What are the guest rooms really like?

It's very difficult to describe our guest rooms with just a few lines and one or two photographs, so I thought we'd go into detail a little bit more here in our blog.

Luana Inn is a very unique property as far as guest rooms go because, unlike most B&B's, this house was actually built to be a bed and breakfast, rather than being a house that was converted into a B&B. This resulted in guest rooms that were very well designed. Each guest room has a private entrance and private bathroom and is quite large, as far as traditional B&B rooms go. The bathrooms were not added in after the fact, which is also the case in many B&B's. I've stayed in more than one traditional B&B that either had a shared bath or where the guest room had a bathroom but was so tiny is was obviously a converted closet. Our first impression when we saw photos of the guest rooms here before we bought the property was that the rooms looked more like elegant resort rooms rather than crowded B&B guest rooms, which we liked! We are both fans of space, cleanliness, privacy, and minimalism. I'll try to describe each of the five guest rooms one at a time over my next few entries to give you a better feel for each of them.  

First I'll describe Moana, our ocean room. Moana is probably our single most popular room because it has the most dramatic ocean view. It's in the main house and has two doors, one onto the front yard with the wedding arch, and one onto our Great Room. Many of our guests who've stayed in this room have commented that they feel like the front yard is their own private lawn. The front lawn is a manicured grassy stretch bordered by a hedge with bright orange flowers that overlooks the ocean. We're so close to the ocean that you can often hear the waves at night from this room. Many of the Moana guests also leave the door to the Great Room open since few guests actually use that space. The Moana Room is open and airy and has great light. The calming sound of the koi pond waterfall is always in the background.
