Hale Aikalani

The open waters of the Pacific Ocean are right in your backyard at this modern and comfortable home just outside Pahoa, where you can take in spectacular views of the sunrise, the crashing waves, and the rugged volcanic shoreline from your spacious back deck. This oceanfront home sits on the eastern shores of the Big Island, in a secluded spot not far from the conveniences of Pahoa town. You'll be welcomed by a soft, grassy front lawn, fuss-free tile floors inside, and such at-home conveniences as free WiFi and a washer/dryer to refresh your swimsuits and towels after a day of swimming, kayaking, or stand-up paddleboarding. The living space is anchored by a contemporary kitchen with stainless steel appliances (including a French-door refrigerator), intricately tiled backsplash, and a breakfast bar for four. But you'll likely spend most of your time outside on the wrap-around lanai, where you can dine at one of the two outdoor tables with a view of the ocean and look for whale spouts on the horizon.

This oceanfront Pahoa home has a private entrance, garage, and outdoor seating area facing the sea. The setting is made for taking in the rugged shoreline and open-water views.

The neighborhood: Pahoa is on the Big Island's east side, where lava landscapes, rain, and the Pacific create a very different experience from the dry Kona coast. The town is useful for supplies and a local meal, while the Puna coastline rewards travelers who enjoy a drive and changing scenery. Isaac Hale Beach Park and the black-sand shoreline around the district are natural places to explore, and Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park is a major day trip. This is a quieter, car-oriented area for guests who want the island's wilder coastal character.

Getting around: Hilo International Airport is about 30 minutes away, making for a relaxed drive through the Puna countryside. A rental car is essential here, as Pahoa's beaches, shops, and dining are spread across the district. The small town center offers a few walkable blocks of local shops and eateries. Parking is easy and typically available on site or along the street near most homes.
