About this property

Private Oceanfront Luxury Home On The Pristine Puna Coast

Kalapana Beach Haven is a stunning 3 level custom-built tropical modern home that overlooks the ocean at the end of a cul-de-sac. With no direct neighbors, this retreat offers privacy with only the sounds of nature and the ocean. The house is surrounded on three sides by jungle with a path leading to the ocean a hundred yards away. It is a serene oasis, perfect for a peaceful retreat, a romantic sojourn, or for shared fun with a group of friends or family.

The central staircase in this 3 level home bisects the house into two independently functioning wings affording privacy in the bedrooms.

The home has 3 bedrooms: a large master California king suite with a TV lounge area, a queen suite with a full bath, a double library suite with a shower. There is also a screened lanai at the garden level with a queen & single room (which can also serve as a yoga/exercise/massage studio) with a half bath and outdoor shower. The linens are all high quality with plush towels and high thread count sheets. The well-equipped gourmet kitchen has lots of counter space.

There are several outdoor spaces: an upper deck with commanding ocean views, a large main deck nestled at tree level with a gas grill, an umbrella and a table seating 6, a covered garden lanai great for meditation and reading, and a hot tub with a deck.

The house is spacious, but not overwhelming. It was built with the idea that everyone should be able to feel at home here. Rich tropical timbers, beautiful natural sandstone, high ceilings, beautiful views from every window and a dramatic open stairway give the feeling of space and calm.

Kalapana Beach Haven feels grand, rich and earthy. The oversized front doors open onto a foyer and a dramatic wide, open stairway that runs up through the center of the home. The stairs were designed with wide treads and a low rise making the house easily accessible. The central staircase was constructed in Bali and shipped back to Hawaii in large sections. custom doors, windows and furniture made from tropical hardwoods (Merbau, Teak and Tigerwood) all imported from Bali. The Bathrooms and decks are covered in gorgeous Palimanan sandstone tiles. High ceilings throughout the home give it an expansive feeling, and showcase the magnificent views.

There is a higher cleaning fee for parties larger than 4 people.

As of January 1, 2022 Hawaii County has added an additional Transient Accommodation Tax of 3%. All guest who have confirmed bookings made for 2022 prior to this new tax announced on December 14, 2022 will be contacted, and an additional charge will be requested to cover that cost.

Amazing property
We (my adult sons ages 30 and 27 and I) rented this home as a base for our several day visits to Volcanoes National Park. The location was quite good taking us less than a hour drive each way. This is a fabulous home both inside and out. We loved the interior decor and Zen feel of the structure, furnishings and art. The bedrooms were like being in tree houses at night with the sounds of rain and waves crashing on the lava beach. The master bedroom has a very comfortable bed, pillows and linens. Our favorite things were the top floor outdoor balcony and the short walk to the lava and black sand beaches. So relaxing and incredibly beautiful. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks to our host for the fruit basket, brief history of the location (very interesting) and great tips on our arrival!

Luxury Retreat
Fantastic location and house tucked in at the end of road surrounded by a dense forest. The host was excellent and very helpful, in fact when the washing machine was broken she did the laundry at her house! The description of the house is spot on but much more fantastic when experienced in person. The kitchen was a joy to prepare meals. The evenings where magical with the stars, the sounds of the fauna and the sound of the ocean.

When you think of paradise
Our stay in Kalapana was everything we imagined it would be and more. The property was absolutely breathtaking and was nothing short of a dream in paradise. Every angle of this home was incredible. From the front door to the spectacular view out every window, we were in awe. My children ages 3-12 loved the property and the geckos. They spent hours in the hot tub as well. My in laws that are in their 70s loved the lanai and having breakfast and dinner outside listening to the ocean. My personal favorite, the shower! I loved having a view of the jungle and the ocean every morning in the shower. It was stunning! The house is very much in the jungle. Be prepared for bugs, geckos and frogs (all night). We personally loved the nighttime lullaby of the frogs, but the hosts provided ear plugs if it is a bother. The bug situation was a little unnerving at night to my 12 year old daughter, but if you just close your eyes and pretend they aren’t there, you will be fine. I expected them, so it wasn’t a concern. The home had absolutely everything that we needed for our stay and Kate was an incredible host. She greeted us at the property when we arrived and had fresh fruit for us. What a pleasant surprise. She provided recommendations for the area and made our stay a vacation we won’t soon forget. We will definitely return if we ever come to the island again.

About the host

Hosted by Tim Ambrose

Host profile image
When designing the house with my architect, it was important to me to create spaces where everybody could feel at home. While the house is large, none of the spaces is overwhelming. Each room offers an opportunity to sit and chat, or read and reflect.

Why they chose this property

I was living in Kaimu when the owner of this property contacted me. It had been buried for 20 years by jungle and when I opened the street I saw the colonnade of tall palms along the street and at the front of the property. I knew I could build a large home without it feeling out of proportion because of the 30 foot palm trees. Stepping into the jungle below, there are ruins and it feels as though there are Menehune, or Hawaiian pixies in the trees. It's magical.

What makes this property unique

Before building, I was told that this land use to belong to a Kahuna, or Hawaiian healer. The site used to be the site of the "free house." It was called the "free house" because it was a space free from spirits where people could sleep. The louvers in the house create a nearly constant breeze. The design feels like a big set of lungs surrounding a central core and as I walk up the stairs I feel inspired - I breathe.
