The Neighborhood:
**There is a new home being built on lot 26, two lots over. There is a finished home that sits between our home and the lot under construction. The community has strict working hours during the day and weekdays, but it is inevitable that you will hear some construction noise and see construction vehicles when driving by lot 26 and when looking that way from the driveway area of our lot.
Perched along the 13th hole of the iconic Mauna Kea Beach Golf Course, this home provides exclusive access to unparalleled resort amenities.

Getting Around:
The Big Island has much to see and do, and it is highly advised that Guests rent a car to take advantage of the many things this island has to offer. Hawaii Island does not have abundant public transportation, so renting a car is best. However, if you do not drive, you may consider hiring a charter tour, driver, or Uber.
