HOUSE GUIDELINES 🌺

QUIET HOURS -

Barefoot Kona is located in a peaceful residential community with many full-time neighbors. Quiet hours are from 9:00 PM to 8:00 AM. During these hours, please keep noise to a minimum, especially when enjoying the lanai and outdoor spaces. Per HOA and Hawaii County hosting rules, parties, events, and large gatherings are not permitted.

NON-SMOKING HOUSE - This is a non-smoking home. If you choose to smoke, please do so away from the property and in a location that does not disturb our neighbors.

ISLAND LIVING & CONSERVATION - Hawaii's natural resources are precious. We kindly ask that you help us conserve water and electricity during your stay.

The home stays comfortable with ceiling fans and natural cross ventilation from open windows. Each bedroom also has its own A/C unit for your comfort. Please turn off A/C units when leaving a room.

SAND AWAY - We hope you enjoy Hawaii's beautiful beaches! Before entering the home, please shake sand from towels, swimsuits, and beach gear. Please also remove sand before washing beach items.

This helps keep the floors clean, protects the washing machine, and keeps the drains clear.

KEEPING ISLAND CRITTERS OUT - The home is professionally treated monthly, but Hawaii's tropical environment means bugs are part of island life.

Please help by keeping food stored in the refrigerator or sealed containers and wiping up crumbs, spills, and standing water in the kitchen.

POLL, TENNIS COURT & PRIVATE BEACH ACCESS - Your stay includes access to the community pool, tennis court, and private lava rock beach area shared by only 16 homes. A physical key provided at check-in will give you access to these amenities.

Please note:
Pool hours are 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM.
There are no lifeguards at the pool or beach. Please swim and use the beach area at your own risk.
Proper tennis shoes are required on the tennis court.

PARKING - The HOA does not allow street parking. Please park only in the driveway.

NO ROOF ACCESS- For your safety, the roof area outside the upstairs lanai is strictly off limits. Please follow the posted signs on the railing.

TRASH & RECYCLING - There are two outdoor bins located just outside the kitchen window. Please separate trash and recycling and place each item in the appropriate bin.

For larger amounts of trash or recycling, the community collection containers are located outside the main gate on Ali'i Drive, to the right as you exit the community. Please securely tie all trash bags and break down cardboard boxes before placing them in the bins. The gate code provided in your check-in instructions will allow you to exit the community.

ENJOY THE EXTRAS We have stocked Barefoot Kona with thoughtful amenities to help you make the most of your stay.

Inside the home you will find extra pillows, blankets, and air mattresses in the bedroom closets.

For families traveling with little ones, we provide a high chair, bathroom step stools, baby bathtub, Pack 'n Play, and stroller.

For your island adventures, feel free to use the striped pool/beach towels, beach chairs, boogie boards and life jackets.

We also provide two tennis rackets and tennis balls for the community tennis court. Please remember to wear proper tennis shoes while playing.

You will find board games, children's books, and puzzles in the cabinet under the TV. We hope your family enjoys them.

A yoga mat and yoga block are available in the family room for anyone who would like to stretch, relax, or practice yoga during their stay.

Thank you for treating Barefoot Kona with the same care and respect you would give your own home.

We hope you have an incredible stay filled with beautiful beaches, amazing adventures, and unforgettable memories.

Mahalo! 🌺
