We live on 11 Road (also known as Pulelehua Road) and just love it. Yes, it's pretty rough - funny story there. Our landlord didn't really share with us how rough the road is...
Anyway - we now have an addition to the family Honda car - a Range Rover all wheel drive!
I've not been down 10 Road but have been down 11 all the way to the end. You can tell where 11 Road floods by the deep puddles in the road. Everywhere there is a dip in the road, the water flows across it when it rains. C Road, to my understanding, is the worst one to flood. 11 Road becomes a "river" during a hard rain, but after it stops raining, 11 Road is passable after about an hour.
You can tell where the "rivers" flow on the land by the tall grasses that grow on what appears to be ditches. Most people who have built here already have done a good job of building the homes out of the way of the water. It's truly lovely here - private - great neighbors (at least between B and C Roads...and yes, ocean views.
Here - we can see the ocean through the trees from the second floor. I personally wouldn't want to cut the trees down just to have a better ocean view - but some lots have less trees than others. We have alot of Ohia, a couple of Monkey Pod trees, and several tall palms on the property here.
I hope this helps and will be glad to help anyway I can.
Peace - Anna
