About this house rental
As of January 2021 the Solar System has been upgraded. This beautiful 3 Bedroom 1 Bath eco-friendly off-grid home was built on an old lava flow out of 3 cargo containers. But once you step in this home you will have no idea you were inside former cargo containers. It was built with quality and function in mind. There are 3 sliding glass doors for an incredible breeze and views of the ocean & old lava landscape. And out the back large windows a view of Kīlauea Volcano.
Property is comprised of 2 homes the other is a 1 Bedroom 1 Bath also available for rent that Sleeps 4 (See my other listing)
This beautiful shipping container Home was built on an old lava flow. It’s has clear ocean views, an expansive view of Kīlauea volcano out the back, it’s eco-friendly in so many ways, off-grid utilities (solar power and UV filtered water catchment), surrounded by amazing lava landscape, awe inspiring night sky filled with more stars than you have ever seen before.
The home possesses so many cool features. Typically if you have ever been in a “Tiny or Container Home” there is nothing spacious about them but through effective design I feel this was achieved as soon as you step inside you are greeted with an open feel 16’ by 16’ room. The first interesting pieces of furniture are the dining table & chairs that were recycled from an old Teak wood boat. Then there is the highly functional sofa that not only lifts up to provide storage but it also converts to a full size bed. You will also be drawn to the exquisite mango wood that was used for the countertops in the kitchen & bath. Once you see the pebble stone floored bathroom you will again be amazed at the size. Inside you find a one of a kind Petrified wood vessel sink sitting on a great piece of mango with a natural live edged mirror. As you will see in the photos you get to enjoy a rain shower in the large shower enclosure. Then pick any bedroom and you will find a platform bed that gives the sense it is floating that were custom made by a local Hawaiian. You will find this home was built in such a unique and quiet place you might not want to leave.
Please Note: The address that is showing on the website is for planning purposes. It is not exact but it is close due to the property being in a remote location. An exact map is sent to all guests prior to check in. Volcano National Park entrance is approximately 1 hour away, Pahoa is about 20 minutes and Kehena black sand beach is about 10 minutes away.
God has blessed me with this place so I can share it with others. Whether you are looking to be a tourist and see all the amazing sites or to just be at peace with yourself and nature this is the place for you.
There are NO Coqui Frogs to keep you awake at night here.
Surveillance Camera Disclosure: due to the remoteness of home and to protect the property we have installed 5 exterior surveillance cameras. Camera 1 Is mounted at the end of the deck with a view of the driveway. Camera 2 is mounted in the middle of the deck area with a view of smaller home’s entrance. Camera 3 is mounted at the other end of the deck with view of the larger home’s entrance. Camera 4 mounted at end of container home above the storage doors with a view of the water catchment tank. Camera 5 is mounted on the back of the property with a view of the propane tanks. They are not hidden and are obvious white cameras.

This house is out there. If you are curious about what living off grid would be like, this is a chance to experiment. The walk out to the cliff to see the ocean was amazing. We were able to explore Volcanoes NP from here and the surrounding towns. The night sky is amazing.

Staying on an old lava flow cannot be beat! The location is fabulous. Highly advise you to arrive while still light. The hike to the sea cliff was my favorite part of a 2 week island hopping adventure. The host communicated very well and was quick to respond and very helpful guiding us to good restaurants etc before we checked in.

Amazing property. Excellent instructions. Nice host. Clean property. Definitely off grid and fun. Does have Wi-Fi. Unique. I recommend staying here.

We stayed with our kids (6,8) for 4 nights. We deliberately chose this location as we visited this region in 2009 when the Kilauea lava was flowing. To stay on top of the old lava flow was a special feature to show the kids. The location is very remote, the next shops a 15min drive away. A few more houses have been set up around the property, meaning we never had an encounter with the ‘grumpy neighbour’. The path over the lava field is quite easy to follow and was an interesting activity for the kids. The house had everything we needed and was nicely decorated. We didnt have any issues with water or electricity supply, the second unit was vacant during our stay. We didnt mind the 2 hour drive to/from the west coast, at times meaning to arrive back in the house at midnight but that’s something to consider when planning activities around the island. We’d happily stay at this truly unique home on the lava again.
