Kalei’s Hawaiian Hideaway is a well-appointed tropical getaway that is nestled in the lush forests of Puna on Hawaiʻi Island. This 1750sqft custom built cedar home has 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 baths. Our home offers a rustic feel, yet isn’t too far off the beaten path. It’s a great location to have as your homebase while you explore the east side of Hawaiʻi Island.
Centrally located between Hilo & Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, guests won’t spend too much time in the car visiting the breath-taking sites in East Hawaiʻi. Our home allows you to enjoy easy access to a variety of local attractions. From an adventurous expedition to watch our Hawaiian Goddess of Fire, Madam Pele, dance in Kilauea crater, to visiting the sea turtles at Shipman Beach, you are just a short drive away from the countless alluring destinations our island has to offer. Upon check in be sure to access and download our list of local attractions and must-see destinations.
At the heart of our newly furnished home is an updated, modern, and fully-equipped kitchen that will allow you to chef-it-up! You’ll find a cooktop on the large granite kitchen island and a wall oven that’s sure to take care of all of your culinary needs. You’ll have access to most of what you need, including a rice cooker, coffee maker, baking pans, and quality cookware to name a few. And you won’t miss a minute with your loved ones as the open concept living area seamlessly connects the great room and kitchen.
For our guests who need to mix work and play, set up your remote work space in the office nook located in the corner of the great room. There’s lots of space to lay out your work essentials, including tons of storage for all of your office and work supplies.
At the end of your day, unwind into vacation mode and put your feet up on the sofa or loveseat in the living area. Enjoy a movie on the 55-inch smart TV or binge a couple of episodes of the latest mini-series you’re hooked on.
And remember to enjoy the soft, cool Puna breezes in the oversized breezeway that connects the garage to the house. Enjoy your morning coffee or grill some steaks or fresh fish in the evening under this covered and cool outdoor space. And while you’re out there, take in the tropical landscaping that includes a hala grove, coconut trees and sweetly scented flowers. And be sure to help yourself to any ripe avocados, grapefruits or oranges that you find on our trees.
If you prefer to step out for a meal, visit one of the many dining options in Kea‘au (9 miles), Pāhoa (5 miles) or head to Hilo (15 miles) to get a taste of the delicious local fare. We will provide you with an index of options that you can download when you arrive at the home.

When I booked this property I knew my intentions of this trip were to sightsee. I thought things would’ve been a lot closer, but we ended up spending at least 30 minutes driving one way to reach anything worth seeing. It still seemed central enough and 30 minutes beats driving an hour or 2 had we stayed on the west side of the island. As you return from whatever adventure you embarked on, you’ll notice the house, with its wooden ceiling, is kind of like a sauna. Once you air it out by opening the windows and running all the fans it becomes a great place to stay. All essentials were provided for us. The kitchen was wonderful and we were able to cook in for some meals. Even with the driving, the raininess of the east side/Hilo, and the sauna conditions, we truly enjoyed our stay.

We loved the house; spacious rooms, garage parking, and a desk for work. The pictures do not do the house justice in my opinion.
The many fruit trees around the property were wonderful. The fruit and vegetable stand right at the subdivision entrance was a favorite for us and we stopped there several times. The farmer’s market on Sunday just south of the property was amazing. Probably the best I’ve seen in Hawaii and we’ve been to quite a few farmer’s markets on multiple islands. The Malama market was also a great surprise. Fresh sushi and poke along with everything you’d need.
The location was perfect for visiting all the areas on the East side including volcano’s national park, Hilo, water falls, botanical garden, and many more places.
Thanks for making our visit to the Big Island’s East side memorable!

Located in an ideal location away from the hustle and bustle of Hilo town, yet close enough that the drive there is pretty quick. Can’t think of anything more to ask of Michelle and her home. Pictures don’t do it justice, this place looks even better in person. My family and I felt so comfortable and there were little amenities that most homes don’t offer. Well-stocked kitchen with spices, condiments, coffee, dishes, utensils, pots, pan, everything you need to function! Bathrooms stocked with towels, shampoo/conditioner, body wash, additional toiletries. Garage had various coolers and fold up chairs for our beach day. The house was very clean inside and out. There was even a little welcome treat! Communication was a breeze and the instructions were clear. Mahalo to Michelle and her team for such a pleasant stay, we wish we had more time and will definitely book again!

The home was super clean and had everything we needed. Only suggestion would be some outdoor furniture in the covered area connecting the house to the garage. The breeze was great there and while we had folding chairs we would have preferred something more of an outdoor living space.

The house had great space for all 5 of us and the different seating areas indoors and out were excellent for a change of scenery.
The only downside for us was that the house is on a busy road so the volume of traffic/vehicles took a little to get used to.

Very comfortable family oriented home, central to many activities of the East side of the Big Island. We felt very rested after our time there. Beautiful view on the sea a couple of miles down the road. Greatly appreciated all life essentials being available upon arrival after a long flight.

The property was exactly as described. It was clean, spacious. Beautiful interior decorating. The kitchen was well equipped and was one of the best part of our stay because we like to cook. Great water pressure in the showers. We got to bbq. The property was only 10 mins from a grocery store and great coffee place.
I highly recommend it, I will definitely book this place again.
