Designed by a noted San Francisco architect and once featured in The Huffington Post's '11 Small Eco Homes that Live Large,' this custom, modernist home is perfectly located a short stroll from (clothing optional) Kehena Black Sand Beach. Offering gorgeous views of Kehena Bay and the forests of Oliana Point, this home offers a wealth of little luxuries, including tropical hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances, a custom mango wood dining table, and an outdoor shower.

What's nearby:
When you're not lounging on the black sand of Kehena Beach, you'll be less than an hour's drive from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, 15 minutes from the geothermal oceanside lagoon at Ahalanui Park, and 10 miles southwest of fantastic snorkeling at the Kapoho Tide Pools. You'll also be seven miles northeast of Kalapana and a few minutes' drive from lava hiking trails and local restaurants. The town of Hilo, where you'll find a variety of shopping, dining, and entertainment options, is only 33 miles north.

Things to know:
Free WiFi
Full kitchen

Mixed Review
The deck was wonderful. The living room and kitchen were great with the caveat that the kitchen was sunken which resulted in a couple minor stumbles. The bathroom and bedroom were spartan - no closets, just some open shelves and a free-standing clothes rack. There is no AC so it got a little stuffy in the afternoon, but not bad. The location was somewhat problematic. The nearby beach was precarious to get to. Most of the interesting locations are near Hilo which was almost an hour away. But we enjoyed our stay nevertheless.
