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.

Beautiful home with fabulous views. Great location. Excellent communication with the host. Home was very well stocked with beach chairs, umbrellas, towels and snorkel gear. We were a group of 8 ranging from teens to 80 years old and everyone loved it.
A beautiful view of the ocean. It was nice to come home to an air conditioned home after a busy day exploring Kauai. Everything was there that we needed and in working order. Family of 5 with all of the kids having their own bedroom was great!
Great house for our family vacation. Plenty of room, with a well-stocked kitchen and one of the best selections of beach gear we have seen in a rental.
Great space for time with friends and family. We loved the big common area, well appointed kitchen, garage full of amenities, and comfortable beds. Oh and of course the exceptional view! This was a wonderful location for taking in the north side of Kauai. And comfortable for evenings at home after busy days out and about.
This home has a fantastic location and beautiful views. It’s stocked with everything you could want for a day at the beach - chairs, umbrellas, snorkeling gear, boogie boards and bicycles. It was the perfect launch point for all of our activities and such a comfortable place to return to each night to enjoy the stunning scenery.
This house was great for our family vacation! The house has everything we needed and more! Great view and close to shops in Princeville. Kitchen is very well equipped and lots of beach gear the owner allows you to use. Overall a wonderful time!
Beautiful home with 4 large bedrooms so no crowding when the whole family comes! Kitchen was FULLY stocked with everything you could possibly need. Beach gear was overflowing with options, many chairs, 2 canopies, 6 bikes and helmets, boogie boards, games and puzzles in case of a rainy day inside.Only drawback was internet was a little slow, but who goes to paradise to play on the internet?
Fabulous location! Beautiful views from the house. Great set up for 8 adults/ plenty of space, bedrooms and bathrooms. Had a wonderful time- would stay again.
We came for a week of fun and bonding with family and friends. Spent most of our time on the lanai watching whales and rainbows. Loved our time at the house and will be back!
The property/house was perfect! Everything you need for your stay is on the property/house. If we ever have a larger group traveling with us again this property would be my first choice. Thank you so much for making our vacation a special one it was top notch!
The house was exactly as described and everything was perfect. It is in a great location, was very clean, had a garage full of bikes and beach equipment and the view out the back is mesmerizing. We had a great stay and Thames was very helpful.
This home was perfect for our family. It was well stocked with all the supplies we needed. The view was amazing - we enjoyed the early morning & sunset views of the ocean. Looking forward to staying there the next time we come to Kauai
Lots of room to spread out for our two families. Wonderful views. We brought our own snorkel gear but were excited to have extra gear. We also used the boogie boards and beach chairs every day. The bikes were a bit meh - hard to pedal. Bring your own bath soap and shampoo/conditioner. All in all a relaxing stay and we would return.
We had 8 guests as our family stayed, and the property was just perfect. We had two rentalCars that fit easily in the driveway without using the garage- which was nice because the garage was fully stocked with all our day trip needs. Snorkeling gear, boogie boards, camp chairs and even a cooler gave us so many options. Windows along the back of the house over look the side of the gorgeous bay of Sealodge beach. There were helpful maps and guide books around and even binoculars to keep your eye out for anything interesting in the ocean.Beds were all comfortable and we were so glad to find a house to accommodate 4 couples. We had to reach out to the owner and he replied nicely, even stopping by on our last day to make sure we had all our questions answered. It was a lovely stay.
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.
Long-time fan of Princeville and found this awesome home! We loved this home and the ability to spread out or hang out together in the living room. We would surely return!
Oh my goodness - the photos don't do this property justice. It is heavenly! Views are amazing, plenty of room for everyone, comfortable beds, and well stocked - we had everything we needed and more! Loved it!
