The “Whale House” was truly remarkable. From the “wow” factor, that doesn’t fade, every time you walk up to and into the house, to the amazing layout, it is truly a one-of-a-kind place. It’s beautiful, unique, loaded with art, and is just so comfortable. As a multi-generational group, it was so nice to have multiple seating areas with a spacious open floor plan that allowed people to be doing different things and yet all feel together. The small pool was great for quick dips and to cool off. The outdoor dining area and grill, surrounded by chaise lounge chairs, was a centerpiece for many of our meals. Sitting on the balconies and overlooking palm trees and the ocean with coffee was a morning ritual. There were boogie boards, surf boards, a paddle board, beach umbrellas, chairs, snorkel gear, sand toys, and coolers in the garage that covered everything we needed. The short walk to the Kahekili beach (which surprisingly also always had available parking) was great. The beach was uncrowded, and the snorkeling around the just offshore reefs and abundant fish were unexpected and as good as any place else we snorkeled. A few other pluses, two parking spaces plus room in the garage for a third car, a beautiful and quiet golf course neighborhood, and always felt very safe. Everything was great, and we had a wonderful time. I can’t imagine a place that is better all-around than this one.
