About the host
Hosted by Lois Mishich
Aloha! We are Lois and Dan, the proud owners of Surf Temple, and we'd like to take a moment to introduce ourselves. Our first trip to the Big Island was approximately ten years ago, and it was love at first sight. We were captivated by the island's natural beauty, diverse landscapes - from tropical forests to stunning (black, green, and white sand) beaches, and the overall welcoming aloha spirit.
We are passionate about our home and are thrilled to share it with others until we can call it our full-time residence when our youngest graduates from college. It brings us great joy to provide a comfortable and relaxing environment for our family and guests alike. As hosts, our goal is to ensure that your stay at Surf Temple and on the Big Island is nothing short of unforgettable.
We are committed to making your time here as memorable and pleasurable as possible. We look forward to welcoming you and helping you create memories that will last a lifetime.

For those who love swimming, Magic Sands Beach - a white sand beach - is less than a mile away. Our proximity to downtown, only four miles away, makes it easy for guests to explore the local area.
