Living & Dining
A grand, gated entry leads into sun-filled interiors framed by vaulted ceilings and sliding glass doors to the sea. Two ocean view living rooms offer plush seating and coastal breezes, while the media room provides a cozy, air-conditioned retreat for movie nights. The dining area, set beside large windows, seats eight comfortably, with additional spots at the breakfast bar.

Chef-Ready Kitchen
A fully renovated kitchen shines with stainless steel appliances, a gas cooktop, wine fridge, and granite counters. Ocean views from the sink and prep spaces turn cooking into a pleasure, whether you’re brewing Kona coffee or preparing a fresh island feast.

Outdoor Oasis
Step onto the wrap-around lanai and breathe in the salt air. Lounge by the pool and spa, fire up the BBQ for an alfresco dinner, or watch spinner dolphins and wintertime whales from your private oceanfront perch. Lava outcroppings in front of the home add drama to the endless blue horizon.
