We've been finding out the history of the house we're staying in because we're convinced that it's probably the best house you can find in Hawaii. The property is about an acre right on the ocean, which is rare - and it has a big geen backyard and a pool that circulates salt water from the ocean.
It turns out that it has been in the same family since 1956. The current owner's father bought 3 acres on the coast when Kauai wasn't very developed. Apparently, his friends thought it was a little crazy because there wasn't much on this island then, but obviously it was a good buy. He built the salt water pool by hand and it is still there today.
The current owner and his sisters grew up here, living in the house year-round. The house was destroyed by a hurricane in 1982 and then another hurricane in 1992. The current house was built in 2001.

The living room has big sliding glass doors that open all the way up so that you almost feel like you're sitting outside when you're in there.

It's like a Corona commercial (but I guess they probably wouldn't use a baby)
