This stunning, three-level home is designed to accommodate families or large groups with seven bedrooms. This home offers air conditioning in all the bedrooms & black out shades to keep you nice and cool during your stay!

The grand master suite is located in the main house nestled among the trees with an expansive, romantic lanai, en-suite bath, sitting area, TV and lovely ocean views. The lower level boasts a spacious living room with a media center.

Ours was a last-minute vacation to Hawaii (Kauai) instead of Orlando (Hurrican Milton). Literally, last-minute for 11 people (the day before) and it was WONDERUL! Mauna Pua (this home) has a breathtaking view, you can her the ocean, it was super clean, conveniently located to several beaches, super comfortable, convenient to the grocery store, and came with everything we could have dreamed of--bicycles, snorkel gear, beach towels, boogie boards, etc. EVERYTHING! I would highly recommend this home, these hosts (extremely helpful), this location, and the whole shebang to EVERYONE. I may sound too enthusiastic, but really, I'm holding back. I don't want this lovely rental to be snatched up before I can get us all back here again.

Mauna Pua is a fantastic house for those traveling with large families or multiple families traveling together. Princeville is a beautiful community and is super close to many beaches, most being just a short drive away. The house comes with everything you need to make the most of your stay, including supplies for beach trips.The house had plenty of space for the 11 people that stayed there (6 adults, 5 kids).Great balconies with ocean views that were definitely included in my morning coffee routine. Bikes are available to cruise around Princeville if desired, and a hot tub to relax in at the end of a long day of hiking. I will definitely be renting Mauna Pua again next time we travel to Kauai with my extended family!!

It was beautiful like having 3 separate units in one house,

We recently stayed at Mauna Pua located in Princeville Kauai. It was a beautiful home located in a nice neighborhood. It had a great view of the ocean with lush plants and trees. The house was very clean with room for all of us. The location was near many of Kauai's best beaches. (About a 1/2 mile walk to Sea Lodge Beach) I would highly recommend this home for a large family (14) and would definitely stay there again.

This property was absolutely perfect for our extended family trip. We were ten guests and an infant. The house is so spacious we all had privacy. My son and his wife and baby had the whole lower level. This level had two bedrooms a living area and a kitchenette. The house is in a quiet neighborhood close to fantastic beaches and Hanalei. It is also a great spot if you wish to trek the Na Pali Coast. The house is clean, modern, and spacious.

The house was very spacious for our family vacation. The views from the lanais were beautiful. The house was clean and the management company was very responsive to our questions.

Twelve of us came from all over the US to spend a week in your lovely home. The ocean views were outstanding and there was a lot of space to spread out and enjoy our reunion. The neighborhoods is beautiful and quiet. Our host, Tanya, was very responsive in getting us extra keys so we could go off in various directions for activities and not worry about codes.


We were a bit surprised that only the bedrooms and downstairs area were air conditioned. But we soon learned to use the fans and open the blinds and windows at night then shut them down again when the sun hit them. Also, the screen doors out to the upstairs deck could use some repairs. They were difficult to slide back and forth, but other than that the house was very well equipped.

The garden suite was perfect for my one family with two little ones under the age of 3. They could be somewhat separate for naps and the kitchen area was perfect for making up bottles. Babylicious was great with setting up the crib and youth bed I ordered, which your management was helpful in connecting us up with one another.

I loved my upstairs suite where I could get away and relax from the hubbub of the rest of the crew. I watched the sun come up and listened to the crowing of the roosters every morning. Could hear the waves breaking in the distance. So beautiful.

We loved the hot tub for star watching after a day of exploring this beautiful island with so many adventures awaiting us. There was something for everyone.

We could see and hear the ocean waves but couldn’t see or hear people! On two sides of the property it was jungle for at least a half mile. Spent a lot of time on 2 of the 3 balconies. Updated and large kitchen. Large bedrooms and very well appointed master bedroom. I would rent this property again.

A beautiful home with lots of room lots of parking and privacy.

The house was beautiful but not 5 star caliber due to the lack ofmaintence and air conditioning. The oven did not work in either kitchen. The icemaker made ice but would not dispense. The refrigerator kept shutting down. Management blamed this on the high humidity and heat. But the house held our group of 14 very well on three floors. Beautiful location and a beautiful view of the ocean off deck.

This home is beautiful and the inside pictures are spot on. The outside pictures don't do the view justice! Gorgeous views of the ocean and jungle-like backyard. BUT:
There were so many appliances that didn't work that it really had a negative impact on our vacation. If we had known about them we would have never rented this home. The dishwasher didn't work until the afternoon of our 5th day (we rented for 7 days), the oven in the kitchen didn't work (there is one downstairs and we used it once but it's very hard to cook in a kitchen without a working oven), the clothes washer was broken (a small one was available in the downstairs area at least), and the refrigerator could not keep a cold temperature so a lot of our food and drinks did not come out of the fridge cold (although nothing seemed to spoil). Lastly, the bedroom with the pingpong table had a terrible ant problem. I forgot to let the property manager know about it because there were so many things wrong that we were communicating about with her about that we forgot about that one.
I have asked the property manager to talk with the owner about a partial refund but have not had an update. At this price point, all appliances should be working or fixed immediately.
Manager response on 2018-08-13 - Response from Hawaii Life Real Estate Brokers
Aloha, Thank you for your review and for sharing you experience with us. We are very sorry to hear your stay was negatively impacted by some of the appliances being inoperable. We are waiting on replacement appliances to be shipped from the mainland which usually takes 4-6 weeks for any deliveries. However, it’s good to know you were able to make use of the additional appliances provided as there is a 2nd set of all appliances in the house, washer/dryer, fridge, oven, etc. We appreciate you being communicative with us during your stay and hope you were able to enjoy yourself in spite of these inconveniences.

Kauai was so beautiful as was the home 11 family members shared. Great views and all was for the most part good
There were several issues with TV's, fans and a major problem with the main kitchen refrigerator. Tanya's went above and beyond and tried her best. She went as far as the owner would let her. Home really needs ac.

Thank you for your comments and we agree Tanya, our manager is fantastic! Thank you for bringing the fans and other items to our attention. We will make sure that these items are attended to. We do welcome you back to beautiful Kauai in the future! Mahalo!

We wanted a place to stay that would house our group of 13, mostly adults. The size and layout of the house was perfect. We could all be together, but it also allowed each of us our private space. The house was clean and had all of the essentials that we needed. The chairs and umbrellas were especially helpful at the beach which is just a short drive away. The only concern we had, and it’s a biggie, is the lack of air conditioning. I knew when we booked it had no AC, but the trade winds were supposed to keep everything cool. The trade winds were non-existent and it was 85°. Locals informed us that they don’t get much of the trade winds in June. :/ Being a Texas girl, I’m accustomed to the heat, but it was awful. The rental service brought out numerous fans, but it wasn’t enough. Because the house was so hot, the fridge basically didn’t work. The temp in the fridge wouldn’t get lower than 55°. We had quite a bit of food ruin. We had to move stuff to the fridge in the garden suite, which had an air conditioner. Given the cost of this house, they could put in AC. We would stay here again IF they put in AC. Otherwise, it’s just like staying in a sweat box.

Aloha Whitney, Thank you for your review the house is spacious and we are glad it fit your family well! Its true we had record heat during the time of your stay and little to no trade winds you just never know in June what kind of weather we may have.

The home was in excellent condition and was perfect for our stay. The kitchen and other common areas were just right; the appliances were all working. The views were gorgeous. We really appreciated the beach equipment and used it all. We only used the bikes once; one needed air and we couldn't get the pump to work. A small matter that would have made a difference to us: we would have appreciated an adequate supply of soap in the bathrooms, and a bottle of shampoo. There were hair dryers and plenty of towels, which was great.

This home delivered on all of our needs in full. My wife and I hosted our three children, their spouses and a gaggle of grandchildren at this home to get away from a long winter. The first impressions were extremely positive as there is ample parking for several vehicles with four concrete parking slabs and room on the driveway for additional vehicles if needed. The home is very roomy and even though we had a large group, we did not feel cramped. The house was well stocked with sufficient household supplies. Even though the fine print says a start up supply of toiletries, cleaning supplies are provided, we found that we did not have to run out and buy replacement items. Sleeping quarters were perfect for each family. All of the appliances were in good working condition. A bonus is the presence of two washing machines and dryers. The garage is well stocked with beach chairs, umbrellas and water toys. A large supply of beach towels in the front hall closet meant we never had to share. The four bicycles that are provided were a hit as we went for daily rides through the neighbourhood enjoying the placid community and the views. The highlight is the lanai that looks onto the ocean. We were entertained every night from 5:00 pm to sundown by whales breaching off the shore. Overall this home ticked off all of the boxes and we would highly recommend it as a must stay for families.

We had rented a beach house thru VRBO last August, found out two days before arriving on May 10 the house was not permitted and we could not get necessary passes to travel on road to get to the house. We were desperate! We had our children and their young children to house, 12 people. I found this house from Hawaii Life website. House was wonderful, well stocked for our needs. Hawaii Life was easy to work with, very professional, quick responses. I will rent from Hawaii Life again. Thank you for everything!

Very beautiful place with plenty of room for the whole family. The place very clean except for the window frames and some of the screens. The fridge had issues staying cold.

We had 6 couples staying in the home and it was great. One couple had to sleep on a bunk bed but the lower bed was big enough for both to sleep in. We loved being able to relax in the hot tub each night and come home to a great house. We utilized both refrigerators so that was a big bonus. Kitchen had everything we needed. 6 boogie boards and 8 chairs to go to the beach with including 2 snorkel gear made it nice as well.
Individual A/C units in each room made the whole house cool and enjoyable.
The master bedroom is very large along with its bathroom and closet. The deck and view off the master was beautiful.
It would be nice to have the garage code but not a big deal to open the garage after going through the home.

My husband and I renewed our vows with friends and family. We loved staying in this home. The space, size and layout is very comfortable. The home easily fit multiple couples, kids, and grandparents. The home is well stocked with all necessities even more than expected including tons of beach gear. Our only complaints were minor but the sliders in the main master bedroom and the dining room wouldn’t open. They were broken and since the house doesn’t have central air it was VERY hot during the day. We contacted the property manager who said there is nothing they can do about the doors being broken. Also the outside patio chairs were broken and/or unstable and really need replaced. Other than that the house was fantastic.
Manager response on 2022-07-08 - Response from Hawaii Life Real Estate Brokers
Mahalo for the review and congrats on renewing your vows! Glad you enjoyed your stay! We do apologize for the doors and patio chairs and apologize that we couldn't have an immediate fix on this issue. We will work with our property manager to get this resolved. Mahalo!

We had a wonderful stay in this beautifully decorated, clean house that's in a great location. Lovely views, 10 minutes to the beach, 5 minutes to spectacular views of Hanalei Bay, and 10 minutes to Hanalei Town and its shops and restaurants. Princeville is an excellent location for exploring the north shore of Kauai, and the house is in a peaceful neighbourhood, with bikes and beach chairs and boogie boards for guest use. Definitely recommended!

We greatly enjoyed staying at Mauna Pua in Princeville, Kauai, for 8 nights during the 4th of July week. Our family joined us in this gracious home with our five grandchildren, ranging in age from 3 years to 11 years. Mauna Pua offered a quiet retreat from our busier lives on the Mainland. We enjoyed snorkeling at the nearby beaches, a wonderful Family Tour at Na Aina Kai Botanical Gardens, and the luau at Smith Gardens in the South. Our 11 year old granddaughter and her family were challenged by the events at nearby Princeville Ranch. And we ended up with an incredible dinner assisted by our thoughtful waiter Jeff at the St. Regis Hotel overlooking Hanalei Bay. We loved cooking our own meals in the well organized kitchen. Only two complaints: a problem with the refrigerator, which was promptly addressed, and a bike with no breaks which should be discarded!

Hi Elizabeth, We are thrilled your enjoyed your stay with us and enjoyed Mauna Pua! Prior to your arrival, we repaired the bike but we will replace it today with a new one. It sounds like you have a lovely stay and we welcome you back to Mauna Pua. Mahalo, Kahea

The house and location are amazing. We had a group of 11 adults, and only 1 person complained about the bed (the bunkbeds were problematic for someone taller than 6 feet). The only major complaint was that 1/3rd of the stuff was not working or was in bad condition: upstairs oven (this was very annoying), 1/2 of the grill, 1 of the bikes was unusable), and there are no shades in the master suite (bring eye masks!). Also- the patio needs more seats! But overall, we were very happy with our stay. For the price, it seems like all the appliances should be working. Also, there is no AC, so the rooms were a little hot.
Manager response on 2018-06-20 - Response from Hawaii Life Real Estate Brokers
Aloha, Thank you for your review and for sharing your experience with us. We do apologize for the inconvenience with the upstairs oven. This oven is being replaced, but hopefully you were able to use the 2nd oven on the lower level. We appreciate your notes on the gas grill, we believe a butane lighter is necessary to light the middle burners. In addition, the unusable bike is also being replaced. Our guest’s experience is very important to us and we apologize for these inconveniences during your stay. It’s wonderful to hear that overall your group was very happy with your stay. Mahalo for staying with us and we look forward to seeing you and your group again on your next visit!
