Oceanfront Bali House next to Kehena Black Sand Beach

The hosts were very welcoming. The house was well equipped with everything we needed, and the location was outstanding...right across the street from the ocean and Kehena Black Sand Beach. We enjoyed the birds, the coquis, and the soothing sounds of the surf. And of course, the hot tub, which worked perfectly the entire week.

Where do I start? This home is so beautiful with surreal surroundings and everything you need! There were only 2 of us during our stay but this home could certainly work for families or multiple couples. The waves lulled us to sleep every night and the sound of the rain was a major bonus! The home is fully stocked to cook full meals and so cozy that you can easily spend days/nights there. It was very hard for us to leave to venture out!! The owners are so sweet and you can really feel the love for their home and their guests. We loved every second being there - the trees and greenery, the hot tub, the stone shower, having coffee on the lanai, meditating in the garden, the sounds of the frogs at night, and even the beautiful geckos! If you're looking for a traditional hotel- this probably won't be a great fit for you - but if you really want to indulge in the beauty and energy of Pahoa, this place is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!

Property is lovely but the current upkeep of the grounds and house us in need of some TLC. The furniture is not that comfortable however the beds are very comfy. The inside lighting does not offer enough light at night. The appliances were all very nice and easy to operate. The explanations of how the house operates was lacking, id: TV, lights, fans, hot tub, close up, etc. A book or a PDF with instructions would have been helpful.

The Bali house was a great place to stay. Very clean and quiet. If you haven’t stayed in this area before you need to know it’s remote, which we love. Bring your supplies before arriving as the nearest town is about 20-30 minutes away. We have stayed in the area multiple times and the Bali house offers great views of the ocean and quick access to the clothing optional beach. At night it’s nice to listen to the frogs and the ocean with very little artificial noise to interrupt. I would stay here again.

We loved our time at the Bali house! Tim and Iliahi we so kind and hospitable. They worked with our delayed plane flight and helped us get in after hours. The house was spotlessly clean and so nice. The house has such a cool feel very true to its location south of Pahoa. We were there rain shine and it is such a cool vibe. The kitchen was so nice to have and the multi tiered layout of the house is really fun! Only things to be prepared for is that there are geckos who occupy the walls and house. They would occasionally startle us but as Iliahi told us they were good luck and we got used to them! Also total bonus for us but the ocean and rain make a really cool background noise. Not good for people who need total silence to sleep but we loved it! If we ever get to come back would definitely be our place of choose on the Pahoa side of the island. Such a nice alternative to a hotel!

extraordinary wood and stone interior, open to cool breezes. Amazing view of the Pacific.

This place is so absolutely perfect for a getaway as a couple. A few steps from the beach is amazing. We didn't hardly want to leave because sitting on the porch watching the water felt like a worthy excursion in itself. The place is very private, with foliage and structures keeping other properties out of view. But you are quite close to other properties, and can hear them. It was not a problem or disruptive at all, but may be helpful detail for other guests.

We loved this little house. The extraordinary attention to detail - all the little touches. It did really feel like you were in Bali. The close proximity to the beach and water and w the sound of the waves - but mostly the sound of the tree frogs - just loved it. Great beds - slept so well. Amazing shower! Thank you for everything!

This property is true to the listing. Perfect location for watching waves and having the ocean and frogs lull you to sleep at night. The bedrooms in the main house share the main bath and not totally private to others in your party. But for a couple it is super awesome! Was nice to go explore the island during the day and come back to a quiet neighborhood on the beach to relax at night :)

Really cool place. A lot of attention to making it unique. Beds were super comfortable.

Great communication with the hosts, from booking to arrival and departure. Nice traditional house with tons of space, and almost across the street from a black sand beach. Great location for a base to explore Kilauea and other spots on the big island.

We love this part of the island and return often, and this is one of the nicest homes we've found. Stunning views, wonderful character and welcoming hosts. Perhaps not completely practical - keep in mind the bathroom in the main house is shared and one of the beds is not private, and the furniture is not the most comfortable, but we slept well, serenaded by frogs and waves, and we were able to cook a complete thanksgiving dinner! Hard to beat this retreat on the red road.

Great location and lovely spacious place. Would definitely recommend for larger groups for the layout or smaller ones just for the location.

Great location with ocean views and access to nearby beach. Perfect spot to unwind and get away from busy resorts. Lots of space for friends and family. The Bali House is cool!

Our stay on Hawaii Island was wonderful. The Balinese style was unique. The location of the house across from a beautiful black sand beach was perfect. We walked to the beach with our morning coffee enjoying the sunrise and then again after our return from being out and about. The climb down can be a bit difficult especially after the rain, so be careful. Point to note, you will encounter people who are nude as this is an optional clothing beach. The fans and the breezes kept the house comfortable. I can see why the owners requested you take off your shoes; black sand can get everywhere. The rain shower was great to wash everything off you from top to bottom. We prepared several meals at home instead of eating out. The kitchen layout allowed the two of us to be in there together. The whole area lost electrical power on the day we were leaving. The owners were very gracious in allowing us to stay past checkout to clean up when power returned, but we had to catch a flight so we couldn’t enjoy their hospitality.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the breathtaking Bali house (December 2023). Tim and Iliahi are amazing hosts. It's a bit far from everything, but this can also be a great thing. I truly recommend this place.

Very nice property in a terrific location. Empty lot between the house and the Ocean make this stay very enjoyable. Just down the street are beautiful ocean views. If you watch the surf there, very often you will see smaller Sea Turtles bobbing for air. It rains nearly every day. Very different from the Kona side. Lots of singing frogs that begin towards dusk. NO ROOSTERS! Hurray! Hilo is a 45 minute drive straight north. The Hosts here leave you alone and seem very friendly.

Quick responses. Better than expected. Loved the location.

This is a great, unique place to stay. I liked how the owners gave ideas on places to go and eat. The view was great but the photos of the grounds made it seem like it would be bigger than it actually was. The living space was great however! It is definitely rural with geckos and critters in and around the residence, but they kept to themselves. Over all it was a nice stay.

Fantastic Host that was very quick to make our stay the Best. Great Location on the Ocean for Whale & Dolphin watching and one of the best beaches on the Island steps away. What more could you want.

The Bali House across from Kehena Beach is beautiful. Truly a magical, relaxing, remote getaway. Exactly what we were looking for to celebrate our 40th anniversary. The house had everything one would need and then some. Beach chairs, ice chest, books, DVDs, and coffee filters. It's obvious the owners take great pride in making sure every detail has been thought of for a great experience. The communication was very informative, and the check-in/out process was very easy. Mahalo to Tim and Iliahi for sharing your home with us. P.S. Tim - thank you for leaving the freshly cut coconuts on our doorstep. They were a yummy surprise on our anniversary when we came back from the beach! Charlie & Gale
