*NEW* Pahoa Oceanfront Home for Sunrise and Rugged Coast Days

Pahoa · Big Island · 3 bedrooms · 2 bathrooms · Sleeps 6 · 165 reviews

Rental Details

Rental Overview

Summary:

Here, the Pacific is not a distant view. It is the sound behind breakfast and the horizon beyond the back deck. This oceanfront Pahoa home has three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and room for six, with a kitchen, laundry, and outdoor seating for taking in the eastern Big Island's sunrise light and volcanic shoreline. Spend a morning in Pahoa town, follow the coast toward black-sand beaches, or plan a longer day for Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, then return to an oceanfront setting that feels far from resort traffic. WiFi and a garage add practical ease, but the reason to choose this home is more elemental: you can watch the ocean change from your own deck. It is especially good for a family or three couples who want a quieter, rawer side of the island.

The Space:

The home has three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and space for six guests. Ocean and water views are the focal point, with outdoor seating and a back deck for sunrise watching or a quiet break between outings. Inside, tile floors, a kitchen, dining table, WiFi, washer and dryer, and ceiling fans support a comfortable stay. The description avoids assuming any unverified appliance finishes or kitchen-island details.

Guest Access:

This oceanfront Pahoa home has a private entrance, garage, and outdoor seating area facing the sea. The setting is made for taking in the rugged shoreline and open-water views.

The Neighborhood:

Pahoa is on the Big Island's east side, where lava landscapes, rain, and the Pacific create a very different experience from the dry Kona coast. The town is useful for supplies and a local meal, while the Puna coastline rewards travelers who enjoy a drive and changing scenery. Isaac Hale Beach Park and the black-sand shoreline around the district are natural places to explore, and Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park is a major day trip. This is a quieter, car-oriented area for guests who want the island's wilder coastal character.

Getting Around:

Hilo International Airport is about 30 minutes away, making for a relaxed drive through the Puna countryside. A rental car is essential here, as Pahoa's beaches, shops, and dining are spread across the district. The small town center offers a few walkable blocks of local shops and eateries. Parking is easy and typically available on site or along the street near most homes.

Other Things to Note:

This property is managed by Heavenly Vacations.

Beautiful home and the location is amazing! Didn’t want to leave!

Right on the ocean cliff, unobstructed 180 degree view of ocean, sea spray from waves breaking on lava! There are some things I would like others to know about this property, that is not in the listing. The master bedroom has a king size bed, the driveway is very steep and a taller vehicle may not fit into the garage, there is a full size refrigerator in the garage, so food storage is ample. There is a closet full of beach goodies, including 2 large coolers, 7 beach chairs, 4 beach umbrellas, 2 snorkel set-ups, a set of flippers, many boogie boards . Does no have a barbecue grill and there is no way to directly access the ocean from this house, no stairs or gate. Overall, if you want to be close to the ocean, with the sound of crashing waves, this is the place!

The location is amazing. You can sit and watch the ocean all day, crashing surf creating rainbows in the waves, from the amazing deck. The photo doesn't do it justice - you are right on the sea.Also the interior is brilliant. Yes, no AC, but it really doesn't matter - I don't like the heat but there is so much ocean breeze and fans everywhere.

The crashing waves of the ocean was very much a part of this experience!The listing of the property did not mention the fact that 2 of the bedrooms were upstairs - steep stairs to be climbed. I should have been told about the stairs in the listing as not everyone in my party could do that.

The deck, the location right on the waters edge, and THE VIEW!!! Pods of dolphins swimming by in the mornings, distant rainstorms in the evenings. The outdoor dinning table under the expansive overhang kept us dry and able to enjoy our meal. The stargazing was out of this world from out there as well. Thought the Coqi frogs might have been an issue after reading the reviews but we loved them and miss hearing there voices now were gone. Not sure if the description mentions it but there is beach gear, and sundries like oil, and rice which were both a heartfelt surprise. As well as many homey touches like the kukui nut lei, the hand rolled beach towels, games, puzzles and decor throughout. This was our first Vacasa experience and it was all so easy they’ve won over our business. From the touchless entry and hands off arrival & checkout the toilet paper flower in the half bath. Friendly neighbors on one side and no one at home the 5 nights we were there. Quiet property at the end of the road with garage the sounds of the ocean waves lulling you to sleep. Surprisingly there were many local fishers casting off the formidable 10ft lava cliffs most nights and all night one night. Was fun to watch them casting with glowing lures. Location was easy to come and go exploring Pahoa, Puna, the east rift zone, Volcanoes NP and Hilo. Would highly recommend Nings Thai restaurant in Pahoa, so good and super spicy if you like that which I do we had to go a couple times! Could not have

This house exceeded our expectations. The view is amazing and the house is nice and clean. It is away from the populated areas and is just what we needed. We loved watching for turtles in the waves. The breeze coming in at night was amazing after long days exploring the island.

Location was quiet, and relaxing. Just the right distance to volcano and Hilo to feel like you’re on a vacation away from the hustle and bustle. Split bedroom design great for families as kids were nestled upstairs while adults could still chat and enjoy the deck. Outdoor space was comforting but be prepared splashes do occur!! Yes it’s that close to the waves crashing in.

Probably the most beautiful place I've ever stayed - but not the most expensive, by any means. Directly on the ocean. You can sit on the lanai and feel the spray on your face. The house itself is quite beautiful. If you want a place to stay on the Big Island that you won't want to leave, even to go to dinner - this is it. And at a reasonable price. Couldn't be happier.

Loved staying here! So wonderful to hear the ocean day and night. The view was wonderful. Sunrise each morning was a special treat. This place is a slice of heaven.

Loved the home and the views as well as the walk to the bluffs at the nearby park - even though the waves and weather kept us off the deck most of our stay.

This is a very nice property overlooking a beautiful lava rock oceanside cliff. Sitting on the deck watching the waves crash was one of our favorite things! The awesome power of nature was just stunning! Nice neighborhood...did some walks and a run in the area. Very spacious master bedroom and bathroom on main floor. Nice bathroom and two bedrooms upstairs. Bonus half bath on the main floor. The property was pleasantly decorated and had all the basic amenities needed. One of the fans in one of the bedrooms was not working and we notified Vacasa. Didn't think they were going to bring us a new one, so we went ahead and bought a box fan at Walmart as there is no AC and the bedrooms needed air circulation and some kind of white noise. Hoping they reimburse us for that as we left the fan there. Otherwise, my only "concern" is the floors in the property and some areas of the house, particularly the kitchen, needed more cleaning...deep cleaning. There were a lot of different hairs around the whole house. I know...gross. But I believe it is probably hard to get all that up with the humid/sticky air and everything sticks to the floors and walls and such. Washer and dryer in the garage was a nice bonus!That being said, I would absolutely stay there again!! I would probably just do a quick cleaning "once over" when I arrived. Also, loved being on the Hilo side of the island. The Kona side was very touristy and busy. This was more low key and close to our areas of interest!

Location is amazing. The patio sitting on the waters edge was a delight, and watching the turtles from there after a day at the beach was a perfect nightcap. No a/c was tough with the heat this month, only thing that made it tough for a few hours in the afternoon/evening. Otherwise a great house.

1. **Location and View**: The location offers a great beach view, which was enjoyable, especially during sunrise with morning coffee. 2. **Climate and Ventilation**: The climate, although humid and hot in the mornings, was manageable with open windows at night, allowing for a good breeze. 3. **Cleanliness**: The house was as neat and clean overall, but there were concerns about stinky smells in household vessels and some areas. 4. **WiFi Connectivity**: There were persistent issues with WiFi from day one. Despite a technician's visit, there was no improvement throughout your stay. While the location and view were positives, issues such as poor WiFi connectivity and occasional odors in household items detracted from our experience. These aspects are crucial for future guests to consider, especially those dependent on reliable internet access. It might be beneficial for Vacasa to address these concerns promptly to enhance overall guest satisfaction.
