About this property

Dreaming of a peaceful Hawai‘i escape with breathtaking ocean views?

Welcome to your private island retreat in the lush Puna District. This home offers the perfect blend of comfort and adventure, perched near dramatic black lava cliffs, surrounded by swaying palms, and overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

Enjoy morning coffee with a view of the sunrise and ocean breezes, explore nearby black sand beaches, and unwind in a home designed for relaxation.

The space

This charming island home is the perfect retreat for your tropical getaway. Featuring two cozy bedrooms with queen-sized beds and a bright bathroom complete with a relaxing bath/rain shower combo and a lighted single vanity, comfort is always close at hand. Need to catch up on work? A dedicated office space makes it easy to stay connected.

The well-equipped kitchen has everything you need to whip up delicious meals, while the living room offers a Roku TV with Wi-Fi and Chromecast for your entertainment. Step outside to the covered lanai, where you’ll find a barbecue grill, comfortable seating, and a dining table — perfect for enjoying ocean breezes and unforgettable views.

Located in the peaceful Puna, it's just 45 minutes from Hilo Airport and about an hour from the awe-inspiring Volcanoes National Park — close enough for adventure, yet far enough for true relaxation.

Laundry is shared with the private and separate ground floor apartment.

Guest access

Guests have access to two bedrooms and one bathroom, office, living room, kitchen, lanai laundry room( laundry is shared with the downstairs apartment) and garage.

Our primary bedroom is locked and not accessible to guests.

Other things to note

Our island is nicknamed the Big Island for good reason — it's more than twice the size of any other Hawaiian island. Because of its size and the many incredible places to explore, a rental car is essential. The good news? Free parking is included with your rental.

Kitchen was equipped beautifully, other than coffee filters for the coffee maker. The ocean view was beautiful but would have been nice to know that the shore front is a sheer cliff without access to the water. Over all it was very nice accommodations.

This is the most comfortable, well stocked home we have ever rented. The pictures are a true representation of the property. The home was very clean and communication with the host was great!
