| 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 DVDs 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. Its 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. Its certainly my favorite way to start the day. |
