Since you <br /><br />Yard: very expansive grassy yard with unblocked ocean views. <br /><br />We encourage guests to research and expect that we live on the ocean in a tropical climate--Hilo is the more humid side of Big Island, which we love for the soft air, but can mean more rainfall. Birds, geckos and insects are common and will occasionally sneak close to the house. Though they are harmless, we take great pains to keep our house pest-free and pride ourselves on keeping a clean home. Coqui frogs are now a characteristic of HIlo, they are never seen but gently sing every night for a few hours starting at dusk. Expect to fall asleep to the sound of waves every night... and every day is a chance to watch the sun start a new day if you want to wake up that early!<br /><br /><b>Guest access</b><br />The guests have sole access to the main house, which consists of two levels. The garage and detached studio buildings are locked and reserved for the owner—there is still plenty of guest parking. <br /><br />The yard, pool and sauna are exclusively for the guests, with only the occasional service crew or owner visit to provide maintenance.<br /><br /><b>Other things to note</b><br />There are absolutely no events, or other commercial use of property allowed.<br /><br /><b>Registration Details</b><br />STVR-19-364062
