Mahina Kai, Princeville Oceanfront Luxury, Steps to Hideaways

2 Bedrooms 2 Bathrooms 5 Sleeps Princeville

A rare jewel on Kauai’s North Shore. Welcome to Mahina Kai — a newly renovated, designer-styled luxury condo perched on the ocean bluffs of Princeville. This boutique retreat blends modern elegance with soulful artistry, offering an exclusive experience unlike anything else on the island.

Step outside your ground-floor lanai to manicured lawns and sweeping ocean views. From the comfort of your designer sofa, watch whales breach in the winter months, rainbows arc across the horizon, and the sun rise over the Pacific. Just beyond your door, a private trail leads to Hideaways Beach — one of Kauai’s most treasured gems — and a short stroll takes you to the 1 Hotel for world-class dining and sunset cocktails.

Living Art by Design
Every element at Mahina Kai has been thoughtfully curated by luxury designer Briana of Dwell Crush, known for her elevated and soulful interiors. Each piece has been hand-selected to create an atmosphere that is both living art and ultimate comfort.

Spa-inspired bathrooms feature hand-painted microcrete finishes, evoking the feel of a private retreat.
Custom counters and artisan details reflect the craftsmanship of local Kauai makers. Balinese pantry panels were hand-sourced and installed by a local carpenter, bringing global elegance into island living. Local fine art photography adorns the walls, showcasing Kauai’s natural beauty through the lens of a celebrated island photographer. This level of detail creates a space that feels at once luxurious, soulful, and deeply connected to place.

Spacious Oceanfront Living
With 2 spacious bedrooms — both featuring Cal King beds with luxurious linens — and 2 spa-style bathrooms with walk-in showers and a soaking tub, Mahina Kai is designed for indulgence. At 2,200 sq. ft., it is one of the largest residences in the Pu’u Poa community, with soaring ceilings and a seamless open-concept design. A state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen with brand-new appliances and a grand dining area make hosting effortless and memorable.

Better than the pictures!

Wedding Trip

by Steven B.
Views were beautiful and location was amazing! The only issue we had was the step down in the living area. It was difficult to see and multiple people missed the step and almost fell. We moved a rug to the lower part of the step and it wasn’t a problem the rest of the stay. Other than that the place was everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Would definitely stay here again!
Thank you for the advisory Steven! We appreciate your review and look forward to hosting you again. Mahalo, Makana Kauai Properties

Relaxing Stay

The location is great as you can see the ocean from almost anywhere in the house. You can also hear the ocean if you are out on the patio or have the doors open. Very private for a condo. Two nenes visited a few times, and you could see and hear several other interesting birds and frogs. The kitchen was roomy for a condo and was well-equipped. Everything was in working order. It is nice to be a short walk/hike down to Hideaway Beach, as it was never crowded, there were honu, and the snorkeling was great. Hosts/management were responsive to questions. Would definitely stay here again.
Aloha Jamie, We loved hearing that. you enjoyed your stay at Mahina Kai on all levels. Mahalo for being wonderful guests and we look forward to hosting you in the near future.

Lovely Stay

by Megan D.
This code was awesome! It was larger than I expected from the photos. The view is beautiful. It was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. They have every kitchen item you could need. There is plenty of toilet paper and soap and laundry supplies. There is a hair dryer. The location is close to all of the North Shore attractions. I would definitely recommend this property.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review Megan! We look forward to hosting you again. Mahalo, Makana Kauai Properties

Amazing Rental!

by Tanya M.
Wow, the photos don't do this condo justice. Beautiful property, the condo is huge. Nicely renovated and the most secluded spot in the building. Very clean. Can't beat the view. Makana Kauai was wonderful to work with. The check in / check out process and their mobile app made it very smooth. I can't wait to rent from them again!
Thanks for the great review Tanya! We look forward to your return! Mahalo, Makana Kauai Properties

Private Paradise

by Tawnya C.
We had an amazing time during our stay at Mahina Kai. The unit was gorgeous, the view was amazing, and it was everything we hoped it would be. We loved the location for so many reason. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed (we cooked in a lot) and there were Nene geese that kept us company out front every day.
Thank you for your stellar review! We enjoyed hearing that you had an amazing stay and enjoyed this rental on all levels.

Huge Space with Beautiful Views!

The space is just as beautiful as the pictures. The beds are comfortable. The kitchen has all you could need and the view is breathtaking and also somehow feels very private. This rental is without a doubt on the most beautiful side of the island.

The rental company was a dream to work with. They were kind, professional, informational, and flexible. I wish all rental companies were as great as them! I would definitely stay again and when I return to the island, I will definitely be booking with this rental company.
Wow,thank you Kelsey for the wonderful review! We are so glad that we were able to provide you with everything you needed for a Kauai vacation and that you enjoyed all the services provided from our team. We look forward to hosting you again in the near future. Return soon.

Views!!

This place is beautiful, modern, clean and had the most amazing ocean views and access to Hideaway Beach! We loved staying here! My only complaint is that the AC unit kicks on every 45 min. in the middle of the night and it is very loud:( We had to shut it off to sleep, which got a little hot. There is also a window above the master bed without a shade that lets in the lights from outside. Not a bid deal if you don't prefer sleeping in the dark
We enjoyed your review and loved hearing that you had a wonderful stay. We are sorry to hear that the A/C kept you up and have scheduled A/C repair to fix the issue. Also, we are looking into a window covering for the window in the master. Mahalo for being wonderful guests.
