Relax in sleek, contemporary style at this modern Pahoa getaway, a private screen home once featured in the pages of Dwell Magazine. Walk the black sands of Kehena Beach in the warm island sunshine, and come home to a striking living space with a 500-foot deck where you can dine and unwind among gorgeous monkeypod trees.

The home features open concept living with entry on the top floor over a walking bridge. From the unique entryway, take in the splendor of the giant monkey-pod tree in the back yard. The home was built to highlight the natural beauty of the area. There is a comfortable living room as well as a sprawling sun deck and plenty of yoga gear if you want to take your sun salutations on the deck. The kitchen and dining areas are well-stocked and ready for your cooking adventures. Down the artful, red spiral stairs are two master suites each with a king sized bed, closet and en-suite bathroom. To note: both showers are out doors from the bathrooms, a unique Hawaiian experience.

What's nearby:
This home sits three-quarters of a mile north of the black sands of Kehena Beach (please note that this beach is clothing-optional), where dolphins are known to come by and frolic with swimmers. You'll be 10 miles down the coast from a spectacular surfing beach at Pohoiki, a 20-minute drive from popular restaurants like Paolo's, Ning's and Kaleo's, and 90 minutes by car from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The bustling town of Hilo, 32 miles north, is home to many shops, restaurants, and sources of entertainment as well.

Things to know:
Free WiFi (but no TV)
Full kitchen
Private outdoor showers

This is a Hawaii County licensed short term rental.

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I loved the look and feel of this place and was looking forward to staying here. My disappointment comes in two areas. 1) they could be more generous! The coffee was instant (not ground), there was not enough soap or shampoo for us. There was just one nightlight in each room for reading. 2) several things were broken. The coffee maker couldn't be programmed. The dishwasher didn’t work at all. The shower head fell off its mount multiple times. The light switch cover in the bedroom was covered with black tape. A pyrex dish was shattered in the drawer. Last, the hot water didn’t work at all for our first 20 hours. No apologies from the property manager. I had to keep checking and asking. We were cold and wet after a trip to the volcano and arrived during a big rain storm. Had to wait untilafter2 pm the next day. I had to ask. They weren’t proactive in telling me when it would be fixed or that it had been.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful home in a fabulous off the beaten path neighborhood. The modern architecture fits perfectly in the gorgeous jungle setting and the open air concept is very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped, only lacking an outdoor gas grill. Overall, a great spot to escape the daily grind.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a fantastic stay! The unique design and modern amenities made this a very fun place to stay. The home is stocked with games, yoga mats and everything you need in the kitchen for cooking. The beach is walking distance from the house. We enjoyed the open air concept upstairs and the privacy of the downstairs bedrooms. The house has a lot of character, seating options both inside and outside and is very comfortable. We'd definitely stay here again.

The house has a nice open concept where you feel like you are outside but still protected by the big screens. The kitchen is well stocked. It is a cool area to check out, the hit ponds are great and the market was fun!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house fulfilled a spot on my bucket list that I didn’t even know was there. The home is so uniquely placed on the land , architecturally smart with clean lines, bright & airy, utilized space so well, organized in all places, and artistically rich...simply elegant!!!! Then there’s the monkey pod trees and all the other variety of trees & plants. What a pleasure, it was hard to venture out because we just wanted to STAY! Oh , did I mention the great bedroom & bathroom ideas with the best outdoor showers!!! Also appreciated the special wood furniture and wood island & outside table! Hawaii was represented well❤️!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A memorable,enjoyable stay in what feels like a treehouse amongst the monkey pod trees. Very well maintained property. Very accurately described in the previous reviews. Wonderful communication/response time from host agency. Note: The 2 bedrooms are very intimate with each other- luckily the nighttime chorus of coqui frogs helps a bit with “sound privacy”☺️. Would recommend highly to other adventurers who are seeking a non- touristy visit to the Big Island. Tip: you’ll likely be driving a lot to take advantage of all the big island has to offer, so invest in a comfortable rental car/suv. 😎
