Aloha!
The 'Nice, Big House is a private 3 bedroom /1.5 bath fully furnished town house w/ 4 beds (3 beds downstairs and 1 on the 3rd floor) which is part of a larger building with two private studios attached. This 'unique' design allows us to rent it for less and helps ensure our guests privacy. We have been renting this home for 10 years now and most customers really enjoy their stay. You may be surprised at some very famous people who have stayed here including performers from Cirque Du Soleil.

When you rent this home - all linen, kitchen utensils, bath tissue, 3 TV’s w/ Netflix, Roku, landline phone, and Wi-Fi are provided at no extra cost. It has a wonderful distant ocean view and it's less than 10 minutes from the Kalapana Lava fields, 20 minutes to Pohoiki and 3 minutes to Kehena Beach. Due to the recent eruption, Puna now has several black sand beaches ( Kehena, Pohoiki, Mackenzie Beach and sea caves, Kaimu and Kapoho beaches. Some hiking required to Mackenzie and Kapoho Beaches. All beaches in Puna are black sand w/ rock. Kehena and Pohoiki are the best beaches and are nearby.


Nice, Big House has been the home to visitors around the world for about 10 years now and many return to this wonderful and well kept home.

It's a wonderful place to stay if you want to be centered in the Puna District of Hawaii (Kalapana), which is one of the most beautiful places on earth.

This is a sunny spot of the island where there is less rain! Although it rains much less down here, our area remains green and beautiful.
Many people come to Puna to visit Volcano National Park - home of Kilauea and the periodic lava flows and beaches.
There are also Hawaiian jungles, tropical rain forests, beautiful coastal views, thermal ponds at Pohoiki, surfing/ snorkeling, whale watching due to migration to warm Hawaiian waters during winter months.
You can often see them from land swimming off our beautiful coast and at the Kehena Beach view point.
Many of my tenants tell me that they were able to swim w/ dolphins and you can too.


For those of you who are seeking night time entertainment, check out 'Uncles Outdoor Hawaii Bar' if you want to sip a beer, listen to live Hawaiian music, eat great food and enjoy a farmers market at the same time.

Kilauea Volcano is just a 45-60 minute drive.
In addition, the KaMauna Caves are on the way where you can walk through huge lava tubes.

The unit is situated in a safe, quiet & friendly Hawaiian neighborhood off Kalapana-Kapoho Rd.
