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.

The house was in excellent condition and prepared well for our arrival. Communication from the host was excellent both prior to our arrrival and during our arrival. The views from all rooms of the house are beautiful and the access from the path to the water made for a great stay.Thank you

This home is perfection. The location is quiet, private, and a bit remote, which is exactly what we wanted. The home itself is extremely well appointed and immaculately clean. Cooking was easy in the very well equipped kitchen. Listening to the waves at night was very relaxing and perhaps our favorite part was the very short walk to the lava cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

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.
