About this property

HomeOnTheLava~ Ocean & Volcano Views ~Sleeps 8 ~ Momma’s Oasis

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.
There are Absolutely NO cameras inside.

Unlike anything else.
What a unique spot! When are you ever going to hang out in a lava field? We came to the big island in part to see the volcanoes and this was a huge part of the experience! Just as interesting as anything you will see at VNP. Walk down to the cliffs for the true experience. The house is fairly basic but it is clean and had everything we needed and enough space for two teens and parents. We managed to find it even in the dark. Amazing sunrises and rainbows. Would recommend since the location is so unusual.

Pleasant Stay
The experience of staying on an old lava flow was very interesting. You will get a better feeling for the area if you spend some time reading about the lava flows in the Big Island. Be very careful if you decide to walk on the old lava flow, and do not get close to the edge of the cliffs. The home was simple, functional and pleasant. But, I think the pictures on the site have to be updated as there is more wear-and-tear than shown in the pictures.

Unique and out of this world stay
This “house on the lava” is truly a fabulous experience! You and the stars and the lava rock can enjoy companionship! Our adult kids loved it. Photos on web site are true . outdoor photos cannot describe the lava setting. Super unique ! Bring your own drinking water. Everything else provided. We really enjoyed it!

An amazingly unique experience with some caveats
There is so much to love about this space. It is well laid out. The shower and bathroom are beautifully done with a great rain shower. The space is very unique and the surrounding lava flow is absolutely breathtaking to be on. Communication about how to get out to the ocean across the lava is well communicated and poles and planted palm trees delineate a clear path to take. The satellite internet works flawlessly and fast. The television seems to have infinite options with every streaming service available. However, now for some caveats: 1. This space can sleep up to 8 people, but that is very much where the support for 8 people ends. There are only 3 chairs for the table and maybe room for 3 people to sit on the tiny little couch. 2. The hot water heater is located near the main bedroom. While you should limit your hot water usage at night, there is another unit next door and all utilities are shared between the 2 units. If your neighbors are up at 4AM taking their showers, you will not be sleeping with the hot water heater boiling away feet from your pillow. If your neighbors decide to suck up all the power or water and it runs out, even though you were very sparing, tough luck. 3. The pictures may have been accurate long ago, but the surfaces inside have not held up well in the ocean air. 4. While the listing clearly shows a dryer, upon reading the guest rule book, guests are not allowed to use the dryer except for long stays. 5. This space is a long way from civilization.
