Oceanfront Luxury Penthouse Condo w/AC in north shore’s premier property
Princeville, Kauai is a lush paradise that blends natural beauty with laid-back luxury. Our guests can view the dramatic coastline from our lanais and pool, snorkel at our Hideaways beach reefs teeming with marine life, or stroll through the Princeville Botanical Gardens for a sensory journey of tropical fruits and chocolate tastings. For breathtaking views, Hanalei Valley Lookout and Hanalei Bay Lookout offer sweeping panoramas of emerald hills and shimmering waters. When hunger strikes, local favorites like Happy Talk Lounge serve up burgers and bay views, while Nourish Hanalei offers health-conscious bowls in a serene setting. Princeville and nearby Hanalei host many excellent restaurants. Golf enthusiasts can tee off at the Princeville Makai Golf Course, which offers stunning ocean vistas, and enjoy a burger and Maitais at the course clubhouse. Pu’u Po’a 406 is a place where every moment feels like a postcard.
Then, enter through the two teak and carved-glass doors to the first of our two lanais and breathtaking views of the mighty Pacific. From the atrium entry of PUU POA 406, the tropical decor of our newly decorated and furnished family room beckons to a larger second lanai with upscale gas grill and gorgeous sunset views from our famous Hideaways Beach to Bali Hai.
Open wide the sliding glass doors of the master bedroom and sleep to the lullaby of crashing waves. From the moment you arrive, to your final swim in our heated, bluff-edge pool, your unforgettable stay in our expansively equipped, air conditioned, penthouse condo will be one of luxury, peacefulness and romance. Welcome to Meli Makai - OceansSong at Pu'u Po'a - Kauai's premier condominium complex!
This luxurious two bedroom, two bath penthouse unit is one-of-a-kind. The main bedroom of this spacious, 1500 square foot condominium (2200 square foot including the two large lanais), is en-suite with large bathroom, with romantic 'his and her' twin showers, and a relaxing Oriental-style soaking tub. The second bedroom, which has a great view of the mountains and waterfalls, has a queen-size bed. Both the master and the guest bedroom beds have plush, custom-made Island Dreams pillow-top mattresses. Both bedrooms and the family/dining areas have air conditioning with separate controls. (Note though, because of our remote island location and shortage of trained labor it may take some time to have the system repaired in the event of a problem).
Located on the top floor of prestigious PU'U PO'A, this end unit has spectacular views of the reefs and surf from its two lanais (see pictures), from the main bedroom, and living room, and from the kitchen and dining room.
Elegantly refurnished and redecorated, all of the appliances are new and the kitchen is completely outfitted with microwave, stove, oven, blender, etc. There is also a new washer and dryer. The large family room has cathedral ceilings, smart TV, and high-speed fiber internet access for your devices. There is a second smart TV in the main bedroom.
In a quiet, end-of-the-road setting, PU'U PO'A is a solid concrete building, with magnificently maintained tropical gardens, and a beautiful bluff-edge, heated pool and a combined tennis court/pickleball court on the property. Because of its top-floor location and concrete construction, there is little noise from neighboring units. Our holiday home is a cliff-edge unit with magnificent close-up views of whales, surfers, and sunset views of Bali Hai.
The complex is right above and a short path from a secluded beach called 'Hide-Away's' which has exceptional snorkeling over shallow, bountiful reefs (see pictures). PU'U PO'A Beach is just a three minute walk from our condominium in front of the One Hanalei Bay hotel. One Hanalei Bay has many amenities including a spa for pampering. Winter brings the whales into your panoramic views of the ocean and the high surf attracts world class surfer 'dudes' daily. Princeville is renowned for its beautiful golf courses and nearby rustic Hanalei has great dining and shopping.
**ENHANCED COVID CLEANING PROTOCOL. Our property managers have instituted an enhanced cleaning protocol. The condo is deep cleaned; all bedding and towels are laundered in professional grade washers; all surfaces, appliances, and handles cleaned; and all surfaces, appliance controls, handles are sanitized with disinfecting spray. **
Relax to the sounds of the surf and enjoy a romantic sunset with panoramic views of Bali Hai from our two lanais.

We had a awesome time, the views are incredible. The pool is right on the ocean, with resort style furniture in the house and at the pool, very quiet. Having the top floor is great for privacy in the morning for coffee, Also great for sunsets of Bali Hai from the lanai. The only thing missing was some basic board games, that's it!We are planning our next trip here.AC works great. Ken & Jan TroemelLake Bluff, IL

The view is Stellar and the condo is nicely appointed. We stayed at the Condo during winter time. Unfortunately it rained a lot. So much that the dining area flooded. It is difficult for the owners to get skilled labor in to repair several places in the condo. The short walk to the beach is very steep and after rain it can be dangerous though we saw many surfers using it. The fact that there is no elevator should be mentioned at the front of the condo description. We are all in our 70’s and going up and down the stairs with luggage, groceries and beach chairs etc. was very difficult. The location is close to Hanalei which we loved as long as the one way bridge is open. It did close several times due to flooding. If we had been there during summer our trip would have been much different.

We had a fantastic time staying at Noel and Erica’s Pua Poa condo. It’s steps (a bit steep, but not too difficult to navigate) from a beautiful, private beach with a coral reef for snorkeling. Others surfed further out where the waves break. The condo and its location were perfect. We would love to stay again.

Perfect Stay
We loved our stay. The condo had everything you could need or want with the most perfect views. This was our first trip to Kauai, perfect location to do all the things in the north shore / Hanalei area. Hideaway beach trail is a few steps away from the condo. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again if we are so lucky to come back.

Beautiful Escape
We were so glad we ended up selecting this location on the North Shore, the condo was just as described. The lanais were the best part. We had everything we needed for the the entirety of our trip (didn’t need to go buy more toilet paper, etc). The communications coming from both the owner and the rental company led to a little confusion. With all the VRBOs I’ve stayed in before, all the info I needed was within the VrBO app. I had to hunt through old emails to find checkout info for this stay. That was my only negative point.

Phenomenal view!
The condo overlooked Hideaways Beach with a sweeping view west to the Napoli Coast. Our group of 2 couples enjoyed the view and waves so much, we only went out for dinner once in 4 evenings. The condo was clean and the kitchen was well supplied. The large master bedroom shower was a real plus. A great visit!

Spectacular Views!
This was an amazing space. Condo was perfect and equipped nicely. We enjoyed the view from the lanai, saw whales and omg, the stars at night! Only thing we thought was a bit much was the constant landscaping noise in the daytime hours. Maybe management could limit to a few days instead of almost daily. Once you tuned it out, it sure was great! Princeville is an amazing area. We loved the scenery all around and enjoyed delicious meals. Our davorite was Happy Talk. Great food and service.

We had a fantastic stay in this unit. It’s so nice to be on the top floor and end of the building to have privacy. The views from our deck were incredible, including whale sightings. We enjoyed dining at the resort next door and playing golf at the Makai course in the neighborhood. We never needed to use the air conditioning given the moderate temperatures and breezes - so nice to hear the waves in bed! Thank you!

We stayed in this condo last year and loved it just as much this year! The views are spectacular and the setting so peaceful and lovely. The condo has everything you would need and is spacious.
It was such a relaxing week watching sunsets from the lanai and going to the beaches. We will be back for sure and are sad to leave! The condo management have been great!🌈🏖️🐳☀️
