A great off-grid getaway
We had a really nice stay at Octopus House! It's remote enough to feel like a retreat but it's easy to get into town. The landscape is beautiful and the house has all the basics, including running water with hot showers and a toilet. The only shortcoming was that the mattress was worn out. But that said the house was a great home base, with just enough kitchenette for 2 peoples' needs, gorgeous views, and creature comforts. I'm already thinking about when I can come back!

Wonderful house with beautiful views
I wanted peace and quiet and that’s what I got. This was my second stay at this property and I hope to be back again. I love the design of this house and the location is to die for. Star viewing is wonderful. The owners were easy to communicate with as well. My only complaint is that I wish I would have gotten to stay longer...but schedule did not permit. Despite the 2018 lava flow covering some of my favorite Puna destinations I still enjoy this part of the island and there is still a lot to see and do here. Thanks again Jeanette and Michael!

Property listing is inaccurate and host communication and problem resolution was unacceptable
The amenities listed for this property are wildly inaccurate. There is no grill or stove. Before I traveled to the property I sent a text message to the host confirming a grill, because I didn't see the grill in the photos, yet it was listed as an amenity. I received no response. I even sent a message to the chat help who confirmed the grill. I went ahead and purchased two pieces of fish $30. to prepare as a meal. When we arrived to the property we couldn't find the grill. I texted the host and asked where it was - no response. At the end of the stay I left the fish in the freezer and texted that information to the host and asked for a refund for the amount I had paid for the fish. Finally, I heard back and she refused. She denied that the grill was in the listing. I sent back a text telling her that it is listed as an amenity. I haven't received a response. Poor communication, poor problem resolution and clearly unaware of the property amenities listed. I've been a Homeaway member since 2016 and this is the first time I've ever encountered an unreasonable host.

Truly magic!
We had such a special experience staying at the Lava House and are so happy we had the chance to spend a few days in this unique little corner of the planet. The Lava House was the perfect size for my husband and I, we cooked all of our meals and loved sitting on the porch watching the sunsets. We've never experienced a landscape as powerful as the lava field- it made for wonderful exploration. The Kalapana Gardens neighborhood has a spirit of independence and resiliency that we found incredibly inspiring. If you have an adventurous and curious spirit, you simply must find yourself here and experience the way this community lives in connection with nature.

A taste of magic
Being in this special home - created with intention and love (which was palpable) on the sacred land of Pele’s creation was majestic. Gracious and communicative hosts made it even more comfortable. We can’t wait to go back.

Octupus House Getaway
We had the opportunity to rent out both the orchid house and the octopus house in the bundle package. This was a great way for us to experience two parts of the island and enjoy two very different aspects of Hawaii. Definitely an amazing getaway and respite it from the day to day, and couldn’t have asked for a better host. Definitely would recommend and will definitely be staying again!

Unique location
First, I want to make it known that owner Jeannette is fantastic. She was very accommodating when we had to reschedule our trip not once but twice because of Hawaii COVID protocol.
Second, this house is such an unique opportunity. The location on the lava field is one that makes you appreciate the beauty and the power of Kilauea. I definitely recommend a four wheel drive vehicle to get to the property. We rented a wrangler and it was very useful. Google Kalapana Gardens to learn more about the location and the community.
Third, the house itself is well kept and beautiful. The views from both balconies are beautiful with unobstructed views of the ocean. The stars at night are breathtaking.
If we make it back to Big Island we would LOVE to stay in “Octopus House” again.

Unique
I believe that each person's standards are different. If your idea of 5-Star is a swanky resort then stick to the Hilton's. But if you're looking for something unique and off the beaten path...WAY OFF the beaten path...Actually there is no path beyond this point...then this is the place for you. Totally cool to think that you are staying volcanic rock that is still shifting. There is a smell in the area but we chalked that up to the hardened LAVA!!! LOL Seriously though! this is a cool place. The drive to and from the main road is rocky so you can only go 5-10 mph. and the next closest town is Pahoa which is maybe 20-30 min so grab what you need while you're out. Bed was comfy and bathroom and kitchen were more than enough and certainly better than any other price you'll find. Thank you!

Nothing can prepare you for your first drive out to this place. But once you have done it, you are rewarded with amazing views and fantastic sunrises. Check in was easy and communication was stellar. The experience of staying out on the lava field was a definite MUST do. Just fantastic. Cute little comfortable house.

Experience of a Lifetime!
Wow! Wow! Wow! This is an experience of a lifetime. To stay on a Lava Flow was something we will never forget. We walked to the ocean and stood and marveled at the beauty of it all. The place had everything we needed! We did get there after dark and GPS took us past the place. Once we found the Kalapuna Garden entrance, it was worth the time it took to get here. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to feel like they are walking on the moon or another planet! Thank you for sharing your place with us! Lee & Peggy

Awesome and unique experience in a self-sufficient home on a lava field only steps to the ocean!
I can't say enough good things about this place. What a unique experience!! You can hear the ocean waves crash on the cliffs that are a short walk through the easily traversed volcano field. Absolutely amazing place to see the sunrise. The house itself feels brand new. We slept with the upstairs door open and enjoyed the ocean breeze while listening to the waves crash.

Wann kann man schon auf einmal Lavafeld schlafen ...
Und genau das ist es, was wir wollten: auf einem Lavafeld schlafen. Die Unterkunft ist genau wie beschrieben, ich würde es als Glamping bezeichnen, denn es ist eine Art liebevolles Hexenhaus. Es ist dank der GPS Koordinaten wirklich gut zu finden und entsprach der Beschreibung. Nachts wird es wirklich, wirklich heiß - da es keine Klima und keine Ventilatoren gibt, ist man im Obergeschoss angewiesen, der ... wie der Wind so ist - mal da ist und mal nicht. Wer also bei Wärme nicht gut schläft überlegt sich die Buchung - für alle anderen ist es ein tolles Erlebnis 👍

A wonderful place to stay
The Octopus House and surrounding area of Kalapana were a favorite part of our time spent in Hawaii. Laying on the lava fields and looking at the starts at night is something I will never forget. The home is well appointed and comfortable for 2. The nightly breeze helped keep bedroom cool.

Truly Unique and Special
Stay in a lava flow? In a fantastic clean and neat off the grid little house? View the ocean over a lava field and being able to feel alone and isolated with people around? View a developing culture and community in a wild, severe, yet strangely beautiful setting? Ease of access and good communication? All of these and more.
Just make sure you have done all shopping before arrival and you use gps settings on google maps. Would go.back in a heartbeat.

Off the Grid
What an amazing place. We absolutely loved it. The place is as advertise its small but gorgeous and the view is Great. One thing I highly recommend is @ sunset walk out into the Lave field and wait until is completely dark a watch the sky. We stayed there for at least an hour after dark. Make sure you have a flash light or head lamp. Make sure you prepared there is only a single burner to cook on but as a hole we Loved it. The bed was super comfortable and the rain squall in the middle of the night was beautiful music . We only stayed one night so, Can't wait to go back and stay longer.
