Enjoy your journey.

Our condo, maintenance, cleaning, and your booking are managed by an on-island management company that specializes in short term rentals and they are very much your point of contact and help in case of any needs that may arise during your stay.

This page is meant to provide a deeper dive somewhere between accessing the unit and the tourist guidebook. Settling into Kailua-Kona proper vs the resort life is part of what has made this lifelong experience so magical and we’d like to share some of what we’ve learned along the way.

Let’s get you settled in.

    Here’s an operators guide to #3-105.
