Lisa and Ken happend to be there when we arrived and gave us a warm welcome along with a tour othe the house and the grounds which included that most outstanding feather--the ocean right in front of the house. their property is separated from the beach by a lush backyard and a hedge which adds both privacy and protection. We could hear the ocean as we went to sleep and first thing in the morning we were out there for a walk or just to stand and take in the waves, coffee in hand. We felt as if we had it to ourselves. We were there in January so the waves were pretty fierce, not condusive for swiming, but incredible to watch. For swimming we drove to the east side where the waters were calm. The backyard is set up with a table, chairs, a barbeque and lights. There is a good supermarket nearby. We enjoyed many dinners out there . It was our first time on Oahu and Lisa and Ken's place was the perfect base for us.
