Kehena / Pohoiki Black Sandのビーチと溶岩畑の近くに素敵で大きな家。

Yes, we realize that many guests really appreciate extra suggestions about ‘ what to see’ after they arrive so we provide a list of places that we think are worthwhile seeing.

There is an AT&T tower up the hill from us so that works best but there is a landline in the house and we offer free long distance to mainland.

So glad they loved the place. It’s certainly a great value for what you get. We will have to put in brighter lights. It’s a comment we never heard before.

These are return guests w/ large family who stayed several weeks. If you leave food out, it attracts ants. Termites are a constant battle in the area and are treated yearly.

Aloha Lahela, Thank you so much for the positive comments and I agree that this is the best deal around. We will continue to provide 'the best vacation rental experience' for your hard earned money - as long as we can, and we love hearing that people really appreciate Coconut Palms and Kalapana.

Aloha, glad that you loved the place and you are certainly welcome back anytime. We always ask tennants to avoid leaving the outside lights on at night because 'everyone knows' that lights attract insects' any where that you go in Hawaii . Some people forget or disregard what they are told and find a few cane beatles outside on the porch lights. This is normally not much of a problem to most people as we keep our land cleared around the house. During the day, insects are not an issue at all. Please don't let a few harmless cane beatles scare you away from Hawaii because that would be a shame. LOL Mahalo and aloha.

Yes, we are 10 blocks from the ocean and walking distance from Kehena Beach. We have a distant ocean view from the house which is a quiet Hawaiian Community in beautiful Puna. We are glad that our guests enjoyed the house as they told us directly.

We strive to improve our place and have made many positive changes in the past few months. The house is located in a beautiful semi- remote area in Puna near the Leilani Estates eruption where some roads were destroyed by the lava flow. We are now looking forward to the county re-opening the road between Rte 132 and Rte 137 which may improve access to another large black sand beach this summer.

For clarity. ..There is a private studio that we rent on the side of the building and it has a private entrance. Nobody shares your space in the house as it is private as well.

Yes, it’s a great place to relax in a quiet, peaceful area. Nearest store is 4 miles. Nearest town 17 miles.

It’s very rare that anyone complains about the heat as the house is well ventilated.

We are 100% sure that they didn’t get bit by insects inside the house. The island has little fire ants that live in trees and and plants. When kids and adults are walking around around outside, sometimes the ants can fall off a tree on to your clothes and eventually end up on your skin. The bite is very itchy. Everyone on the island is quite aware of these little ants that are all over the island. We also treat the grounds around the house regularly. We are always on the look out for insects in the house. Regarding the BBQ. They probably used the rock BBQ outside and not the nice gas grill in the garage - which is clean and has utensils ( prongs, brush scraper, spatula) on it. This guest probably didn’t know about the nice gas grill in the garage because they didn’t ask.
