About this property
Kick Back and Kick Your Shoes Off
Extra clean fully furnished 920 Square feet two bedroom upstairs apartment
450 square feet covered lanai
When we say fully furnished we mean fully furnished
Coffee maker, cooking utensils, linens, towels, toilet paper, paper towels, alarm clocks, lamps, dishes, full size refrigerator, range , disposal, dish washer, air conditioning in each bedroom, and more.
Two blocks South of the Ironman Bicycle Turnaround
Village atmosphere
Large variety of activities, restaurants, hiking, snorkeling, bicycling, surfing, swimming, music, sky diving, and beaches close by.
We can guide you to many guided ocean activities such as Manta Ray dives, snorkeling, horse back riding, zip line, and more.
Easy access with lighted free parking.
Private lighted entrance.
Free use of washer & dryer on premises
Allergy aware
Free wi-fi
Professional bicycle repair shop on premises
Bicycle repair shop is small and quiet. Not a big retail shop. We just take care of the locals.
They break them and we fix them.
We are also a Certified Bike Fitter.
You do not need to ride bikes to stay here but we are fully equipped to take care of any bicycle needs you may have
Packages available include:
If you ride your bike to a resort and tip a couple to many we will come and rescue you one time for free
A few years back we decided to go to the 1st annual Catalina Jazz Festival
We made our reservations eight months in advance and paid for them
We stayed one night and then they moved us into another room
You know: We really did not appreciate having to repack to move
We hate surprises like that when we are in need of R&R
And we are sure that you feel the same way
We will go the extra mile to make sure that does not happen to you here!!!
Since we believe that the definition of a Lady and a Gentleman is:
Someone who is interested in the comfort of others before themselves.
We understand that some flights get in late and there is nothing open between the airport and here. So we always leave a snack for our tired and hungry travelers.

About the host
Hosted by Larry & Betty Skinner
My name is Larry Skinner
I am a retired carpenter from the carpenter's union
I have been in Hawaii since 2013
We have been remodeling ever since with more to do
My wife's name is Betty Skinner
She comes from a ranch background in Oregon
That is where I found her
Her Father thought that I was watching the cows
We have been together for 35 wonderful years
She is now and always will be my compliment
We have traveled North America extensively
How we got here is still a bit of a mystery
But it's all good

Why they chose this property
Actually the idea of turning this into a vacation rental came about with the idea of what to do in retirement
So we live in the downstairs apartment that contains the bicycle shop
So needless to say ,"I don't think that we are retired anymore."

What makes this property unique
This is a newer home that is perfectly suited as a vacation rental
The weather is without a doubt the most comfortable on the Island
It is cooler then the West desert side and dryer then the East jungle side
The VOG that is produced by the Kilauea volcano's constant eruption is kept at bay by our trade winds on the North side
The volcano is approximately 100 miles from here
JUST RIGHT !!!
