It has a wonderful distant ocean view and it's less than 10 minutes from the Kalapana Lava fields, 20 minutes to Pohoiki and 3 minutes to Kehena Beach. Due to the recent eruption, Puna now has several black sand beaches ( Kehena, Pohoiki, Mackenzie Beach and sea caves, Kaimu and Kapoho beaches. Some hiking required to Mackenzie and Kapoho Beaches. All beaches in Puna are black sand w/ rock. Kehena and Pohoiki are the best beaches and are nearby.
Nice, Big House has been the home to visitors around the world for about 10 years now and many return to this wonderful and well kept home.
It's a wonderful place to stay if you want to be centered in the Puna District of Hawaii (Kalapana), which is one of the most beautiful places on earth.
This is a sunny spot of the island where there is less rain! Although it rains much less down here, our area remains green and beautiful.
Many people come to Puna to visit Volcano National Park - home of Kilauea and the periodic lava flows and beaches.
There are also Hawaiian jungles, tropical rain forests, beautiful coastal views, thermal ponds at Pohoiki, surfing/ snorkeling, whale watching due to migration to warm Hawaiian waters during winter months.
You can often see them from land swimming off our beautiful coast and at the Kehena Beach view point.
Many of my tenants tell me that they were able to swim w/ dolphins and you can too.
For those of you who are seeking night time entertainment, check out 'Uncles Outdoor Hawaii Bar' if you want to sip a beer, listen to live Hawaiian music, eat great food and enjoy a farmers market at the same time.
Kilauea Volcano is just a 45-60 minute drive.
In addition, the KaMauna Caves are on the way where you can walk through huge lava tubes.
The unit is situated in a safe, quiet & friendly Hawaiian neighborhood off Kalapana-Kapoho Rd.

Many people come to Kalapana to 'get away from it all and breath clean air, eat great food, soak up the sunshine, exercise, commune with nature, and meet some wonderful people.

Not bad, termite poop in cabinets, ants on counters
Awesome amazing home located on the remote side of the island. Had a great stay.!
Great neighborhood. Quiet and beautiful view. This was a great location for what we wanted to do. Comfortable beds and well stocked kitchen. My only problem was we were trying to play games at the dining table and the lights were very dim. We used our cell phone flashlights to light it up more.
We enjoyed this property while visiting our son . There was plenty of room for our family to be together. The location enabled us to go to the beach and hot ponds . It was a pleasurable experience. Thank you Andre and Susan for sharing your home with us .
Information from host was very helpful.
Beauty surrounds this house. The hosts are friendly and accommodating, and the house is big. We enjoyed our stay.
My family of 4 had a wonderful stay for two nights at this property. The home was spacious and well-stocked, and the location was perfect for exploring the Kalapana/Pahoa/Pohoiki area. Check in was a breeze, and communication from the owners was extremely helpful. We would definitely stay here again!
Very accommodating
We enjoyed this house. It is really unusual in a good way. The whole area is very earthy and unique. This house fit the 5 of us easily and has what you need. We drank the water through a Britta, but they suggest you don’t. Keep that in mind if you are worried about it. The thermal pools are a variety of hot temperatures. They would be more fun when it is cool out. We happened to go when it was hot. The views from MacKenzie State Park are amazing, and the beach nearby has a little bit of a steep hike down (we didn’t have trouble) and clothing optional…keep that in mind. Overall, the space is great. The covered porch is wonderful in the morning. The hosts were helpful as well.
The house was very nice! Communication with Andre and Susan was returned immediately. Loved listening to the animals through the night. Thank you for sharing your home with us!!
