You can watch the lights from passing cruise ships at night from the lanai. You can take a short 15 minute walk to Champagne Pond or ride our bicycles to Champagne Pond or other ocean access areas to snorkel and swim with honu (seaturtles). Outside in a gazebo near the house is a full-featured spa for your relaxation and enjoyment, and an outdoor shower to rinse off after your swimming and snorkeling.
