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 — 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.

8 / 10Excellent·Dec 2025
Nice, spacious condo. We had a couple minor issues and the management agency was very responsive. The only complaint is that the beds are insanely uncomfortable. Our entire group - from four years old to forty-four years old struggled to sleep because the mattresses were particularly hard and the pillows did not even seem like real pillows but rather prop pillows? I've never had this experience anywhere we have stayed, but they were laughably bad. Everything else was nice (good linens and towels!) so I'm not sure what's up with the beds. The condo is very private feeling and the pool at the property is lovely too.

Reviewer Comments:
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!

This was an outstanding property. The pictures really do not do it justice. Spacious and lots of room to spread out. It appears to be professionally decorated and the view 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).
