About this apartment rental
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 + a day bed in the master bedroom — 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.

- A private ocean-view pool (approximately 3-7 feet deep)
- Tennis Pickleball courts
- Beautifully maintained tropical grounds
- And for your adventures: curated beach gear (towels, chairs, cooler, umbrella) ensures every outing is effortless.

Mahina Kai is a beautiful property. Our family had a wonderful, relaxing stay. For future guests traveling with elderly family members, please note that there are multiple stairs to get to the property entrance! The drains in the showers were slow but manageable. Kauai is a tropical island and of course some bugs are expected, but this property certainly had more bugs than we anticipated! The kitchen was gorgeous and fully stocked with all the appliances needed, which was amazing!! The decor and location was gorgeous and convenient. Several serene walking paths and beach access. The beauty of the north shore is spectacular!

6 / 10Average·Nov 2022
Pu’u Poa 114 was exactly as pictured and is a beautiful layout and unit. All of the finish out is fantastic. There are a total of four couches/sitting areas inside, and they are all very comfortable. The bed in the primary bedroom was a little soft, and the bed pillows were quite high and stiff, but we still slept well. The air conditioning worked very well, and the view is pretty. Unfortunately, there was significant construction directly above our unit going on, and during the day, we heard a lot of hammering/drilling from 8-4. We were also not permitted to enjoy our private yard and view outside from the hours of 8am - 4pm (signs were posted as such). We called the property management company, and after the second phone call, Chris, the owner of the management company called us and took great care of us. We were moved to another unit in Pu’u Poa, which was nice. Not nearly as beautifully decorated or large, but it did have a beautiful view of Bali Hai and the ocean. We were comped one full night at the Pu’u Pao unit price and refunded the difference between the new unit’s nightly rate for our remaining nights. We were so impressed with how our situation was handled, we’ll seek opportunities to stay at other properties managed by the same company. Chris provided the gold-star of customer service, and while moving units during our stay was not planned, it helped make our trip a beautiful one. I’d just inquire about construction prior to booking this unit if visiting Pu’u Poa in the coming months (Nov 2022-Feb 2023).
