As of January 2021 the Solar System has been upgraded. Beautiful 1 Bedroom 1 Bath eco-friendly off-grid home built on an old lava flow out of 3 cargo containers. But once you step in this home you will have no idea you were inside former containers. It was built with quality and function in mind. There are 3 large sliding glass doors for an incredible breeze and views of the ocean & old lava landscape. We have large windows to view the Kīlauea Volcano.
The whole building is 2 homes. The other is a 3 Bedroom 1 Bath also available for rent. Providing for 12 adult guests total
This beautiful shipping container Home was built on an old lava flow. It’s has clear ocean views, an expansive view of Kīlauea volcano out the back, it’s eco-friendly in so many ways, off-grid utilities (solar power and UV filtered water catchment), surrounded by amazing lava landscape, awe inspiring night sky filled with more stars than you have ever seen before.
The home possesses so many cool features. The first wonderful piece of furniture is the highly functional sofa & ottoman that not only lifts up to provide storage but it also converts to a full size bed. You will also be drawn to the exquisite mango wood that was used for the countertops in the kitchen & bath. Once you see the pebble stone floored bathroom you will again be amazed at the size. Inside you find a one of a kind Petrified wood vessel sink sitting on a great piece of mango with mango wood bordered mirror. As you will see in the photos you get to enjoy a rain shower in the large shower enclosure. Then climb on the comfy mattresses on the bunk bed that was custom made by a local Hawaiian. You will find this home was built in such a unique and quiet place you might not want to leave.

This property was just what we were looking for on our trip. The directions to find the place were clear and it was way easier than we were anticipating from the other reviews. Views are great and the stargazing was fantastic since there’s no light pollution. If you’re looking for a getaway off the beaten path, this is the place for you. We loved our stay here!

The house and landscape were gorgeous. It was a unique feeling stepping on rock that’s only a few years old. Explored the lava plane and it was jaw dropping. However, as we returned, we were shouted at by the “grumpy neighbor”. Maybe we were in the wrong, but we tried staying out of the neighbor’s property. Regardless, would highly recommend, it was the only thing that rubbed us the wrong way

Off grid but not that far (20 minutes) from grocery and restaurants. The walk on the lava field is worth it!

Overall the property was as described. It was clean and was off grid however there were some things that did not work well for us.
When we arrived at the property there was no wifi. Not usually a big issue however in the unit there is no cell service and we had to leave to get messages through to Ron. At times we could not get them to go through due to the location of this property. It was recommended to keep the unit locked up for safety however when doing so there was no airflow leaving the unit very hot. The inability to keep the unit locked while sleeping and no cell service provided safety concerns for us therefore we did not stay after the first night.
If we were not concerned about being able to make or receive calls in case of emergency or keeping the unit locked while we slept it would have worked well for us.

A perfect escape from any touristy places…it is an unique experience to walk on the lava AND to sleep in a container! A perfect spot for star-gazing! The place is pleasantly clean and comfortable.
