This old Hawaiian home is an architectural rarity. Most Hawaiian homes were
built to satisfy the needs sugar plantation workers. They were housed in
camps where land was a premium so the lots were very small. This
home, has acreage and ten foot ceilings; so it was the home of someone with
means. We have brought back the old garden full of ginger and ti plants set off
by a huge banyan tree with companion banana and coffee trees as well.There is a basketball hoop, volleyball net,croquet set,and pingpong table for fun as well as games and books and cable TV.
We are located a half hour North of Hilo (pronounced HEE
LOW) and are forty-five minutes from Hapuna beach designated one of the world's ten best
beaches. WE are five minutes from Lapauhoehoe point where there is a boat
ramp permitting ocean access. One of the truly great things about this place is
that it is on the rainy side so it is very green; however, we are in a special
belt where the rain mostly comes at night and is about a third of what Hilo
gets. Hilo is the oldest city in the state of Hawaii and the second largest city after Honolulu. It
has only 50000 people and a quaint and lovely old town. There is lots to
do here, but there is no need to do anything. We will gladly direct you to
all the hidden and lovely beaches and river water holes we know of. We'll
provide you with an itinerary of what is happening during your stay. Then
we'll let you enjoy the luxury of ignoring all of that and simply sleep in and
soak in the beauty and perfect weather. |

We
have modernized the home but we have also kept many of its antique touches.
In the same spirit, the furniture is modern and comfortable, but there are some
real period Hawaiian antiques. Because we are right on the ocean, there is
usually a breeze outside. Each room has a ceiling fan which enables you to have
the same tropical weather indoors. |

We have separated the bathroom so as to provide lavatory and bath access while the toilet is in use.
