*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.

    Loved the location and beauty of this amazing home. Three families plus granddaughter had wonderful space, views, recreational equipment. The kitchen was completely outfitted which was great as the local restaurants were swamped. Lovely, lovely stay!

    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.

    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 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.

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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!
