Sobre esta propriedade

Private Architect Ocean Retreat • Sleeps 8–9 Amazing Views Exceptional Location

Kalapana Beach Haven is a private, architect-designed oceanfront retreat offering expansive views and exceptional seclusion. Designed for comfort and understated luxury, it provides generous space for a peaceful escape or time with family and friends. 4 distinct sleeping areas, each with its own bathroom ensure privacy and flexibility. The home features a refined indoor–outdoor tropical design, set directly on the coastline.

The central staircase in this 3 level home bisects the house into two independently functioning wings affording privacy in the bedrooms.

The home has 4 sleeping spaces: a large main California king suite with a TV lounge area, a queen suite with a full bath, a double library suite with a shower. There is also a screened lanai at the garden level with a queen & single room (which can also serve as a yoga/exercise/massage studio) with a half bath and outdoor shower. The linens are all high quality with plush towels and high thread count sheets. The well-equipped gourmet kitchen has lots of counter space.

There are several outdoor spaces: an upper deck with commanding ocean views, a large main deck nestled at tree level with a gas grill, an umbrella and a table seating 6, a covered garden lanai great for meditation and reading, and a hot tub with a deck.

The house is spacious, but not overwhelming. It was built with the idea that everyone should be able to feel at home here. Rich tropical timbers, beautiful natural sandstone, high ceilings, beautiful views from every window and a dramatic open stairway give the feeling of space and calm.

Kalapana Beach Haven feels grand, rich and earthy. The oversized front doors open onto a foyer and a dramatic wide, open stairway that runs up through the center of the home. The stairs were designed with wide treads and a low rise making the house easily accessible. The central staircase was constructed in Bali and shipped back to Hawaii in large sections. custom doors, windows and furniture made from tropical hardwoods (Merbau, Teak and Tigerwood) all imported from Bali. The Bathrooms and decks are covered in gorgeous Palimanan sandstone tiles. High ceilings throughout the home give it an expansive feeling, and showcase the magnificent views.

This house is simply stunning! Our stay was absolutely exceptional in every way. Tim proactively provided very useful information about the area and the house prior to our arrival. Kate greeted us at the house at check-in and provided a welcoming and thorough tour of the house and all of its features. Kate also provided local recommendations that enhanced our experience during our stay.My wife and I stayed at the house for this trip, but the house can easily accommodate 8-9 people very comfortably. The setting is breathtaking- especially the views from the top rooms and deck. The black lava “beach/cliffs” behind the house is breathtaking! We loved the sound of the birds, frogs and the thunderous waves at night. While earplugs are provided, we enjoyed our nights without using the earplugs.The kitchen has everything you need to prepare your meals (you provide the ingredients that are perishable, but the house is stocked with spices and condiments). This was unexpected and better than most of our rental experiences. The master bed was very comfortable- the master bath exceptional- the sunrise views unbelievable!My wife and I were especially impressed by the artworks throughout the house and the extensive library!If you are visiting on a Wednesday and/or Saturday- you must visit the local farmer’s market. We highly recommend Tim’s place- if it is available- book it immediately! We plan to return with our adult kids in the near future- it is a treasure to share!

Peaceful Haven

This home is perfection. The location is quiet, private, and a bit remote, which is exactly what we wanted. The home itself is extremely well appointed and immaculately clean. Cooking was easy in the very well equipped kitchen. Listening to the waves at night was very relaxing and perhaps our favorite part was the very short walk to the lava cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Beautiful location, gorgeous house

The location is dramatic, overlooking the ocean and lava flow. It is great for families. We were there for Christmas. Its a short drive from a gorgeous black sand beach, and you can visit the active volcanic areas. The garden is great with a path out to the lava coast. Shop in Hilo on your way in though - there is not a lot immediately around the house.

Luxury Retreat

Fantastic location and house tucked in at the end of road surrounded by a dense forest. The host was excellent and very helpful, in fact when the washing machine was broken she did the laundry at her house! The description of the house is spot on but much more fantastic when experienced in person. The kitchen was a joy to prepare meals. The evenings where magical with the stars, the sounds of the fauna and the sound of the ocean.

Amazing property

We (my adult sons ages 30 and 27 and I) rented this home as a base for our several day visits to Volcanoes National Park. The location was quite good taking us less than a hour drive each way. This is a fabulous home both inside and out. We loved the interior decor and Zen feel of the structure, furnishings and art. The bedrooms were like being in tree houses at night with the sounds of rain and waves crashing on the lava beach. The master bedroom has a very comfortable bed, pillows and linens. Our favorite things were the top floor outdoor balcony and the short walk to the lava and black sand beaches. So relaxing and incredibly beautiful. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks to our host for the fruit basket, brief history of the location (very interesting) and great tips on our arrival!

Great property and great location

Staying at Tim's place with my family provide the space and convenience of a massive house at the price of a hotel room. The location was great as the main focus of our trip to the big island was the volcano attractions. I highly recommend taking a bike ride out to the lava flow at night which was only a 5 min drive to the park entrance. The space was great providing bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone. Very nicely decorated and the huge central staircase have the house a luxury feel. The ocean is a short 3 minute stroll down a path from the house and you can walk out to the old lava flow. Additional things to do around the area include the Kapoho tide pools (favorite after the lava flow viewing) near by as well as the Saturday market on the way back to Hilo. Pahoa had an interesting selection of restaurants that would provide enough variety for at least 4 or 5 days. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks Tim for your hospitality.

When you think of paradise

Our stay in Kalapana was everything we imagined it would be and more. The property was absolutely breathtaking and was nothing short of a dream in paradise. Every angle of this home was incredible. From the front door to the spectacular view out every window, we were in awe. My children ages 3-12 loved the property and the geckos. They spent hours in the hot tub as well. My in laws that are in their 70s loved the lanai and having breakfast and dinner outside listening to the ocean. My personal favorite, the shower! I loved having a view of the jungle and the ocean every morning in the shower. It was stunning! The house is very much in the jungle. Be prepared for bugs, geckos and frogs (all night). We personally loved the nighttime lullaby of the frogs, but the hosts provided ear plugs if it is a bother. The bug situation was a little unnerving at night to my 12 year old daughter, but if you just close your eyes and pretend they aren’t there, you will be fine. I expected them, so it wasn’t a concern. The home had absolutely everything that we needed for our stay and Kate was an incredible host. She greeted us at the property when we arrived and had fresh fruit for us. What a pleasant surprise. She provided recommendations for the area and made our stay a vacation we won’t soon forget. We will definitely return if we ever come to the island again.

Paradise in paradise

I recently spent three weeks at Kalapana Beach Haven. This extraordinary home is in complete harmony with its surroundings. At the end of what is in effect a small cul-de-sac, the house is built to maximize views – and privacy. There are neighbors on either side, but thick vegetation meant that I never saw them, and almost never heard them. The house is ocean front, but a strip of jungle separates it from the beach. This ensures beautiful, garden views from the ground and first-floor lanais, and an exceptionally stunning panorama from the upstairs lanai that takes you over the treetops and off toward the horizon. I brought books to read and DVDs to watch and touched none of them; instead I spent countless hours savoring the view from the upstairs lanai… Others have written about how well-appointed the house is; I’d like to add how well it breathes. Screens and louvers capture and circulate every breeze; on the rare occasions that the trade winds die down, there are a couple fans to fall back on. I don’t know if the architect planned it this way, but the house also lets in light at all the right times, but shields you from the harshest effects as the sun moves across during the day. The location is, to be fair, remote – but that’s exactly what I was looking for. Pāhoa, Keaʻau and Hilo are all easy drives, and you’re well positioned to explore the Big Island’s spectacular scenery. The best access point to the lava flows in the Volcano National Park is just a couple miles away; seeing lava burbling out of the ground inspires awe. Tim, the owner, could not have been more accommodating; I appreciate his patience with all my questions beforehand, as well as his suggestions of things to see and do. Kate, the house manager, was equally helpful. I am forever in her debt for recommending the Makuʻu Farmers Market on Sundays and its stunning selection of tropical fruit (among many other things). Although I did not meet the cleaner, Selah, in person, she did an thorough job mid-stay and was admirably honest in her timekeeping. Kalapana Beach Haven is the perfect house in the most beautiful part of the best side of the best island in Hawaii. I could not recommend it more highly.

The property is beautiful. Every door window and furniture is thoughtfully curated. Kate met us at the house and gave us a guided tour. She made a delicious fruit basket with local fruits. The house was extremely clean and well equipped. I loved that the owner lets you leave food and drink items in the fridge and freezer for the next guest to use. The view from the home is breathtaking. And there are plenty of windows for all the sea breeze to circulate through the house. We truly enjoyed our stay!

Take a walk on the wet side

Very nice. No crowds, living with the locals. If you want some distance from the tourists, this location is perfect. House is one of the best available and would definitely rent again. Watch the stars come out and the moonrise from the deck as you relax to the sounds of the jungle and the waves crashing against the rugged coastline. The Puna Coast is beautiful and in a constant state of change. Great ocean access from the house. Really interesting area with huge lava flows as young as four years ago. See geology in action. Pele is the ultimate recycler. Great for 2-8 guests.

Beautiful and relaxing

Two families enjoyed three nights at this beautiful house. The description of the house is spot-on. There were gorgeous views of the ocean during the day and the sounds of the waves, rainforest, and views of stars at night. We loved the rainforest path to the ocean. It is important to note that although the ocean is walking distance, the waves are treacherous and not for swimming. We really appreciated Kate's amazing communication, the well stocked kitchen (including pantry items like spices, coffee and oils). The check out process was fast and easy.

This property was exactly as we had pictured it. Lying in bed looking out over the ocean and listening to the crash of waves was amazing and very calming. We have never had a more relaxing vacation. The house was well stocked and there was a small store 1/2 mi away that has everything at reasonable prices and the small town of Pahoa was only 9 mi away and had several good restaurants and shops.

Unique opportunity to stay in a custom designed home with beautiful open floor plan listening to the waves and looking at the stars from our bedroom.

Short 2 minute path leading from property to coast line with unique views of old lava flow and stunning views of the ocean.

Tropical retreat

My family (party of 9) stayed in this tropical retreat for 9 nights. The house is beautiful and exactly as the pictures show it. I wanted a place for my family to relax in a Hawaiian home and our expectations were far exceeded! The house is beautifully decorated and appointed; you won’t miss any comforts during your stay. The kitchen had everything you need for meal preparation; the yard and gardens were beautiful and lush. The walk to the ocean was short and the coast and ocean waves were spectacular! Views and the sounds of the ocean were a delight to wake to each morning and fall asleep to every night. There was an abundance of gear available for recreational activities for day hikes and picnics, boogie boards and snorkeling. We fell in love with this house and can’t wait to return! Tim and Kate were a delight to work with and very prompt to respond to emails/questions. We made day trips all over the island and looked forward to returning each time to the comfort of this Hawaiian beach haven. Farmers markets, the shops and restaurants in Pahoa (don’t miss the Tin Shack Bakery!) and hanging out in Hilo were favorite nearby activities. Our stay was just magical and I’m already looking forward to another visit. Highly recommend this home!

Sobre o anfitrião

Anfitrião: Tim Ambrose

Imagem do perfil do anfitrião
When designing the house with my architect, it was important to me to create spaces where everybody could feel at home. While the house is large, none of the spaces is overwhelming. Each room offers an opportunity to sit and chat, or read and reflect.

Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade

I was living in Kaimu when the owner of this property contacted me. It had been buried for 20 years by jungle and when I opened the street I saw the colonnade of tall palms along the street and at the front of the property. I knew I could build a large home without it feeling out of proportion because of the 30 foot palm trees. Stepping into the jungle below, there are ruins and it feels as though there are Menehune, or Hawaiian pixies in the trees. It's magical.

O que faz essa propriedade ser única?

Before building, I was told that this land use to belong to a Kahuna, or Hawaiian healer. The site used to be the site of the "free house." It was called the "free house" because it was a space free from spirits where people could sleep. The louvers in the house create a nearly constant breeze. The design feels like a big set of lungs surrounding a central core and as I walk up the stairs I feel inspired - I breathe.
