Makana Lei

We loved our stay! This is our second time staying at this house in Princeville, and we enjoyed it as much this time as the last. It’s very spacious, comfortable, and private. The backyard pool is a wonderful place to relax and get some sun. We’ll be back the next time we’re in Kauai!

We had a lovely time. The home was spotless, roomy, and private in a beautiful walkable neighborhood. In addition, there were plenty supplies for days at the beach such as boards, towels, and coolers. We enjoyed being in walking distance to the Princeville Center, park, basketball hoops and golf course. The private pool was the highlight—we enjoyed having access to it for morning and evening swims!

The house is great and extremely peaceful. We particularly enjoyed the well-appointed kitchen, and the private pool. We’ll be back to this house the next time we’re in Kauai!

Awesome location in princeville, very close to Hanalei. The house was a dream, we had a wonderful time. Everything was so easy, thank you!

Great open floor plan. Super clean and spacious. Appreciated the air conditioning and pool.

Honestly, the pictures do not do this house justice. It is way bigger in person, and everything about it was better than expected (and our expectations were high!) The house was super clean, extremely well-stocked with everything you could imagine, the location was fantastic (walking distance to a grocery store, a bank, restaurants and ice cream and shave ice for the kiddos. Additionally, the house was a short drive to Anini Beach with great snorkeling. The pool at the house was fantastic too. Most of all, the property management team were AMAZING. Yen and his team were kind, professional, responsive and made this stay a phenomenal one that our family will remember for a lifetime. If/when we ever make it back to Kauai, it would be an honor to stay here again. Mahalo! ?

This property was amazing. Beautiful and quiet neighborhood. House was clean and well equipped. Loved the pool for evening swims and the deck for morning coffee. Bedrooms were just right for our family of 5. Highly recommend.

The house had everything we needed and was spacious, clean and modern. The pool is beautiful as well as the front wrap around porch. It is in a wonderful neighborhood, quite and well kept. It was a great place to come back to each evening to relax and enjoy a BBQ or homemade dinner. Very close to all we needed in Hanalei and Kilauea. We really enjoyed our stay. We would love to return in the future!

Great house in a beautiful location with everything you need. We felt very comfortable and had a great time there.

We absolutely loved our stay here. Spent many mornings eating breakfast on the lanai while our baby watched the birds. Hanalei is less than 10 min drive where you can find shops and restaurants. The home was quiet, beds were comfy, AC and fans kept it cool, kitchen was totally stocked with every appliance and kitchen tool you might need. Garage was also well equipped with beach supplies. Overall very pleasant stay and would definitely return!

The house was amazing, the pool is great, can’t beat the location. The property is immaculate, the yard is beautiful. The house is well equipped plus some. Amazing kitchen. Air conditioners work well. Can’t wait to be back.

Incredible stay! The house was immaculate and had all the amenities you would ever need. Perfect location. Only wish we could have stayed longer. Thanks so much Elite Pacific for everything. We can’t wait to come back.

We had a great time with our family of four. Our kids spent hours in the pool every day. Everything is just as described and pictured. The house is recently renovated, everything works and there's lots of beach toys in the garage. All around a great experience!

This home was excellent in so many ways! VERY clean, spacious rooms, comfortable beds and sitting areas, well stocked & modern kitchen, quiet neighborhood, walking distance to shops & restaurants, lovely pool and landscaping, no deferred maintenance. We have stayed at many VRBO homes and it seems the last few years the quality has really declined (but not the price, LOL!), but this home experience has renewed our faith 🙂 Love it and can't wait to return!

Makena Lei is an absolutely fabulous vacation house! The house itself is beautiful with nicely appointed rooms. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you need. To say my kids enjoyed the pool would be an understatement. I hope we are able to return very soon.

The oranges are so delicious, the pool is clean, and it’s nice to sit on the balcony and have breakfast

Super easy everything. Great host. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home.

Easiest 5 star review! We loved our stay here. We felt at home the minute we arrived. The kitchen is amazing!! It has all that you need (dishes and appliances) plus the things you were hoping for. Having a washer and dryer was so convenient as well. Everything was so clean, tidy, and well organized. The bedrooms and bathrooms are up to date and spotless! The pool was lovely to swim laps and relax in- so refreshing! Outdoor seating and dining was ideal- plenty of seating throughout the home, and lots of spots to relax and unwind. Beds were very comfortable, and the open floor plan was perfect for enjoying those lovely island breezes- the ceiling fans were quiet, and AC units were all in just the right spots. The location is perfect, with the so many things you can walk to- Queen’s Bath, Old Club Med trail down to the water, grocery store. The neighborhood is so nice and quiet- and so close to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world! Lots of towels, and beach gear available. The bikes were a fun perk we enjoyed as well. After a day of adventuring it was awesome to rinse off in the outdoor shower! The management was pleasant and easy to work with, and always quick to respond to any questions we had. We would definitely book this home again in the future! Loved every minute!

Beautiful home and landscaping, great pool. Well stocked and better than the pictures. Would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful time on the north shore! Kids loved having the pool just for us and right there on the back porch. The house is beautiful and spacious and we really enjoyed our time spent just simply being in it!

This is a beautiful house that’s wonderfully decorated. It has everything you need. The Property Manager is very responsive. We loved our stay here and highly recommend it to anyone looking to stay on the north shore.

Our stay here for 10 days in the beautiful island was truly amazing and coming back to the nice home and all its amenities made it that much better! Even after a long day at the beach or a hike the kids loved coming back to the pool to end the day. The neighborhood and area is a great location! Yen was very helpful and communicative. I absolutely will be staying here again for my next family vacation.

My husband, our three teenage sons and I had an amazing time in Kauai, and the stay in this home made it a perfect trip. The pictures don’t do this beautiful home justice. Elite Pacific was wonderful with communication and the hosts had this home so well stocked with any and everything we’d need to enjoy the house and island. The floor plan was so open and made for such a relaxing environment, not to mention that it was decorated impeccably. After hours at the beaches, we were all so happy to come back to this beautiful space to relax and continue creating great memories together. We will without a doubt stay here again, whenever we’re fortunate enough to visit Kauai in the future. Mahalo!

The house is beautiful - very tastefully decorated and stocked with every amenity thinkable (except a hairdryer). The owners clearly want to make for an amazing stay for their guests. We had an amazing stay at this kauai jewel of a property!
