View the lava flow that is about six miles east of the house and stopped at the Pahoa Transfer Station.

Enjoy watching the whales breach and the turtles play in the waves during the day. At night, let the sound of the waves lull you to sleep in this beautiful private home located in Pahoa. This custom two-story oceanfront, east-side of Hawaii, home is so close to the gorgeous Pacific Ocean you’ll feel like you are on a cruise ship. This 2800+ SF house has 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths and 180 degrees of unobstructed views where you can watch colorful sunrises and marine life like whales, dolphins, and turtles play in the ocean. Have an enjoyable Hawaiian vacation where you can listen to the waves and feel the ocean breezes. The home is located near the most eastern tip of the Big Island and due to tradewinds and sea breezes is almost always free of VOG (volcanic Haze) that affects the air quality in other parts of the island.

Our home has been lovingly prepared and will make even the most discriminating traveler happy. This home offers peace and relaxation in a dramatic setting with panoramic views of the ocean. Listen to the songs of myna birds at sunrise and sunset. Refresh yourself in the pool or go on a leisurely stroll in the nearby forest.

Located in a friendly neighborhood, and near a park, this location is great for taking walks, jogs, or bike rides. Or just kick back and relax on the lounge chairs and enjoy the sun and ocean breezes. Conveniently located just 10 minutes from the town of Pahoa which has many stores and restaurants to chose from. Just down the road is Isaac Hale beach Park & Pohoiki Black Sand Beach (swimming/surf spot), the Kaunana Lava Tubes, Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Farm, Boiling Pots, Shipman Beach and Uncle Roberts. Also close by is the Hawaii Volcano National Park.

We are located 30 minutes from Hilo airport. Check-in is 3:00PM & Check-out is at 10:00AM (unless other arrangements have been made). Directions will be e-mailed to you upon confirmation.

We are also offering, for a small fee, a traditional lei greeting upon arrival and grocery stocking so you can relax the moment you arrive. If interested, please inquire upon booking.

The view was breathtaking, it was well stocked and our hosted was easy to communicate with.Only improvement would be that the check out process was a bit excessive; stripping the beds, sweeping the floors and emptying the dishwasher, considering a cleaning fee was applied.

Wonderful home with a beautiful view!

We love staying at this home. We have stayed at this home both times we traveled to the Big Island. It has an incredible view and is always well maintained. Jennifer was in contact with us before and during our stay to make certain we had everything we needed. The home is located in a quieter area near the town of Pahoa. It makes it even more enjoyable being less busy and able to enjoy the coastline from this quiet neighborhood. I would highly recommend staying at this home when visiting the Big Island especially while on the East side.

Perfect house on the coast

The house and pool are amazing. We found the house more spacious than photos. Well equipped. Great house to hang and relax. It is in a neighborhood not resort area so plan to spend time driving for restaurants and activities.

Amazing views and turtle watching was fabulous. Would recommend fans to be cleaned and consider installing air conditioning (muggy hot nights were hard to get a restful sleep). Homeowner and caretaker were great with communicating and offering recommendations for food, shopping and sight seeing

House

I would rate it a 4.5 . Front windows towards the ocean have a heavy film on them and view is not clear. Pool was cold. A few bugs but you get that in most warm climates. If those were improved I would give it a 5. But the real question is would we stay there again, yes would definitely stay there again. Great location and views right on the ocean and it actually has 4 bedrooms.

Most Amazing sunrise

This really felt like home, this house has everything a family needs, there is even a closet with snorkeling and beach equipment!! So much thought went into the three patios with chairs to watch the sunrise at the ocean edge. The waterfalls and shopping are near, and the house and neighborhood are beautiful! Ocean waves provide the perfect sound fir sleeping.

Great location

Best location of anyplace we have stayed. Right on the waterfront where you can sit and watch the waves come in and break over the lava rocks. House was great size and couls easily fit two families. Only downside was something was left in the garbage disposal which had a strong odor. The two indoor garbage containers also had a strong odor from something that had leaked through the plastic bags from previous guests.

Awesome oceanfront

Spacious, well-maintained, and very clean home on a beautiful rocky shore. Sunrises were amazing. Nice covered lanais are well furnished. Pool is great and relaxing - swam and used the floating hammock nearly every morning for those “zen” moments listening to the waves. Excellent communication and helpful information from the owner. Ocean breeze, sounds of the waves, and ample fans made for comfortable sleeping even in July.

Beautiful retreat

The property was clean and beautiful. The view was stunning. The solar heater had enough hot water for our family, the trade winds provided enough of a breeze to keep us cool . The last day we were there a tropical storm came and although it was very rainy and windy, I didn’t feel like we were unsafe in any way. It was difficult to keep things dry because of the humidity but that happens all over. I would highly recommend this place.
