Kehena Moana Kai - Oceanfront Beach House w/Heated Pool

Perched in the sunbelt at the edge of a dramatic oceanfront sea cliff, this honeymooner’s paradise sits in the heart of the lush Puna District rainforest on the Big Island of Hawaii. With two air-conditioned bedrooms, this private cliff house retreat accommodates up to four guests in comfort and style.

Please note: Due to the property’s elevation—approximately 75 feet above sea level—it is not recommended for young children.

This 2-story, 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom coastal home holds the distinction of being the only licensed oceanfront vacation rental in the Kehena Beach community with a heated private pool. The home is uniquely situated with no neighboring dwellings on either side and is enclosed by 6-foot lava rock walls and a custom-designed metal entry gate created by a French sculptor.

Previously selected as a grand prize in a prestigious Hawaii vacation sweepstakes, this remarkable home stands out for its combination of privacy, artistry, and ocean views.


The private in-ground heated pool, nestled among a coconut grove, includes spa jets and a remote-controlled Endless Pools swim current system. Rinse off afterward in the outdoor hot water shower.

Inside, the home is finished with Italian travertine tile throughout. Newly installed ocean-facing windows frame spectacular sunrise views over the Pacific. Binoculars are provided, though often unnecessary — Spinner Dolphins are frequent visitors to the cove, and during the winter season, humpback whales can often be seen breaching in the distance. You’ll also find reef fish feeding below, and might spot the native Hawaiian Pueo (owl) or ʻIo (hawk) soaring above the coastline. At night, the rhythmic calls of the coqui frogs blend with the sound of the waves for a truly immersive Hawaiian experience.

The primary bedroom features a California King bed, Smart TV, remote-controlled blinds, and direct views of the ocean and Kehena Beach. A washer and dryer are located adjacent to the bedroom.

The guest bedroom includes a full-size bed, Smart TV, remote blinds, and overlooks the pool and ocean.

The bathroom is wrapped floor-to-ceiling in Italian travertine and features a glass block shower and a high-tech washlet toilet.

The great room spans the entire second floor, giving the feeling of standing on the prow of a ship. With sweeping bidirectional coastal views, you can see a nearby pineapple grove and several Easter Island-style Moai statues, adding to the exotic charm of the home. The fully equipped kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, and the dining area features a bar-height table with seating for four.

In the living area, two oversized sofas and a large chair with ottoman offer a cozy place to relax and take in the view. Special effects ambient lighting in a Rapa Nui (Easter Island) theme, designed by a Los Angeles-based artist, adds a dramatic nighttime flair.

Just a short walk away is Kehena Black Sand Beach, created during the 1955 lava flow. The trail is steep and rocky but well worth the effort. This one-of-a-kind beach is clothing-optional and home to a lively Sunday drum circle, adding a bohemian flair reminiscent of the 1960s.

Located just an hour’s drive from Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, home to one of the world’s most active volcanoes, this rental is an ideal base for exploring the Big Island.

We hope your stay at this unique oceanfront Hawaiian vacation rental leaves you with unforgettable memories and a true feeling of aloha.

The property is extremely secure, with 6-foot lava rock walls, artist-designed gates, and coordinated lighting. The entire oceanfront block is monitored 24/7 by a developer-managed video surveillance system, offering peace of mind during your stay.

This home has security cameras (exterior areas only).

Total # of cameras are 4:

One at garage door looking at parking, gate and street
One on top of garage looking at walkway, gate entrance and yard
One at front door looking at lanai, walkway and yard
One above the pool (outdoor shower not in view)

Magical Stay

I spent 3 life changing nights at this rental, and I am already planning my return. Words can't express how magical my stay was! I urge anyone thinking of renting this property to just do it. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT! The oceanside location of the home simply can not be beat - I don’t think you could get any closer to the ocean. Falling asleep to the sounds of the waves is what my life has been missing and I plan to visit this area of the Big Island as much as possible and hope to stay at this house again. I have seen a lot of ocean in the continental US, and trust me when I say you have not really seen the ocean until you visit this area of the Big Island, Hawaii. I spent as much time on the lanais, watching the waves. I even saw whales! My group and I were very comfortable here and we had everything we needed. We shopped for groceries in Pahoa and visited several farmer’s markets in the area. The beds were extremely comfortable and the property was very private. I am in love with this area, and plan to start looking at real estate in the area during my next stay. Terry and Amber, the property managers, were extremely helpful. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
