E KOMO MAI to the House of Beautiful Breezes.
SWANKY TIKI is the Kauai North Shore vacation home you have been dreaming about.
Feel the beautiful breezes, scented with tropical flowers, throughout the house the minute you walk through the front door.
Experience island style living in the spacious three bedroom, two story custom built Hawaiian home. SWANKY TIKI abounds with an idyllic Garden Island flair and is nestled on a peaceful ocean bluff street in the heart of a rare Albatross nesting ground. It is in one of the most desirable areas in all of Princeville. You are minutes away from shopping, golf, and gorgeous world-famous North Shore beaches. A secluded semi private snorkel beach is only a ten-minute walk from our home and is a great spot for whale watching too! .....

The second story is an open living, dining, kitchen, and nook space that includes a guest bath and two ocean breeze lanais. From there, enjoy the sun setting into the Pacific Ocean alongside our vista of famed Bali Hai Mountain at the northern edge of the Na Pali Coast. And just after every rain, enjoy the sight of waterfalls cascading down the Hanalei Mountain Range, no doubt framed by one, two, or even three rainbows! At the same time, you might be dining or enjoying a Mai Tai while swaying in the hammock, listening to the beautiful songs of our native Hawaiian birds and the heavenly sound of the ocean waves. In the evenings, a cloudless sky will offer stargazing more crystal clear than just about anywhere stateside......

The fully stocked cook's kitchen, a foodie’s delight, has a complete pantry with spices, olive oil, and every utensil you might need to make a delicious feast. Try grilling pineapple with local catch on the dining lanai’s outdoor barbecue. Organic vegetables and fruits, along with local artisan breads, cheeses, and prepared foods can be had at the many farmer’s markets nearby......

There are ceiling fans in all the rooms and trade wind island breezes flow throughout. SWANKY TIKI boasts vaulted wood and white beam high ceilings and Brazilian cherry hardwood floors, with charming Hawaiian style furnishings and Native objects and artwork collected over some 20 years. Personal touches include high end linens and home accessories, custom goat milk soaps, live indoor plants and flowers, baskets of shells and much more. Upstairs, the many windows and glass doors with the light filled, spacious, and airy floor plan make for a festive and comfortable gathering space for Ohana and friends or a romantic getaway for two. Downstairs, there are three extra-roomy private master size bedrooms, all with ensuite full baths. Relax in a multi-purpose open area off the front entrance that can be used as a lounge area, office, or a mediation space......
