🌴 Gorgeous Oceanfront Luxury Retreat 🌊 Pool, Black Sand Beach, AC and Billiards

Welcome to your dream escape at the stunning Gorgeous Oceanfront Luxury Retreat in Pahoa, Hawaii! This extraordinary property is ideally situated on the east coast of the Big Island, just a stone's throw away from mesmerizing black sand beaches, breathtaking waterfalls, the majestic volcano, and the charming town of Hilo.

Introducing Hale Kakahi, which translates to β€œunique, outstanding, one-of-a-kind house,” perfectly reflecting the essence of this remarkable home. Spanning three lush acres, this retreat offers sweeping 180-degree oceanfront vistas that will leave you in awe. Imagine waking up to the serene beauty of the sunrise filtering through skylights in your luxurious master suite. Embrace the tranquil surroundings as you wander the grounds, discovering vibrant tropical plants and an array of birdlife. Relish a leisurely breakfast on the lanai while keeping an eye out for breaching whales or playful dolphins during winter months.

Your adventure doesn't have to end there. Venture out for a day trip to explore the volcano, tour cascading waterfalls, or spend a relaxing afternoon at the local black sand beach. After a day full of exploration, unwind in the hammock with an ocean view, lose yourself in a good book, or take a refreshing dip in the saltwater pool. At this unique property, the possibilities for relaxation and enjoyment are endless. End your day roasting marshmallows by the fire on your own private lava rock beach.

The interiors of our beautiful home have been meticulously updated and renovated, showcasing exquisite koa, mango, and monkey pod wood throughout. The entryway features a magnificent lava rock fireplace that sets the stage for the great room and kitchen.

Guests often express their wish to have spent more time enjoying the comforts of the house rather than exploring, a testament to the inviting atmosphere of this luxury retreat.

Summary: The house was great! Everything was just as listed and provided in the photos, and would definitely stay here again. We lucked out with pretty good weather, and lucky enough to see the volcano erupting on my birthday. Great place for a family, just caution on the only stairs between floors inside the house is a spiral staircase that may be an issue for some. You can access the lower level from outside as well. It was a beautiful and quiet property, and missed hearing the frogs at night when we got home. Thank you for the stay!!
