Beautiful high-end home with views directly to the ocean below. Have your own private retreat within a secure, gated community in an expansive open home. Stay in perhaps one of the most unique homes in Hawaii where it rains into the house, filling the entry waterway. Walk under the copper rainfall screen, across the pond with seemingly floating carved rock steps. This home is all about celebrating the Hawaiian outdoors/indoors lifestyle. The living room and master bedrooms feature huge sliders opening up to the pool and hot tub area and astounding views of the ocean. Water features surround the home with waterfalls cascading into multiple coy ponds. Water is the reason you come to Hawaii, and the main reason to rent this home. You'll be surrounded by water from the moment you enter the home, from the entry pond, to the indoor rainfall feature, to the coy ponds, to pool and hot tub. The sounds of water envelop the home: the rain falls into the entry water feature, the waterfalls by the dining room aerate the multiple coy ponds, and the lava rock hot tub pours into the pool directly below it.
Like many Hawaiian homes, this unit does not have air conditioning (with the exception of the Ohana). Most every window in the home is screened and opens up to let in the fresh breezes. All rooms have fans, and you can cool off in the pool any time. This home is about being outdoors when you are indoors. Open up the windows, turn on the water features, and enjoy the sounds and feel of nature while gazing across the pool to the ocean. You'll probably spend more time on the expansive covered lanai than anywhere else. Brand new high-end patio furniture, a stainless steel grill, an outdoor section couch, misters, and the pool and hot, make this the place to be. *The home has recently been upgraded to have air conditioning! Due to the high electricity costs in Hawaii, a fee will automatically be added to your stay for Air Conditioning. Please keep all windows closed while the AC is on.*
The study is detached from the main home and provides a nice secluded area for members of your party that want more privacy. Attached to the garage, the study is a great place to go cool off under the air conditioning, read a book, or watch some TV. Offering 2 twin beds, it's a great location for members of your group that are on a different schedule as they can come and go without disturbing the group in the main house. There is no bathroom in the study, so guests will need to use one of the 3.5 bathrooms in the main house.
In order to protect you and the property we have partnered with Safely, a 3rd party screening and property insurance company. This screening is very quick and simply verifies your ID and checks against criminal and internal databases. It provides peace of mind should any small damage occur during your stay, and helps to eliminate credit card fraud. You should receive an email from Safely shortly after booking (please check your SPAM or junk mail). Please follow the included instructions to complete the process and verify your reservation. Special monthly rates for Safely Insurance and Screening are available for longer stays and may be added on to stays over 30 nights after booking. Please contact Moab Lodging Vacation Rentals with any questions.
While we love children, this home's unique water features aren't conducive to small kids. There are multiple water features, some indoors, that are not childproof. There are doors that open directly to waterfalls and coy ponds without railings. And the pool and hot tub are accessed directly from the living room. Finally, there is a drop-off from the back of the swimming pool adding to the beautiful melding of the pool and the ocean directly below. If you want to bring children, a waiver will be required, and we recommend children be at least 12 or older.
A picture ID and photo of credit card are required for all bookings. Bookings nearby may be subject to additional verification to avoid any parties or gatherings

By renting this home, you agree to all house rules and agree to pay all fines that may be assessed.
Please note that there is a ring doorbell that records video at the entry to the home. There is also a noise monitor installed at the home.
No parties are allowed at the home, and there are noise restrictions for the area. This is a nice neighborhood, with several full-time residents. We ask that you please respect your neighbors and refrain from loud music or loud get-togethers on the pool deck. Noise ordinances start at 9 PM each night and are strictly enforced by the on-site security and the police. Any noise complaints will result in a $1000 fine per report. The noise monitor will alert you if you exceed the noise limits at any time. A second alert will result in a $250 fine. Each subsequent noise alert will result in an additional $250 fine. Any tampering with the noise monitor will result in a $1000 fine.
Due to noise concerns, the built-in sound system at the home has been disabled, and may not be used by guests.
Because the home is mostly open to the outside at all times, we are unable to accommodate smokers. No smoking is allowed in the home, on the patios or lanais, in or around the garage, or on the lot itself. Smokers must be at least 250 ft from the home, completely off the property, and in the common area of the complex. This includes e-cigarettes and any product that produces smoke or vapor. There will be a $500 fine if the home smells of smoke or vapor on departure and if any cigarette butts or smoking paraphernalia are found on departure.
Cancellation Policy: A cancellation more than 30 days prior to arrival will result in a cancellation fee equal to our credit card processing fee of 3%. Any cancellation less than 30 days prior to arrival will result in a 100% penalty. If booking through a 3rd party vendor (Airbnb, VRBO) we will honor the cancellation policy on those sites.
