Lova Lava Land Eco-Resort is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure in staying in creative off-the-grid accommodations! Our 3 acre property is designed as a fun learning experience in life on an old lava field - full of beautiful shady ohia trees, ocean views, and creative communal areas great for socializing and relaxing.

We offer a beautifully decorated yurt and several renovated Volkswagen camper buses as sleeping accommodations. For communal use is a bamboo and lava decorated compost toilet, an outdoor shower built out of lava rock from the premises, a gazebo-covered communal kitchen & lounging area, and a lava rock grill with picnic table.

Take our self-guided walking tour of the property to learn about local flora, fauna, and how we have created comfortable off-the-grid systems. Or relax in your private area on the property - each accommodation has it's own area complete with either a hammock, picnic table, or swing.

OUR ACCOMMODATIONS:
1. PELE'S PARADISE YURT: sleeps 2
This beautifully designed 'round house' offers a skylight, ocean views, a full sized bed, closet, bean bag chair, fan, and much more! If you haven't tried sleeping in a yurt before, you'll never go back!

2. VOLKSWAGEN CAMPER BUS SLEEPING: sleeps 2 (2 full sized beds)
This is also a fun and comfortable experience for those that reminensce about the 60's, those that wish it were still the 60's, or those that are just curious and want a fun alternative to normal sleeping arrangements. We've rescued & renovated these buses - although they are NON-operational. All buses have storage space and closets and are priced the same, although each has it's own character and even name! Each bus has two beds - one full sized bed in the pop-top canopy with windows that unzip for star-gazing and one full sized pull-out bed on the main level.

-VWBus#1: Daisy the Daydream Bus (yellow bus in the picture) has been decorated in memory and love for the music of the 60's - from our favorite band, the Grateful Dead, to other favorites such as Joplin, Hendrix, & Marley. Daisy has a huge private spot with direct views of the ocean and is a wonderful option, especially for guests staying longer periods.

-VWBus#2: Garth the Gecko Bus has been renovated back to original design, with a touch of Gecko decoration (he is green after all). You can catch ocean views from the pull out bed and Garth has a private shaded swing in his area.

-VWBus#3: Hillary the Hula Bus is Garth's close twin (also green) and has been decorated with a Hawaiian hula theme. She has a private picnic table in front, that offers prime views of South Point - the Southernmost tip of the USA.


THE AREA:
Ocean View is a colorful small community 45 miles from Kailua-Kona and 80 miles from Hilo. We've provided a detailed self-tour guide of the area for you, including directions to the MANY beaches (including 2 black sand beaches), the southernmost point in the USA, several state parks, Volcano National Park, local markets, and much more.

This is a rustic eco-village on 3 acres of beautiful old lava fields and shady Ohia trees. Expect something like camping without a tent, but be pleasantly surprised when it is much more!

Vacation Rental Features
Amenities
  • Linens Provided: To save money for you budget travelers out there: If you want to bring your own linens/pillows, etc OR wash up the ones you use, we will gladly refund part of the cleaning fee!
  • Off Street Parking: Free parking on the property grounds.
Beds
  • Double Bed: Yurt has 1 full sized comfortable bed. VW buses have 2 full sized beds (1 in the pop-top for great star-gazing and 1 in the pull out back part of the bus).
Kitchen
  • Shared Kitchen: Our large outdoor & shaded communal kitchen is available for guests to share. It has a refrigerator, sink, gas range, coffee maker, and extra pots/plates/utensils for all to share (pretty much everything you need to cook a basic meal). We have a communal policy where everyone is welcome to use whatever is here - as long as you clean up after yourself and wash dishes immediately after use.
  • Cooking Utensils Provided: Basic pots/pans/utensils provided.
  • Refrigerator: Small refrigerator run on solar power for guests to share - if you have a lot of items to keep cold, please bring your own cooler & ice.
Outdoor Features
  • Charcoal BBQ Grill: Beautiful hand-made grill made of lava rock from the property!
  • Gazebo: Our communal shaded area holds the kitchen on one side and a lounging/hanging out area on the other. The lounging area has a sofa and several comfortable chairs to relax in with a hammock hanging in an ohia tree on the back. The kitchen has bar stools and a table to eat on.
View/Location
  • Ocean View: Our 3 acres sports many fantastic views of the ocean and South Point. All the sleeping spots have private views of the ocean and a private place to relax beside them (either a picnic table, outdoor swing, bench, or hammock).
  • Mountain View: Beautiful views up one of the largest mountains in the world - Mauna Loa.
Communications
  • Telephone: No phone provided BUT many cell services work well here - particularly Cingular, and to a lesser extent, Verizon.
  • WiFi (Wireless Internet): FREE wireless internet that we promise works great throughout the whole property and inside each rental (the range from our tree-mounted wireless antennae is VERY strong, unlike the wireless at most places). Bring your own laptop and working wireless card and you'll have faster Internet than you've ever had!
Suitability
  • No Pets Allowed: Contact owner as special exceptions may be possible. If you are lucky, the owner's very friendly English bulldog puppy and/or loving cat may be around (they are kept on a leash at all times).
  • Not Suitable for Children: This property is mainly built on flattened lava rock, with some pristine areas left in the original lava condition. Although our eco-resort would be a wonderful experience for children to learn about this special environment, we are worried about the responsibility of allowing children here. If necessary and only after signing a waiver, we may consider exceptions.
  • Smoking Allowed: Smoking allowed outside only (NOT in the yurt or VW buses).
  • Smoking Not Allowed: Smoking not allowed inside the rentals.
