Spectacular, exhilarating OCEAN VIEWS, throughout open-plan home, from both inside and out, including, from all these areas: the entry hall, the kitchen, dining room, 20-ft tall great room, and from three of the four bedrooms, plus from the lanai's and from the back yard and side yards.
The fourth bedroom overlooks a TRANQUIL GARDEN with water-lily pots, and the front yard, situated on a cul-de-sac.
The home has AIR CONDITIONING and HEAT (and dehumidifier), accommodating furnishings, appliances, 3 bathrooms, kitchen-ware, bedding, linens, Haiku ceiling fans, gas BQ grill, and outdoor heated shower.
Broadband wifi throughout.
Cable TV (3 HDTV's).
Home of the Opening Flower has five bicycles for riding to the Princeville shopping center for supplies or treats, or to nearby beach access locations, or along the Princeville area golf courses, or local Princeville restaurants or pop-up produce markets.
And for beach enjoyment, there is an ample supply of beach gear, including chairs, towels, canopies, coolers, snorkel gear and boogie boards.
BEDROOM #1, the largest room, master bedroom, has an en suite bathroom, a Cal-king bed, end tables, large armchair recliner, chaise lounge, large desk with comfy office chair, a dresser, HDTV, and spectacular ocean views from throughout the room.
BEDROOM #2, a second master bedroom, which is the only upstairs area in the home, has an en suite bathroom, a Cal-king bed, a dresser, chair, HDTV, private lanai/balcony, great ocean views and a mountain view.
BEDROOM #3, has an Eastern-king bed, end tables, small desk with comfy chair, and opens to the main floor lanai, with vivid ocean views from inside throughout the room, and from the adjoining lanai.
BEDROOM #4, has an Eastern-king bed, end tables, chair, and overlooks a tranquil garden with water-lily pots. In lieu of a dresser, a portion of the closet has convenient shelving.
Bedrooms #3 and #4 share a hall bathroom.
All of the bedrooms have well-accommodating tiled closets, and are equipped with luggage rack(s).
The laundry hall has, in addition to a large washer and dryer, a handy, tidy. folding / hanging, and bin area.
The great room (Living area) is equipped with a full-motion curved 65" 4K smart TV with DVR, and a variety of board games.
The ocean breezes and Haiku ceiling fans throughout, keep the home fresh and airy.
Air conditioning / heating was recently installed. Separate (split-system AC/heat) units are mounted to the upper wall in each of the bedrooms, and in the living area. These units are individually controlled. Thus, you can select your preference of whether or not to utilize air conditioning or heat within each particular room, and can individually select the desired temperature setting, for each room. In addition to their cooling benefit, these A/C units also have a heat setting, for warmth and comfort on those occasionally cooler days or nights when the air temperature dips; ,and a dry setting to simply reduce humidity.
*In case you are considering ACCESSIBILITY* for any persons in your group, the entry level, Level 1, may be suitable for your requirements. These are the levels / layout of Home of the Opening Flower:
LEVEL 1. The driveway, the sidewalk leading to the house, and the front porch area, as well as front lawn, are all at ground level. There is a small step-up totaling about 2 or 3 inches, from the ground level front porch, thru the front door of the home, into the entry hall. The front entry hall, kitchen and dining areas, and Bedroom #4 - which overlooks the front gardens and yard, plus the hall bathroom, are all on the same entry level. The shower in the hall bathroom has a built-in corner bench (as do the other bathrooms). The step-over from hall bathroom floor, into the shower, is about six inches. The entry hall, and all of the areas that adjoin it, except for the fourth bedroom, do have an ocean view. Presently, dining chairs and a bench are situated on the entry level. One or more larger, comfortable chairs could easily be set on the entry level to accommodate anyone in your group who would require or prefer avoiding stairs, and they would not feel isolated from the rest of your group. The television in the living / great room is well visible from the dining area, and rotatable. The kitchen, front entry hall and front porch, have a cheerful, expansive view of front gardens and yard.
LEVEL 2. The large ocean-view living / great room, main-level lanai, main-level ocean-view bedroom, and main-level ocean-view master bedroom and ensuite master bathroom, and the laundry hall, are about three steps down from the entry hall and its adjoining areas.
The garage is about two steps down from a garage entry hallway near the dining area.
LEVEL 3. The upstairs ocean-view bedroom and its ensuite bathroom, and lanai, are the only upstairs areas.
All of the living areas (entry hall, kitchen, dining, great room), as well as three of the bedrooms, have superb ocean and greenery and skyward views.
The fourth bedroom has a view of the front garden and yard. From every area of the home, and in all directions, your gaze takes in continually varying colors and abundant rainbows.
The home is on a bluff, set back from, and overlooking the ocean, on a large private property, especially broadening toward the back, with ample front, back and side yards, and is adjacent to an extensive green space which leads to a stream.
The colors of the water, sky, and land are truly uplifting and inspiring. In their migratory seasons, you can see whales spout, breach, and teach their young, and Laysan Albatross birds as they visit their nesting grounds.
Home of the Opening Flower (Hale Makalapua; Blossom Forth) is situated on a cul de sac, in a lovely, very walkable and bike-able residential neighborhood, within the resort community of Princeville, with amenities nearby; a pleasant spot to discover and enjoy the beauty, serenity, vitality, and aloha of Kauai.
A 10 minute stroll from the property takes you to a trail leading to a secluded beach.
Whether you are planning on recreation, exploration, inspiration, rest, renewal, celebrating a special occasion or a gathering, or working, we wish you an uplifting stay.
Home of the OPENING FLOWER had previously been owner-occupied. When the present homeowners acquired it some years ago, they had hoped to retire here from the mainland. But as circumstances changed, and they are now more needed on the mainland, it came about that it would be fitting for Home of the OPENING FLOWER to serve as a vacation rental, and so now, an over-and-above, enthusiastic, professional team with exemplary standards, comprised of property management / host, housekeeping, landscape design / detailers, design/enhancement dreamers/envisioners/implementers, is working on your behalf, dedicated with aloha, love and care, mindful of your comfort, care, ease, joy, to welcome you for an excellent stay.

Family getaway in Paradise
We loved spending this past week in this BEAUTIFUL home in Princeville!! The house is even better than some of the pictures! The kitchen was very well stocked. We loved enjoying family meals at the large dining room table as well as on the lovely lanai! The ocean view from the lanai was stunning! We loved the beautiful landscaping of the yard as well. The bedrooms were very comfortable and we made ourselves at home! I loved waking up in the morning and looking out the window at the ocean! The full washer and dryer were a great asset after beach and hiking days! (as was the outside warm shower!) They had a great assortment of bikes, boogie boards, snorkle gear, beach chairs, beach towels and shade beach canapies in the garage for our use! Thames was very responsive to our questions and shared his recommendations for north shore activities! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!! We had an unforgetable trip with our family! We would love to stay there again!!

Such a great house!
I live on Kauai and when family comes, we usually rent a house for part of their time here. I’ve stayed in many vacation rentals on Kauai and this one is great. Great location, big and spacious, very well stocked and beautiful views! Love this place and will definitely try and rent again.

Family Vacation
This was a great place to stay for our family of 8. It was a great location, great house and it matched the description of the property. The beds were very comfortable and everything was clean. Great views of the ocean. The neighborhood was very quiet. We had access to beach chairs and bikes. The kitchen was well stocked. The communication with the property managers was quick on questions. Each member of our family enjoyed this home.

Excellent vacation rental
We had an excellent holiday due to our stay at Hale Makalapua. The house was in a great location for walks to the beach, enjoying views of the ocean where we could see what’s from the deck and the Kauai’s verdant landscape. The neighborhood was quiet and just a short drive for groceries and eating out. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen well equipped for actually (!!) cooking meals. It felt very much like the owners actually use the home themselves, and as such it’s stocked with quality items- towels, glassware, snorkel gear, bikes etc. This was one of the best rentals we’ve had in a long time. The property managers were very responsive to questions and requests.
