The birds are peaceful, but can be loud, especially as the sun rises (5 AM in the summer, a bit later in the winter). Coqui frogs may be heard at night. Coqui frogs are very common on all of Big island, but since we live at sea level, the frogs are far less prevalent. We try to cool our house with the natural ocean breeze. The downstairs is equipped with three ceiling fans, a portable floor fan, and many windows encouraging air flow. We also recently installed a small AC in all the bedrooms. That being said, the Kona heat may be uncomfortable for some especially in the summer. Hawaii is a tropical environment, full of critters such as Geckos, moths, centipedes, roaches, and ants. We treat our property with organic products, and strive to keep a clean environment including removing all trash nightly. That being said, you may see an occasional critter that we can remove upon request.
