A Hawaiian rainbow in Manoa crowns our view from our home.

From our balcony, we enjoy Diamond Head, Waikiki and the Ala Wai Canal.

We're fortunate to have dramatic and changing views like these throughout the day. As the weather changes, the sky my be sunny, raining or cloudy. Most of the time, the weather is absolutely beautiful. Warm. To us, it is living in paradise. We are located only within 15 minutes of Waikiki and Ala Moana Beach. The famous Ala Moana Center is also minutes away.

In our backyard is Ala Wai Park. This is where we enjoy taking walks for exercise. We see lots of pigeons, bulbuls, java rice birds...and fish in a nearby stream. It has a volleyball and basketball court plus a children playground...so there are lots of activities to watch. As a bonus, we get to see kayakers and canoe paddlers cruising along the Ala Wai Canal. Very enjoyable.
