About this house rental
Kalapana Beach Haven is a private, architect-designed oceanfront retreat offering expansive views and exceptional seclusion. Designed for comfort and understated luxury, it provides generous space for a peaceful escape or time with family and friends. 4 distinct sleeping areas, each with its own bathroom ensure privacy and flexibility. The home features a refined indoor–outdoor tropical design, set directly on the coastline.
The central staircase in this 3 level home bisects the house into two independently functioning wings affording privacy in the bedrooms.
The home has 4 sleeping spaces: a large main 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.

This house is simply stunning! Our stay was absolutely exceptional in every way. Tim proactively provided very useful information about the area and the house prior to our arrival. Kate greeted us at the house at check-in and provided a welcoming and thorough tour of the house and all of its features. Kate also provided local recommendations that enhanced our experience during our stay.My wife and I stayed at the house for this trip, but the house can easily accommodate 8-9 people very comfortably. The setting is breathtaking- especially the views from the top rooms and deck. The black lava “beach/cliffs” behind the house is breathtaking! We loved the sound of the birds, frogs and the thunderous waves at night. While earplugs are provided, we enjoyed our nights without using the earplugs.The kitchen has everything you need to prepare your meals (you provide the ingredients that are perishable, but the house is stocked with spices and condiments). This was unexpected and better than most of our rental experiences. The master bed was very comfortable- the master bath exceptional- the sunrise views unbelievable!My wife and I were especially impressed by the artworks throughout the house and the extensive library!If you are visiting on a Wednesday and/or Saturday- you must visit the local farmer’s market. We highly recommend Tim’s place- if it is available- book it immediately! We plan to return with our adult kids in the near future- it is a treasure to share!

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.
