About this property

Tropical garden bungalow - all the comforts

Honey House is a finely finished piece of craftsmanship. Easy access, no stairs. It is a stand-alone 480 square foot garden bungalow.
Hardwoods accent the living area. The full bath features a tiled shower, granite counter, and access to a garden lanai. We feature whole house water filtration and UV treatment, with regular ph adjustment so you can drink from any faucet in the house. The kitchen has a gas range and all kinds of cooking equipment. There is a king size bed and a big fluffy futon couch that can be turned into a 2nd bed if needed.

We have fiberoptic wifi. Works for Zoom and phone calls, streaming, etc.

Honey House has a floor and a ceiling fan, screened windows, windows that close in case of wind or rain, curtains for privacy. On site host in separate house in case you need anything.

We offer plenty of fresh fruit from our orchards, whatever is in season. Oranges, lemons, avocados and bananas are usually available during winter months. Exotics like mangosteen and jaboticaba happen periodically. In the orchard is a shared outdoor shower, hot & cold, also filtered and drinkable.

We are located on a secluded clothing optional acre in Kehena Beach Estates, on the the Puna coastline, and most easily accessed from Hilo airport. We are only 5 minutes walk from Kehena black sand beach yet surrounded by fruit trees, fragrant flowers, and edible gardens. The song of the frogs, crickets and toads have a delightful natural rhythm that puts us to sleep every night. We have colorful house geckos, a suite of outdoor cats and muscovy ducks, and sometimes wild pigs visit. Temperatures in the winter are sometimes in the sixties at night and usually in the eighties by mid day. Winter is humpback whale season and whale song can sometimes be heard at night right from your bed.

You can walk two blocks down our quiet street to the end and then take a neighborhood trail that comes out on Kalapana Kapoho Road right across from the beach. Or take the road all the way. Hawaiian spinner dolphins often stop in for a visit to our beach. Kehena Beach faces east. It is sunny in the morning and shady in the afternoon. Quiet and often nearly deserted in the morning, a big party with drumming every Sunday afternoon.

Paradise
We enjoyed our stay immensely. It was the best Hawaiian vacation yet! Better than Maui or Kauai. Far away from the resorts, the house is on a piece of land surrounded by floura and fauna on the SE corner of the island. The sound of the birds were magical, almost hypnotic. We loved our daily visits from the kitties and ducks. It is walking distance to a black sand beach which was our favorite on the island. It is down the road from a hippyish farmers market. One review I read said it’s a place for vegan crazed hippies which is correct and great! We didn’t get to go to the live music on Wednesday nights. Pahoa was cool and we loved Kaleos. Dave was our favorite host, he is has great energy and obviously loves the life he lives on this beautiful land.

Relaxing stay near the shore
The property is a small studio bungalow. The kitchen has the necessities: stove, fridge, coffee maker, pots, pans, etc. The bathroom is clean. The main room has a comfortable king bed, sofa and dinner table. The new high speed Wifi was a pleasant surprise and makes up for the absence of a cell signal. David is super friendly and accommodating. The yard is a working food forest, complemented by ducks and cats (lots of cats). The gifts of fresh fruit and avocados were very welcome! The beach is a short walk, but everything else is a drive, so it's a good idea to stock up before heading down. This was our third or maybe fourth stay and we've always enjoyed it. We're looking forward to another visit, hopefully not too long from now!

Honey House
Quaint property tucked away in a quiet neighborhood and very close to the beach. It’s a little far from activities but a nice change to get off the grid and unwind.

Why they chose this property

We have loved this area since we first arrived as visitors in the 80's. Have seen the various lava flows over the years, development and changes... and the beauty of this place never fails to make us feel blessed to be here.

What makes this property unique

We were looking for soil so we could grow fruit trees and a garden. Also wanted to be close to Kehena beach.
