Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by candi baker

Aloha , as the caretaker of Maka Nui of which I am privileged to do. I have been on property for 31 years & lived on the Big Island for 33 So feel free to call with any questions you might have & I would be happy to help.
Why they chose this property
Maka Nui is country but close enough (15-20 minutes) to night life . It has all the stores to get supplies here & great restaurants so we get the best of both worlds.
What makes this property unique
First are the mascots Frick & Frack (dogs) They love to meet new folks as is always a chance to get treats! Then the sounds of birds & palms rustling in the breeze. Of course the pool & fruits are always a plus! And we are always around to answer any questions. As the pool /gardeners & coffee workers there is always something to do.
