       Description of the Property

 

The property is in Kapoho Beach, a gated community, and is surrounded by a 6' high privacy stone wall. Half the property is a warm tide pool pond (filled with tropical fish) and the other - uniquely earthy, outdoor-oriented tropical-style living areas that have glimpses of the ocean. This is the perfect place to get away from the high stress life-style, swim, relax, in the pond (clothing optional), reflect and rest. Enjoy the simple life - a stone's throw from the ocean.


Explore the local color and lifestyle just minutes away via a bike ride to the Millionaire Pond (aka Ahalanui Hot Pond) - a 95-degree pond separated from the ocean waves by a small wall. A further ride takes you down a tree-canopied road to a fishing village where you can purchase direct from the fisherman and then on to a black sand beach (clothing optional here, too).

The village of Pahoa is 8 miles away. Along the way, stop at the Lava Tree National Park. In Pahoa you'll find a full service health food store, boutique shops, specialty restaurants, a fresh fish market, a Sunday out-door market featuring local crafts, homemade foods and lot of local characters, plus the usual amenities.
