About this property

North shore Kauai w/AC & pool, near beaches

Whether you are coming to Kauai to golf, surf, snorkel, the beaches, Hawai'iana, or just relaxing, you'll not find a better place at this price (Standard Occupancy is 2*). 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.

Located in the Princeville Resort which has a grocery store, wine and liquor store, shopping center, restaurants, tennis courts, golf courses, a playground, and wonderful walking trails. 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 Polynesian, celestial, and retro, Hoku Lani is sparkling clean, has great attention to detail and many deluxe thoughtful amenities. The kitchen has everything you need to make fabulous food from our local fish, meat and farmer's market 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.

*Listed rate is for the standard occupancy of 2, but home can accommodate up to 4 if the 2 extra are children. The living room couch becomes a full size bed and there is also a folding floor mat (futon.) Extra guest fee beyond two is $30+tax / per night / per person. There is a limit of 2 extra guests and this fee is collected after booking.

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!

Also please know that we cannot accommodate charging of electric vehicles at this property at this time.

Wow!

Our stay was exceptional. The property was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. It had a nice deck where we could enjoy drinks in the evening or have a quick breakfast before our day began. The kitchen was fully equipped, the living room was very comfortable, as was the bed and pillows. They also have a nice sized washer and dryer which came in very handy! It was the perfect spot and felt like our home away from home. Thank you!!

Perfect in Princeville

This property was even better in real-life than was shown in its attractive listing! It really is a special find. Well-stocked, incredibly clean and very comfortable, the condo was the perfect base for our stay in Kauai. The owner/host Tony is exceptionally friendly and accommodating. We're already planning our return...

Cozy island condo!

My friend and I stayed here on our recent trip to the island and absolutely love the condo. Tony was super welcoming and so kind he checked in on us when we passed through and we loved chatting with him. He was very, very sweet offered to take us stargazing after we requested. It was a beautiful condo. The beds were comfortable, plenty of clean towels and linens and a lot of beach accessories. That were very nice for them to provide snorkeling gear beach chairs wakeboard Towels, lots of sunscreen, etc. they even provide us with a fresh water, pineapple and some local chips we really loved staying here. Thought the place was very clean. Very nice. The neighborhood is also very very cool. There’s a beach you can walk down to via a little jungle walk and then there’s also some mountains walking distance from a little park coffeeshops, and grocery store very very great neighborhood and area. Absolutely loved staying here and maybe I’ll come back with my parents.

Well appointed and comfortable

We were very satisfied and delighted with our accommodations at Tony and Judith’s condo. The layout of the space was excellent. Tony has anticipated the needs of his guests extremely well. And he is readily available if you have questions. We prepared at least two meals a day in the kitchen and found it to be well stocked with cooking utensils. As with all rental units, if possible, do bring your own chef knife. Tony offered to show us the night sky with his powerful telescopes but the weather did not cooperate. We hope to return one day for a second visit.

Honeymoon in Princeville

We had an amazing stay! We spent the first 4 nights of our honeymoon in Princeville before heading to the south side of the island. This rental was spotless clean and so cozy. They have every beach amenity you could need (chairs, umbrella, snorkel sets, bougie boards..). The owner lives in the unit downstairs and even took us one evening to see the comet in the night sky! We were able to drive very easily to all of the nearby beaches. Hanalei was a very safe beach for swimming which we loved. Can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful Stay

We recently stayed at this property and it was a fantastic experience! The attention to detail in the upkeep of the property was evident throughout my stay. The location of the property was great. It’s situated close to all the essential spots—restaurants, shops, and attractions—making it convenient for exploring the area. Whether you’re looking for a quiet retreat or easy access to local highlights, this place offers the perfect balance. The owner went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed and were available to answer questions. The only A/C in the unit is in the bedroom. It got warm in the living area in the afternoon and evening, but there are plenty of fans, and the bedroom gets nice and cold, so it wasn't a problem for us. Overall, I highly recommend this rental property to anyone looking for a top-notch experience. It combines cleanliness, a prime location, and exceptional service for a stay that’s truly worth five stars!

We felt right at home

Tony and his lovely wife were such kind hosts. They made us feel very welcome and Tony loved sharing his knowledge about the island and things to do with us. We are sad that we missed out on a stargazing session, would have been very interesting. Maybe next time. The apartment was very spacious, clean and provided everything we needed and more. We had a great time there! Thank you Tony

Princeville paradise!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had an amazing week-long stay at this great spot! It was five minutes from Hanalei Bay and an easy drive back to Lihue for the airport. The Princeville area has everything you could want. Short walk down to a public beach from the condo but basically private as we were down there in the mornings by ourselves to take in the calm ocean view. Our host, Tony, and his wife live downstairs and we're so welcoming and accommodating while we were there. They even helped us celebrate my wife's birthday which ended up being his also! Just lovely people. This was a perfect spot for us to come home to after days of hiking, surfing, snorkeling and many other activities. Two minutes from the shops, store and restaurants at Princeville. Will stay there again!!

Anniversary getaway

My husband and I vacationed in Kauai for the 3rd time in 6 years. We got married in Poipu in 2018 and fell in love with the island. This trip was our 2nd time staying on the North shore and it did not disappoint. Hoku Lani was perfect for us. The location and property were wonderful. There are so many beaches within a short drive of the property. There is a beautiful golf course within walking distance. There is also shopping with a grocery store, post office and restaurants within a mile. We walked there a couple times during our stay. We highly recommend Hideaway Pizza, Happy Talk lounge at Hanaoei Bay Resort and 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay. The Sugarcane Blaze cocktai at 1 Hotel Hanalei is a Must try. If you love Mexican food, try Pacos Tacos in Kapaa…muy delicioso. I had the chicken taco salad and my husband had the carnitas burrito. Both were excellent! There are so many places I could recommend but I’d run out of room to write :) The hosts, Tony and Judith were very hospitable and friendly. The condo provided all the amenities to enjoy while at the beach or pool. The pool is very close and water temperature perfect. We spent every morning relaxing on the balcony while drinking our coffee. Overall, Great condo, location and entire stay. Aloha

The Very Best vacation rental on the Garden Isle of Kaua’i

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Gale, my wife and I stayed at Tony and Judith Gaspar’s vacation's rental May 2-13, 2024. Without a doubt the hosts of this rental made our visit to the island the most memorable of our stay. We have been to Kaua’i numerous times, the first on our Honeymoon, November 1972. We’ve stayed in hotels, condos, and houses. It was the personality, attitude and graciousness of Tony and Judith that made us welcome and part of their Ohana. Tony and Judith invited us to their tiny apartment and prepared a scrumptious Hungarian dinner. After the dinner, master guitarist, Tony played rock and roll songs which we joyously sang together. Tony can play any genre of music as shown by his massive collection. The clincher was Gale and I rented EV without knowledge of how many miles it would convey us and how far it would travel on 15% power?! We made it back to Kilauea, found a charging station and hooked up the vehicle with Tony’s help with Judith and Gale patiently waiting. The next morning our host’s delivered us back to the EV charged up and raring to go! Thank you so very much!Mr. & Ms Tony GasparFriends we’ve made for life!Sincerely,Mark & Gale GronsoPendleton, OregonJudith is a recent arrival from Hungary. Tony has lived many years in the U.S.

Short but Sweet!

I jumped over from Kona, but wanted to extend my trip a few more days. The host was very pleasant extremely gracious in all his offerings! I was not there much, I was out enjoying Kaua’i as much as possible. But the place was excellent for my trip, I did not cook but they have a wonderful place to do so, and a cozy comfortable place to chill as well. The bed & pillows were like a soft cloud, perfect for me. They have a place to spray your feet before entering, which was nice & everything you truly would need. I didn’t go to the pool, but it did look like a great place to hang out as well. Never seen lots of people there, only a few. The parking was never an issue for me, I always found a spot to park. I would definitely recommend this place, excellent decor and a lovely vibe to end my trip!!! Thanks Tony and best wishes!!! Mahalo ps. Just put in Mauna Kai Condominiums, and it will direct you from the airport to their parking lot Princeville.
