The 30' by 12' covered lanai runs all along the back of the house. It has great ocean views and is where we eat most of our meals. The city of Kailua-Kona is just up the coast (you can see it behind the fence in this picture).

Our house is on a hill here so the wild area across from us is at a much lower level. Some day this area may be developed but we will still have a view because of the hill. We get great ocean breezes most of the time and have ceiling fans in each room which keeps us cool. The cruise ship you see comes every Wednesday morning and leaves in the evening - otherwise our ocean view is of small boats and, in the winter, the humpback whales.

The winter sunset is right off our lanai - in the summer the sunset moves north to set behind the city of Kailua-Kona. We are looking forward to spending several months here each year, during our retirement, with many hours of meals, reading and gyotaku (fish printing) on this great lanai. We hope many of our family and friends will come and visit.
