Guest access
Guests will have private and exclusive access to the entire main house during their stay.

Parking Access & Rules:
A dedicated concrete parking area is provided for your convenience.
A maximum of two (2) cars are permitted on the property.
For the preservation of our landscape, please park only on the concrete pad between the house and the water catchment tank. Do not park behind the house or on the street.

Other things to note
In the traditional Hawaiian style, there is no AC built into the house. The temps at 3600' elevation range from 55-85 degrees F all year long... and there is normally a breeze.
SO, if it's HOT: open the window.
If it's COLD: grab a blanket.

(Note: there is a small heater unit built into the wall by the fridge, I've only ever used this once. If you do turn this on, please ONLY USE IT when you are in the main area, and turn it off when you leave. Energy in Hawaii is the MOST EXPENSIVE in the world.

All toilets are modern and have a bidet, we kindly request that you DO NOT flush any toilet paper or personal products, please put all paper products in the small cans next to toilet and empty those as needed to the large can outside.

40% of Hawaii Island is on a catchment water supply, rainwater collected and run through a series of filters and a UV light system. So the water at the tap is highly filtered, clean and fully drinkable. Enjoy!

We've stayed all over Hawaii island before we purchased our home...we loved the South side of the island the most.

We price our home to encourage folks to find and enjoy something different, away from:
*Kona Heat
*Hilo Rain
*Overcrowded with people (kona and hilo)
*Ridiculous vacation rental prices (our prices are much less than Kona prices...and our house is nearly brand new!)

If you choose to stay with us you have access to 2 grocery stores (less than 5 miles down the hill from the house), 3 gas stations, a coffee shop, pizza, bbq, kai Loki's bar & grill, an Ace hardware...and crazy awesome views of the ocean as far as you can see!

Distances to popular places on the island:
Kona -55 miles
Hawi - 95 miles
Hilo -80 miles
Volcanos National Park - 38 miles
Captain Cook - 25 miles
South Point - 25 miles

For the security of our guests and our property, there are security cameras located on the outside corners of the home.

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.
