A Peaceful & Private Townhome Retreat

🌺 Why We Love This Home

When we’re home at Pua Lanai, mornings often begin on the main lanai with coffee, birds visiting the railing or nearby trees, and—on occasion—a local rooster or chicken wandering through, a charming and authentic part of island life. Pua Lanai, which evokes blooming outdoor living, reflects how this home feels: open, relaxed, and connected to nature.

We love lingering lunches outdoors, and after a day at the beach, evenings naturally slow down—cocktails on the upper lanais, quiet conversation, and time to unwind together. Dinner is our favorite family moment, shared around the table or on the lanai as the day winds down. It’s a calm, unhurried rhythm that feels restorative, comfortable, and quietly invigorating.

⚠️ Safety & Local Terrain Notice

Princeville sits atop scenic coastal bluffs, and beach access in this area typically involves descending trails and climbing back up. Nearby coastal paths and beach routes may include steep sections, uneven footing, and muddy conditions after rain.

Some secluded beaches are accessed via rugged trails and do not have lifeguards. Guests should use caution, wear appropriate footwear, supervise children closely, and assess conditions carefully before exploring. Ocean conditions can change quickly—please follow local guidance and posted warnings at all times.



🏡 Townhome — Best For / Not Ideal For

✅ Best For

• Families and multigenerational groups seeking space, privacy, and comfort
• Guests who appreciate a townhome-style layout with no neighbors above or below
• Travelers who enjoy indoor–outdoor living with multiple private lanais
• Longer stays, relaxed North Shore vacations, and remote work
• Guests who value a peaceful, residential setting surrounded by nature

⚠️ Not Ideal For

• Those needing full privacy for every sleeping area (the open den is best suited for children, teens, or flexible use)
• Guests with mobility limitations who prefer single-level homes (interior stairs are required)

If you prefer single-level interior living—or if your dates are already booked—we also host a nearby 3BR / 3BA condo in the same Nihilani community, offering step-free interior living and a slightly different layout.

Neighborhood highlights

Owners have travelled all around the world to many a beautiful destinations but Garden paradise is the one that stole our heart and we chose to buy our second home here. We live in beautiful Colorado among majestic Rocky mountains but when it comes time to relax and unwind our home in paradise is a true retreat. Our design tastes are a mix of classic and contemporary and you will find influences all over the home. We spend about 2-3 months at our house in paradise but can't be there as much as we like, so we are happy to share our place with other folks just looking to relax and enjoy and soak in the beauty of paradise.
We chose Kauai for it's beauty, waves and relaxed vibe. Kauai is beautiful all over but our heart was set on North shore because of unique climate and everything north shore offers (hiking,kayaking, snorkeling etc). Nihilani in princeville was a easy choice because it’s one of the newest condos complexes with all modern amenities and open layout with town home feeling more like a home and include a 2 car attached garage. The pool, spa and BBQ area is top notch and always kept meticulously clean. It's not a large complex, so it's often quiet and very peaceful at the pool, but also throughout the entire complex. The walking/bike paths are extensive and gorgeous throughout Princeville. You're a short walk to restaurants, golf, Queen's Bath, Hideaway's beach and surf break, and both the Westin and the St. Regis (great for a sunset cocktail). Our town home is ideally located within complex with a minute walk to pool/spa area but far enough to maintain tranquility. Due to unique location in complex our master lanai has peek of distance ocean views and we have distant views of Mountain from another lanai.
