Blue Hawaii House

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

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 Kauai’s 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 Presley‘s 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.

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.

Immaculate home. It was extremely warm when we checked in but we managed the air flow system since there was no Central AC. The additional fans helped

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

This is our second time staying at the Blue Hawaii house. The location is wonderful and the house is lovely. We walked all around the Princeville area from this perfect location.

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 – the house was dusty, windows were dirty, bugs were stuck in all the screens. 2) The "lanai" was unusable – 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.

The house was large and beautiful. They provided everything you need to enjoy your at the beach: chairs, towels, umbrellas, coolers, sand toys etc.

Beautiful and large home! Welcoming touches of candy, granola and coffee were so nice! We were late arriving so didn't have any groceries to start out with so it was fun to have a bit of Hawaii there. I felt like the price for the home is a fair price if it were a beachfront home. I booked it thinking it would be easy to access a beach and it was not. That is my fault. The lights were hard to figure out. Maybe they could be labeled. Overall a wonderful home with all you need for a great stay but overpriced in my opinion.

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!

The Blue Hawaii home is beautiful, spacious, and in a great location. We would definitely stay here again with a large group!

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.
