Tropical "Jungalow" Near the Sea: Experience Nature's Tranquility

Immerse yourself in the serene beauty of our Tropical "Jungalow" Near the Sea, where indoor-outdoor living becomes a daily delight. You will find a bright and spacious home that invites natural light and fresh Hawaiian air to flow freely. Step out onto the lanai and take in the lush vegetation and unique lava landscapes while listening to the soothing sound of waves crashing nearby. This secluded retreat offers a peaceful garden oasis, perfect for escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The design of the house features open windows that facilitate trade-wind ventilation throughout the space, keeping it cool and comfortable. The water supply is eco-friendly, with rainwater harvested and triple-filtered for showers and sinks, and fresh spring water available for drinking in the kitchen.

Your adventure begins just a ten-minute stroll away, where the dramatic cliffs of Puna await exploration. The trailhead to Ha'ena/Shipman Beach, renowned for being the only non-black sand beach in Puna, is a mere two miles from your doorstep. For those seeking even more scenic views, a ten-mile unpaved drive along Gov't Beach Rd leads you to the former Kapoho area, where you can discover a newly formed black-sand beach created after the 2018 eruption.

Conveniently located just 16 miles from Hilo airport, this tropical haven lies four miles makai (toward the sea) of HWY 130. You'll find the nearest mini-market only five miles away or head eight miles into Pahoa for additional shopping options. For nature lovers, Volcanoes National Park is approximately 20 miles from your stay. Although this tranquil area offers seclusion, it is also teeming with wildlife—get ready to experience wild fowl, coqui frogs, geckos, various insects, and occasional rain showers during your visit.

The Jungalow allows for abundant natural ventilation thanks to its open layout and reliance on trade winds instead of air conditioning. Please note quiet hours are observed from dusk until dawn. The owners and their two friendly cats reside on the property in a separate unit situated at the back, ensuring you have everything you need for a delightful stay. We kindly ask guests to limit their vehicles to two for the duration of their visit, and a Ring security camera is positioned to monitor the driveway for your peace of mind.
