Keaau House | Tropical "Jungalow" Near the Sea

2 Bedroom House in Keaau

Enjoy indoor-outdoor living in our bright, open home... Relax on the 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. Open windows allow for trade-wind ventilation throughout the home. Rainwater-harvest for showers/sinks (triple filtered), spring water for drinking in kitchen.
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).
The jungalow is located 16 miles from Hilo airport, four miles makai (toward sea) of 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 but it is a jungle out there, so be prepared for wild fowl, coqui, gekkos, some insects and rain. The Jungalow is wide open for natural ventilation and trade winds (no air conditioner). Quiet hours are from dusk to dawn. Owners and 2 cats live on property in a separate unit at the back of the property. Two cars maximum. Ring security camera facing driveway.. 🤙

Summary: What a beautiful place to stay and relax. Gorgeous garden and the house is beautiful. Host is absolutely wonderful and helpful. He was so kind and messaged back right away. Checked if we needed more water. He lives nearby so he even came to bring us supplies when we needed. Love.the fact that we had everything we needed and even a washer a d dryer! Missing my sweet dog but the cute cats kept me company while i sat in the hammock chairs. We are so totally grateful for such a wonderful host and a lovely home to.stay in while we visited family and see the island. Thank ypu so much for everything.

Summary: We really enjoyed our stay at this unique property! The location is tucked into a subdivision with private lots. It is about 4 miles from a main Road, so far from noise and light pollution. The ocean is close enough to hear the waves crashing on the rocks in the distance. There are two houses on the property with a car port in between where we could park. Our favourite part of the house was the screened in porch where we could sit in the evening and listen to the frogs. It was very relaxing with gardens on the property and no other properties in site ( although they weren't far away... Just not visible through the trees and plants). The frogs chirped all night, which we enjoyed... My daughter asked to have her windows closed since she found them a bit loud, but she said she still liked hearing them... Just a bit more muted). There are some roosters in the community that wonder around, so we were awaken early (after 6) each morning, but I thought it just added to the rustic feel. We also enjoyed seeing the stars at night because it was quite dark.The location was about a half hour to Hilo, which was a bit further than I had expected, but manageable.Steve warned us that hot water could take a few minutes to arrive for showers, but I didn't find it a problem.. I am glad he warned us though or I may have thought there was a problem.My daughter really enjoyed the cats on the property. They spent a lot of time on the deck and were friendly.Overall, great stay!

Summary: This was the perfect house for some peace and calm. The home had everything we needed including a few sweet cats to pet outside when we missed our fur babies. We walked to the ocean every morning to take in the amazing views and sound of the crashing waves. There is no question we will be coming back!

Summary: My friend and I really enjoyed our two week stay. It was a private location that was very quiet. We enjoyed watching the birds and other animals from the screened in front deck. Steve the host was easy to contact and lives next door. He will fill your 3 five gallon water bottles when requested. We enjoyed using the propane grill as this was a big money saver and convenient. We have no complaints.

Summary: Highly recommend! Steve was very helpful and even brought us flashlights when the power went out. Peaceful, lush and private. There were only two beds and one futon, though. Not two futons but we made do just fine. Great place!

Summary: Roomy place, nice amenities. We really loved Big Islandopoly! Beautiful plants everywhere. Loved that we could walk to the beach. Excellent communication from/with Steve.

Summary: We enjoyed our stay at the Jungalow. It was very quiet compared to several other places we stayed at closer to Hilo (no dogs barking, no car noise, a lot less coquis, and only 1 rooster.) The lanai was a beautiful place to read a book and sip coffee. The futon area off the second bedroom was larger than it seemed in the pictures, and was a perfect place for kids, teens, or those who wanted to watch TV. The house has lots of light too. Our host was very responsive, when needed. We loved the cats, but had to be sure to keep the doors closed or they enjoyed visiting inside. The property was well-maintained. Our only issue was there is minimal pots, pans, and cooking utensils, so come prepared. (one pot meals worked the best for us.) We would definitely stay here again.

Summary: Steve's VRBO house was located in a quiet neighborhood just a 10 minute walk to the ocean where we watched the sunrise while waves crashed onto black rocks. His house had many cozy spots to relax but we especially enjoyed the porch hammock swings and eating breakfast at the sunny porch table. We also liked the open layout of the kitchen, dining room and living room areas for our family food preparation. The house was well located for our daily adventures including hikes at Volcanoes National Park and along the coast to the north of Hilo. We also liked that we were only a half hour drive from the airport and our favorite park near Hilo: Carlsmith Beach Park where we swam and saw a green sea turtle. Our host Steve communicated well with us and supplied everything we needed to make us feel at home.

Summary: Great house for 2 couples with plenty of room. The garden was lovely with lots of birds. You can hear the ocean surf.
Ember D. Feb 21, 2024 07:16:12 AM
Summary: Overall this is a great place to stay if you are planning your trip to include hiking and exploring. My family would go out and adventure and then come back to rest and play games. The place was cozy and we loved the extra wildlife noises. The beds were super comfy and our communication with the owner could not have been better. The only problems we came to were some updates in the kitchen, some odd consistency in the decor, and the water heat. However, we made due during our short stay and our visits by Goldie the cat made up for everything.
