View

Our vacation home, is located on a one-acre lot in a lush tropical rain forest. It is surrounded by trees and greenery. While it does rain often in the Puna District, the rains are not usually constant (intermittent showers) so there are periods each day of sunshine and sometimes brief showers. The vacation home is located on paved roads and is connected to the public water system. But there are only a few neighbors around so you will have the ultimate in privacy. The property caretaker lives in the next closest house. It is a very secluded and private place; yet it's only a quick trip to town (Pahoa) or to the ocean (3.5 miles either direction).

More Information

The house was recently built specifically as a vacation home. Just furnished in the summer of 2008. Consequently, you will benefit by renting from us during our ‘new on the market’ discounted rental rate period – from now through March 2009. Repeat renters will be given a discount off the published rental rates. Booking now can save you money in the future. Arrangements can be made for private or group tours, airport pick-up, & housekeeping services to make your stay even more amenable. The house does not have central air conditioning. Most nights are rather cool (68-72 degreeF) so the ceiling fans (living room/bedroom),floor fans & attic exhaust fans should make it cool & breezy enough – except for the most finicky. For beach trips, you will find water jugs, cooler, BBQ, beach chairs, and folding table. When you get back to the house, be sure to wash off the sand at the outside shower near the back door.
