Family get away

Our family visited the Big Island to see our son and his family ( residence of the Puna District). Our 2 adult daughters and their partners stayed with us at Kehena house. Wonderful accommodations and great location. Well appointed kitchen, great views from every room and easy access to the beach. House.

Beautiful view

This place was magical! Very clean but does need some upgrading done. We would definitely stay again, especially if there was AC! Owners and caretakers are top-notch! It's like a little paradise!

Great place to relax

Fantastic place to get away from it all. Overlooks the ocean, great sunrise. Not for those who want the action of someplace like Waikiki or Kona.

Birthday celebrations

We were two couples celebrating our 70th birthdays in beautiful Hawaii. The beach house was an incredible highlight to our trip! The views are breathtaking!! The house has a unique floor plan which actually makes it feel even larger than it is. There are so many extra touches, like the hot tub and fire table. The owner made it very easy to communicate and to check in and out. We hated to leave!

First visit to the big island

It’s beautiful. Truly a paradise. Gorgeous vistas from every angle except the clothing optional beach. Not the best with teens The cold showers the last day were a bit uncomfortable. Aside from that and the forced damage insurance and higher than normal fees, it was a very spacious home. Mahalo

Breathtaking views!!

Breathtaking views. My wife still (after 10 days) can't stop talking about viewing the sunrise from this house. We also saw wild dolphins swim in the ocean. The property offers some of the most excellent views we have ever seen of the ocean. The drive to this property feels a little remote (about 12 minutes on 130 and 6 minutes on 137), but that's the price you pay for experiencing nature so up close.

AMAZING STAY - Still dreaming of the ocean views

I can not put into words how beautiful the views from the property are. You must go there in the person to experience it yourself as the pictures do not do it justice. There are views of the ocean from every single room in the house. I have stayed at oceanfront homes in the past, but this one was my absolute favorite. This large estate home was absolutely perfect for my group. The way the house is set up allowed us to have privacy from each other, but still allowed so many common spaces to have meals and ample hang out time together. The grounds and location are heaven on earth. The kitchen was perfect for preparing our meals. I hope to return and stay here again in 2024. I am telling all my friends about this rental! This was my first time staying in the Kehena area, and I found the location at the house to be beautiful and serene and peaceful. I loved walking down to Kehena beach daily since it was just minutes away. Everyone in the area was so friendly. One small thing to mention - I started journaling again, which was not something I have done in YEARS!

Remote and Stunning Oceanfront Home

Our family of 6 had a wonderful 5 night stay at this immaculate home on the big island’s wild and rugged side. The house is amazing. If you enjoy sleeping to the sound of crashing waves, this property is going to be a dream for you. Though it sits on a high cliff, the huge waves below relentlessly crash against the lava rock coastline, and the ambiance is spectacular. Everything you want in a 5 star house is there as expected, and it’s clean and super comfortable. One note that should be known is that there is no AC in this house. However, you open all the screened windows, get the breeze going, and the sound of the waves, and it’s perfect. We were there in July, so it did get stuffy a few times, but we used fans in the bedrooms to solve that issue. I would guess at most times of the year even no fans would be needed. The location is remote and quite an experience. The closet town is Pāhoa, which is about a 15-20 min drive. There you’ll find everything you need such as a wonderful grocery store, many food options, and what I personally feel is the best breakfast place I’ve ever eaten at - Pele’s Grill. Trust me on that one, you must go and experience the love in their food. It’s amazing. Joy and Freedom are the hosts. We were graciously greeted on arrival, had our questions answered, and then they left us alone. If we needed anything we could call, but we never did. It was a good experience. Great experience!
