We have arranged for self-check-in for our guests, this information can be obtained in the following 2 ways: 1) From your confirmation notice; or 2) The visual tutorial/slideshow that is available from the confirmation notice and my email (1 week prior to your visit). The confirmation is emailed to you after you have completed your reservation. 96 hours prior to your check-in date (3 pm HST) access information, house manual and rules, directions, and emergency contact numbers are then able to be accessed.

We are across the street from two beaches, one is a black sand beach less than a 2 min walk from our home. We are in a neighborhood of houses. We are about a 5 min walk to town center/business district; food trucks, the prestigious 5 diamond Travassa Hotel, and the Hana Ranch Restaurant. Dining and commercial retail are all within walking distance. The journey to Hana would require a vehicle or mode of transportation. The drive is not for the faint of heart, expect high cliffs, waterfalls, vistas, dense and remote jungle, and many single-lane yields and bridges. We are approximately 2.5 hours from the Hana Airport (with traffic (daytime), it is much longer than that). The Hana Hwy has become a popular destination for cycling enthusiasts as well. There is a tiny airport in Hana. Taxi or Uber is not available in this remote town. Hana is spread out with many sites to see and would make a vehicle is necessary to reach these areas. HANA HIGHWAY The drive is not for the faint of heart, expect high cliffs and vistas, waterfalls, dense and remote jungle, and many single-lane yields and bridges. We are approximately 2.5 hours from the airport with traffic it can at times take longer than that. The entire drive you will not receive cell phone service. The Hana Highway experiences landslides, heavy rainfall at times (*why we have waterfalls and the west side does not), trees may fall and we are prone to heavy traffic. A road crew designated to the Hana Highway work 24 hour/365 days per year. If a tree falls or there is a slide or rockfall they will be on-site immediately and clear it. To date, we have not received a full highway closure, that lasts for more than a few hours, be patient and it will be cleared. RAIN The Hana Highway and the entire east side of the island receive more rainfall per year than the west side of the island. The east side of the island consists of dense rainforest and waterfalls, the west side is considered a desert. FOOD Hana is no longer limited to food choices. There are 17 food trucks and 3 restaurants. CLEANING There are 3 separate rentals in the beach house, our housekeeper is on-site daily between 10 am and 3 pm. The inside and the outside of our home is tended to 365 days a year. We do not provide daily housekeeping services throughout your stay, the clean fee is applied to cleaning the suite after you have checked out. CRITTERS If you do not tolerate critters, Hana may not be the right place for you. We encourage our guests to keep screen doors closed at all times to avoid critters from entering. All visible spider webs are also removed from the entry, bathhouse, and the backyard pathway. We cannot guarantee you will not have a run-in with a spider web (they are able to form webs very quickly/overnight). We do not spray pesticides inside or outside. If you have a phobia or are unable to tolerate pests (ants, mosquitos, spiders, bugs, lizards), we suggest staying at any of the 5-star resorts on the west side of the island. They spray pesticides regularly and you would less likely encounter them there. DRIVEWAY Our driveway is long and narrow, please drive in and park with the front of your vehicle facing the house. There is ONE designated spot per suite. 3 vehicles are to be able to park side by side. BE PREPARED TO COMPLETELY BACK OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY as turning around is difficult.

NOISE We live in Hana Town (1,235 population) and have neighbors. Our neighborhood is quiet (with the exception of Halloween night and New Year's Eve) and locals do turn in it down and are very respectful at all hours. Most are often many are fast asleep by 9 pm. There can be noise intermittently, however, it is not like the city. We live in the country; families may be heard, grass will get cut, feral cats may fight, dogs and cows can be heard and occasionally, a rooster or chickens may pay an unscheduled visit. This studio is part of a triplex with a unit upstairs and a unit next door. Housekeeping is on-site turning over units between 10 am and 3 pm daily. There is a vacation rental next door to us and a church. CATS There is a good chance that you will encounter our orange kitties as they tend to greet our guests. They are very friendly. Please note that we do not allow the cats inside the suite under any circumstance. We respect those that have allergies, they are a royal pain when traveling. Please leave the doors closed at all times to ensure they don't find their way inside. If the kitties are not orange, they are feral strays. Do not touch stray cats ;), ours are precious.
