House rental in Kapoho, Hawaii - Oceanfront Coral Pool House, fabulous view & snorkeling from property - Property 182380

State Marine Preserve: : The Coral Pool House is on the shore of a 50-acre marine preserve, 'Wai'opae (why-o-pie) Marine Life Conservation District'. The grounds extend into the preserve, providing easy access to its tranquil coral pools. ..... The preserve is one of only 11 in the Hawaiian Islands. Marine preserves were established to protect the unique marine life of these special places. The Wai'opae preserve has among the greatest density and diversity of marine life of all the preserves. The coral and fish-laden pools are home to 11 coral and over 100 fish species, and the endangered green sea turtle. ..... Your recreation experience is enhanced (especially snorkeling) by laws that prohibit fishing, collecting aquarium fish and coral, and commercial activities within the preserve. Wai'opae preserve lacks the crowds found at most State marine preserves due to limited public parking.

Snorkeling and Swimming in Calm Waters: : The grounds of the Coral Pool House meet the sea where you can slip into its tranquil coral pools. The pools offer FABULOUS SNORKELING, for the beginner to the experienced. ..... The inner pools are calm 360 days/year due to the protective outer reef. Thermally heated water seeps into these inner pools, making them noticeably warmer. They are ideal for swimming, as well as snorkeling, or for those who wish to float and relax. Outer pools may be enjoyed by the more experienced snorkeler, offering greater density of corals and some fish species not seen in the inner pools. Large predators (e.g. sharks, barracuda, etc.) are absent due to the barrier reef. ..... On the grounds of the home is a shallow natural warm pond, great for those experiencing snorkeling for the first time or for children to play in. Children may be observed at play from the house, its lanais or the patio. We provide some snorkeling equipment (masks, snorkels & fins) and information on reef fish and corals
