I am hoping someone has some pictures of the interior of the Guest House - Boat House as it stands, I know it was used for external shots but does anyone have any idea of the interior. I know Rick Romer has shots of the set , but I am looking for shots of the inerior of the boat house as I am trying to build up a model of the guest house and am finding it difficult to visulise to put together.

Hey Kimbosan,
I have already done a model of the boathouse/guest house using Google Sketchup. Page 25 of this thread shows it. E-mail James for the file, but you have to download the program first (it's free). There is a forum thread on this topic as well called "The Guest House" I believe. The last couple of pages would probably be most helpful to you.
From what I and other members have surmised, the downstairs is not unlike a garage inside, simple storage and a dirt/sand floor with a couple of support posts (which aren't in my model). It has several small windows and the large doors leading right to the beach. It also has its own entry from ground level below the stairs up to the porch. It can be seen in the episode screencap from "Who is Don Luis Higgins..." on this site, and a couple of screen caps from the Hawaii Five-O episode "Sweet Terror" shown earlier in this thread. Pages 6 and 9 are helpful.
The upstairs is more of a mystery, but it is too small for the guest house set as used in the show. We know it has one bedroom and one bathroom from the tax records. There isn't room for much else. The bathroom is on the side nearest the lava rock wall at the edge of the property as there is a plumbing vent on that side and the window is smaller than the other two upstairs. I added a closet in the model just about the only place it would fit, between the bathroom and bedroom. Perhaps the closet and bathroom doors could be flipped, but thats about it.
Take a look at the model. I'm sure it will help. You can move all around it and inside of it once you download the program. I got it's dimensions from the tax records also. I have an architectural background that has given me a surprising amount of insight as to these structures (the model is actually the whole estate) from just photographs from the show and fans traveling there to take pictures. It is really the rear of the estate main house that is the bigger mystery. Even the gate house has been modeled fairly precisely.
Good luck with your model!
