Why We Love This Home — Mauna Lanai
When we’re home on island, mornings often begin on the lanai with coffee, watching birds visit the patio railings and nearby greenery. The name Mauna Lanai reflects what we love most about this home—a sense of elevation, openness, and connection to the outdoors that feels calm and grounding. The single-level interior layout keeps everything feeling easy and connected, creating a comfortable, open space that’s effortless to settle into.
We love the natural flow between indoors and out. After a day at the beach or exploring nearby trails, evenings slow down naturally—cocktails on the queen bedroom lanai with pool and mountain views, family dinners shared around the table or on the lanai, and quiet time together as the day winds down. It’s a gentle, unhurried rhythm that feels restorative, comfortable, and distinctly North Shore.
Bright, Spacious & Effortless Single-Level Living at Mauna Lanai

Large sliding doors open to the main lanai, extending the living space outdoors and reinforcing the home’s seamless indoor–outdoor flow. A dedicated workspace with desk and seating is available for remote work or planning daily adventures.

Property was immaculate and the host provided things we hadn't even considered, such as beach chairs and umbrellas. It was as if they anticipated all our needs before we even needed them. The condo was huge and our kids loved having their own rooms. It resulted in the best vacation we ever had.
Mahalo for your kind review! 🌺 We’re so happy you had a great stay at our Princeville, Kauai vacation rental and that the condo had everything you needed in a comfortable space for your family. We’re glad you enjoyed the convenient North Shore location, and we’d love to welcome you back to Princeville anytime you return to Kauai! 🤙🌊🏝️
This is beyond a 5 star place to stay!! First of all Dhivya was AMAZING to work with!! She was super responsive and helpful! This was our first time to Kauai. She sent us a very detailed email with things broke down into beaches, places to eat, hikes to do..and many other things. It was so helpful! The condo was very clean and well stocked! The beds were comfortable and the AC helped so much after a long hot day! The property was beautiful and quiet! We have stayed at a lot of VRBO properties and this was by far the best place we have stayed..not just for the nice condo, but for all of the extra things that Dhivya thought of to make the vacation even more memorable!! We loved it so much and we will definitely be back!!
This is a comfortable home with all amenities provided. Thank you for pleasant stay in a beautiful and peaceful neighborhood. This particular unit is a gem among gems.

That consistent, high quality experience for every guest is something we take enormous pride in! ✨

The condo was beautiful, spacious and well equipped. The location was great, short drive to Hanalei and Anini. Having the option of an air conditioner was a big plus. My family enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to come back.
The condo exceeded our expectations. It truly felt like home. They have everything you need and the location is perfect. The pool is right across the street which is very nice.
I would stay here again no problem 10 out of 10 in my opinion.

My family and I very much enjoyed. I am always a little nervous about staying at condos but this was and is an exception. My wife loved the location and condo, and the accommodations were great for our kids. Highly recommend

We had a great experience here. The owner, Dhivya, was very responsive and helpful. The condo was well furnished, especially the kitchen, which is a plus for us as we do a lot of our own cooking. We had six adults in our group and everyone was very happy with our experience there.

Princeville is our favorite place in Kauai too — so we absolutely love hearing that it captured your hearts the same way it captured ours! 🌺 Thank you so much for the incredibly kind words — "Princeville Gem" genuinely made us smile from ear to ear! 💎
We're so glad our condo worked perfectly for three couples and that the tropical views, pool access, and convenient location all came together to create such an amazing experience on the North Shore. 🌿🌊
We always strive to make sure our listing is accurate and our communication is seamless from booking to checkout — knowing that every expectation was met and exceeded means everything to us! 🙏
We would absolutely love to welcome you back to your favorite place in Kauai very soon — our little Princeville gem will be waiting! Mahalo for the wonderful recommendation!
We enjoyed our stay very much. The condo is well equipped with plenty of seating, comfy beds and a well stocked kitchen. We cooked almost all meals at home even though there are plenty of good restaurants nearby. We chose the location to be able to explore the north part of the island without driving too much. The pool is very nice and right across the street.

About the host
Hosted by Dhivya
Aloha! We’re Karthik and Dhivya—avid travelers who have explored countless destinations around the world, yet Princeville is the one place that truly captured our hearts. While we live among the majestic Rocky Mountains in Colorado, our home on Kauai is where we come to slow down and reconnect with the rhythm of the ocean.
This is our personal residence, thoughtfully curated with a blend of classic and contemporary design to create a refined island sanctuary. We spend several months here each year and take great pride in maintaining a calm, elegant space that reflects the natural beauty of the North Shore. We’re delighted to share our home with guests who value comfort, quiet luxury, and a truly restorative island experience.
Why they chose this property
We chose Kauai for its unmatched natural beauty, ocean energy, and relaxed pace of life. While the island is stunning throughout, our hearts were set on the North Shore for its unique climate and the incredible variety of experiences it offers—from hiking and kayaking to snorkeling, surfing, and scenic coastal walks.
Nihilani in Princeville was an easy choice. As one of the newer communities on the North Shore, it offers modern design, open layouts, and a true townhome feel that lives more like a private residence than a resort unit. The attached two-car garage and spacious floor plan were essential to us, especially for longer, restorative stays.
The resort amenities are exceptional. The pool, spa, and BBQ areas are beautifully designed and meticulously maintained. Because Nihilani is a boutique-sized community, it remains remarkably quiet and peaceful throughout.
Princeville itself is ideal for an active yet relaxed lifestyle. The walking and bike paths are extensive, beautifully landscaped, and perfect for daily strolls. From our home, you’re a short walk to local dining, world-class golf, Queen’s Bath, and Hideaways Beach. We also enjoy being close to the Westin and 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay—both wonderful spots for sunset cocktails.
Our townhome is ideally positioned within the community: just a minute’s walk to the pool and spa, yet far enough to preserve a sense of tranquility. Thanks to its unique location, the primary suite lanai enjoys glimpses of the Pacific horizon, while the second bedroom lanai offers serene mountain views—the thoughtful details that made this home feel truly special to us.
What makes this property unique
Our residence is distinguished by its pristine, like-new condition, understated elegance, and exceptional setting within the Nihilani community. Built in 2015 and meticulously maintained, the home reflects the quality and comfort of a well-cared-for primary residence rather than a typical vacation rental.
As our personal second home, every element has been curated with intentional simplicity and livability in mind—balancing quiet refinement with family-friendly comfort. The bi-level layout provides natural separation between social and private spaces, while subtle, thoughtful details ensure the home feels welcoming for couples, families, and multigenerational stays alike.
Located on the most tranquil side of the community, away from road noise and foot traffic, the home offers a rare sense of calm. At the same time, it remains just a short, easy walk from Nihilani’s beautifully maintained pool, spa, and BBQ areas. From the private lanais, guests enjoy soft horizon glimpses of the Pacific and serene views of the surrounding mountains, framed by lush tropical landscaping.
We are attentive, discreet hosts who take great pride in preserving the home’s condition and atmosphere. We are pleased to welcome guests who appreciate privacy, comfort, and a quietly luxurious North Shore experience—and who treat our home with the same care and respect with which it is offered.
