Less than two miles beyond the center of town, and across the street from the gorgeous crescent of white sand known as Hamoa Beach, these two units are going to be popular. I say going to because they were constructed in late 1999 and the world really didn t know about them at press time. As soon as that changes, you may have trouble making reservations. Hosts Sandi and Dan Simoni live on the second floor of the main house and rent the first floor and adjacent cottage. Both properties sit on an unobstructed corner lot.
Furnishings are tasteful and tropical.
The fully equipped modern kitchen features a dining bar with stools. But you ll probably be eating on the long lanai, where you can take in bay views across the street. The romantic cottage is a gem, the kind of place where you could hole up for seven rainy days and not go stir crazy. Decorated in an old Hawaiian style, with fan palms in lieu of traditional ceiling fan paddle, for instance, the cottage boasts a little covered oceanfront lanai and bay views from the bed. The small bedroom is dominated by a bamboo sleigh bed, giving the room a warm, natural feel.
