If you’re a light sleeper, earplugs can be helpful.<br />While the home is regularly treated, Hawaii’s tropical climate means you may occasionally see local critters like geckos 🦎, mosquitos 🦟, sugar ants 🐜, carpenter bees 🐝, scorpions, or cockroaches.<br /><br />This is a normal part of island living, and many guests enjoy the feeling of being close to nature. 🌿🌈
