Peaceful in Princeville

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!

Great stay for two families

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.

Amazing

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.

AWESOME Stay!

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!

Great place to stay

This house was amazing and perfect for the amount of people we had with us. It was a wonderful place to stay for Christmas. It had just about everything we needed. If you have little toddlers (we had our 19 month old) then you might want to bring utensils. We couldn’t find any, but that was not a big deal. Chickens in the yard behind was fun too! Overall the property was pretty clean but could have probably gone for a serious deep clean of everything.

Beautiful home in Princeville, Kauai

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

It is located in Princeville which is about an hour away from the airport and most of the activities are closer to the airport. But, their location is much better if you want a more peaceful vacation. The house has beautiful views and located in a nice residential neighborhood.

Great stay in Princeville

The house was perfect for our needs. It was well equipped with all of the amenities. The garage was stocked with plenty of beach chairs, snorkeling gear and bicycles so we save money from not having to rent these items. Beautiful views of the ocean and for watch the sunset. Also close to the supermarket and beautiful beaches. Only issue we had was the upstairs shower was not usable until halfway through our stay but the property manager was able to get it fixed.

Great stay!

We had a great stay! The house was clean and was a nice respite after a long day exploring Kauai. We really enjoyed the view off the balcony and having our coffee there in the morning. The beds were all comfortable and we slept great. The garage was stocked with beach chairs, snorkeling equipment, boogie boards, a cooler, etc. Oh, and the outdoor shower was lovely after a day at the beach. It was nice rinsing off all the sand to keep from tracking it into the house. The property manager was great working through an issue we had and was very easy to get in contact with. We would definitely stay again!

Amazing views...beautiful home!

We loved staying in this very spacious home....had everything you could possibly need/want, truly felt like home! Waking up to those views every day was fabulous! Thames was very helpful and we loved checking out the cool beaches he told us about. He was also extremely accommodating when our plans were changed....can’t thank him enough! Aloha!

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 North Shore location!

This house was fantastic. It worked so well for our family. Loved the view of the ocean! Didn’t use the beach that was close due to the weather (high surf). Had everything we needed and then some. Thames was responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!

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.

A beautiful home in paradise!!

My family and I stayed here for 10 days and loved this beautiful home. The pictures of the property were true to the home with beautiful views of the ocean from each room! We saw rainbows every morning from the living room and lanai. The neighborhood is calm and peaceful, and Thames was a wonderful host who offered us recommendations on places to eat and swim (especially since we were there during winter, so his guidance was appreciated as the ocean can be dangerous at this time of year!) We thoroughly enjoyed our time together celebrating my mom's birthday and Christmas in this beautiful residence!

Fantastic vacation - quiet and private with views

Our family had a wonderful vacation in Princeville and Hanalei while staying at Home of the opening flower. The property sits at the end of a culdesac and backs up to open space with direct views of the ocean. We spent many evenings sitting on the deck watching the sunset and then gazing at the stars. My wife would wake up early and sit on the deck drinking her coffee, reading her book and listening to the birds. It was so quiet and peaceful and private. The house itself was comfortable with large, spacious rooms. The kitchen had everything needed to cook our meals and the grill was an added bonus. There were plenty of beach accessories and we spent every day at the beach either at Anini, Hanalei or Ke'e. Communication with the owner/property manager was direct and straight forward and we had no issues during our stay. We will definitely be back!

Great with a few exceptions

Construction next door started at about 7 every day. At least start after 8 to be considerate of visitors wishing we knew well in advance. There was really no trail to walk to the beach from the house. Thames was very nice and responsive to requests.

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!!

Solid stay

Location and view was great. Lovely to wake up to each morning. Nice neighborhood too. We had quite a bit of rain when we were there so couldn’t take advantage of the patio as often since it was not covered. Can’t control that but I would look for a place with a covered patio next time. FYI there is a very persistent rooster in the yard somewhere so bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. No complaints but just a warning!Was overall impressed with the quality of the kitchen gear. We’ve stayed at several places and this had some of the better supplies than we’ve seen…perfect, no, but I was happy with it since we cooked every day.Beach gear was great to have! Chairs, towels, snorkel, cooler, etc. Nice to not need to rent stuff!Beds were pretty comfortable but weird thing was there was no top sheet on the bed. There was one in the closet that we put on ourselves but I’d say this was kinda strange as I know most places don’t wash comforters every time…maybe they do there but regardless a top sheet should be standard.Also strange the lack of wash clothes. One bathroom had some but others did not and there also wasn’t anything to use in the kitchen so I ended up using a towel as a wash cloth.FYI does not come with basic toiletries (shampoo, conditioner). Not a big deal but stood out compared to others we’ve stayed at.I will probably look for a different place to stay on our next visit but wouldn’t be opposed to it either. Just be aware of the couple things I mentioned.
