David and I had been watching this particular property for about 4 years. My husband and I are both in design professions and the simplicity of the house and the room for growth both in the house and on the property caught our attention right away. We were thrilled the homeowner accepted our offer and we can now call this little cottage on a cliff in Hawaii our second home.
We are remodeling strategically. Currently the house has a new roof, new water heater, new water filtration, new exterior paint and some new appliances. We have also replaced the furniture and will continue to improve on it. My husband is a local boy, growing up fishing and surfing so being able to fish right in his backyard is a huge bonus. When we visit, we spend every evening out on the lanai watching the sun go down. We often see beautiful full moons with clear skies that are perfect for star gazing. We have on occasion got to do some storm watching with lightning bolts out over the water. In January, February and March the humpback whales migrate through the islands, and they literally breech in the depths right off the lanai. It's amazing. It is my absolute favorite time to visit.
