🌴 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.

Accommodations include:

  • Bedroom 1: A lavish Cal King master suite equipped with a TV, jacuzzi jet tub, shower, and access to the ocean view lanai and saltwater pool.
  • Bedroom 2: A King suite featuring an ocean view, a TV, an attached bathroom, and an upgraded shower.
  • Downstairs Loft: Accessible via a spiral staircase leading from the main living area, this space has twin over full bunk beds, an ocean view, air hockey, and a TV; a pocket door separates it from Bedroom 2.
  • Bedroom 3: A Queen suite with its own attached bath and shower, located on the same floor as Bedroom 2 and the downstairs loft. It has a separate keyed entrance, ocean view, TV, and private bathroom, giving you added privacy.

We take immense pride in our cherished second home, ensuring it remains clean, sanitized, and comfortable for your stay. You will always find high-quality mattresses, linens, and a fully stocked kitchen ready for culinary adventures.

Located in the serene Puna district of East Hawaii, our retreat is an ideal base for exciting day trips to Volcano National Park, pristine swimming beaches, turtle lagoons in Hilo, and the picturesque waterfalls along the Hamakua Coast.

Summary: This is a truly stunning property with an incredible ocean view. The home and grounds are very beautiful and feel secluded although the house is in an easily accessible neighborhood and close to amenties. There was plenty of space for our whole family and we enjoyed making meals in the large kitchen and then enjoying them on the massive lanai. It was also a good home base for visting Volcanoes National Park and for day trips to Hilo.We loved our time here and would highly recommend it.
