Tropical “Jungalow” Near the Sea
Enjoy indoor-outdoor living in our bright, open home... Relax on lanai overlooking lush vegetation and lava outcrops, smell the fragrant Hawaiian air and listen to the waves crash in the distance. Secluded and quiet--a garden oasis far from the maddening crowd (read: 45 min from Hilo) Open windows allow for trade-wind ventilation throughout the home (read:no AC). Rainwater-harvest for showers/sinks (triple filtered), spring water for drinking in kitchen. (read: rural). Garden, home and carport Parking available, no more than two vehicles. We live in the back of the property. The jungalow is located 16 miles from Hilo airport, four miles makai (toward sea) off HWY 130, five miles to nearest mini-market or 8 miles to Pahoa, and 20 to Volcanos National Park . This is a quiet and secluded area: it is a jungle out there, so be prepared for wild fowl, coqui, gekkos, some insects and rain. Home is wide open for natural ventilation and trade winds. Hele on bus comes down the main artery, but schedule may not be very convenient. A car is necessary. Our house is just a ten minute walk to the dramatic Puna cliffs and two miles from the trailhead to the only non-black sand beach in Puna, Ha'ena/Shipman. It is a 10 mile unpaved drive (Gov't Beach Rd) to the old Kapoho area and our newest black-sand beach (created since 2018 eruption). This is a rural, residential area, quiet hours from sunset to sunrise everyday. Thanks for being a nice neighbor.
