You'll feel well-cared for and cozy in this new two-bedroom home. High-end design and luxury finishes bring art, comfort and beauty indoors; wrapping you in a jewel box of tranquility. The large open deck offers plenty of outdoor living space. The black sand beach of Kahena is a ten-minute walk. The area is a perfect retreat from city life and technology, as it combines the lush green of forests and gardens with the rugged formations of lava flows and natural hot pools. The dominance and power of mother nature on display reminds you of your connection to the natural world.
Quiet, remote and tranquil, but full of places to explore and find inspiration. The nearby town of Pahoa has a world-class farmers market and unique locally owned boutique shops. This is a part of Hawaii that is not at all overrun by tourists. You’ll easily fall into the flow of the slow-paced, gracious nature of the area and feel the welcome hospitality and aloha that we all treasure.
Pohohiki is eight miles away and offers natural lava heated hot ponds and a stunning beach. Walk for miles along a lava shelf with tide pools and new plants popping out through lava rock that not long ago, flowed in molten form.
The home is newly renovated in 2021 and offers open spaces, fresh breezes, and an ideal mix of indoor and outdoor living. Both bedrooms have king beds featuring Keetsa brand high-end firm mattresses and crisp percale cotton bedding. All the modern luxuries are here, and we've stocked the home with everything you might need.
Fall asleep to the sound of crashing waves in the background with cool evening breezes of fresh air. The sun rises each morning filling the home with sun. Shower each morning in soft, filtered rainwater, from our catchment system, and have your Kona coffee on the outdoor deck as you try to distinguish the dozens of different bird calls all around.
The home is owned and designed by a local interior designer with a special skill for designing spaces that create a sense of comfort and balance. Open spaces and a thoughtful floor plan create ease, while luxury finishes and artful touches inspire moments of gratitude for the beauty surrounding you.
The caretaker's cottage is occupied by master gardener and long-time resident JRo. He's on-call if needed and ensures you are oriented, happy and well-cared for; all while offering you total privacy.
This is old school, slow down and relax Hawaii.
The home is part of a small cluster of roughly 35 homes along the coast in a small grid of four roads. This small enclave is then surrounded by three large forest reserves, three state parks, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and virgin open spaces so tranquil that one of the largest dwellings in the area is the nearby Buddhist Monastery.
This is a very lush and secluded area. You will here coqui frogs sing through most of the night. There are no street lights, so flashlights and headlamps can be helpful.
You will be moments away from being able to admire the beautiful formations at the Lava Tree State Park.
We are close to the Kalani Retreat Center, Volcanoes National Park, Kaimu Beach, Isaac Hale Beach, Uncle Robert's Kava Bar, and the oceanside McKenzie State Park.
Kehena Black Sand Beach is a ten minute walk. This clothing-optional beach is know for dolphins that come to play with humans.
We are 10 miles from the spectacular surfing beach at Pohoiki, a 20-minute drive from popular restaurants like...

Exquisite accommodations, owners have thought of everything. Loved waking up to the sun coming through the lush garden surrounding the house. Great opportunity to see this part of the island, and to explore Volcanoes National Park. Highly recommended.

The house was newly renovated and had all the amenities you need. You can see the sun rise from your bed in the master bedroom. What a treat for us. The groundskeeper was awesome. He helped us with our electronic devices and made us cookies. The house had everything you need for the beach. Chairs, snorkles, floaties, and plenty of beach towels. I highly recommend this Vrbo property.

We had 5 fantastic days in the beautiful Kehena villa. We got there late at night when it was pitch black, and the tropical sound already gives away what to expect in the morning: a beautiful, stylish home in the middle of a tropical garden. You hear the waves rolling in at Kehena beach. The whole community is special and makes you loose your sense of time. The black Kehena beach is a couple of minutes walking distance down the road. And everyone we were in touch with was beyond friendly & welcoming. We travelled with friends, 2 couples. And we will certainly be back.

Our 2 night stay at Kehena Hideaway could not have been more prefect. From the impeccable taste and décor of the inside to the memorizing foliage on the outside, everything was dream like. This house is like a sanctuary and proved to be just what we needed to relax and rejuvenate. The property manager and J-Ro, the AMAZING grounds keeper made this stay even more enjoyable by being available, welcoming, and the perfect addition to this property.

Very comfortable, modern, spacious interior with awesome deck overlooking beautiful garden. 1 block from waterfront, with a limited view of the ocean. Great place to chill, but plan to stock your own provisions for meals as this is not close to town and restaurants.

This 2-bedroom home is perfect for those seeking to escape the big resort Hawai'i experience. Clean, cozy, quiet. Well-appointed, with a great use of space. The appliances are new, the showers are great. It has a large screen TV, and the Wifi is fast. Tucked into a lush, tropical neighborhood, the house has a wide covered deck on 2-sides overlooking a world-class backyard garden. There's a fantastic black sand beach just down the road, as well as a brand new shopping center about a 20-minute drive towards Hilo. Volcanoes National Park--home of Kilauea--is about an hour away. This is the place for people who want to get off the beaten path. A real Big Island gem. We were talking about going back as we drove to the airport.
