Hoku Lani is a fun and sophisticated home base for your North Shore Kauai experience. Whether you are coming to Kauai to golf, surf, snorkel, the beaches, Hawaiiana, or just relaxing, you'll not find a better place at this price. Perfect for two, Hoku Lani, is located close to the entrance of Princeville giving you easy access to Hanalei and the rest of the North Shore beaches. Hoku Lani, Heavenly Star in Hawaiian, is a second story one bedroom unit. Standard occupancy is 2.

Located in the Princeville Resort which has a grocery store, and shopping center, restaurants, tennis courts, golf, a playground, and wonderful walking trails. Princeville also has a gym and lap pool that you can purchase passes to. Princeville is on the North Shore and within 1/2 hour to so many beautiful beaches. It is less than 10 minutes to world renown Hanalei Bay and Anini Beach.

Decorated in a cool blend of Polynesia, celestial, and retro, Hoku Lani is sparkling clean, has great attention to detail and many thoughtful amenities. The kitchen has everything you need to make fabulous food from our local fish, meat and vegetables. A new queen bed waits to cradle you after a hard day at the beach. The house has just been newly renovated with all new kitchen appliances, a new bathroom and flooring. A sweet lanai enables you to enjoy the trade wind breezes and catch a peek of the blue ocean.

The living room couch becomes a full size bed if you have a child. (Listed rate is for the standard occupancy of 2, but home can accommodate up to 3. Extra guest fee beyond two is $50/night + tax per person. This fee is collected after booking. There is a limit of one extra guest.)

There is a washer and dryer off the downstairs foyer for your use. Hoku Lani is located in the Mauna Kai Condominiums which means you have beautiful tropical landscaping & one of the biggest pools on the North Shore for your use. There is a pavilion at the pool with a BBQ, dining and lounging area, ping pong table and bathrooms. The pool is solar heated. Hoku Lani is just a short walk to the pool.

The owner, Tony, has provided boogie boards, water noodles and snorkeling gear. Stores, restaurants and spa are within walking distance. At the end of Wyllie Road is a trail down to Anini Beach to get to the beach on foot, and you are only 10 minutes away from Hanalei Bay. You are in the center of the North Shore's many beaches to the East and West of you. Princeville features many walking trails, great views, restaurants, shops, golf and tennis. Even if you don't golf, you can take a sunset view tour of the most gorgeous settings on golf carts complete with a bar and goodies. Hoku Lani is a great place to relax at night too. There is a 70 inch smart TV for your Netflix or others apps. Just cast them from your phone. There is one last amenity that no one else has. If you love to star gaze, you can make an appointment with Tony to see through his telescope which is taller than him, called a light bucket, out at the pool at night! What a memorable & fun activity. Big TV, big telescope, big savings. :o) Why wait? Book today and save!

"Located in the Mauna Kai community in Princeville, this is a great place to stay if you're looking to mainly relax in north Kauai. We stayed here in mid October and it was very comfortable keeping the windows open and using the ceiling fans available throughout the unit. For those that tend to run hot, a window AC unit is available for the bedroom, but we didn't need it. Keep in mind that hearing the nature noises such as rainfall or roosters is part of the charm of keeping the windows open in a place like this. Since it is thriving condo community, there can be some noise from surrounding neighbors, but we weren't bothered by it. The main living area is very spacious and nicely updated. The hosts, Tony and Judith, live right downstairs and are absolutely wonderful. They even gave us a vase of flowers and a card for our honeymoon. Even though property management is involved in the booking process, Tony made everything feel like it was a traditional b&b during our stay.

"We had a very relaxing stay at this condo. The owner, Tony, who lives below this unit, met us at the entry and even helped with the luggage! Mauna kai was quiet overall,( there are chickens everywhere in Kauai, so every place I've stayed over the past twelve years you can hear them at one time or another). But they were not bothersome. The pool is large, heated, and well maintained; and/ we had no problems with parking.. If you love the north shore, you'll love Mauna Kai's location for its proximity to the beaches at this end of the island. We were there nine days: the condo is well stocked with beach gear, a well-stocked kitchen and bath, informational pamphlets and books about Kauai, and even some recreational reading material. Tony also provided a welcome basket full of snacks and was a friendly and knowledgeable neighbor who we came to consider a friend. Thanks Tony and Judith!

A fantastic location in Princeville, in walking distance to the Farmer’s Market (Saturdays), and a trail that takes you to the gorgeous Anini Beach!

He is a great conversationalist with many interesting stories to share, as well as being a gifted guitarist! He never once intruded and always respected my space. If you have any interest in astronomy, let Tony know! One evening he brought out one of his prized telescopes and with Tony’s guidance, I was able to see Saturn! He also took me to one of his favorite spots on Hanalei Bay where we went for a walk on the beach, swam in the water, and he even treated me to a delicious picnic overlooking the Bay.

"Simply amazing. To start, if you are debating visiting the North Shore of Kauai during the summer, stop thinking and pull the trigger. The beaches are breathtaking, the most beautiful we have seen on all of the islands. Crystal clear turquoise water, an abundance of snorkeling options, and breathtaking views. This is the first time we have seen turtles, monk seals, and dolphins all in the same trip while just hanging out at the beach. We had Anini Beach and Secret Beach practically to ourselves. Tony's place was immaculately clean. Everything is labeled, you can tell a lot of care and love is put into this property. We had everything we needed from chairs, to snorkeling gear, beach bag, cooler, and towels. Huge TV with all the Apps you could want. Bed was comfortable and there is a window AC unit in the bedroom which kept us cool at night. Lots of windows and fans. During the winter I'm sure this place stays very cool, it was a little toasty for us though and we needed the AC at night. The balcony view is great, not a beachfront balcony but you can see a sliver of the ocean with beautiful trees and plants along the way. The property was beautiful and well-maintained. Pool was much bigger than we gathered from the pictures, we didn't use it but it did seem heated from dipping our toes. There is a 10-15 minute trail from the apartment down to the far end of Anini Beach, it is steep and this part of the beach is not really swimmable. Lots of coral though may be nice for snorkeling. Walk to Queens Bath is about 30-45 minutes (easy neighborhood walking until you hit the trail) and I didn't find the trail down or up to be that difficult. There was some parking outside of Queens Bath but it was very limited. There is a shopping center about 10-15 minutes of neighborhood walking away, we always drove though, it's a very short drive. They have a few restaurants, Food Land, and live music every night. Hanalei was about a 10 minute drive with more dining options, food trucks, shops, and beautiful views. Tony was very attentive and made it a point to check on us. This was an amazing vacation and I would not hesitate to book this property again. One small thing for us was the couch. Neither of us found it particularly comfortable for an extended period of time. Obviously, Kauai is not the place to sit on the couch and watch TV, and this would not stop us from booking again, just wanted to share our opinion. Mahalo for an amazing and memorable vacation!

"You see a lot of short-term rentals titled “Home away from home” and maybe like 20% of them are accurate, but THIS ONE IS TRULY A HOME AWAY FROM HOME! From the moment you walk in, the decor is welcoming and warm. If you’re a tech person, the wifi is high speed, the smart TV is awesome (airplay available), lighting remote controlled, and all the appliances are new (I thought the microwave was cool haha). All the ports in the house even have USB connections which was awesome! The kitchen and living area has anything you might think you need. Moving on to the bed & bath~ Your bed at home will always win the prize for comfort, but this was certainly a close second to our Purple bed at home. I also think it’s awesome that there is an AC unit in the master for those sensitive to hot nights. A big thing for me is the water pressure on the shower and it was perfect! Tony has definitely thought of anything you may need making it a true home away from home. As a cherry on top, Tony lives in the unit below and is one of those human beings you come across, get to know, and just feel so happy you had the pleasure of meeting them. I can’t say enough good things about Tony and just so happy we had the pleasure of staying here for our honeymoon. I couldn’t have had it any other way! We’ll certainly be back in the future :)

I also appreciated all of the decor and cute touches like labeled light switches. It was also recently remodeled I believe and well done at that. The kitchen was fully stocked with new appliances, equipment, and misc things like salt, oil, and pepper. The best part that really made our trip was Tony himself. He stayed in the downstairs of the property which is completely separate BTW. When we first got there, he welcomed us into his own home and offered us beer and snacks and really made us feel like family. He is also an astronomy expert and spent a night showing us the stars and celestial bodies through his high-end telescope. It was truly an amazing night.

This place had everything you needed. And Tony was an amazing host. We were even privileged to have an evening star gazing or better yet, see some amazing galaxies with his digital telescope. His place was clean and fully equipped with everything you needed for a day at the beach. Anything you needed, Tony was there to help. The only thing that was not well kept was the pool area. The pool and pool deck could use a good cleaning and weeds were growing through the cracks in pavement. Also there was only one Barbecue and it was not very clean. And the tables and counter area of the BBQ area was very dirty. I wouldn't want to eat there. I never seen anyone using that area either. We usually went over to BBQ with my daughter. This place is also walking distance to Princeville village which has a great market and good restaurants. But be prepared for everything to shut down early as this is a very quite community.

"Stayed here for a week with a buddy and it worked out great. The check-in process was smooth and the unit was clean and well-decorated. Honestly, we thought the unit had 2 beds (that was on us -- we didn't read close enough) so one of us took the bed and the other took the futon and it wound up working out fine. Tony, the owner who lives below, was incredibly nice and generous. All-in-all, we had a great stay and I'd gladly stay here again my next time in Kauai.

"The property blew us away and made our first Hawaiian vacation experience one we won’t ever forget. Tony, our host, was a pleasure to spend time with and has a real knack for being a host. You should have him on one of those VRBO commercials! The house was impeccably decorated and had everything you could want or need. If it was missing something Tony would run out and buy it! The location was within walking distance to shopping and some real great dining. If you’re thinking about the peace and quiet of the north coast, you can’t go wrong with this property. If we ever come back we will stay our entire duration here for sure.

"One bedroom condo that has everything you need for a week's stay in Princeville. Close to Anini beach, Hanalei, and the Maki golf course. The Pool open 9:00 - 09:00 is a short walk away, was uncrowded, and the perfect spot after a day at the beach or a round of golf. The old Princeville golf course is next door right outside the condo, and although it's closed, I was able to take walks on the old cart paths and enjoy some fantastic ocean views. There are plenty of accessories for your day at the beach, the owner is a really great guy, and he's thought of everything you need for a comfortable stay, he's also a wealth of information about the area, and has become a good friend. If your a golfer, I would highly recommend the Maki golf course, it's very playable and has some of the most beautiful golf holes you'll find anywhere. I would also recommend renting a car for ease in getting around the island. There is a good sized Safeway supermarket, on the way from the airport, and it's a good first stop, to stock up on items for the week. Hanalei also has a smaller market, that has everything you need also. I am giving this place an A++++

"We're not even sure where to start. As soon as we got to the condo, we received the warmest welcome from Toni. The place is clean, well-lit, and makes you feel relaxed... It's mostly quiet, except for the occasional kids' laughters. There were two beers in the fridge, a pineapple, and snacks waiting for us! At times, we didn't even go sightseeing, just stayed in the complex to swim and lounge around the condo watching TV or reading on the balcony. The pool is amazing (temperature perfect). Toni graciously shared his passion for astronomy. The three of us gazed at the stars, Saturn, and Jupiter from Toni's huge telescope (he has a collection!). He taught us so many things; it was a pretty amazing night. Toni was a genuinely kind and caring host. He played the guitar for us after dinner once. Don't get me wrong; we had some time to ourselves. However, we loved his company so much, we invited him to have dinner with us twice (my wife cooked at the condo.) There are clear instructions for navigating the condo with ease, and everything you need for a day at the beach (with snorkeling gears, beach chairs, boogie boards.... ); so you won't have to spend time figuring things out. Bring your own spices or go shopping. Overall, it was a great stay, and we, hopefully, get a chance to visit again! Thank you, Toni! Pascale & Dusan!

"I stayed here for almost two weeks with my two friends on a girls trip. From the time we arrived, we felt at home. The place was immaculate with many thoughtful touches and helpful information and recommendations. I slept on the futon which was really comfortable. Tony met us during the check in and he gave us a warm welcome and was very friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. The three of us were working remotely during part of our stay. The wifi and work spaces were perfect to accommodate the three of us. In terms of location, we were torn between staying on the North or South shore, but the North shore grew on us quickly and we loved being able to walk to Wyllie and Anini beach to snorkel and the Foodland plaza to get groceries and good food. I would love to stay here again!

Vacation Date: June 4, 2021
"The unit was advertised as sleeping 3. My original confirmation showed we were going to have 3 when I paid the first payment. When I called about making the second payment I was notified there was an additional charge of $15 per day for the third person. I don't know why there is an additional charge as the third person sleeps on the coach which converts into a full size bed. It's not like they had to incur additional charges other than cleaning a mattress pad, fitted sheet, flat sheet and pillow case. Tony the host was very nice and accommodating, I just think the VRBO listing should have either been listed as sleeps 2 with a third being accommodated for an additional charge. Other than that, the unit was very nice and had all of the amenities needed for our stay. I would definitely recommend it for a couple of people.

Even with landslide road closures, it all felt very easy. Tony is also a wonderful host who lives downstairs and is so kind and available for anything you need - as a bonus, ask him for his backstory and let him regale you with fascinating tales of his many past lives over a beer.

"We arrived on Kauai late on a Thursday night, got to the property later than expected, and found our host (Tony) waiting up for us with a warm welcome and to make sure we had everything we needed. The condo was crisp, comfortable and clean- everything is basically brand new- and decorated tastefully with local flavor. On a clear morning, you can see the ocean on the horizon from the balcony and if you turn around you can see the lush green mountains poking through between the roofs. All the amenities included with the kitchen, laundry, swimming pool and a nearby park/playground and walkable grocery store, made this a perfect place to stay for a small family with a toddler. There is a fold out couch in the living room, though we found with a little one... A makeshift nest in our closet with curtains to make it dark was just the ticket! High ceilings, loads of light and really a beautiful space, with everything you need to enjoy the beaches and pool included to borrow- towels, chairs, mats, snorkeling gear, boogie boards and goggles. And Tony, the host, is such a delightful and interesting character- and very accessible, he lives downstairs and is always only a knock or a phone call away. He has an array of interests and hobbies including astronomy with an impressive array of telescopes and will gladly share a star gazing experience extraordinaire if the evening clouds and your schedule cooperate. Finally, the location was fantastic. The North shore is lush and beautiful with some fantastic beaches to enjoy and an easy shuttle ride to hike the Napali coast (just book ahead). Princeville itself was a little ritzy for our taste, but for a more bohemian experience, just continue down the road to nearby Hanalei with a variety of shops, restaurants, a farmer's market and evening entertainment. The South side spectacles including Waimea are just a car trip away. Hoku Lanai was a perfect home base for a family vacation that was wonderful beyond all expectations.
