Mauna Lanai—which reflects our love of elevated island living and a strong connection to the outdoors—captures how this home feels: open, calm, and grounded in its surroundings. The single-level interior layout keeps everything easy and connected, creating a bright, comfortable living space that feels relaxed and welcoming.<br /><br />We love the natural flow between indoors and out. After a day at the beach or exploring nearby trails, evenings slow down naturally—cocktails on the queen bedroom lanai with pool and mountain views, family dinners shared around the table or on the lanai, and quiet time together as the day winds down. It’s a calm, unhurried rhythm that feels restorative, grounding, and distinctly Hawaiian.<br /><br />Home Layout & Walkthrough<br /><br />The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen areas create a bright, welcoming space for families and groups. Relax in the comfortable living room or step onto the main lanai to enjoy the peaceful sounds of the Bali Hai fountains and surrounding greenery.
