Step back into the ambience of vintage Hawaii in this delightfully appointed classic plantation style cottage at Kukui’ula. The unique red metal roof inspired the rich, bold color scheme of crimson, raffia & indigo blue, to unify the interior and exterior of the home. Interior & lanai decor was artfully selected for maximum function, while evoking the mood of Old Hawaii. Charming vintage references throughout, such as the locally hand-made woven palm hats that hang in the entry, traditional Palaka plaid dinner napkins on the lanai table setting, island motif fabrics, whimsical lamps, original art by Steve Neill, and a touch of humor in vintage travel posters and prints, combine to give a cheerful, homey appeal to families and a wide range of prospective homebuyers. The addition of a large bubbler fountain and beautiful red anthurium plants near the entry immediately set the relaxing, welcoming tone of this truly unique, one of a kind residence.

Open, white foyer featuring unique hall chest with carved palm fronds. The mirror can hang vertically or horizontally; its frame features leather-wrapped bamboo carvings. Blue and White accent chair and vase add sophistication, while two palm fronds give a pop of color.
