Kalapana Vacation Rentals, Big Island

Quiet, Tropical Retreat On The Puna Coast

Let the soft rhythm of the nearby surf and the aroma of jungle flowers lull you into relaxation as you enjoy the spacious lanai of this new (2013) open concept home in Seaview Kalapana Estates. Our home is located on a secluded, dead end street, and is filled with sunshine all day. Once on the lanai, where you may well spend all your leisure time, you will look out to jungle and traditional ohia trees. Meals can be cooked on the Weber grill and served at the large table, with seating for six. Off one side of the lanai, through double french doors, you enter the great room, with large windows that offer views out to the jungle. Here is where you can gather with friends and family while you relive the day's adventures and cook up a gourmet meal in the fully equipped kitchen, with gas range set into the large granite-topped island, microwave, full fridge, and dishwasher. When it is time to sleep, there is the colorful bedroom with queen size bed (and direct access to the lanai through double french doors), a Scandinavian sofa that reclines to form a full size bed, or the queen size murphy bed on the lanai, should you or family want to sleep outdoors. The large bathroom, adjacent to the bedroom and just past the stacked washer/dryer, has a tiled shower and plenty of counter space. You may decide to skip the indoor shower and exit through the bathroom door to the bamboo enclosed outdoor shower! This is the best place to wash off sand after a visit to the nearby, family friendly, and clothing optional Kehena black sand beach. For evening entertainment, enjoy your favorite movie on the 32 inch flat screen with DVD player. If you are here over a Wednesday, a short drive will find you at Uncle Robert's Kava Bar where you can enjoy treats from local chefs, sway to the Hawaiian rythmn of slack key and ukulele, or just relish the sense of community.
