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. The condos are well situated in Princeville, actually walking distance to the local Foodland and shops. 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!
