About this property
your own cottage, hear the ocean!
Come make Ka Hale Malie (the peaceful house) your own tropical cottage! Located 500 Ft from the ocean cliffs as the crow flies but not on the ocean. It is located in Hawaiian Paradise Park in Keaau, HI which is centrally located to visit Volcano, Pahoa, and the new black sand beaches of lower Puna (Pohoiki).
The little cottage has one bedroom with a queen bed that has sliding doors to the back lanai (porch) for you to enjoy your coffee or your candlelight dinner. A bathroom with a (purified) rainwater shower. A fully outfitted kitchen with gas stove, full refrigerator, microwave, countertop convection oven/toaster, coffeemaker, blender, new PFAS-free "green" pots and pans and a variety of items for cooking. The attached living room has a vintage rattan couch and chair, a TV, Roku streaming device, a DVD player, a library of over 50 DVDs (island themed!), and WIFI.
The house also has a front lanai (porch) with a table and chairs and a back lanai with an outdoor rattan couch, a table and chairs for dining, 2 bar stools and some "party lights" for nighttime ambiance. The best hang out spot may be the covered carport which has been transformed into an outdoor rec room/tiki bar complete with tables and chairs, a BBQ with charcoal and a charcoal starter (uses newspaper, not lighter fluid, and gets coals going fast), and coolers you may use during your stay.
The cottage is the only property on the 1/4 acre lot to give you privacy. Most days, and especially eves you can hear the crash of the waves on the cliffs, less than 500' away. Within a 5-10 minute walk is the beautiful coastline area where you can take a few chairs (I provide the portable ones in the bag-located under the tiki bar), a few beverages and watch the sky and the ocean. During the humpback whale season you can see and hear whales. Rainbows over the ocean are a common event!
Mahalo (thank you) for considering Ka Hale Malie and should you decide to come the cottage will welcome you!
There are also a few masks, snorkels and fins; beach towels, paddle ball, frisbee, etc. for your use during your stay. If you want an island tour of any size/duration, I can recommend a great tour guide!

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Kelly Finn

I love the Big Island and especially all its magical places and wonderful culture and people. There is nothing like going for a snorkel in the turquoise waters of the tide pools, followed by wine tasting in the cool air of Volcano, followed by watching molten lava bubbling and glowing in the Halema`uma`u Crater in Hawaii Volcanoes National park! Not that I do that every day!
Why they chose this property
Location, location, location, and it is adorable. Centrally located between Hilo, Volcano and lower Puna. The neighborhood is perfect for an early morning walk to the ocean cliffs to watch the sunrise or a sunset walk to enjoy the end of the day sky!
Please keep in mind, Hawaii is a tropical island and we have humidity, geckos, cockroaches and typically they don't come into the house but it is a possibility. Keep this in mind, mahalo!

What makes this property unique
Located between Hilo and Pahoa with easy access to the best of the East side of the Big Island. Plus the cottage is small yet complete. The ocean waves can often be heard from the house and the neighborhood is wonderful for a walk to the ocean cliffs!
