Ralph Lauren and Tommy Bahama designed the
furniture for this upscale house. The style is an English Colonial
Plantation look to evoke the images of timeless island living.
We want you to be comfortable in elegant surroundings and yet
enjoy yourself with all the amenities of home.
A
Plasma TV screen is above the fireplace in the two story living
room to set a relaxing mood for entertainment with the latest
in technology. In addition to the cable TV, you also have a
DVD player and a library of DVD’s to choose from.
Wireless
Internet Access is free throughout the house and yard. There
is also wired internet access in the upstairs study that overlooks
the blue Pacific. The view will help you compose email or letters
while seated at the bamboo desk. It’s very relaxing to
watch the ocean from here. Though my favorite view is of the
Na Pali mountains and the peak called Bali Hai. So named because
of the movie South Pacific.
Printer
/ fax / copy machine combination is in the study. Paper is provided
so you can even print out your boarding pass and avoid the lines
at the airport.
Sunsets are on the ocean in the summer. Whereas in the “winter”
months, the sun moves to set on the mountains of the Na Pali
coast.
Bicycles are supplied, if you feel like traveling around. They
are a semi-mountain bike style with upright seating known as
“comfort bikes.” The Princeville area is level;
which makes for relaxed easy riding. You can just jump on anytime
you feel like it to ride down the street or to use the bike
paths to go to the store or to the Princeville Hotel. You can
also ride to foot paths and hike down to the ocean. The ocean
vistas are magnificent along the way.
Golf clubs and bags are also provided; as you are a block from
one of the three courses. The golf bags are in an upright stand
in the two car garage. Tees and balls are included.
Snorkeling
gear is also provided for the adventuresome. The masks, fins,
and snorkels are in individual mesh bags that you can tote to
the beach. There are six sets and they come in small, medium,
and large.
After a day of fun, you can cook on the large stainless steel
gas grill. The new grill has three burners, a rotisserie, and
a side burner. The backyard is large and level, surrounded by
hedges for privacy. But not too tall to block your view of the
Na Pali mountains. You can see the main waterfall from here.
While the food is cooking, you can sit on the back porch (lanai)
and watch the birds play in the yard or the frogs in the Koi
pond. They both provide hours of low key entertainment. There
is also a coconut tree, an avocado tree, as well as a large
hibiscus and plumeria flowering trees. There are always flowers
blooming in the backyard.
From the kitchen, you can watch the waterfall cascading down
the mountain face after a rain. It’s certainly my favorite
way to start the day.
