Property Overview
Kehena Treetop Bungalow – Close to Kehena Black Sands Beach
Kehena Treetop Bungalow is a tropical paradise, nestled in among lush green foliage and fruit trees. You’re going to enjoy the beautifully refinished hardwood floors and the tropcial décor.
This house is the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of the traditional vacation areas, so forget about having to fight traffic and congestion with other visitors. When you’re not out enjoying the beauty and experiences of the Big Island, you’ll enjoy staying “home” and lounging on the lanai in the hammock, or just sitting at the table reading a good book.
Perfect for a couple or family, the master bedroom is split into two rooms to easily accommodate the two queen beds, wardrobe, desk, and walk-in closet, with lots of room to spare! And the futons in the living room can provide additional sleeping space for children, if needed. Starlink internet w/Wifi, a selection of books and DVDs (for both adults and children) are available for your entertainment.
A full kitchen is well equipped with all your cooking and dining needs, including a blender, microwave, and rice cooker. With a 4-person dining table, additional pub-style table in the kitchen, and breakfast bar, there is ample space for dining in comfort. And while this house, like most of the island, is on a water-catchment system, the home features a top-of-the-line water filtration and UV purification system.
In addition to the inside bathroom with shower, an additional screened outside shower (complete with hot water) allows you to easily rinse off the sand from the beach while enjoying the sounds of nature. You’ve got it all in Paradise!
Please expect to share your space with some of our friendly Hawaii geckos, lizards, coqui frogs, birds, and plants.

Reviews
We enjoyed our stay, I felt like I was in the rain forest!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved this little house - loved the coqui frogs, the rain forest, well equipped kitchen. We purposely chose it to be further away from the Hilo busy area but it’s still close enough to Pahoa if you have a car so you can pick up groceries etc. Close to a small black sand beach. Also good for visit the nearby beaches/shops of Hilo if you have a car. And don’t forget the Volcano National Park. We were lucky to be there when the volcano was active and got to view the eruptions - amazing!

Our only issue was noise from the adjacent road.
Very comfy, full kitchen, nice lanai space, great entertainment system...:)...
We brought our kids on a Hawaiian vacation, and we LOVED our stay! It was fully stocked, clean, and a great location. We enjoyed the neighborhood kitty, and the relaxing environment of the home. Would highly recommend to any travelers!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a lovely bungalow, in a nice quiet neighborhood close to beaches and to Hilo. It's a bit of a drive from town but thoroughly enjoyed being far from tourist traps and resorts. The local wildlife song of frogs and birds lulled us to sleep every night. Very timely response from the property manager as well when we couldn't figure out the hot water. Would def stay again!
Very authentic little house in the middle of the nature. Well maintained even that it is a bit older. The fresh air is amazing, no air conditioning needed. However the location is a bit too far in the nature (long distance, moskitos, geckos) for us, also the bed size could be bigger. We enjoyed the experience here.
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was lovely, in the trees as described, with all the amenities. We were a little disappointed that it was right on a fairly busy road on one side and very close to the neighbor on the other. The black sand beach right up the way and that was wonderful, otherwise not too much in the area as places to eat. Bring your own to fix. We had to shorten our trip as the rains were coming down in torrents. Sorry that was the case. Loved the outside shower
Our family usually likes to stay in out of the norm places, where there isn't a lot of traffic, people, tourists, etc. This was perfect! It is quite the drive from most of the "sights" on the island, but that's part of the fun in exploring new places. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had all the appliances necessary, and we enjoyed spending time in this bungalow after dark, where the insects, birds, toads, and more could be heard. We all slept so well to those sounds. My son's favorite part was reading in the hammock. My daughter's was finding all the geckos and naming them all. It was lovely to have access to laundry room, beach toys, a cooler, and an outdoor shower. When our plane arrived, we got a text from our host, Jolanta, who welcomed us and let us know if we had questions, shed be able to help. We didnt need to reach out, as everything was communicated so well ahead of time. It's a perfect stay on the Island and we will definitely be back! Mahalo!
