VIEWS ARE MAGNIFICENT ! large redwood framed windows slide all the way back. Looking down you can see the surf washing up on shore. Watch the fishermen with their nets or bows and arrows catching their dinner. See the surfers catch the big waves from early morning to early evening. When the surf comes in it brings the turtles to feed on the rocks. You can see them pop their little heads up or see their flippers as they try to stabilize themselves to feed on the rocks. This scene is just below your window in the living room, dining room and kitchen at about 6 p.m. If you like to walk or jog in the mornings or evenings, outside the door is Alii Drive, where you will pass beaches, parks, and stop for an early morning swim . Later in the day the sun drenches the beaches with warmth, and it's time for another swim. We provide beach accessories: Mats, chairs, boogieboards, water shoes, coolers, wetsuits, and snorkel gear on request. We have lots of books on the island and adventures you can take on your own around the island. Or, you can just relax and watch the surf outside your window.
