GOOD TO KNOW
- This is an adults-focused couples and solo retreat. For safety, our grounds include an unfenced deck and a pond, so the cottage is not suitable for children or infants.
- This is one of three cottages on the property. The yard, deck, and outdoor lounge are shared with other guests; your cottage, patio, and bathroom are private.
- We sit at about 500 ft elevation on the windward coast. Temperatures stay around 67 to 81°F with constant trade winds, so no air conditioning is needed.
- Being on the windward side, we stay clear of vog even during volcanic activity, and Lava Zone 8 keeps us safe from eruptions. You get some of the cleanest air anywhere.
- Nature is close. You may spot harmless geckos, wild chickens, or hear coqui frogs at night. Hawaii has no snakes and no venomous wildlife.
- We recommend drinking bottled water during your stay.
- A local guidebook with waterfalls, black-sand beaches, scenic drives, and food spots is provided.
As a registered Hawaii vacation rental, we are required to keep basic guest records, including names and valid government-issued IDs for all adult guests. This is like a standard hotel check-in and keeps us compliant with local law, taxes, and emergency procedures.
Mahalo for helping us keep your stay safe, legal, and stress-free.
