2. What things do you like most about this home and living here?

Home: Everything. New recessed lighting throughout the kitchen, living and dining rooms, bathrooms. The marbled and travertine floor to ceiling bathroom stone in all the bathrooms.The yard. When you are in the yard it's like a private tropical island with 3 Plumeria trees and Papaya trees. Photovoltaic and additional new solar panel allows us to run the AC and hot water while keeping the electric bill at zero for most of the year with only an occasional bill for only 26.00. Plenty of parking, the driveway can hold another 2 cars in addition to the 2 cars parked in the garage.

Nearby walking path to Kailua Beach and is dog friendly. You can walk your dog on the beach where you can mix and meet with other neighbors doing the same and watch other human and dog surfers doing their thing.

Extremely safe and friendly neighbors. Everyone says hello to you when you walk by each other whether they know you or not. There is an obvious pride of ownership for all those that live here around us and it is pet friendly. Top notch excellent health care at the nearby Castle Hospital that is just a 10 min drive from here. Plenty of shopping nearby.
