Located on a quiet cul-de-sac, this magnificent, custom home was built in 2008 by a contractor for his personal residence. Attention to detail is evident throughout, with use of the finest flooring, fixtures, and molding. The house is located on Kaikio Ewa Place, a street named for one of Kauaiâs governors who was known throughout the island for having the finest home of his day.
We have chosen to name our house Blue Hawaii House in honor of Elvis Presleyâs love for the island of Kauai and his most famous Hawaiian movie which was filmed on our island. A memento to the King of Rock hangs in our great room.
As one enters the large double doors, a wooden inlay of a pineapple welcomes you into the house. The flooring throughout is Tuscan travertine and hardwood. A large dining room with seating for eight is located to the right of the foyer and the great room is located straight ahead. The great room has high 20-foot ceilings, a large screen TV, a breakfast bar, and is furnished with the finest sea grass style plantation furniture. Beyond the living room is the fully equipped gourmet kitchen, complete with an instant hot water dispenser, island, gas cook-top, pot filler, and double ovens. There is also an informal dining area that seats eight. Behind the kitchen is an office. A laundry room, a bar with a wine refrigerator, and a den with two futon couches are also located on the first floor. Adjacent to the den is a full bathroom and a master bedroom suite complete with a full bathroom, shower, and Jacuzzi tub.
Two of the bedrooms have their own sinks but share a common bathtub/shower and toilet. One of the bedrooms has a screened lanai.
On the first floor, we have a large, covered and screened lanai accessible from the master bedroom, great room, and kitchen with two doors leading to the backyard. Inside, our garden furniture includes a large round table with four chairs, a loveseat with a coffee table, and two chairs with footrests. The oversized backyard also has a hot-and-cold shower built against a wall of lava rock and a barbecue located in a covered shelter with countertops along the sides.
Behind the backyard is a walkway which runs along the perimeter of a large park. Beyond the park is a public library and the Princeville Shopping Mall, which includes restaurants, a grocery store, and convenience stores - all only a three-minute walk from the house. We are only a 10-minute walk to the pathway to Anini Beach.
We have installed free WiFi and an Island QuietCool Cooling System, consisting of four large fans upstairs which expel hot air from the attic and produce a breeze pulling in cool air from outside. We have also upgraded our lighting in the house to be exclusively LED.
This home offers a myriad of entertainment amenities: -70' flatscreen tv with surround sound (living room) -Various DVDs -Enclosed lanai -Wine fridge -Private hot tub -Island Cooling System: Blue Hawaii House features an eco-friendly island cooling system. Utilizing much less energy than conventional air-conditioning, the system takes advantage of the prevailing island tradewinds. Four large turbines in the attic area serve to circulate the air in the house every three minutes by pulling in cool air from open windows downstairs and expelling the warm air near the ceiling and in the attic. The controls for the four turbines are located upstairs. Two are in the upstairs hallway, one is in the second bedroom, and one is in the third bedroom. The buttons for speed and length of time are on the control panels. Remember to leave some windows at least partially opened downstairs when using the cooling system.

Was a great stay very comfortableâŠonly critical observation was toomany essential items were inaccessible due to being locked upâŠthis would include plates and glasses etc âŠa basic broom and dust bin for daily cleaning
We had a wonderful time at this house! Great location, well-stocked, clean, and very accommodating. We had some electrical issues which were partially addressed. Hopefully they can get those sorted out before the next visitors. But even with those, I would have no issue staying here again. Quiet neighborhood (minus the chickens ), well-kept, beautiful home. We made great use of the beach chairs, beach wagons, coolers, bikes, and umbrellas. They had everything we needed and more!
The perfect home for our Christmas Vacation. The location is perfect, walking distance to the local grocery store, eateries, souvenir shops. We would definitely return to this rental.
Great Place does not book often, as multiple bathrooms have plumbing issues. There were enough bathrooms that we had workarounds, but still. The hot tub cover also looked like it had seen better days, and the yard could have used maintenance, as it seemed like no one had picked up palm fronds that month. Great place, just needed a little tlc
Overall: the house's location is great, the home is spacious and modern, and is mostly as pictured, with the exception of three things:
1) It could use a deep clean â the house was dusty, windows were dirty, bugs were stuck in all the screens.
2) The "lanai" was unusable â it was dark (literally because the lights don't work) and inhospitable (the furniture is sparse and old). Even in beautiful Kauai, we never used the Lanai once.
3) I recognize this is a problem throughout Hawaii, but the large family of roosters on the left-hand side of the house were a nightmare. Especially in the downstairs master bedroom, there were about 5 roosters just feet away from the windows that started crowing at 2AM and continued every 5-10 minutes until about 7AM. The entire house slept terribly, and slept with headphones.
This property fit us to a tee. There was room for our group of 10 to spread out and space for us to gather and eat together. We appreciated the boogie boards, snorkel equipment and bikes provided. We contacted vacasa with a question and received an answer in record time. Impressive!
Nice property in a nice neighborhood.
On arrival the wi-Fi and entertainment system as well as a portable air conditioning unit did not work(no power) we searched for a circuit breaker panel none found. Called property manager ad they sent someone out. Breaker panel was located in a locked room. ( should be accessible for safety)
Exhaust fan in Jack and Jill bathroom did not work.
Several windows lift springs were broken and windows propped open with the broken parts. (Child safety concern) Patio chair had missing screw from seat allowing side to separate and seat bottom to fall causing laceration to leg.
Smoke alarm was going off with no smoke present.
Called management company. Removed alarm from ceiling and took apart to find corroded battery. No one came until next day to replace defective alarm.
Refrigerator/freezer: placed kids popsicles in freezer, next morning they were melted. Along with bag of ice. Temp of freezer did not keep things frozen. Kitchen Granite counter top broken behind sink. Garbage disposal switch cover comes off. Pull cords were noted and tangled in dining room. No safety anchors in place to keep cords kid safe. No vacuum cleaner available. No mop for floor cleanup available either.
This house is amazing! We enjoyed it fully.
The only description that is not accurate is that itâs walking distance to Anini beach.
We would definitely look for this house availability when we return to Kauai, hopefully next year.
If we could give it 6 stars we would! We had a delightful experience. The staff was very helpful in supplying us extra blankets and such. It had lots of room for eating, games, and chatting for our large group. When we come back, we will for sure be using this property again!! Thanks
The property is located in a quiet neighborhood except for the chickens that crow at 2am every morning. We booked a month in advance and was told a day or two before our arrival that the dryer was broken. We reused damp beach towels everyday. The home is large and roomy and it suited our weekend work retreat however many of the screens were dirty and several even broken allowing the mosquitos in. The bathroom fixtures did not operate properly in one bathroom and we were going to just overlook these things until the front door lock broke within the first day. When we called the property manager, she arrived promptly and so did the repairman. The yard men also arrived all in the middle of our meeting with loud leaf blowers. The repairman used his speaker while he spoke on the phone that further interrupted our meeting. We had to leave the house unsecured as we went about our day and overnight until the locksmith arrived the following day. We used the dining room furniture to block and secure the front door from the inside so we could sleep. I have never left a poor review like this because I think Iâm pretty tolerant however feel that for the amount of money that we paid it should have been in better condition, better managed and our concerns taken more seriously.
The home was very clean and well appointed, comfortable for our party of nine. It was in better maintained condition than any that we have stayed at in the past. The TV packages were great ( we liked catching the early sports games). The only small downside was the local island roosters that kept earlier hours than us. Overall, the home was perfect and we enjoyed our stay immensely.
We recently returned from an extended family vacation in Kauai. While we enjoyed the many sights of Kauai, we used this home as our base in Princeville. Check-in was effortless and the home fit all 11 of us very comfortably. Just a few things mentioned in the spirit of improving some of the amenities of the home... the dishwasher is a double door unit that operates independently. We found it a bit clumsy and the quality of the wash was poor. The home mentions being air conditioned and yes, there is a portable unit the size of a suitcase in the main room. Maybe that's that's how they roll in Kauai but it seemed a bit of a stretch to call that air conditioning. Fortunately the nights were comfortable as the air flow in the house was good through open upper windows. Get ready for constant wild rooster crowing, they seem to start at dawn and crow all day long. The only real glitch was there were insufficient bed linens for all of us the first night. While the problem was rectified, it took several calls to the property managers (and two separate drops to the house to get it right). They did give us a small monetary consideration for our trouble. This is a nice property. The comments above did not adversely impact our overall positive experience.
Loved the property. Perfect for our family needs for a wedding in the Princeville area. I would rent this house again. Fabulous, peaceful & convenient.
House is comfortable, great condition, good location!
The house was really nice, comfortable and clean and in a great location in Princeville close to the stores and shopping area, we were even able to walk down to the water one day!
Amazing Home, well decorated and super comfortable for our big family!
Very clean, and the online pictures donât do it justice⊠itâs an amazing property. My family is a spoiled SoCal group that was whining a bit at first about not having A/C, but after settling in and using the Island Cool system we adapted quickly to the weather and never missed having A/C again! We will be staying here again for sure! Steve, the owner, and Lea, the manager, were always available and did all they could to make our stay as enjoyable as possible.
This is a fantastic property - perfect for three generations to enjoy together!
The house is beautiful, very spacious and in a wonderful location. The bedrooms are lovely and quite comfortable. The bathrooms are amazing. There are plenty of lovely linens. We spent a lot of time in the living room and loved that there were two beautiful dining areas where the nine of us could enjoy meals together. We did a lot of cooking together. The kitchen is well laid out and easy for team work meal making. The barbecue was great for grilling fish! It is a short easy walk to a lovely shopping center with a good grocery store, several restaurants, and some fun shops. We all walked to Wylie's beach, Hideaways, Turtle Cave, and Anini Beach, during our stay. We were very sad to have to leave the Blue Hawaii House and head back to reality!
