Tranquil, Curated Space w/ Ocean Views from Private Lanai, In-Unit Laundry
Kamahana 16 UP is a thoughtfully updated, refined retreat overlooking the award-winning Makai Golf Course. The efficient-yet-inviting living space features a cozy media area, and well-stocked kitchenette complete with a toaster, toaster oven, hot plate, blender, and coffee maker. The bedroom boasts a plush king-sized bed and vanity or desk space, depending on your needs, with views of the sparkling Pacific Ocean. The shady private lanai looks out onto the beautifully maintained complex grounds, and is the perfect place to pass a quiet morning or lazy afternoon. All of the decor and bedding was curated and commissioned especially for Kamahana 16UP by digital artist Sunny Tien, making this a truly one-of-a-kind getaway!
You'll find that the location is just as desirable as the condo itself at Kamahana 16UP! Island favorite Anini Beach is just 5 minutes away driving, and has calm, clear waters great for snorkeling and swimming. The beautiful golden beaches of Hanalei Bay are just 15 minutes away, and the water is gentle and shallow, great for swimmers of all ages. The charming Hanalei town is right nearby as well, and has all the boutique shopping and delicious eating you could ever want! Try some ultra-fresh fish at the Hanalei Dolphin, or grab a sweet treat at Wishing Well Shave Ice (add the macnut ice-cream and thank us later!). If you don't mind a longer journey, Tunnels Beach is 30 minutes away, and has some of the best snorkeling on the island, and plenty of Honu (Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles) too! For those that prefer to stay a little closer to home, the Princeville Shopping Center is only 1.5 miles away, about 5 minutes driving, and has a Foodland grocery store, and plenty of eating out options for casual dining! Happy hour at Tiki Iniki is a great way to pass the afternoon with a cocktail and an appetizer, and the Saturday morning farmers market and free afternoon hula show are the perfect local activities!
For laidback, close to home fun, the Kamahana complex offers all you need for a chilled-out, restorative stay. The complex pool is meticulously maintained, and has plenty of sun loungers scattered about. Bring your favorite cocktail to the pool (no glass cups please!) and spend the day stretched out by the pool catching some rays and enjoying the temperate weather. For those interested in a bit of thrill we recommend walking just 5 minutes to the Sealodge Beach trailhead and braving the muddy path down to the beach. You'll be rewarded with a true hidden gem, and the perfect place for a quiet picnic lunch by the water!
For excursions on the East Side or South Shore of the island, be sure to budget your time accordingly. Drive time to the East Side (where the airport is located) is roughly 50 minutes, and to the South Shore is 75 minutes.

The location was good. We were disappointed there wasn't a full kitchen with a stove, oven, and dishwasher.

We're very glad that you found everything to your liking Michael! Hopefully it was a peaceful and relaxing vacation, and we'd love to have you stay with us again sometime. Mahalo!
This charming apartment felt brand new. Owner thought of everything. Comfortable bed, nice clean linens, dish and glassware to spare. Great location in Princeville.
Only complaint- hot water for showers was tepid.
But that would not deter us from staying here again.

Reviewer Comments:
We enjoyed our week long ng stay at this charming studio in Princeville! It had everything we needed. It’s a kitchenette with amenities to cook. The ocean view is just outside a top a cliff on the golf course. Gorgeous view and beach is only about 19minutes near by. We’ll be back!

Mahalo for your kind review, Joleen! We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed your week with us, and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon :-) Aloha and safe travels on your future adventures!
This is a nicely updated and appointed condo. The trade winds keep it cool, but you have to leave the blinds and windows open to get the full effect. Luckily the property is quiet and dark, so this is no big issue.
Furniture is typical low end by nice looking BNB furniture. Coffee table tops over easily and is not toddler friendly. Having laundry is nice after a day at the beach. The bed is comfortable.
Checkout procedure is not super intensive, which is nice.
Overall, it’s a clean and quiet spot with a short drive to Hanalei.

Thank you very much for the kind review Adam! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay, and we hope you had an excellent time exploring the island :) We'll look into updating the coffee table, thanks for the heads up! Hope to see you on Kauai again soon, safe travels
Very clean with most of interior recently redone. Very quiet neighborhood. Nice porch with limited views. Was traveling solo and suited my needs well.
Minor issues:
Some suggestions. Inside seating limited to a very uncomfortable couch. Unit would be improved by an additional of comfortable chair. There is a high table in the bedroom which was fine but was not functional as desk. Sliding screen door suffered wind damage during stay. The patio door unit could benefit from replacement or upgrade.
