Words and pictures cannot capture the heavenly essence of the property or warmth from this beautiful serene oasis. The first sight of the picturesque view will stop you in your tracks and take your breath away. The endless view of the tranquil ocean leaves us with an imagery of heaven imbedded in our hearts forever. We were lost in a sea of rooms that each had its own theme carefully crafted by the owners, we couldn't help but feel the warmth of their home. The Whale House as it is decorated is with exquisite taste brought so many new and nostalgic memories. We were blessed to have the adjacent house to accommodate our other pastors and wives, which was very cozy and comfortable. The estate offers complete privacy that boasts a "great room" where we mostly hung out and played board games, read, talked story and ate. The avant-garde kitchen opens into the great room was a premium benefit always keeping us together. It is literally steps away from the great room L- shaped sofas that gave us much needed refreshment of quiet after every meal, allowing us to soak in the sublime view of the afternoon sun and the breezy smell of the ocean below us with all of its attractively landscaped trees and a few stragglers, the adorably cute bunnies. We don't know where they came from or whose they are, but we enjoyed watching them daily hop gracefully about before returning to wherever their homes are. Spoiler alert: There is a familiar rustic oversized swing that is one of the best features of the house, where you can daydream, gaze at the scenic ocean and surrounding mountains all around with a feeling that leaves you wanting to build one for your own home.
I want to leave this last imagery and quote by the famous Alexander Pope, which was one of many most blessed moments as we recreated the Last Communion with Jesus, we remembered "the conscious water saw its Creator and blushed" commemorating Jesus' miracle of turning water into wine.
Lastly, a HUGE MAHALO to the best property manager you'll meet Mike, thank you - you have given us an amazing experience and retreat we will never forget. May you and your family be blessed for your excellent and very warm hospitality. You are to be celebrated for your outstanding service!!! We look forward to finding an excuse to return, any excuse.
Much aloha & blessings to you from Roy & Char & all the pastors of Agape Christian Fellowship Oahu
