Our property is incredibly unique and tropical. Authentic Hawaii living, our property hosts the occasional tropical visitor. You could come across chickens, pheasants, roosters, and coqui frogs during your stay. Although we maintain our property with pest control, we ask that our guests do their part by keeping the house crumb-free. Although there is no AC in the main house (like most of Hawaii), it isn't needed. Our higher elevation and place on the mountain provide refreshing cross breezes 24 hours a day. You might even want to wear a sweater in the evening.
Our pool, (UNLIKE most of Hawaii) IS HEATED! The daily rate is $120 per day and is only billed to you upon request. Should you like to have the pool heated during your stay, please give advanced notice upon your arrival. We charge this fee to conserve energy for unnecessary heating. Resources are extremely limited and costly on the Big Island; this fee helps our guests be conscious of their energy consumption.
If your stay is ten days or longer, we will require a mid-week clean. The fee for this is $185. The same cost will be added to your checkout clean if you decline the mid-stay cleaning.
Traveling with Little Ones? No Problem. However, please note that our home and property are not childproofed. If you are traveling with children, we do require you to keep a close eye on them at all times, and they are never left unattended. Our pool does not have a gate or security monitoring system, so it is of utmost importance that children are supervised. We are happy to provide flexible sleeping arrangements for additional children on your reservation. Please get in touch with our host with any questions.
We do not allow private parties or Weddings.
Please consider our check-in/departure times when booking your stay. Our check-in time is 4 pm, and checkout is 11 am.
