This is a very unique home with an absolutely stunning view of the ocean. The back patio has a beautiful east facing the ocean view that is unparalleled. There is also a wonderful little trail down to the lava field right below the house that is right at the oceans edge. To Kehena Beach is only about a 5 to 10 minute walk down the road and it is a very special, clothing optional, black sand beach. Overall, the location of this home is absolutely perfect. It is just off of Kalapana-Kopoho Beach Road which is one of the most beautiful blacktop roads in the country and perfect for a walk or a jog. The interior of the home is very open and offers tons of seating with ocean views. There are many areas in the living room/great room where you can sit and read and plenty of space for dining for a large family or group. Nice touches included cooking oils (whatever you do don’t buy soy sauce to cook with while you are here as there is tons of it available!), coffee, and lots of baking goods. There were also fresh flowers left for us on arrival which was very much appreciated. The outdoor shower is not heated but it was absolutely perfect for cooling off at the end of the day.Like most homes in the area, there is no A/C. It does still get very warm here (in late June) and some of our family members had trouble sleeping at night due to the heat. Our only small complaint is that we never received the check in instructions with the code to the lock box for the key, and had to drive back to Pahoa town as there is no cell service at the house, in order to contact the owner. However, she responded immediately and we had no further issues at all. Overall this was a wonderful place for our family to stay and we are very grateful.
