Welcome to one of the most private homes at Kahana Village where every window provides beautiful and varied vistas. In the morning, open the drapes in the ground floor bedroom to a cool and colorful island garden. Prepare breakfast in the kitchen overlooking Kahana Nui, an intermittent mountain stream. Look closely when it is flowing; you may see a night heron fishing from the lush overhang. Take your breakfast tray to the lanai and enjoy a splendid view of the coastline up to Kapalua Bay and across to the neighbor island of Molokai.

From December to May, look for Hawaii's famous humpback whales in the Pailolo Channel with the aid of binoculars located in the living room television stand, (remembering to replace them so other families may also enjoy their use.) Because the ocean view looks north, it is rarely necessary to close the drapes against the hot afternoon sun so you can take in the panorama all day long. In the evening, after a full day's activities, take cool drinks to the lanai and relax to the rhythms of the off-shore breakers and the winking of the shore-line lights far in the distance on Molokai.

To those of you who return repeatedly to #35, welcome home. We are delighted to have you back. To first time visitors, we hope your experience in our island home is truly memorable. Kipa mai. Hoi mai.
