great job! is there a kitchen? i used to live in hilo. heading back to the BI in may. i look forward to seeing it on air bnb. again, great job, love your decor.
I love it. I have a question and please forgive me as I am a Midwesterner. Why do Hawaiian residents and other Island cultures use those glass blinds that open up to the outside, then sleep under netting? Screens are less attractive, but they seem like they’d be more practical in keeping bugs out. Is it a cultural thing?
In Tahiti it is a cultural thing, they feel that they are closer to nature if there are no screens to keep out all the air and in fact nowhere are there screens in houses, even high end ones. So the mosquito nets are a must. In Hawaii, 99% of people have screens on the outside of their glass blinds, because we are more “Westernized”. There is a certain charm to no screens but it does let more bugs in that’s for sure.
I’m interested in this… Can you please email me? How much are you asking?
Hey Eric it’s actually not for sale but mid summer it will be available on airbnb as a vacation rental 🙂
beautiful

I’d like some more info on this as a rental for Feb 2015.
I am madly in love with this amazingly well planned and organized house on the big island! Wowza! I could live in such a place and be perfectly happy!
