Why We Love This Home — Mauna Lanai
When we’re home on island, mornings often begin on the lanai with coffee, watching birds visit the patio railings and nearby greenery. The name Mauna Lanai reflects what we love most about this home—a sense of elevation, openness, and connection to the outdoors that feels calm and grounding. The single-level interior layout keeps everything feeling easy and connected, creating a comfortable, open space that’s effortless to settle into.
We love the natural flow between indoors and out. After a day at the beach or exploring nearby trails, evenings slow down naturally—cocktails on the queen bedroom lanai with pool and mountain views, family dinners shared around the table or on the lanai, and quiet time together as the day winds down. It’s a gentle, unhurried rhythm that feels restorative, comfortable, and distinctly North Shore.
Bright, Spacious & Effortless Single-Level Living at Mauna Lanai
The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen areas create a bright, welcoming space that works beautifully for families, couples, and longer stays. Mauna Lanai reflects the way this home lives—open, elevated, and thoughtfully connected—where the single-level interior layout allows everyone to move comfortably and easily without interior stairs.
Large sliding doors open to the main lanai, extending the living space outdoors and reinforcing the home’s seamless indoor–outdoor flow. A dedicated workspace with desk and seating is available for remote work or planning daily adventures. Central air conditioning is included and complemented by ceiling fans, providing quiet, consistent comfort throughout the home.

About the host
Hosted by Dhivya
Aloha! We’re Karthik and Dhivya—avid travelers who have explored countless destinations around the world, yet Princeville is the one place that truly captured our hearts. While we live among the majestic Rocky Mountains in Colorado, our home on Kauai is where we come to slow down and reconnect with the rhythm of the ocean.
This is our personal residence, thoughtfully curated with a blend of classic and contemporary design to create a refined island sanctuary. We spend several months here each year and take great pride in maintaining a calm, elegant space that reflects the natural beauty of the North Shore. We’re delighted to share our home with guests who value comfort, quiet luxury, and a truly restorative island experience.
Why they chose this property
We chose Kauai for its unmatched natural beauty, ocean energy, and relaxed pace of life. While the island is stunning throughout, our hearts were set on the North Shore for its unique climate and the incredible variety of experiences it offers—from hiking and kayaking to snorkeling, surfing, and scenic coastal walks.
Nihilani in Princeville was an easy choice. As one of the newer communities on the North Shore, it offers modern design, open layouts, and a true townhome feel that lives more like a private residence than a resort unit. The attached two-car garage and spacious floor plan were essential to us, especially for longer, restorative stays.
The resort amenities are exceptional. The pool, spa, and BBQ areas are beautifully designed and meticulously maintained. Because Nihilani is a boutique-sized community, it remains remarkably quiet and peaceful throughout.
Princeville itself is ideal for an active yet relaxed lifestyle. The walking and bike paths are extensive, beautifully landscaped, and perfect for daily strolls. From our home, you’re a short walk to local dining, world-class golf, Queen’s Bath, and Hideaways Beach. We also enjoy being close to the Westin and 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay—both wonderful spots for sunset cocktails.
Our townhome is ideally positioned within the community: just a minute’s walk to the pool and spa, yet far enough to preserve a sense of tranquility. Thanks to its unique location, the primary suite lanai enjoys glimpses of the Pacific horizon, while the second bedroom lanai offers serene mountain views—the thoughtful details that made this home feel truly special to us.
What makes this property unique
Our residence is distinguished by its pristine, like-new condition, understated elegance, and exceptional setting within the Nihilani community. Built in 2015 and meticulously maintained, the home reflects the quality and comfort of a well-cared-for primary residence rather than a typical vacation rental.
As our personal second home, every element has been curated with intentional simplicity and livability in mind—balancing quiet refinement with family-friendly comfort. The bi-level layout provides natural separation between social and private spaces, while subtle, thoughtful details ensure the home feels welcoming for couples, families, and multigenerational stays alike.
Located on the most tranquil side of the community, away from road noise and foot traffic, the home offers a rare sense of calm. At the same time, it remains just a short, easy walk from Nihilani’s beautifully maintained pool, spa, and BBQ areas. From the private lanais, guests enjoy soft horizon glimpses of the Pacific and serene views of the surrounding mountains, framed by lush tropical landscaping.
We are attentive, discreet hosts who take great pride in preserving the home’s condition and atmosphere. We are pleased to welcome guests who appreciate privacy, comfort, and a quietly luxurious North Shore experience—and who treat our home with the same care and respect with which it is offered.
