Awake to the soothing sounds of the ocean, nature’s music night and day. This custom home was designed to take advantage of the prevailing trade winds, which provides comfortable temperatures throughout the day and evening all year round. The open floor plan and many windows frame the tropical treetop views and even slices of ocean views pop out between the trees from the upper lanais. Mature tropical landscaping grows all around with specimen bamboo, plumeria, avocado, palms, banana, citrus and ginger - please feel free to enjoy some fresh produce from the garden!

Experience penthouse living in this upper unit featuring an open floor plan, perfect for couples, honeymooners or young families. Walk into your living room and choose to lounge on the chaise, enjoy stunning views from the papasan or kick back in the ratan recliner to watch your favourite show. Cook a gourmet meal in the well-equipped kitchen with new GE & Samsung stainless steel appliances and serve it on the lanai after opening the fully retractable screen and glass doors. Relax in the large soaking tub or rinse off in the open shower before retiring to your king-sized four poster bed with sheers billowing in the breeze after stargazing on the upper lanai.
Note: Our home has two entrances & kitchens (one on each floor). We have it available as separate listings: the entire top studio ( this listing #KehenaBeachPenthouse ) and the entire middle 2 bedroom ( #KehenaBeachMezzanine ), and both: the entire house ( #KehenaBeachTreehouse ) . The bottom floor is a locked basement used for the catchment (water) and storage with no guest access.
Access everything inside (on the top levels) and out except the basement, which is locked storage with our limited water supply provided by a catchment (rain water) system with UV light & filtration.
Please contact us via Airbnb, we are offsite. We will do our best to have someone to assist with things we cannot do from afar (like if you lock yourself out). Closer to your stay you will get a code to access the lock box. We will not be here to greet/interact with you.
Kehena Beach Estates is a family friendly neighborhood. The property is a short stroll from the black sand beach & boasts access to a number of outdoor activities & unique festival like Sunday Drum Circle. Kaimu Beach Park, MacKenzie State Recreation Area, Isaac Hale Beach Park, new beaches & the 2018 lava flows are a short drive away. Uncle Robert's & Kaimu Corner Store in Kalapana are the closest Bar, Restaurant & Store. Wednesday night & Saturday morning market at Uncle's must not be missed.
We recommend a rental car. Many people hitchhike around here, though we do not advise it.
- Luxury 1800 thread count brushed microfiber linens and 100% Turkish Cotton towels.
- Fan, luggage rack, hangers, hanging shelves and extra towels and bedding in bedroom closet.
- We provide beach towels and snorkels/masks, cooler, umbrella and 2 chairs for your beach, tide pool, volcano and other Hawaiian adventures. Don't forget to pack your hiking shoes! There are many great hikes to choose from around here.
- Shared local landline for emergencies, local and toll free calls. We also have a cell phone booster for those that want to stay in touch or if you prefer you can just as easily be unplugged, as this is rural Hawaii.
- International travel plug adapter on hand just in case.
- Water is limited to the catchment tank on-site. Please use sparingly, especially if it does not rain during your stay. Buy drinking water.
- At night, bugs are attracted to lights, so keep the doors and windows closed. We live in the tropics and have done all we can to mitigate pests, but you will see geckos, mosquitoes, beetles, ants and hear the Coqui frogs at night.
- We have cans in the carport to sort your rubbish for the transfer station located down the road with a trash shoot as well as cardboard, mixed and glass recycling containers open Monday, Thursday and Saturday 9am-6pm.
- While the hammock is on a covered lanai it is exposed to the weather, which can be wet if stormy outside. Plan accordingly.

Kehena Beach Ocean Front Cliff House
This home is obviously unique and has even been featured on HGTV's Off Beat American & The Travel Channel, but it is the land itself that we fell in love with.
This all-concrete house is ocean front and perched on a lava cliff at Kehena Point. The Point sticks out into the ocean further than the surrounding lava cliffs and offers unparalleled views of the coast in both directions. Watch whales in season (November-April), and walk to a black sand beach.
