not being able to SEE WHERE I WAS GOING because it was too dark! (And when I say, "dark" I mean you CANNOT see the furniture after 8:00p even if it is right in front of you.) I'd appreciate an explanation. It's the least you can do seeing as how I have/will be spending the rest of my vacation injured. Thanks in advance... [EMAIL #2] I just realized I misspoke below and wanted to be accurate. The initial incident occurred on Thursday, June 19th so I should have said "two nights ago" rather than "last night." Also, for what it's worth I also neglected to mention that last night as I was cooking at the grill a couple came out to the pool with a flashlight. A FLASHLIGHT. So I don't think I'm the only one who feels the area is in need of better (some? any?!) lighting. Just sayin.... these emails were sent on june 21st & 23rd and to date HAVE NOT BEEN RESPONDED TO. fortunately, once i returned home x-rays showed i "only" have bruised ribs which STILL hurt and per my doctor will probably continue to hurt for another few weeks. and so you don't have to take MY word for it, i've attached: a short video of the pool deck at the time i was hurt, starting in the dark, then turning on my phone's flashlight app to illuminate the surrounding area plus a photo of (allegedly banned) lights OUTSIDE the property illuminated at the time i was hurt & photos of the grill brush. again, i'm not suggestion the property install tall lights like the ones in the attached photo. small mushroom lights like they have elsewhere on the property would suffice. bottom line: know what you're getting into if you stay at this property. not only is the parking inadequate as a result of a botched "re-model" by the board (alluded to above) but the fact that neither the board nor the property manager had the courtesy to get back to me speaks VOLUMES about their feelings about the people who stay here. caveat emptor. read more

Going in October Making and securing reservation was easy and straight forward Looking forward to our trip read more

This is a little slice of heaven on the north shore. So peaceful, with lush gardens and architecture that makes the most of the beautiful surroundings and island breeze. Great pool!!! read more

What a beautiful property! Large pool and club house. Well kept grounds and friendly staff. Close to beautiful Hanalei Bay. 100% recommend!

Stayed at one of these units during our 5 day visit to Kauai. The location is good, in a beautiful area, and the rentals are significantly cheaper than in other areas. However, the pictures of this property are deceiving. It feels like you are staying in a fishbowl, particularly in the evening when everyone is home, you can see and hear everyone's conversations. read more

I love this complex! It is so beautiful and lush and so close to everything in Princeville. I highly recommend!

Beautiful place with awesome condos and friendly people, we love seeing the albatross and nene. The hosts of 6A made the stay perfect.

Fantastic lush tropical paradise in beautiful Kauai. So beautiful! Will live in my heart forever! read more

Mauna Kai Condominiums - beautiful sunsets every night! - Vacation Rentals Near Me - Princeville, Hawaii

The host for #19 kicked my sisters family out on Christmas Eve (the first night of our 10 night stay) because my 11 year old stopped there to see if his cousins wanted to go to the beach. You'd think for $3000 (non refunded, as stated by Victoria) there would be the smallest amount of understanding around a holiday. read more

We just spent a few weeks in #4. Most of the beach chairs in the closet are broken and garbage. More of a liability than a benefit. Lighting in the kitchen is horrible and I can't even see what I'm cooking. We smell mold and old, it needs to be aired out in here. There actually is mold on the shower curtain downstairs. Cheese grater is garbage!! Need baking ware, not even a pizza Tin. Knives, especially cleaver, beyond dull. No steak knives. We actually had to go out and purchase our own knives. Curtains are old and junky. They let in all light and beyond useful not allowing me to sleep past daylight. I booked this place for three weeks but only had a couple rolls of toilet paper which doesn't add up. There wasn't any cleaning products so I bought some and left for next guest. Wash machine does not work correctly. I have to actually manually turn the dial to go to the next setting. Living room couch is very uncomfortable and a couple throw pillows with change that for sure Bottom shelf in refrigerator is broken and freezer rack is rusted. I don't know what the threshold is for purchasing a new refrigerator but in my opinion you've passed it. Headboards should be attached to the beds so every time I get in bed it doesn't smack the wall and bother neighbors. Upstairs bath drain does not close preventing me from taking a bath. I'd suggest either fixing or converting to a shower as my expectations were not met. Kitchen sink is undersized. Can't even fit plates into the sink. Full sized everything but sink-doesn't add up. Sliding glass doors to balconies need replaced/reworked. Parking lot is like a minefield. I've never seen so many potholes in such a short span. For about $2200 a week I'm not feeling it. I will leave this review on TripAdvisor and yelp as well. Tried to leave one on VRBO but they didn't approve as it wasn't in their favor. Also, Oceanfront Realty managed this particular unit. read more

Mauna Kai is paradise! We loved staying at #11 Mauna Kai. It's so beautiful, clean and spacious. Wyllie Beach and Anini Beach are nearby. It's such a wonderful vacation place. read more

I had a perfect vacation at Mauna Kai #11. It's a lovely townhome inside and outside. #11 is well maintained and has gorgeous foliage all around and it's i visible through the large windows. The community has a great swimming pool, too. read more

Nice quiet complex with well-marked signs on how to get to the various units, they're lit too since it can be confusing at night. There's ample parking. The condos are spacious, a lot bigger than many other Princeville condo developments, with nice lanai space so you can enjoy indoor/outdoor living. In like one minute you can get to the walking path through Princeville, really nice and convenient if you like to get in a morning walk before starting the day. The Starbucks inside the Westin is only a couple minutes walk in the other direction, and includes a little mini-mart where you can find coconut rum :-) The beach path to Anini is across the road, it's about a 10 minute hike, and not a very difficult hike though muddy after it rains. The complex manager is really helpful and easy to find if you need something. If you're looking for a great vacation rental, highly recommend Mauna Kai - especially 5A and 5B. read more
