Swimmable Oceanfront Home, Roof-Top Deck & Spa; WiFi, DishTV in Kapoho

OUTDOORS: Starting at the top of our home

Roof Top Deck, with Hot Tub: Talk about a view! There is a 270 degree ocean view--no kidding. There are also 2 chaise lounges, and 2 chairs with ottomans. The moon and sun both rise out of the ocean and this is a fantastic place to see that. With a clear night, the stars, and the Milky Way, are awe-inspiring. There's not too many places in the world where you can see stars so close to the horizon.

Lanai off the Great Room: This is your outdoor dining room. There is a large table and 6 comfortable, high-end, lanai chairs. There are also two chairs with ottomans for relaxing, reading, sipping a cocktail or a smoothie.

Downstairs Lanai: When the weather is really hot, there is a ground level lanai that is just perfect. The view is great and there's a picnic table.

INDOORS:

Great Room: This large room is used for many purposes. Comfortable Living Room, cozy Dining Room, extra Bedroom (double bed), TV, large Kitchen and a Bar. The vintage rattan furniture is just right for Hawaii.

Kitchen: The kitchen has top of the line hardware including applicances, faucets, sharp knives, stainless pots and pans. There is also a cappucino machine, french press, lots of tea strainers, blender, fresh fruit/vegetable juicer, toaster, mixing bowls, kitchen towels, flatware, serving pieces, cutting boards, even a pressure cooker.  And the bar area, with sink, works well as a serving buffet or a hang-out for the non-chef(s) to keep the chef(s) company. The whole area is very functional, and part of the great room, so nobody misses any of the fun happenings.

Master Bedroom: Large room with a pillow top Queen-sized bed, dresser, koa rocking chair for reading or relaxing, reading lamps and romantic indirect lighting. Did we mention the HUGE ocean view? This room is quite gorgeous, if we do say so ourselves.

Master Bath: Tropical gone fabulous. Shower with two shower-heads, bench, and an ocean view! There’s also an unbelievable piece of granite that makes the walls of the shower look like you are inside a really refreshing volcano. Of course there are towels, shampoo, conditioner, hand/body soap and a hair dryer.

Second Bedroom: Comfortable Queen-sized bed, closet with built in shelf for your luggage, reading lamp, nice chair, ceiling fan, and a big ocean view.

Second Bathroom: This bathroom is across the hall from the second bedroom, so it functions as the powder room as well. It has a tub/shower, with marble walls, another copper sink, and toilet all in a good-sized bathroom. Fluffy towels, shampoo, conditioner, hand/body soap, and a hair dryer make it all work well.

Office: Free Wi-Fi, two professional, comfortable, office chairs and a large (3' x 5') partner desk. If you have to do work while you are visiting, this is an inspiring spot--ocean views from all locations. There's also a door leading to the back deck, for an extra-spacious feeling.

Garage: This is where all the toys (2 bicycles, 2 boogie boards, 3 kayaks, 2 surf boards and 1 outrigger canoe) live.

Elevator: For lots of groceries or for someone who doesn't handle stairs well. Someone in a wheelchair would be fine here. However, if you truly need an accessible, ADA, home, please call for all the details.

More details about our home: Our home is built with top-quality materials and attention to every detail. It has stone decking, solid brass ship’s lighting fixtures, and plenty of ventilation-providing windows. The front door is big and beautiful -- 4 feet wide locally-milled eucalyptus with a stained-glass window panel depicting the fish found in the bay.  On the inside there is the same brass ship’s lighting, local hardwoods for the cabinets and floors (jacaranda, silky oak), granite, copper, and a beachy white-washed ceiling with indirect and direct lighting. It is friendly, comfortable, and ultimately luxurious.
