Aloha and Welcome to Hale Luana Iki, a place to pause for a moment and enjoy ones self.
Here is a BEAUTIFUL property located at what is locally known as Bathtub Beach. It is so named due to the natural reef which rises from the water about 40 feet from shore. At Low Tide, this reef traps the water between itself and the shoreline allowing the sun to warm the "pond" and you can walk the reefs entire length.
The water in the pond directly in front of the house gets no more than 3 to 4 feet deep. The ancient remnants of what appears to be a foundation further protects the sandy beach creating an additional "pool". A few yards to the right and the water max's out at 5-6 feet at high tide. This has got to be THE BEST BEACH FOR CHILDREN or those who just want to get wet where as there are no currents and you are protected from the open Ocean. The Pond abounds with sea life from Octopus, Shrimp and Crabs to schools of Sardines, Nehu, Oama and Aholehole.
There is a One person Ocean Kayak and Boogie Boards to help you enjoy this gorgeous area.
The interior of the house boasts smooth clean lines and is very well kept with it's Solid Countertops and New Appliances. The Livingroom is furnished with Elephant Bamboo furniture topped with Plush Cushions, and a pair of Glass Double Bi-Fold Doors expose the Excellent Oceanview and MAGNIFICENT Sunrises. There is a Futon couch/bed here so you can Fall asleep in front of the 42" LCD TV and awake to the Sunrise over the Ocean if you wish. The Kitchen is opened to the Living area for ease of conversation. Through the Teak and Glass doors is the covered Lanai where you will be able to Dine in the open and enjoy the view. The Lanai also has a Ten foot Sliding Glass and Screen door so you can enjoy the lanai even during inclement weather. There is a spacious lawn for relaxing, sunning or playing a game and the entire property is either fenced, hedged or both for your privacy.
Another GREAT PLACE at a GREAT PRICE giving you more than a set of keys !
