Aloha and welcome to my precious gem of a home on the Big Island of Hawaii. Its 7 private acres have sweeping views of the ocean, sunset, and moonset and sits perched above the sacred Kealakekua Bay, where wild spinner dolphins love to frequent.
Nature is vibrant and alive in this haven of privacy, but within a 10 minute drive you can find grocery stores, farmer's markets, world class snorkelling, numerous cafes/restaurants, beautiful beaches and the famous Captain Cook Monument Hike.
My home has 3 full bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, a beautiful kitchen and dining area, a living room, a family room with TV (Netflix) and two twin floor mattresses for extra sleeping space, and a stunning covered Lanai. The house is 100% solar powered, and all appliances and kitchenware are new and well maintained.
The house is naturally ventilated, and the steady and cool breeze provides ideal temperatures throughout the day and night. Birdsong fills the air from sunrise to sunset, and after sunset the star gazing is spectacular.
A manual gate guides you into the property where there is covered parking for two cars. A giant Monkey Pod tree greets you and provides shade for additional vehicles.
Please Read a few things about my home to be aware of before putting in a booking request:
My guests are ideally nature lovers and should understand that part of this home’s magic is that it is on a rural, wild piece of earth, and with such living comes an inevitable fusing of the indoor world and the outdoor world. It is not outside the realm of possibility that the occasional centipede, spider, or other insect may make their way indoors. Guests agree to live in such a way that is conscious of not inviting additional creatures in (i.e. keeping screen doors closed, keeping compost/food waste in the freezer, avoiding having open food containers out for a long time, and cleaning up thoroughly after meals before going to bed each night).
My home is 100% solar powered (hooray for clean energy!) and while the system is very robust, guests especially in groups of 4+ agree to be conscious of energy usage while staying. This means opting to air dry towels and beach gear in the sunshine, and using the laundry machines sparingly (especially the dryer), and during the daytime.
The property requires landscaping, and my landscaper will likely come during your stay to make sure the land is well cared for. Additionally there are 3 horses who graze in the pasture, just beyond the fence line of the property.
Please do not put chef's knives or cooking utensils with wood handles in the dishwasher. Avoid food or coffee grinds down the sink, but instead into the large compost bowl in the freezer.
Internet: The internet is unlimited and works great for 1-2 people. Zoom calls and streaming has had no trouble being supported for one person. Should more than two people be using the internet at high bandwidths, it can become a bit spotty. If you are traveling with a group and have high demands for bandwidth, I recommend bringing a hotspot or being prepared to use cellular data.
Neighborly Awareness: Our Neighbors are an incredible family and our guests understand the importance of a long-term, neighborly relationship. Guests agree to drive into and out of the property slowly, and to observe quiet hours from 10pm-7am.
No fires in the fireplace.
Thank you and E komo mai, welcome home!
