Property Overview
The Space
Aloha! ' Our private studio w/ A/C is a great place to stay because it is centered in between Kehena Beach & the new Pohoiki Beach and thermal ponds.
It is a wonderful home base if you are coming to see black sand beaches and the lava fields , just 6 miles down the road from us. Due to the recent Leilani Estates Eruption, we now have several black sand beaches in the area ( Kehena, Pohoiki, Mackenzie sea caves, Kaimu and Kapoho)
Pohoiki Beach is now a popular large family beach w/ thermal ponds.
Volcanoes National Park is just 1 hour away.
It has been the resting place to a world full of visitors from Canada, Germany, Israel, China, India, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, Europe, and others for 2 years now. If you are looking for a nice clean place to stay that is of good value, this is the place for you.
If you are on a budget and looking for a fully furnished completely private studio w/ private bath/small kitchenette & air-conditioning, this unit is it. The studio has two double beds, Direct TV, landline w/ free long distance, Wi-Fi internet. The kitchenette has MW, hotplate, pans, coffee maker, utensils, and a medium sized refrigerator. There is a gas & rock BBQ outside as well.
We do rent for a month at a time.
You can see the ocean from the studio 10 blocks away. It is walking distance to the Hele-on bus that will take you to Hilo for just $1.00 and it comes by 3x/day.
Many people come to the Puna district ( Kehena Beach, Kapoho, Pahoa and Kalapana) for the sunshine, peace and quiet, for nature walks, yoga and more. Puna is also known to experience less rain than other areas on this side of the island.
.

Nice spacious room with designated parking space, close to seashore and Black Sand Beach
Unfortunately we only stayed the one night, but the room was super nice.
Functional space that's a great value for the area
Nice little apartment, it had everything that we needed. It's in a very quiet area and the hosts are lovely who gave us loads of useful information about the local area.
We had a nice overnight stay in this studio near the newest beach
We visited the area with the main purpose of attending Uncle Robert’s Night Market, and this location was very convenient for that. The correspondence from the hosts was very detailed and instructions for getting there and checking in were very detailed and helpful. The WiFi was excellent. We spent the next morning exploring the beautiful vistas along the Red Road, and this was an excellent location for that as well. Would definitely recommend.
It’s a nice place, beach is accessible within a min drive. Night sky is beautiful because of less light pollution. Make sure to check out the restaurant down the road, not sure about dinner timings but for breakfast Acai is good. Great host, only suggestion for host is to limit instructions to one pager instead of multiple locations around the house :)
Wanted to stay somewhere interesting and this was it. The room itself is completely normal but the area around it is not. Room about size of of decent sized living room with two beds, kitchen with attached private bathroom. Just a few minutes from a black sand beach. Sky was dark enough to see the milky way at night if that gives you an idea of how out of way it is. Nothing by the sounds of the birds to wake up to. Feels like you get to experience a more local version of Hawai'i. Nearest town about 20-30 min car drive where there are multiple dining options. Just don't make the mistake we did and have an 8 am flight out of Kona. Easy drive, but makes for a very early morning.
Enjoyed this stay very much; good area near me son and his family in Pahoa; bohemian area, near black sand beach; small but perfect size, well appointed. Coffee on the deck in the mornings was great, great dark sky area, lush, green, comfortable. Will definitely return here!
Great quick stay, thanks.
