Your space features a completely renovated, modern inside, and a resort-like feel with Island style yard complete with outdoor dining areas, gas BBQ grill, comfy loungers, and a large pool. <br /><br />The listing includes the entire split level home (excluding garage space) with three total bedrooms and three full baths. The upstairs is the main area consisting of large full stocked kitchen, dining area, living room area, and large patio with outdoor dining seating. There are two bedrooms upstairs, each with a king size mattress and its own bathroom. The main master bedroom also has a crib. The living room has a large couch and a twin size day bed. <br /><br />Downstairs, you can think of as being a separate apartment that has to be accessed from its own outdoor entrance. The downstairs has its own living room and kitchenette area, one bedroom, one bathroom, and separate laundry space. The downstairs bedroom has a queen size bed and a queen size fold out couch. The downstairs living room also has the same queen size fold out couch. Note there is no indoor connection from the upstairs and downstairs, you must access from the outside. This layout is perfect for multiple families or if you are traveling with adult children that want their own privacy. <br /><br />Our house is conveniently located, just a few minutes from beautiful, private Heeia Bay. In the summer, Heeia Bay is calm and peaceful - perfect for floating or snorkeling. In the winter, Heeia Bay lights up with some amazing surfing with minimal crowds (not suitable for beginners). Also nearby, Keauhou Bay is a short 5 minute walk. Keauhou Bay offers a calmer atmosphere, great for stand up paddle-boarding, playing in the volleyball court, or catching a sport fishing or manta ray charter. Kahaluu Beach is about a 20 minute walk (1 mile), offering beginner friendly surf rentals & lessons, and picturesque safe snorkeling with lifeguards on duty. Other beaches along Alii Drive are just a short bike (rentals available at Kahaluu) or drive away. Beach chairs, coolers, and beach toys all available for guest enjoyment. <br /><br />Also within walking distance is the Keauhou Shopping Center. The center features a movie theater, a pharmacy, full featured grocery store, and many restaurants including Thai, Mexican, and breakfast spots. On Saturday mornings, checkout the farmers market - complete with exotic local fruits such as passionfruit, mangos, dragonfruit, and more. This shopping center has the absolute best Sushi restaurant on the island, Kenichis as well as other restaurants. If those options were not enough, downtown Kona bars and restaurants are a short ten minute drive along beautiful Alii drive.<br /><br />Our home is best suited to responsible travelers. We do prefer travelers 21 minimum age to book our home. Guests arriving with more than the approved travelers will not be permitted to check in and no refunds will be given. Travelers that invite additional guests to the property, will not be permitted and the reservation cancelled immediately without refund. Request to book indicates full acceptance of all house rules.<br /><br /><b>Guest access</b><br />The entire 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom home is for you to use, including the enchanting backyard and pool. Parking is in the driveway or in front of home.<br /><br /><b>Other things to note</b><br />Absolutely no smoking or vaping anywhere on the property. <br /><br />Please don't leave out food overnight as much as possible. Ants and bugs get attracted to sugary things when left out. Please clean up sticky spills immediately to prevent from attracting bugs. Please close all sliding doors and make sure to use screens to keep the bugs out. They will come in if screens are left open. <br /><br />The wild song birds are VERY prevalent in our neighborhood. The birds are peaceful, but can be loud, especially as the sun rises (5 AM in the summer, a bit later in the winter). <br /><br />Coqui frogs may be heard at night. Coqui frogs are very common on all of Big island, but since we live at sea level, the frogs are far less prevalent. <br /><br />The house is equipped with ceiling fans, a portable floor fan, and many windows encouraging air flow. We also recently installed a small AC in all the bedrooms. That being said, the Kona heat may be uncomfortable for some especially in the summer. <br /><br />Hawaii is a tropical environment, full of critters such as Geckos, moths, centipedes, roaches, and ants. We treat our property with organic products, and strive to keep a clean environment including removing all trash nightly. That being said, you may see an occasional critter that we can remove upon request.<br /><br /><b>Registration Details</b><br />GE-009-080-0640
