Cozy studio. Comfortable bed. Nice ocean view. A/C to keep the temperature comfortable. Take the motor scooter tour which is a lot of fun. Would enjoy staying here again.

We really enjoyed our short stay here. It was clean, quiet, and comfortable. We mostly were here just to sleep but the view - wow! - an amazing way to start and end each day, with sounds of the waves crashing. We would definitely stay here again, thank you!!

We didn't spend much time in the unit but it was the perfect place to put your head down and get your Zs before heading out and about. The sound of the ocean at night was a plus. Very nice and helpful host!

Stayed for 2 nights and thought the place was darling. We explored during the day and were able to sit on the deck listening to the waves in the evening. It was nice to wake up and look at the ocean in the morning.

This place was mostly as advertised. It is small, but efficient, great place to sleep and have morning coffee. The dead end street location is great, it's a nice quiet neighborhood. Check-in process was easy and went well. The area list per for almost 24 hours while we were there, certainly not the hosts fault. However, the hosts never reached out to us in that period of time to see if we needed anything or if everything at the unit was ok, we were disappointed by that. Overall, a nice small place with great ocean sounds in a unique little community.

Beautiful beach front studio. Cozy murphy bed. Thank you for coffee and treats! Great sounds of waves crashing against the rocks. Quiet and peaceful!

This little oceanfront room is a wonderful place to rest, enjoy a cup of coffee, and watch/listen to the ocean. The bed and pillows were super comfortable and there's no way you can beat the natural sound of waves crashing as you float off to sleep. We thoroughly enjoyed this private, quiet getaway! Great for couples and those looking for a non-touristy spot. Right down the road from lava fields and great local food just 15 minutes away. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Joe’s place is cute and tiny. The ocean views & sounds are right there. From the comfort of your bed you can take it all in. A unique experience.

This is a tiny space, which means you get a tremendous experience at a great value. Besides, we visited Hawaii to enjoy the outdoors. The host Joe exceeds every expectation, if you want privacy: you get privacy if you're going to learn about the area, he delivers, and if you're going to sleep as close to the waves as you may be in this lifetime, STAY HERE.

We enjoyed our stay here. It’s a bit off the beaten track but that adds to the charm. Right on the ocean with beach access a few properties down. Clean and comfortable. It’s small but has an excellent bed. Joe was very responsive to our requests and provided more coffee when asked. Definitely recommend Joes place Jon

Being able to watch ocean waves crash onto volcano rock beaches from your bed is the highlight of this cozy spot. The space itself is small, but has everything you need for a great trip. The bathroom and kitchenette areas are updated, modern, and very clean. Joe and Cindy were friendly, kind hosts. Great spot for one or two adults. Absolutely would recommend!

Small private very clean room below house on beautiful oceanside property. The private deck is a beautiful peaceful spot to observe the ocean. High surf while we were there was mesmerizing. Community beach trail at the end of the street. Pahoa is about 5 miles away with lots of good restaurants and interesting shops. The owner was super quick to respond to our requests and very friendly.

This studio was the perfect place for a 3 day getaway. The studio is small, but we didn’t plan on spending much time there anyway. When we were there in the evenings, we enjoyed sitting on the lanai and listening to the waves crash against the lava rocks. The place was clean and in a nice neighborhood. The Murphy bed was comfortable, and listening to the sound of the waves while falling to sleep was great.

Lots of sweet touches packed into this place. Easy check in and check ou! Loved the sound of the ocean lulling us to sleep. Comfy bed, and an amazing view! Jet lagged had me up to see the first crack of light on the ocean. The sunrise was spectacular and I got to see a sea turtle playing by the rocks! My husband spotted a dolphin but I didn’t make it in time to verify. 😂. Great communication by owner!

We selected this location based on the price, location to Volcano National Park and mostly ocean front. We were not disappointed! The place is tiny but it was just the 2 of us and we spent most of our time sitting on the deck. The waves are incredible and crashed on the rocks just outside all night long. This is not a swimmable location but that was not what we were looking for. It was perfect for drinking wine at night and coffee in the morning in between our exploring of Big Island. We also discovered the greatest breakfast cafe in Pahoa that you should check out. Pele’s Kitchen. This is a place I would certainly stay at again or recommend to a single or a couple.

Driving there can be tough if you’re coming from Hilo between 4-6pm on a weekday. Also headed to Hilo in the morning is rough. Plan accordingly. The room is epic. If you catch a strong wind or storm during your stay, it’s almost intimidating. The waves are right there. We don’t think we could have picked a better location for what we were looking for. Falling asleep to waves crashing. Private parking. Easy access. Great shower. Pull down bed which is incredibly comfortable. Would highly recommend it for any couples
