By booking the home, guests agree to waive all host liability for injury or death related to use of equipment (hot tub,grill, gas appliances), and assume all risk for use of grounds or facilities. In particular, we urge guests to exercise their own caution against falling coconuts, tripping hazards, and effects of rust, mold, volcanic fog or other environmental hazards. If this waiver is not agreeable, the booking is void, the guest must cancel immediately and notify the host.

Puna is a tropical climate on the wet side of Big Island. We are fortunate to have a micro climate that is sunnier and dryer than Hilo with amazing trade winds right off the coast. A typical day at Kehena will be partly sunny with the occasional brief shower. Temperatures range from the 70’s to 80’s year-round. Most homes in the area including ours have NO AIR CONDITIONING, and you will likely find you don’t need it! Just keep the fans circulating and windows open. Mold and rust are constants in any oceanfront home. While we do our best to nip it in the bud, please do not book our home with unreasonable expectations and do not expect refunds on that basis.

The Bali was build in Bali and imported to Hawaii on the Puna coast. We have monthly pest services and do our best to keep it clean. But, you will see bugs, wildlife, and many geckos. Generally, we do not have mosquitos because we are right next to the ocean. The geckos eat bug larvae and keep the house clean (even if they do poop). Please do not be alarmed by the occasional gecko droppings in and around the house.

We are 100% dependent on rain water stored in a catchment tank. We have well-maintained water filters, Bathing and cooking with this water is safe. Please bring your own drinking water if you are not use to drinking catchment water! PLEASE HELP US CONSERVE WATER, especially in dry spells. Enjoy our Hot tub and the beach. Water refill can take 2-3 days and cost $500.
