Special events

setting up for the Luau


Occasionally we feel like doing something different, such as an outdoor barbeque or a Sunday buffet. The past couple of years we've brought in a guest chef and put on a Hawaiian Luau. These events aren't on a set schedule, so you may not have them on your particular vacation week. But what we do have for every guest who stays a week is our famous lobster and steamers dinner. It's our special treat for our guests. Yummy!
