🏝️ House Notes
Airflow, windows & island living
- When you’re out for the day, feel free to leave the lanai door open as long as the screen door is closed.
- Geckos occasionally make surprise appearances. That’s normal in Hawaii.
- Despite regular pest control, you may occasionally see ants, small flies, or the rare cockroach.
- The living room jalousie windows can be left slightly angled downward to improve airflow while helping keep rain out.
❄ Bedroom AC & electric blinds
Please do not move the bedroom AC unit. It is secured for proper exhaust and condensation drainage.
- Use the AC mainly in the evenings, about 30 minutes before bed, and while sleeping.
- Close the jalousie windows and the bedroom door when using the AC.
- The ceiling fan helps keep the room comfortable through the night.
- The bedroom blinds are electric and controlled by the remote mounted next to the window.
- Press the down arrow once to lower the blinds and the up arrow once to raise them.
- Please do not remove the remote from its holder.
🏖️ Beach gear & linens
- Beach chairs and a beach umbrella are in the bedroom closet.
- Beach towels are in the linen closet next to the washer/dryer.
🍳 Kitchen notes
- Please hand-wash the knives in the knife block.
- Please hand-wash the Henckels frying pans.
- Everything else, within reason, is dishwasher-safe.
- Beach coolers are available, and ice packs are in the freezer.
🧺 Laundry
- Please do not use liquid fabric softener in the washer.
- Please do not use dryer sheets in the dryer.
- Two dryer balls are provided. Please leave them in the dryer.
- Leave the washer door slightly ajar when not in use to reduce moisture and keep it fresh.
🚪 Bedroom door
- Please keep the bedroom door propped open when unoccupied using the black rubber door stopper.
- This helps airflow and prevents the door from slamming when the Kona tradewinds blow through.

There’s a bottom-load water cooler in the kitchen.
Refills are about $2 at:
- Shell Gas Station – 75-5675 Kuakini Hwy
- Walmart Parking Lot (SE corner) – 75-1015 Henry Street
Our cleaner often fills the bottle before guests arrive, so you may not need to refill it.

💛 A Small Personal Note
This is our actual home, not just a rental property. While we do our best to tuck away personal items before guests arrive, there may still be a few belongings visible or accessible.
We kindly ask that you respect these personal items and not use anything that clearly appears personal. Mahalo nui loa — we really appreciate it.
Aloha, Michael & Wendy
