KITCHEN:
*Built with custom cabinets and quartz counters.

Other things to note
Renting a vehicle is a MUST. Public transportation does not work outside of Kona/Hilo...you will need to rent a car to enjoy Hawaii Island (it's BIG!) A small car/SUV is ideal for exploring and navigating the island.
Note: You do not need to rent a Jeep to explore Hawaii Island. While it does make you look cool to drive, is it not a requirement like in Jurassic Park, as there are roads to 80% of the attractions you will drive to on-island and sightings of dinosaurs is limited.
Owner Presence: Please be aware that the owners and other guests may be on the property in the main house during your stay.
Beach Essentials: In the closet you will find a couple beach chairs, a beach umbrella, some snorkel gear and maybe even a boogie board. There also may be a random cooler tucked under the main house next door, which, if available, can be used (please return it to the same location at the end of your stay).
In the traditional Hawaiian style, there is no AC built into the house. The temps at 3600' elevation range from 55-85 degrees Fahrenheit all year long... and there is normally a breeze.
SO, if it's HOT: open the window.
If it's COLD: grab an additional blanket.
Water System: Much of Hawaii Island is on a catchment water supply (rainwater catchment system). It is highly filtered then passes through a UV light system, making it clean and fully drinkable from the tap.
All toilets are modern and have a bidet, we do ask that you DO NOT flush any toilet paper or personal products, please put all paper products in the small trash cans and empty those as needed to the large grey cans outside.
Connectivity: Fast Wi-Fi is available, making the space suitable for remote work, and a JBL bluetooth speaker is available to enjoy also.
Laundry: A small laundry room with a washer and dryer is located outside on the back of the main house, just a few feet from the Ohana for your use. The code for this is posted inside the ohana.
Security: the protection of all guests and our property, exterior security cameras are located around the property which monitor the exterior areas.
This unit is a vacation rental. The required Hawaii GET & TA Tax of 17.96% will be collected as part of your booking. Hawaii TAT# TA-104-712-7552-01

Neighborhood highlights
The neighborhood is on agricultural land, and is somewhat removed from the hustle and bustle of city life. There are no street lights, and the roads can be bumpy (it's located on a volcano).
Situated at 3600' elevation (in the clouds), in the largest subdivision in the world on the slopes of the largest Volcano (Mauna Loa) in the world!
Located 1.25 hours from Kona and 1.75 hours from Hilo Hawaii.
There are no sidewalks or streetlights, and given the elevation it is not recommended to stray too far from the home on foot.
