The space for rent is the Solar Apartment, a separate, detached apartment adjacent to the Main house. The Solar Suite is a studio, 2 room apartment with its own parking, entrance and yard. Completed in June 2020, this space is approximately 630sf and consists of a studio bedroom with a queen size bed, custom dining table with 4 chairs, desk, pull out sofa couch and coffee table. The second room is the kitchenette with glasses, dishes, and silverware. Cooking is no issue, as there is an induction cooktop, full-sized microwave, dutch door oven, refrigerator with icemaker, coffee pot, and blender. There is a large custom closet. The luxurious bathroom has a private bidet toilet, and there is even a view of the ocean from the rain shower. The windows and doors all have screens so you can enjoy the breezes and sounds of the waves. This apartment rivals the best at any luxury hotel you can imagine, with all furniture, doors and windows custom made of teak, exposed beams in the ceiling, and special architect details throughout. Your panoramic view is unobstructed, with the Pacific Ocean only a stone's throw from your double french doors and private garden. The apartment is adjacent to the back lanai of the main house and the swimming pool. Guests do have full use of the main house pool and back lanai facility, and all garden spaces. A laundry facility is located onsite and available to guests through a concierge service. Weekly and monthly stays are discounted and include weekly cleaning and linen service.
While staying at the Solar Apartment, a typical day would start by drinking a cup of coffee or tea watching the most beautiful sunrise on the Pacific Ocean from your bed, the lower garden, or pool deck of Hale Laule'a. After coffee, go on a 2-mile round trip walk to Hakalau Beach Park taking in views of Mauna Kea, waterfalls and lush tropical plants. When you arrive at the beach, it will most likely be all yours as you explore the ruins of an old sugar plantation and look in amazement of the natural beauty of Hawaii. Once back, you can jump into the pool for a refreshing swim in the 25-meter lap lane or play a game of volleyball in the sports area of the pool. When done, settle into the lower garden on Hale Laule'a with a good book or do Yoga or meditation session in any of our four gardens. After lunch, walk the gardens, visit the farmers market, or arrange for an optional in-house experience. During the winter months, watch the whales frolic right off the property. At night, enjoy the back lanai of the main house by the fireplace, or get into the spa and watch the stars unfold. For privacy, head to the lower garden and sit by yourself surrounded by the ocean on three sides with waves crashing on the rocks below as you drift away to another world in one of the most beautiful spots on this earth. Anything you want is possible and arrangements can be made with the host.
Additional activity arrangements for guests can be made by host to include Horse Experience, a Land Experience or a Water Experience. You can also make a private appointment for Lifestyle Medicine consultation with Dr. Jennifer Walker. For special occasions, guests can arrange for private parties such as weddings or other intimate events.
