This “kitchen” is adorable, extremely clean, and unique,...

The Poolhouse (Waikoloa Village) (NO LONGER ALLOWS PETS)

The Poolhouse (Waikoloa Village) (NO LONGER ALLOWS PETS)

NOTE: Unfortunately, a few irresponsible dog owners have taken advantage of this dog-friendly AirBnB, causing extensive damage, so the owner no longer allows pets. Accommodations: 1-bedroom 1-story studio unit (accommodates 2 people) with full kitchen and bathroom with walk-in shower (and outdoor shower) in Waikoloa Village (in walking distance of Waikoloa Elementary School) and a large POOL for you and your dogs’ use! Cost: $155 to $165/night (2 night minimum stay) + $75 cleaning fee. Website: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1714262 Contact: Kelsey through the above Air BnB link. Fence:  YES…completely fenced-in!  Since there is a pool, County code requires a fence with latching gate.  From the parking area, you will walk through a gate and walk down two flights of outdoors patio stairs to the pool deck where The Poolhouse is located.  NOTE: If you have an elderly dog who cannot navigate stairs, you will have to carry him/her down the stairs.  Once you reach the pool deck at the bottom of the stairs, then it will be easy for any dog to...

Ala Kahakai Trail (Access Point: Spencer Beach Park)

Ala Kahakai Trail (Access Point: Spencer Beach Park)

Location: Ala Kahakai Trail is a 175-mile long trail broken up into segments.  Spencer Beach Park is just one access point that is 3 miles long, ending at Hapuna Beach.   ***NOTE: Dogs are prohibited in any County of Hawaii beach park, including Spencer Beach Park.  While many of us have hiked with our dogs from Spencer Beach Park, we have been (innocently) doing so under the radar due to a lack of County Parks & Recreation employees present at Spencer Beach.  We are currently looking into options, possibly other access points that welcome dogs.  I have been talking with both Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail personnel and DLNR (who has also has jurisdiction over the Na Ala Hele trail system) to see if we can find a solution.  Mauna Kea Resort will not allow any dogs on property, so that entrance is not an option either.  It’s interesting and a predicament…The person at the guard shack told me to enter from Spencer Beach Park “since no one from...
