About this property
Oceanfront studio see whales and dolphins
Summary: Welcome to this private air conditioned Oceanfront Studio located between Hilo, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, and black sand beaches! Just 35 minutes from Hilo international Airport, Rainbow Falls, and more! This is an affordable way for singles or couples to enjoy an oceanfront experience where they can watch whales, dolphins, sea turtles, and benefit from the ever present cooling trade winds and wave sounds. When traveling to Hawaii, staying on the ocean greatly enhances the experience!
The Space: Enter through the hand carved teak door and enjoy your own tiny yet private oceanfront studio located on the lower level of this grand oceanfront home. If you plan on seeing many of the best sites the Big Island has to offer, we feel this is right in the middle of it all without being in the hustle of a commercialized area. Explore black sand beaches, Volcano National Park, multiple water falls, and the recent lava flows!
Mable floors and other fine touches throughout this tiny studio lead to the ocean views!
A small 40 sq foot Lanai with 2 chairs is perfect for taking in the ocean breeze while spotting dolphins or seasonal whales. The large overhang above the deck makes sure that even on the wet days you can enjoy the outdoor lanai. Note this overhang does not block the ocean, but it does block much of the skyline.
There is a queen size high-end bed that is sure to give you a great nights sleep after a fun day of Hawaiian adventure.
A fully stocked bathroom with extra beach towels and fine soaps is our standard!
A fridge and freezer, dishes, coffee maker, microwave, and utensils are included.
We think you will find this little luxury studio is a comfortable and affordable way to have a great oceanfront experience.
We love giving guests a higher level of service. Ask us anything at any time. Have a question about the area? Want to learn more about the home? We are here for you. Just send us an inquiry and you will get a response right away 24/7.
We have a 5 star rating! Come let us earn your 5 star review too! I am dedicated to making sure your experience in this little studio is the best possible! I want this to be a spot you will look back at fondly and want to revisit!
Guest Access: Guests have access to the studio on the lower level of the home. The rocky beach is best accessed by a vacant lot next to us. Note this is not a sandy beach, but large lava rock and you will need good shoes if attempting to traverse it.
The Neighborhood: The beach behind the home (and most of the east side of Hawaii) is rocky. You can still walk along the coast but good shoes are recommended. The waves come in too strong for swimming. There is an olympic size community pool and kids splash parkl in Pahoa Town that is free for our guests to use. There are some sandy beaches to the north in Hilo and to the south in Kehena and Pohoiki (the worlds newest beach). There is so much to do and see in this area its hard to list it all. We can create custom recommendations for our guests based on what type of activities they wish.
Getting Around: Big Island is BIG and having a car is ideal! That being said, there is a bus line within walking distance. We are always happy to suggest activities and places to eat!
Other Things to Note: This house is configured as follows: The upstairs and lower floor are completely separated and each have private entrances. The upstairs is also used as a family friendly short term rental. You may hear "apartment" style noise above but never loud parties or music. In the unlikely event noise beyond normal day to day activities occurs, please let us know so we can correct this.
The studio is small at about 170 sq ft and the deck is another 40 sq ft. This place is best suited for 1 or 2 people.
Interaction with Guests: From the moment you arrive, your privacy is completely respected. That being said, we are available 24/7 to support if requested. To give you the highest level of service, a booking form will be sent via messages following reservation. You are welcome to ask us for a list of must see attractions and our favorite restaurants. The upper floor is also an Airbnb. We have quite hours from 8pm to 8 am.

Enjoyed the room for 2 nights, great location on the shoreline. The neighborhood was clean and safe, local restaurants within 15 minutes drive. Wonderful walking area with peaceful ocean waves. We found a bee keeper nearby and an organic farm for excursions. Thanks for the hospitality!
It’s exactly as advertised. It’s not a huge space…but it has everything you need and you can “almost” feel the spray when waves crash. Very comfortable bed!!
The room was clean, everything was there to make our stay comfortable - nice bed, shower was spacious, the patio with the ocean was perfect. We were out all day and it was a nice place to come back to. The neighborhood is quiet, and we really enjoyed the location.
We had a wonderful stay. We loved watching and hearing the waves. We enjoyed our breakfast out on the balcony each morning, watching for sea turtles. Would recommend this location.
We had an amazing stay at your cute little apartment, the accommodations were perfect. It was clean. It was an amazing way to sleep and listen to the waves all night. We went into town and seen some crazy hippies trying to play music that was funny as hell next time we’re here we’re definitely saying hello.
We really enjoyed our short stay here. It was clean, quiet, and comfortable. We mostly were here just to sleep but the view - wow! - an amazing way to start and end each day, with sounds of the waves crashing. We would definitely stay here again, thank you!!
Cozy studio. Comfortable bed. Nice ocean view. A/C to keep the temperature comfortable. Take the motor scooter tour which is a lot of fun. Would enjoy staying here again.
We enjoyed our stay here. It’s a bit off the beaten track but that adds to the charm. Right on the ocean with beach access a few properties down. Clean and comfortable. It’s small but has an excellent bed. Joe was very responsive to our requests and provided more coffee when asked. Definitely recommend Joes place

This place was mostly as advertised. It is small, but efficient, great place to sleep and have morning coffee. The dead end street location is great, it's a nice quiet neighborhood. Check-in process was easy and went well. The area list per for almost 24 hours while we were there, certainly not the hosts fault. However, the hosts never reached out to us in that period of time to see if we needed anything or if everything at the unit was ok, we were disappointed by that. Overall, a nice small place with great ocean sounds in a unique little community.
We selected this location based on the price, location to Volcano National Park and mostly ocean front. We were not disappointed! The place is tiny but it was just the 2 of us and we spent most of our time sitting on the deck. The waves are incredible and crashed on the rocks just outside all night long. This is not a swimmable location but that was not what we were looking for. It was perfect for drinking wine at night and coffee in the morning in between our exploring of Big Island. We also discovered the greatest breakfast cafe in Pahoa that you should check out. Pele’s Kitchen. This is a place I would certainly stay at again or recommend to a single or a couple.
Driving there can be tough if you’re coming from Hilo between 4-6pm on a weekday. Also headed to Hilo in the morning is rough. Plan accordingly. The room is epic. If you catch a strong wind or storm during your stay, it’s almost intimidating. The waves are right there. We don’t think we could have picked a better location for what we were looking for. Falling asleep to waves crashing. Private parking. Easy access. Great shower. Pull down bed which is incredibly comfortable. Would highly recommend it for any couples
Even with Vrbo technical difficulties, the hosts were super easy to work with and resolve the issues. The place was clean, in good repair, had excellent views, and was perfect for a few days of relaxing. As soon as you open the back door the sound of the waves crashing and jungle critters puts you at ease. Absolutely loved it!
