You can also find fresh produce at The Country Market on Saturday mornings at Sunset Beach Elementary School (less than a mile away)....Our property is central to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world stretching from Haleiwa to Waimea Bay to Sunset Beach and more. Waimea Falls Park, across from the bay, is an 1800 acre nature park and you can swim to the water falls....At the top of the Park on the hill you will find Puu O Mahuka Heiau, Oahu's largest temple that covers nearly 2 acres.

Concerning children:
Due to the use of large panes of glass in the doors, concrete stairways, high balconies and stone ledges, the house may not be suitable for young children. However older children will find the garden delightful. On the property there are areas not yet tamed, wonderful for exploring; there is a sacred grove of gnarly old trees (beware of thorns), rocks and boulders for climbing, flowers for gazing, all alive for the imaginative. Layout of the bedrooms at the south (master suite) and north (blue suite and green room)ends of the house extends privacy. A floorplan can be viewed at www.HouseOfSacredCircles.com.

Poised on the northernmost tip of Oahu, Turtle Bay Golf is the perfect choice for the golfer who wants to escape Honolulu and Waikiki.

The George Fazio Course has hosted the LPGA Tour's Hawaiian Open and was the site of the first Senior Skins Game and Big Break V. George Fazio's only golf course in Hawaii was re-opened in the spring of 2002 and is known to have some of the best greens on the island of Oahu. Holes #6,7,11,12 are all situated near the Ocean.
