This modern studio, built in 2016, offers all the essential amenities for a comfortable stay including high-speed internet provided by BAMF wireless (download speeds of 100-40 mbps and upload speeds of 15-1 mbps), a washer/dryer, stove, oven, and filtered hot/cold water from the catchment system—a common feature in this area due to the absence of a public water supply.

Explore the nearby breathtaking trails that wind through unique lowland tropical rainforests or take to the waves at the newly formed lava beaches of Poho'iki and Kapoho. The area is buzzing with life, featuring various farmer’s markets, Sunday drum circles, and fire dancing events at Kehena Beach and Seaview Lawn.

A trip to the Volcano National Park will introduce you to the mesmerizing lava lake at Hale Ma'uma'u—while you may also experience one of the Big Island's frequent earthquakes. If luck is on your side, you might even visit a nearby vineyard! Remember that the volcano's activity can change, so plan wisely for your adventures.

Make time for sunset views from Mauna Loa and discover the intricate networks of lava tubes and caves that stretch beneath the island’s surface for miles. A visit to Waipio Valley allows you to ponder the rich history of ancient taro farmers.

Located within the Kalapana Seaview Estates subdivision in the southeastern district of Puna on the Big Island of Hawaii, you're just minutes away from the black sand shoreline of Kehena Beach, where trendy smoothie and fruit vendors pop up on sunny days. The dramatic contrast between black lava rock coastlines and lush rainforests makes this region truly exceptional. Engage with the local agricultural community, try spear and reel fishing, and enjoy various festivals and ecstatic dance gatherings that are popular among residents.
