"Sea Fans" is located on the leeward side of the island so it enjoys gentle breezes with temperatures usually in the low 80's to upper 70's throughout the year. " Step directly off of your property onto the beach. The warm, clear water gently laps up against the sand, making it ideal for children and older adults. Walk along the almost coral-free sandy bottom or swim out a short distance to an extensive coral reef. Bring your own or rent snorkel equipment and enjoy the wide variety of sea life which lies just off shore in your own "Backyard." Besides keeping the wave action under control, it also keeps out boaters who might otherwise come to shore.

There are three shaded areas attached to the house for those who prefer a cooler (safer) place to sit, read or sleep. The house is entered through a wide shaded porch. On the beach side of the house (the back) is a large porch with both a dining and sitting area. Beside the house is a Bougainvillea-covered terrace with a stone breakfast dining table for 4. A 20X40 foot pool (the largest in the area) is situated between the covered patio and the beach. This is a rectangular "swimming" pool, not a clever odd-shaped "dipping" pool. A seat-height native stone wall which defines the pool provides a great place to sit as well as safety for the "little ones". At one end of the pool is a below-water bench seat to rest on after doing your laps (or for sipping your favorite frozen drink). Teak lounge chairs and a teak table with umbrella are placed about the Oklahoma stone decking. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with colorful flowers, several varieties of palms, banana, lime and grapefruit trees. Native boulders rest comfortably about the property, directing the various lighted paths to their destination.

"Sea Fans" was designed so that each of the bedrooms is very private. Each hexagonal BR has its own separate entrance, A/C, bathroom and "outdoor" shower (no one can see in but you can watch the sunset over Drake's Channel). There are 2 separate beachside bedroom pods and a 2 story, 2 bedroom pod. The second floor BR even has a kitchenette. Each BR has its own large covered terrace with teak furniture. There is a wet bar by the pool, complete with an ice maker and refrigerator.

The main house has a high cathedral roof with 4 ceiling fans and indirect lighting. There is a modern, extremely well equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, microwave oven, toaster oven and refrigerator/freezer with water and ice dispensed through the door. The large center island has a beautiful polished granite top with stools beneath it. The flooring in all living areas is Mexican stone tile. Although "earth tones" are prevalent throughout the interior, bright floral patterns brighten up each room. A glass-top, stone-base dining room table seats 6 comfortably. An L-shaped sitting area just off of the kitchen is set up for easy conversation or to watch TV. A library of books, videos, games and CDs is available for your enjoyment.
