Mauna Kai 5B is the perfect retreat for large traveling groups looking to relax in style! You'll find all the familiar comforts of home inside this beautifully updated condo, and the central location to Kaua'i's North Shore makes it the ideal base for all your island adventures. The generous living space includes a fully stocked kitchen, upstairs and downstairs living rooms, dedicated work space for the digital nomads, and three comfortably appointed bedrooms. The floor-to-ceiling windows in the main living space look out onto the huge, shaded, wraparound lanai, which allows you to take full advantage of Kaua'i's outdoor beauty while maintaining your privacy. For your added comfort, the downstairs master suite and queen bedroom are air conditioned. A 2024 Traveler Review Award winning rental, Mauna Kai 5B is centrally located in Princeville, allowing for easy access to island hotspots like Hanalei, Anini Beach, and Kapa'a. The famous golden sands of Anini Beach are just a short 10-minute hike away down a shaded tree-lined path, making it easy to enjoy sun and surf. The property is also right next to the lush Makai Golf Course, where you can enjoy a morning walk along the scenic greenbelt, or take the path to the 1 Hotel at the far end of Princeville. The Westin Resort, just a 5-minute walk down Wyllie Road, provides convenient access to a Starbucks, grab-and-go mini-mart, and upscale dining at Nanea Restaurant. For even more options, the Princeville Shopping Center, with a variety of boutique shops, casual dining spots, and the Foodland grocery store, is just a 10-minute walk away. Be sure to check out Tiki Iniki for happy hour, and don’t miss the delicious shave ice (snow-capped is a must!). Every Saturday, you can also visit the Princeville Farmer’s Market for fresh local produce and unique island goods, before enjoying the free afternoon hula show at the Shopping Center! If you’re in the mood for more exploring, the quaint town of Hanalei is just a 10-minute drive away, as are the stunning beaches and calm waters of Hanalei Bay. For a deeper connection to Hawaiian culture, a visit to Limahuli Gardens (30 minutes by car) offers spectacular views and an educational experience on native plants and the island’s history. For excursions on the East Side or South Shore, be sure to budget your time accordingly. Drive time to the East Side (where the airport is located) is roughly 50 minutes, and to the South Shore is about 75 minutes. If you prefer to enjoy a true staycation, Mauna Kai offers fantastic amenities. The spacious pool area is equipped with plenty of sun loungers, gas grills, and a shaded cabana with outdoor dining tables – perfect for unwinding after a day of island exploration or enjoying a family BBQ. Whether you’re here to relax, explore, or simply enjoy the beauty of Kaua'i, Mauna Kai 5B is the ideal base for your vacation!.
