About this property
Kehena Treetop Bungalow-Near Black Sand Beach
Kehena Treetop Bungalow – Close to Kehena Black Sands Beach
Kehena Treetop Bungalow is a tropical paradise, nestled in among lush green foliage and fruit trees. You’re going to enjoy the beautifully refinished hardwood floors and the tropcial décor.
This house is the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of the traditional vacation areas, so forget about having to fight traffic and congestion with other visitors. When you’re not out enjoying the beauty and experiences of the Big Island, you’ll enjoy staying “home” and lounging on the lanai in the hammock, or just sitting at the table reading a good book.
Perfect for a couple or family, the master bedroom is split into two rooms to easily accommodate the two queen beds, wardrobe, desk, and walk-in closet, with lots of room to spare! And the futons in the living room can provide additional sleeping space for children, if needed. Starlink internet w/Wifi, a selection of books and DVDs (for both adults and children) are available for your entertainment.
A full kitchen is well equipped with all your cooking and dining needs, including a blender, microwave, and rice cooker. With a 4-person dining table, additional pub-style table in the kitchen, and breakfast bar, there is ample space for dining in comfort. And while this house, like most of the island, is on a water-catchment system, the home features a top-of-the-line water filtration and UV purification system.
In addition to the inside bathroom with shower, an additional screened outside shower (complete with hot water) allows you to easily rinse off the sand from the beach while enjoying the sounds of nature. You’ve got it all in Paradise!
Please expect to share your space with some of our friendly Hawaii geckos, lizards, coqui frogs, birds, and plants.
