ENCHANTED GROTTO HUS UNDER JURASSISK STØRRELIGT TRÆ ER EN ROMANTISK GET-A-WAY

Velkommen til The Sweet Spot!

Dette er omtrent lige så unikt, som de kommer i kvarteret Kehena Beach langs Punas sydøstkyst på Big Island, Hawaii. Landet er en multidimensionel park med grotter, terrasser, dramatiske lavavægge, hvorfra der vokser massive Jurassic Park-størrelser. En med en gren, der er over 100 fod bred. Det er et ærefrygtindgydende sted, der tog 16 år at sætte de tre geologisk forbundne partier sammen for at skabe dette 1 1/2 acres paradis. Sweet Spot fik sit navn, fordi folk, der kom, altid sagde den samme ting, "Dette er en sød plet." Det er den slags sted, oplevelse, du skriver hjem om.

Det er cozily gemt under en skyhøje grøn baldakin i en fortryllende grotte med vinduer fra gulv til loft og ser ud i en betagende, magisk scene. Væggene er knudret fyrretræ og fliser / trægulve med eksotiske persiske tæpper. Overalt hvor man ser ud er grøn skønhed snørret med farverne i et tropisk paradis.
Siden 1991 har jeg samlet eksotik for at plante på ejendommen, så mine gæster kunne nyde en lang række fauna, blomster og frugt. Sæsonmæssigt er cacao bælter, lime, grapefrugt, avacado, mango, papaya, til kokke er rosmarin, citrongræs, kaffir lime blade, oregano og Hawaiian og Ghost peberfrugter klar til brug.
Da jeg først ankom, fandt jeg bevis for den gamle hawaiianske kultur, der havde levet i denne grotte, fodret med mangoerne og fodret dem til deres svin, der befandt sig i et grovt vægget penområde.
Du står bogstaveligt talt i trætoppene, når landet falder væk under de gigantiske grene af et Monkey Pod-træ. En lille sti dypper ned i grotten og bunden af træerne, og du træder ind i et andet rige og økosystem.
Den udendørs bruser og det økologisk sindede, duftfrie, komposterende toilet er beskyttet af
 et massivt mangotræ. En virkelig smuk og unik "badeværelse" oplevelse.
Vores bosiddende urekat, Meow Meow, holder ejendommen gnaver fri. Hun elsker at have selskab, men bor udenfor.

Sommerhuset er helt udenfor nettet, drevet af 100% solskin og regn. Gæster er ofte overrasket over, hvor komfortabel det er at leve i denne selvbærende model!
Du vil blive serenaderet i søvn af den behagelige sang fra Coqui-frøerne og det nærliggende brøl fra havet.
Kvarteret er behageligt at gå og kun få minutter til den spektakulære kystlinje og den valgfri tøj Kehena Black Sand Beach. Kehena Bay er et yndet tilholdssted for delfiner og besøges af hvaler om vinteren. En helt cool lokal scene har masser af farve og karakter.

Onsdag aften i Kalapana er onkel Robert's Open Air-landmændsmarked / ingen dækning af live musikbegivenhed. En lokal hawaiisk familie åbner deres sted for hundreder af mennesker, der kommer for at lytte til levende musik, får lokal mad og verdens mad fra sælgere, lokal kunst og håndværk, smykker og tøj. Vi danser, socialiserer og oplever, hvad det betyder at leve Aloha.
Den "røde vej" er et af de mest fantastiske drev på hele Hawaii. Desværre blev en god del af det dækket af lava i de sidste par måneder. Men det er en magisk skønhed, der stadig snor sig langs kysten gennem bevoksede træforede kurver, der skaber en tunnel af grønt.
Pahoa Town, 20 minutter væk, er oprindeligt en plantagenby og bevarer sin eklektiske scene. Tin Shack Bageri, Island Natural Food Store, thailandske, italienske, pizza, amerikanske, hawaiianske, sushi og kinesiske restauranter tilbyder en række lækre valgmuligheder til dit eget hjem eller til spisning.

Jeg ved, at du vil elske det her, hver krop gør det. Det er den slags sted. Rustik, elegant og 100% Aloha!

It's Just Like Avatar!!!

A beautiful and slightly secluded property that is practically in a jungle. This is the coolest place I have stayed for sure. Imagine Avatar the movie in real life, that's what I kept thinking to myself! Also there is a great black sand beach within walking distance!

What a great place

We live on the Big Island, but on the other side, and about once a year have a "staycation" in or near Pahoa. This has been one of our best experiences yet. This was island living as it should be; quiet, self sustaining, and filled with aloha. The grounds are full of tropical fruits and local plant life, and you are welcome to explore. The cottage has a very open but safe appeal to it snuggled under majestic trees. While there is not an ocean view, when it is still at night you can hear the surf, (The surf was high during our stay so no guarantees, just our experience). Kat and her daughter are amazing hosts who live just up the hill, and they are full of aloha to share. Loved meeting them and hope to see them again soon. Aloha from, Gabe, Jana, George, and Geneva

Really beautiful place but...

Cons: no hot water in the shower or house. At all. Ran ONLY the hot water line & never got hot water. Hubby bathed in kitchen sink with water from tea kettle. No privacy. At all. Other houses can be seen clearly from all windows & shower of this house. That deck? It's for anyone to use & anyone on it can look right down into your shower. A house up the hill can be clearly seen from shower which means they can clearly see you in the shower. We bought 50ft clothesline and 2 shower curtains from Walmart. Removed when we left. House has no curtains or blinds or any other attempts for privacy. Maybe a dressing blind would be nice to hide behind when getting dressed? No air conditioning. Cools off nicely at night & is fine into the am but then the humidity starts to climb & it's time for a cold shower & leave for the day. Off grid/solar power. Ran out of power one night. Came close on other nights. Issue if you need cpap. Very hard to find in the dark. Poor lady there had to direct us in. The good? Overall it was great! We slept well. The little peeper frogs sang loudly all night. The stars were beautiful! Vegetation like a lush rainforest. If you approach this with tent camping in mind, you'll do fine. We are both very happy we did this. Even with all the 'cons' for us, this place was a great experience & it's one we'll never forget. We talked about it since we've left & agree that we would stay here again but would be better prepared. Thanks for this place! Truly unique!

Stay here.

Kat was very welcoming and a great host. Her place is a perfect place to stay. The house is very comfortable with a huge window and view of the rain forest surroundings. Her yard and property is nicely landscaped with interesting plants and fruit trees. The location is great, a short walk to a beautiful and laid back beach, a short drive along a scenic road to snorkel spots, warm pools and flowing lava. I would definitely come back!

Three weeks at Puna Palisades

To begin, I must state that Kat is a wonderful host and was a delight to meet. However, the cottage was advertised as having a "composting toilet." The composting toilet was actually a 5 gallon bucket. While the contents may technically be composted, this was technically NOT a composting toilet. Upon arrival, we were informed that the resident cat needed to be fed twice a day. This detail was omitted in the description of the property. I graciously fed the cat, but as I was on vacation I would have preferred not having this assignment. I don't own a pet because I don't want to care for a pet. Finally, the bed pillows in the cottage reeked and should have been changed out years ago. In fact, the stench was so bad that I bought 2 new ones. So, to the next occupants, "you're welcome!"

Loved it. Exactly what I had imagined. Close to everything we wanted to see.

The house is in such a perfect setting. The sounds are incredible. It's like nature putting you to sleep every night. The interior fits it all. Meow Meow is awesome. There is something to be said about simple living. No stress and a great place to meditate. Thank You Kat. You are wonderful and perfect to deal with. Hope you have a wonderful day. I will be back. Aloha

Great location, relaxing stay

We had a wonderful time visiting the big island and staying in this cozy, relaxing home. It is tucked away nicely in the woods in a quiet area that is close to the beach, but not too far from the city life and attractions that the big island offers. Would highly recommend staying here if you plan to visit the big island, especially if you are flying into Hilo. Was a great weekend getaway.

Beyond great expectations!

I was very comfortable in a charming and rustic cottage in beautiful surroundings. Kehena black sand beach, Wai'opae tidepools and bike ride or hike to lava flow into the ocean were very close by. I love the friendly locals, and Kat the property manager and her daughter are the nicest and most helpful people. Also the pets (2 dogs and 3 cats) are super friendly and add character to this wonderful place.

Authentic Hawaiian experience

This is a beautiful place!!! The bed was comfortable, the shower under the mango tree unique and warm water. It was was unusual for us and out of the box. We ate and enjoyed the hot tub at nearby kanalui resort. Also enjoyed uncle jimmys, a place where wonderful food and art store with jewelry and pottery. Withinin 6 miles the most amazing lava experience, 4 m bike ride to see lava firehose. Never saw anything like it. Micheal is a wonderful host, did his best to help us! Lord Bless him and his house was special place to us.

Sneekily private close to lots of attractions

Marlins place was a perfect place to crash after full days or just chill around. The outdoor shower, huge trees and beautiful gardens made me feel like I was right in the jungle! It was a funky place with a welcoming host. Ill visit again. Thanks Marlin :)

I am a unique and rare individual and can tell you stories of running away with the circus, playing Las Vegas and headlining comedy clubs as a juggler last century. I am producer of the show LUMA: Art in Darkness which you can find by a google search. It is a human light show that has played internationally. I am the author of the Contemplative Navel, which you can see the cartoons of at mindofmarlin (dot) the the whole profile of me. I am a toy inventor Slingerzz which is based on how vines rap around things. I got the idea watching nature and you can see vids of those at MindofMarlin I am a humorous guy and a creative artist in many ways. My place is a reflection of my artistic and creative bent. I have been cited by POTUS for my volunteer work with boys and mentoring and work as a life and transformational coach as my life has been a study of communications, humanities, psychology, mythology, and various modalities of facilitation.
I have traveled to over 40 countries and have stayed at lots and lots of hotels and the like. I created a place that really embraces the person so they feel at home.

Derfor valgte værten dette overnatningssted

It took sixteen years to put the three lots together as the fit geologically, You will understand when you come. I could have gone for the view of the lava and the ocean but I wanted the lush and green grotto with the three giant trees as my companions and I am so glad I went that way. I came to the area in the 80's and founded a juggling community and lived in a tree house with no electricity for five years. But the time came to move on and I found this place which is closer to the beach and stunning. That is the best word to describe the property as it really does take your breath away when you drop down into the Magic Grotto or what Hawaiian's call a "Puka" which literally means hole. KiPuka street has a collapsed lava tube that runs the length of the street and this is at the top of the division with the most dramatic lava wall that you look out over from the window seat. The trees and terrain is what drew me here.

Derfor er dette overnatningssted unikt

The view from the main room out into the Grotto is a marvel to behold. The outdoor shower next to a massive trunk of a mango tree is priceless and looking up at the big tree laying on the giant roots that snake over the ground will have you feeling like a little kid again. You have stayed and may have forgotten the many hotels you have stayed in. This place is unforgettable. The tree deck is the kind of place where people just melt over. Big enough for a dinner party and so enchanting to lounge in. The WiFi signal works well enough that you can video conference and your friends and family won't believe you are up in a tree top. Though in a subdivision, you would hardly know it give how private this location is.
