About this property

Cargo Container HomeOnTheLava~ Ocean & Volcano View Sleeps 4 ~ Julie’s Sunrise

As of January 2021 the Solar System has been upgraded. Beautiful 1 Bedroom 1 Bath eco-friendly off-grid home 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 containers. It was built with quality and function in mind. There are 3 large sliding glass doors for an incredible breeze and views of the ocean & old lava landscape. We have large windows to view the Kīlauea Volcano.
The whole building is 2 homes. The other is a 3 Bedroom 1 Bath also available for rent. Providing for 12 adult guests total

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. The first wonderful piece of furniture is the highly functional sofa & ottoman 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 mango wood bordered mirror. As you will see in the photos you get to enjoy a rain shower in the large shower enclosure. Then climb on the comfy mattresses on the bunk bed that was 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.

Unfortunately we only stayed one night of our four night booking. The location was inconvenient (my fault for booking here) but there were other issues. There’s lots of messages from the host about a “grumpy neighbour” so do NOT park here, don’t walk by his house etc which made the vibe very sketchy especially being in the middle of nowhere. I love living off grid but the setup is a bit poor, once you checkin there’s notes saying don’t use the microwave at night as it can drain the battery (there’s nowhere close by to eat and there’s no other way to cook/heat food), don’t shower late as the pump might annoy the neighbour etc. it was cool seeing the lava flow and I feel for the people in the area that had to rebuild but I would recommend only staying a night, or just drive out here for a couple hours.

This cargo unit on the lava was an amazingly unique place to stay! We were worried about not being able to find the property because of the remoteness, but the owners directions were spot on and we found it without any problems. The bedroom was a little stuffy due to the lack of circulation, but other than that, the unit was very well built and very comfortable and clean. We loved walking on the lava out to the cliff. The owner left great directions and markings on the rocks so we stayed on the allowed path. Very cool experience!
