Ocean Front HOME on the Big Island! Lookout and view Heaven - Maka'Ala Lani!!

Located in a quiet neighborhood on the pahoehoe lava rocks above the blue Pacific Ocean. Wake up to the most beautiful sunrises and fall asleep to the lull of the ocean waves.

Go for a walk or run on the ocean front or through the neighborhood. Take a nap in the hammock chair or read a book on 1 of the 3 lanais (patio/decks). Gotta work? NO problem - fast WIFI and several quiet places to hunker down. Take some quality time and prepare fabulous meals in the larger well equipped kitchen. Wanna soak? There is a 3 person hot tub on the ground floor lanai (please no children under 14 yrs. old) Get cozy and watch a movie on the brand new Roku 65" television in the living room or at the other end of the living room pull out the yoga matts or pick up the ukulele or guitar and make some music!

Do you want to explore? You can text Janice the host directly for suggestions and of course there will be the "What to do while in Paradise on Big Island" email you will get once your reservation is confirmed.



The vacation home features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

An Unforgettable Experience

I stayed with my wife and five kids. We fit comfortably in the house, which actually appears larger than we expected. The home is right against the sea which makes for an amazing view and experience. It is set in a very friendly and walkable neighborhood we had fun exploring and despite being near so many homes, the location is very natural and fun with wild chickens, and a diverse colorful vegetation. Janice was a great host, and provided us with everything we needed and very accessible and made sure we enjoyed ourselves. The kids had the time of their life and we would love to go back sometime!

amazing property

This was a fantastic house! The view was spectacular and location was perfect. It was centrally located for Volcano National Park, Mauna Kea, Akaka Falls, and other tourist attractions on this side of the island. The house was spotless and the owner thought of everything. Kitchen had everything we needed, plenty of towels, sheets for the pull out bed, even the light switches were labeled. Highly recommend this property! Spectacular!

Best rental ever!

We have stayed in many vacation rentals over the years and this was one of the best. Very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and the appliances seem very new. The water dispenser was a really nice bonus. We loved that the light switches were all labeled. If the house gets warm while you explore during the day, just open windows and turn on the modern ceiling fans and you’re cool in no time. And the VIEW…amazing. We would rent this home again in a heartbeat

Idyllic Panoramic Ocean Views and Vibes!!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We were warmly welcomed by the owner, Janice, who happened to be available, the views of the ocean and crash and thrum of the ocean waves hitting the lava out front and the full moon rising, sunrises and sunsets are wonderfully etched in our memories! Great neighborhood for walking, too! We will definitely stay here again! Mahalo Janice! Virginia and family

Amazing Views

Janice was a great host! The moment she found out we had a kid with us, she let us know about a playpen and other kid necessities. Thankfully our 10 year old is not high maintenance anymore 😉, but we still appreciated the offer. The property itself is absolutely stunning. We loved having access to the bluffs and being able to wake up to the sunrise on the ocean every morning. The location is good - close enough to town if needed but far enough away as to not be in the middle of all of the tourists. The house was very clean, and instructions were clearly placed for using the spa (NICE treat on starry nights!), Wi-Fi, and large variety of lights. We also truly appreciated the large ceiling fans and extra fans in the closet, as it was pretty warm when we visited. Finally, the well stocked kitchen was very useful. We cooked a few nights and used the Tupperware that was provided. This is definitely a place that we will recommend to friends and family and if we every visit the island again- we’ll be here for sure!!

Great Stay in a Lovely House

This home was amazing! The master suite was beautiful with a balcony overlooking the ocean. The sunrises were incredible! The home was quite spacious. It had great amenities to make things easy (like baggies, oil) and also beach gear/towels. Janice was a great host - excellent communication.

Great time.

Everything was great with the house and location. Though the neighbors dog barked us awake between 4am and 7am every single day we were there. She keeps her dog outside on the porch right next to the bedroom window of the rental property. If not for that the location would have been 5 stars.
