Off the beaten path, but less than an hour from volcano national park and Mauna Kea. Thirty minutes to Hilo with lots of ocean access and activities for families and adventurers. Ten minutes to Coast at Uncle Roberts. The space This freshly renovated suite has a convenient parking area and a private entrance, two bedrooms with queen size beds, one bathroom with shower, and a large screened in lanai including a generous dining “picnic” table and living area. The couch there can fold down to sleep one-two people. There is also a connected outdoor concrete pad with picnic table to enjoy the outdoors! *** IMPORTANT the fifth and sixth person would be sleeping on the full size couch bed in the "outdoor" screened in lanai if you book this for six people. We live above, so you will hear some family sounds above you at waking hours, similar to a hotel room. You may see us in the yard outside your windows or hear our doggies from time to time. At night the coqui frogs will sing to to sleep, and in the morning, neighborhood chickens will welcome the sun! Our neighborhood has recently been blessed with a peacock so keep your eyes open and you might see it! We do our best to keep all areas clean and pest free. However just a notice to more sensitive guests: The outdoor screened lanai should be considered an "outdoor area" and it is more subject to weather and the ups and downs of jungle life including occasional critters. No refunds with be given for bugs. The kitchen, dining room and bedrooms are about 30” below ground level in a daylight basement. Every room has windows with a breeze, lots of light and greenery outside! The larger screened in entry/living/dining area is at ground level with big views and is a great place to spend time! We do not offer A/C but can provide fans and honestly this downstairs tends to stay cool for the tropics. Guest access There is a washer and dryer accessible in the main house carport area that you may use. Shared back yard and your own picnic table area on concrete. Other things to note IMPORTANT: Life in Tropical Hawaii 🌴 Welcome to our lovingly renovated plantation hale nestled in the lush jungle of rural Hawaii! We’ve worked hard to create a space that is airy, clean, and healthy — and we also share it with the vibrant life of the tropics. We treat and clean regularly, but jungle neighbors like geckos, frogs, sugar ants, fruit flies, and the occasional roach are part of life here. We especially ask for your help in keeping them outside where they belong. Please: Wash dishes promptly after use Wipe down counters and dining surfaces Store all food properly in the fridge or sealed containers This is very important, especially in the kitchen. You may occasionally spot a tiny German roach, particularly at night when the lights are turned on. Regular treatment helps, but pest control is ongoing, and we rely on guests to clean up quickly after cooking. About Tropical Living: Being in rural Hawaii means the climate is wet and full of life. After heavy rains, it’s not unusual for critters to sneak in through doors or hidden cracks. If you're especially sensitive to insects or prefer a completely sealed environment, you may want to consider one of the drier 13 climates found elsewhere on the Big Island — or a hotel setting instead of our unique jungle retreat. ➡️ Refunds will not be issued due to the natural presence of bugs or tropical wildlife. This is a normal part of living close to nature in Hawaii, and we ask for your understanding and aloha. A Note About Our Cat 🐾 You’ll likely be greeted by Macchiato, our friendly outdoor Siamese cat. He is hypoallergenic for many, but not all — so if you're allergic or don’t enjoy cats, this may not be the best fit for you. While Macchiato loves affection and is happy to hang out with guests on the entryway bench, please do not let him inside the house. Refunds will not be issued based on cat sensitivities or preferences. Thank you so much for helping us keep this home clean, peaceful, and in harmony with nature. Mahalo!
