Nice Studio w/ A/C Near Kehena/Pohoiki Beaches and Lava Fields - sleeps 3


The Space

Aloha! ' Our private studio w/ A/C is a great place to stay because it is centered in between Kehena Beach & the new Pohoiki Beach and thermal ponds.

It is a wonderful home base if you are coming to see black sand beaches and the lava fields , just 6 miles down the road from us. Due to the recent Leilani Estates Eruption, we now have several black sand beaches in the area ( Kehena, Pohoiki, Mackenzie sea caves, Kaimu and Kapoho)
Pohoiki Beach is now a popular large family beach w/ thermal ponds.

Volcanoes National Park is just 1 hour away.

It has been the resting place to a world full of visitors from Canada, Germany, Israel, China, India, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, Europe, and others for 2 years now. If you are looking for a nice clean place to stay that is of good value, this is the place for you.

If you are on a budget and looking for a fully furnished completely private studio w/ private bath/small kitchenette & air-conditioning, this unit is it. The studio has two double beds, Direct TV, landline w/ free long distance, Wi-Fi internet. The kitchenette has MW, hotplate, pans, coffee maker, utensils, and a medium sized refrigerator. There is a gas & rock BBQ outside as well.

We do rent for a month at a time.

You can see the ocean from the studio 10 blocks away. It is walking distance to the Hele-on bus that will take you to Hilo for just $1.00 and it comes by 3x/day.

Many people come to the Puna district ( Kehena Beach, Kapoho, Pahoa and Kalapana) for the sunshine, peace and quiet, for nature walks, yoga and more. Puna is also known to experience less rain than other areas on this side of the island.
.
Puna is also a great place to see the lava fields and to see Kilauea Volcano , the Hawaiian jungles, tropical rainforests, beautiful coastal views, thermal ponds heated ponds and beach at Pohoiki.


Now, for those of you who are seeking night time entertainment, check out 'Uncles Tiki Bar' if you want to sip a beer and listen to live Hawaiian/Jawaiian/Country down the road from us. ( Wednesday nights)

Our renters love our squeaky clean studio and you will too - we guarantee it.

Guest Access
Parking is next to building. Free TV, phone, and WiFi internet and air conditioning.


Interaction with Guests

The Neighborhood
Kalapana-Seaview is a nice, quiet, and safe neighborhood.

Getting Around
It’s best to have a car down here although there is the Hele-on bus that passes by our subdivision 3x/day at $1.00 6 days per week. You can take it to Hilo for $1 & from Hilo to Kona for $1 as well. The total round trip would cost $4.00. You can't beat

Great little VRBO in a quiet area.

Enjoyed this stay very much; good area near me son and his family in Pahoa; bohemian area, near black sand beach; small but perfect size, well appointed. Coffee on the deck in the mornings was great, great dark sky area, lush, green, comfortable. Will definitely return here!

Convenient, affordable, great service

We visited the area with the main purpose of attending Uncle Robert’s Night Market, and this location was very convenient for that. The correspondence from the hosts was very detailed and instructions for getting there and checking in were very detailed and helpful. The WiFi was excellent. We spent the next morning exploring the beautiful vistas along the Red Road, and this was an excellent location for that as well. Would definitely recommend.

Cute, quaint, and quiet

I loved my time here even if it was a little quirky. Things like washing dishes in the bathroom sink and having to flip the breaker a couple times when I cooked made some great memories of my time there. It was so peacefull and easy to access local points of interest. The host, Andre was positive and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

A nice place away from the usual tourist locations

Wanted to stay somewhere interesting and this was it. The room itself is completely normal but the area around it is not. Room about size of of decent sized living room with two beds, kitchen with attached private bathroom. Just a few minutes from a black sand beach. Sky was dark enough to see the milky way at night if that gives you an idea of how out of way it is. Nothing by the sounds of the birds to wake up to. Feels like you get to experience a more local version of Hawai'i. Nearest town about 20-30 min car drive where there are multiple dining options. Just don't make the mistake we did and have an 8 am flight out of Kona. Easy drive, but makes for a very early morning.

like a small apartment retrofit in a two-story house

Quiet neighborhood of single-family homes nearby. Somewhat noisy a/c greeted us on a warm, pleasant mid-afternoon. Fortunately night was cool (mid-November) so we could turn off the a/c and open the lanai door and main room little window for peaceful, cool Hawaiian air once the sun went down. Never needed that a/c again, stayed cool enough til check-out time. The lack of a kitchen sink of ANY size was a real inconvenience, as we brought our food with us. Using the bathroom sink for food ware was a problem (think-food scraps in a bathroom sink). The apartment was clean, the two double beds lightweight but actually comfortable. It was OK for the simple overnight and short lazy morning hours we stayed there. Wouldn't choose this particular unit for 3 or more nights unless I were going be out all day long most days, because it's not the kind of vacation place one would typically lay around and chill in.

Did not stay due to communication issues.

Property owner asked us to contact him via phone prior to arrival due to no cell reception near the property. We tried 2 different numbers and also texting. No response. We waited for a response and then drove to the property thinking he might meet us there when we had no response. No one around that we could see. It had been a very long day and not being able to reach owner, we decided to return to Kona. The owner contacted us approximately 30 minutes after we started our trip back to Kona. At that point, we were not willing to turn around and go back. We did ask for a refund and was told that he considered us a no show and there would be no refund. Very frustrating considering the circumstances of not being able to communicate with him in a timely manner. We had plans to explore the area more and was very dissappointed that we were unable to. Suggestion - Using a lock box with the keys instead of relying on meeting guests after they call to let them into the property.

Nice Place for families, recommended

It’s a nice place, beach is accessible within a min drive. Night sky is beautiful because of less light pollution. Make sure to check out the restaurant down the road, not sure about dinner timings but for breakfast Acai is good. Great host, only suggestion for host is to limit instructions to one pager instead of multiple locations around the house :)

Private room with bathroom and kitchen in super nice location and neighbourhood

Overall we had a very pleasant stay at Susan and Andre’s. The house lies in a very interesting and lush green neighbourhood with unique buildings and people around. It captures the essence of the Puna area very well. In total there were (we think) 3 properties inside the house, which could be rented out. We found our room had everything we needed, a nice balcony and porch and a nice view over the neighbourhood. Although we found the interior design of the flat a bit old fashioned and despite that with an infant, 2 adults and luggage one room was maybe a bit small, price-wise it was a very good value for money in the area. We missed some essentials on the first day of our stay but the host went more than out of her way to provide them as fast as possible. Super! The place is at an ideal location. Only 5 min from Kehena beach (a stunningly beautiful black beach, where close by you could do your laundry in the beach bungalows the hosts also own), 25 min from Pahoa, 1h from Hilo, 11 min from the new hot springs and 1h from Volcano National Park it was at perfect location to explore Puna and Hilo (and if we had more time also parts of the Hamakua coast) without driving too much. And to also live surrounded by recent lava gave the place a huge plus. We really enjoyed!

Great Location for our pit stop

This property was great for our trip around the island. We stayed here since Volcano National Park was 20 minutes away. I didn't expect to find the best beach in the world just down the street. Black sand beach with thermal pools. It had everything we needed including air conditioning. Just minutes away from the ocean. Will definitely stay here again and for longer. Very clean rental and it had all we needed. Loved it!!!!

This rental had all the amenities and everything else you might want. The property owner and manager were both very helpful with local attractions and warnings of things to watch out for. I would recommend staying here as we had an amazing time with a breakfast on the porch every morning to start our adventures.

Cute and comfortable studio

Thankful for the AC. The bathroom does get pretty warm due to the open window but if the door is closed it stays nice and cool. The only thing that was a little odd was in the fridge was someone's leftover rice and salad. Which did not affect us just a little odd. Overall great experience and I would definitely stay again! Mila was very sweet in explaining where everything was when showing us our room!
