Heavenly waters, Heavenly close...

at the Cottage in Lanikai...I think as I get myself on the property. I rest in the back yard, deeply breathing as if attempting to contain with all the capacity of the senses this purely divine view that surrounds me.
Looking at soothingly drifting waves in front of my very eyes, it comes to mind what E.E. Cummings once said: " For whatever we lose, it's always our self we find in the sea."
I can stay here for hours without any purpose whatsoever, and I will be filled, and I will be found, and so will you...
I decide to take a peak inside the cottage, and what I see reminds me of my fun overflow getaways with girlfriends, or romantic escapes with a boyfriend. Cottage at Lanikai is just plain welcoming with its casual comfort. It's intimate, private, surrounded by delightful and succulent carpet of grass, heavenly soft for your feet. I imagine the mornings and late evenings here, when barefoot you greet the sunrises, and celebrate the colors of the sunset. What about the full moon nights in this magical setting...The only thing you'd need while you here is perhaps a company to share this immensely thrilling experience of rejoice your Hawaiian vacation in the Cottage at Lanikai. Ultimate Paradise it is...

I love the interior even though it's kept to necessity and laid-back basics. Living room and the kitchen all together, defined by the high vaulted wooden ceiling and spectacular large windows, bringing the enchantment of the outdoors for your enjoyment, within. Two bedrooms the Cottage has for its guests are arranged with decor much at ease. This accessory free space can be used for your inner creativity, so that you can rest and find the opulence and happiness in the surrounding you seascape.
For "Happiness is a butterfly, which once pursued is always beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you." - Nathaniel Hawthorne...
And I know it did, once I entered this home, another dream of Hawaiian vacation home. This time not because of its carefully placed artwork and embedded luxury, but because of its graceful appreciation for the true nature of the Island's treasure, which is its bountiful scenery. Here in Lanikai is just the way it is, blissfully. And there for you it is, The Cottage in Lanikai if you desire to enter the garden of Eden. Who would you like to bring with, should be your only wandering thought now...
