A Peaceful Townhome Retreat
Pua Lanai reflects what we love most about this homeâeasy outdoor living, open space, and a calm North Shore rhythm. The townhome-style layout offers a relaxed, residential feel, with living and sleeping areas thoughtfully arranged across two levels. This design works especially well for families, giving kids room to spread out while making it easy for everyone to gather together during the day and enjoy quiet, comfortable evenings. Itâs a welcoming, family-friendly place to slow down and feel at home.
Main Level Living
The main level features an expansive open-concept living, dining, and kitchen space, along with a convenient powder room. Large sliding doors create an easy indoorâoutdoor flow, making the space ideal for shared meals, relaxed mornings, and unhurried time together.
Outdoor Oasis
The wraparound garden lanai is surrounded by lush tropical landscaping and is a favorite spot for morning coffee, relaxed lunches, and quiet evenings. It offers a peaceful setting to slow down and enjoy the rhythm of the North Shore.
Seamless Entry
Secure, touch-keypad entry allows for easy, contactless arrival. The attached two-car garage is accessed via a secure code, with a remote opener provided inside for your convenience during your stay.
Gourmet Kitchen & Dining
The fully equipped chefâs kitchen is designed for social gatherings and effortless meal prep.
Premium Coffee
Start your mornings with a perfect cup from the Jura super-automatic espresso machine.
High-End Finishes
Granite countertops, a central island with bar seating, and a full suite of modern appliances.
Fully Stocked
We regularly cook here ourselves, so the kitchen is thoughtfully stocked with premium cookware, dinnerware, and a generous starter supply of high-quality essentials.
The adjacent formal dining area seats six comfortably for shared island meals and memorable evenings.
Bedrooms, Den & Flexible Layout
The upper level houses three serene bedrooms, a flexible open den, and a full laundry room. All sleeping spaces are designed for comfort with whisper-quiet central air conditioning (included), ceiling fans, and eco-friendly flooring.

Flexible Open Den

Garage, Gear & Family Essentials
Guests enjoy exclusive use of a secure, covered two-car garage, which comfortably fits two mid-size SUVs.
Larger Vehicles
If your vehicle does not fit comfortably in the garage, please let us know before or after check-in. Weâre happy to arrange an overnight guest parking pass for nearby designated guest parking.

Safety & Local Terrain Awareness
Princeville sits atop scenic coastal bluffs, which is part of what makes the area so beautiful. Many nearby beaches and viewpoints are accessed via descending trails and climbing back up. These paths may include steep sections, uneven footing, and muddy conditions after rain.
Some secluded beaches do not have lifeguards. Guests should use caution, wear appropriate footwear, supervise children closely, and assess ocean and trail conditions carefully before exploring.
