Tranquil Island Escape at Kehena Beach - Private Home at Black Sands and Volcano

Summary:

Trade crowded resort mornings for a walk to Kehena Black Sand Beach, where the Puna coast feels wilder, greener, and completely its own. This stylish two-bedroom, two-bath home sleeps four in Kehena Beach Estates, a short stroll from the sand and surf. Make breakfast in the modern kitchen, take it to the covered lanai for an open-air meal, then come back after the beach to stretch out in the comfortable living room. The home has WiFi and a private washer and dryer, but no air conditioning, so expect a naturally ventilated tropical stay. Pahoa is about 13 miles away for dining and supplies, while Hilo is about 31 miles away for a bigger day out. Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park makes an unforgettable excursion when conditions and your plans allow. Exterior security cameras are present. This is a thoughtful choice for a couple or small family drawn to nature, black sand, and a quieter side of the island.



The Space:

Modern furnishings give this two-bedroom, two-bath home a clean, easy feel for four guests. Granite counters and stainless appliances anchor the kitchen, with an island bar for two and a dining table for four. The living room has a chaise sofa and three armchairs, while the covered lanai adds a lounge area and alfresco dining. There is no air conditioning, and a washer and dryer are provided.



Guest Access:

This Tranquil Island Escape at Kehena Beach is a private, single level home with its own patio or balcony, garden view, and a private entrance with a lit path at night. Guests have full use of the BBQ grill and kitchen. There are no shared resort amenities, just a quiet retreat near the beach in Puna.



The Neighborhood:

Kehena sits on the Big Island's lush Puna coast, a rural stretch where jungle, lava landscapes, and black-sand shoreline make the setting feel far from resort Hawaii. Kehena Black Sand Beach is the nearby draw, while Pahoa is the place for local provisions and casual dining. Hilo and Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park are longer day trips that reward travelers willing to explore. A car is helpful in this part of the island, and the pace is deliberately slower. This area is best for guests who want nature, space, and a genuine break from crowds.



Getting Around:

Hilo International Airport is about 30 minutes away, making for a relaxed drive through the Puna countryside. A rental car is essential here, as Pahoa's beaches, shops, and dining are spread across the district. The small town center offers a few walkable blocks of local shops and eateries. Parking is easy and typically available on site or along the street near most homes.



Other Things to Note:

Please note: this rental is not equipped with air conditioning. Please note: there are security cameras on the exterior of this property.
