Aloha! You are looking at a fully licensed property for vacation rental (Hawaii STVR registration No. 19-361380), which speaks for my qualification and experience as your host. My place is centrally located in Kona, close to farmer's market, restaurants, shops and beaches for snorkeling/diving. You’ll love my place because of the tropical island ambiance, quiet and safe neighborhood, no traffic, consistent mountain breeze, sunset everyday, professionally cleaned rooms and the super comfy beds. Recently upgraded King-size bed with new ocean-wave carving on wood, and 15-inch mattress plus a 2-inch memory foam topper. We strive to make the most comfortable bed because we want you to sleep well during travel and feel energized to explore the world in the morning! You may enjoying hiking around our property within the rock wall and picking in-season fruits. We have Hawaiian white pineapple, avocado, lychee, mango, starfruit, longan, jabuticaba, lemon, orange, cherimoya and papaya trees. You have access to patio, kitchen, laundry station, a large on-site outdoor parking area, a lawn and our orchid. When you are staying at my place, we may store our family car in the garage and some personal belongings in the kitchen cabinets and fridge, and we will provide plenty designated space for your items. Please be aware that in the living room we keep a medical chair which is for our personal use only. Thank you for your understanding. I have traveled around the world and I know that the real luxury in traveling means not only having a clean and comfortable place to stay but also being taken care of by the host. I give my guests space but am available when needed. I am active in scuba diving, freediving and other-door activities. If you need any information on where to go & what to do, I am more than happy to help. Plus, I know a few secret spots to swim with dolphins, turtles and manta rays. This location has consistent mountain breezes that bring a comfortable temperature, so it's never scorching hot like oceanfront properties. With fans on, AC is not needed for 99% people. Quiet and safe neighborhood - good for family with kids. No traffic Minimal ambient light at night - excellent star view Hawaii is a paradise, and so lots of plants, wild birds, coqui frogs, and other animals also live here. We treat bugs and pests on a regular basis inside and around the house, but - no matter how hard we work and how amazing my place is - occasional encounter with ants or cockroach is possible in Hawaii. I’m sure that you understand this is part of a tropical island experience :) A rental car is ideal to get around town and all your planned activities. Taxi from the airport costs about 50-60 dollars. Uber is an option. No bus station nearby. Price includes 4.5% Hawaii General Exercise Tax and 10.25% Transient Accommodation Tax (Certificate of Registration: TA-209-842-5856-01)
