When you walk in through the custom designed front door, you will start to see the fabulous design features and art immediately. Large spaces and endless light fill the area which include the living room, kitchen, dining area and lanais. On this main level there are two bedrooms, one with a queen and one with two twins. Head downstairs and you enter the realm of the Family Suite. It has both a king and a queen size bed and a beautiful bathroom with a free standing tub. The space When we moved to Hawai'i in 1989 our journey started in Volcano Village outside of the National Park. In 2000 we moved our karma and love for the 'aina (land) to Honoli'i. When you visit our home we hope you engender the same feelings we have: peace, serenity and the knowledge that Pele and Kanaloa watch over the Big Island and the special piece of it we mind for them. When we bought this property we completely remodeled it from the ground up. It has state of the art finishes throughout and is meant to provide a tranquil respite for Lisha and I after we complete our work with the Foreign Service. It's a place for families to gather together and celebrate what's important. When you walk in through the custom front door, you will start to see the design features and art immediately. Large spaces and endless light fill the main area which include the living room, kitchen, dining area and lanais. There are two bedrooms, one with a queen and one with two twins, on the street level. Take the staircase downstairs and you enter the realm of the sixty by twenty foot wide Family Suite. It has a queen bed and a king size bed in the sleeping area. The beds aren’t visible from each other but there no additional privacy. The beautiful bathroom has a free standing tub while the toilet is in a separate room. Then there is my personal favorite, a double shower which is also a steam room. There is a second, fully covered lanai on this level as well. Just outside the bedroom's side door there is an outdoor shower looking over the ocean. Cooling is provided by ceiling and floor fans in all rooms. If you open the sliding doors the trade winds keep it comfortable. Between June and August it can be hot and muggy on a few days which is part of being in Hawai’i. We do not have AC nor do most homes in East Hawai'i. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you might need. Please note that housekeeping removes condiments and food when cleaning so please bring what you require. Please be aware that our insurance does NOT allow for charcoal or gas grills and BBQs. Like all of East Hawai’i we have coqui frogs chirping at night. Depending on the night they can be loud. Most guests find the sound pleasing while others not so much! OCCUPANCY-In consideration of our neighbors and because of liability issues, OCCUPANCY AND USE OF THE HOUSE IS STRICTLY LIMITED TO THE NUMBER OF GUESTS WE HAVE AGREED TO IN YOUR RESERVATION. Other persons are not allowed on the property and there can be no loud parties at any time. Quiet hours are dictated by County ordinance and are between 9pm and 8am during which time "noise shall not unreasonably disturb adjacent neighbors". At all other times of the day "sound shall not be more excessive than would otherwise be associated with a residential area". Our neighbors closely monitor the street and record and report disruptive events as soon as they happen. IF WE RECEIVE A COMPLAINT REGARDING EXCESSIVE TRAFFIC, NOISE OR PARTIES OF ANY KIND YOU WILL FORFEIT YOUR SECURITY DEPOSIT. We understand that many wish to have events and parties and in fact love a good time ourselves. If that is your need then our home is not the place for you. Parking is in the driveway ONLY. Please do not park on the street. Please be aware that we only accept reservations through recognized distribution channels. There are scams that show photos of our home on the internet where you are asked to send payment directly. PLEASE DO NOT BE FOOLED! Our base rate is for up to four guests. Each additional guest from five to a maximum of eight is charged at $50 per person per night to cover additional wear and tear and utility costs.
