considerably different it was a canvas awning we put these trusses on it and started with a small staff and now we operate the restaurant the deli downstairs to our little surf shop right next door my wife and i you know operate the business and got about one hundred employees and keeps us busy rumor has it you're a surfer well my daughter's actually an expert factional surfer ok she was her name is rochelle ballard she surfed on the world tour for other night and you know every now and then you know we've got a beautiful day to day but once and once in a blue moon you get a bad day so you're got to go through that and tell us about what you offer here at the restaurant maybe some of your signature dishes i know we've got some might and i got some in my ties coming  we're a small family style restaurant we do great fresh fish prime rib we're open for lunch and dinner every day start early in the morning go to late at night with a happy are you know it's just a small casual place we're lucky we're our slogan is right on the beach good food friends and fun and  retail you met sherry downstairs i would do a little gift shop down there we have a little deli downstairs we have a catering business that we do so next time you come over with your party will will take care of you going with something all right well let's get to those my t a person who whirlpool tub and shower so it's very very comfortable and great for couples trying to get away so it's a one of a kind for us take a look sure we pride ourselves in the gardens we have to begin with about fifteen plumeria trees which will see when we go around by the cottages wonderful fragrance different color flowers out here this is the dry side of the island and so this is fairly typical of cactus  familiar with noni it's it's a medicinal medicinal plant we have a neighbor up the street that uses it for part of her cancer treatment actually and when it's right it's not the most pleasant smelling thing but it certainly has its value it's going to taste good you see it has to it is sweet or no it's better he it's nothing that's pleasant that's for sure yeah this show called a shower tree and it still has some blooms but when it's in full bloom much as about a month ago it almost glows in the dark it's just an amazing tree this is a yellow shower tree and on our  road coming in those are rainbows are trees that you pass and they actually change colors during the day and all rainbow colors so we've tried our best to have as many native plants as possible and i'm probably not the one to recycle all their names job it's the real expert with that sure but we really want to have the full experience of hawaii and you know that's why you're in hawaii  fragrances and the flowers and that's why they called the garden island chris how close are we to the beach here plantation lower close to the actual ocean's about one hundred yards across the street right here but it's rocky shoreline so the most to walk because as soon as they hit those tide pools you'll see our green sea turtles which are endangered and they dissed love this corner of our our beach this is also this whole coastline from that point where the turtles are all the way up to the point here which is mock away in a point in southernmost part of the island these are the ancient point fishing grounds and so needless to say the fishing the shore fishing can be excellent here super our neighbor planted trees probably in by the earlier settlers is there a reason why they were that the tunnel were like that for protection of some sort i believe their planet for the a statics to really mark that road in their planet by one o coloe was also back on the hawaiians were living here for five hundred years ago was a very well populated area and this was the koloa field system it was the first hole in port captain cook record it that actually export it goods off the island to the west at first business commerce center that's right ok and ships would come in day on it going appoint the canoes and go they didn't trade i guess they sold sweet potato for the gold rush so california was buying a lot of sweet potato for that purpose super chris i know you don't only have a bed and breakfast here but you also have some vacation know there are elements of your property take a lot of schools look we have next to the bed and breakfast we're on an acre of garden so it's a big property we have nine vacation rental suites with full sized kitchens so we operate these as not been a breakfast guests are here and they do their own cooking they kind of take care of themselves we include some housekeeping services depending on how long they're here we always include housekeeping on departure and so these are cottage style we have nine units and three different buildings that surround the gardens and so it's a wonderful atmosphere people really enjoy these they are air conditioned a lot of places aren't although we do encourage people to open their windows and enjoy the trade winds this weather is the number and surrounding our gardens makes a wonderful atmosphere this is actually another one of our unique trees this is a to he's an orange and the oranges don't really turn orange because we don't have a  the quick walk i mentioned earlier a couple hundred yards you just get around those buildings and that's the turtle point and poipu beach the lifeguard station and the sandy beach stretches all the way down to the sheraton so it's wonderful walking and we really encourage our guests to walk the view that also takes in the mountains to our west and north of the wettest place on earth is in those clouds somewhere this morning but it's hard to beat the view and let's go inside i'll show you the suite so this is ocean view one bedroom about seven hundred square feet tall size kitchen and king bed in the bedroom our bathrooms have large showers and of course the vanity and and all air conditioning ceiling fans hardwood floors nice vault ceilings people really love it some money rather than going out to the restaurants every day so you know what would get you as far as shopping at local markets but would you recommend them close your location here to bring home maybe some fresh fish or some fruit right it's all  the actual town and it's about a five minute drive there's a big grocery there there are several groceries of the biggest as big save right next door is an old house converted to a fish market a cool fish market and next door to there's a lot of open areas where you can enjoy snorkeling and swimming right here it's not very populated tiny hidden gems real close to the airport so until then guys get you next week on island get away
