Kehena Beach Ocean Front Cliff House

This home is obviously unique and has even been featured on HGTV's Off Beat American & The Travel Channel, but it is the land itself that we fell in love with. This all-concrete house is ocean front and perched on a lava cliff at Kehena Point. The Point sticks out into the ocean further than the surrounding lava cliffs and offers unparalleled views of the coast in both directions. Watch whales in season (November-April), and walk to a black sand beach.

NEW!Off-Grid Cabin w/ALL U Need 8min 2 Beaches&MOR

MatthewRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

An off grid location in a peaceful and natural island setting with beautiful kitchen and bathroom. Only 10 minutes from either beautiful sites on the south coast or shops and provisions in Pahoa. Our boys loved the separate bunk building with two beds. Our group of five used alot of water but we only ran out one time. We let the host know and a refill was promptly ordered and waiting for us upon our return from the days activities. If you need communications, an AT&T network phone worked for us..(Pre-paid phones can be found at Walmart) Our group used alot of power, but the solar/battery system kept up well concidering. A group with reasonable power needs should have no problems with power availability. If you rely on a CPAP or simular device, a backup battery may be advisable to avoid interuption. Note that the nearby black sand beach is very beautiful but is a "Clothing Optional" beach. This place is at at the top of my list if I return to the east side of the Big Island.

Kehena Beach House w/Heated Pool

MrigeshRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We had an unforgettable experience staying at this beautiful cliffside Airbnb near Kehena Black Sand Beach. The house is perched right on the edge of the cliffs, offering absolutely stunning, unobstructed ocean views. Falling asleep and waking up to the sound of waves crashing against the rocks was surreal. The rooms were clean, well-maintained, and stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We specifically chose this place for the views, and it exceeded all expectations. Amber was a fantastic hostess—super responsive, thoughtful, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our stay. If you’re looking for a peaceful escape with jaw-dropping scenery and the soothing sounds of the ocean, this is the place. Highly recommend it—we’ll definitely be back!

Off-Grid Lava Cabin Retreat

JuliaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Beautiful location at what feels like the end of the world. We slept well and enjoyed both the sounds of nature and the beautiful and unique surroundings. While there are plenty of neighbors in the community, everyone seems to keep to themselves. It was extremely quiet and enjoyable. The firepit in the pictures is not operable, which we found out after booking and really the only downfall for an otherwise great stay. A rental vehicle is required to get there and we were grateful to have rented an SUV. Highly recommended as the roads are rock/gravel with some small hills and quite the drive, but the closest town is about 15 minutes and will have anything else you need. Bring drinking water! The pictures do the cabin justice; it is open air but well maintained, comfortable, and worth the stay. Overall very good experience!
