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.

truly unique location
We had a WONDERFUL stay here (family of 4, kids ages 15y and 11y). It was really really cool to be on the lava field, the house is simple yet well furnished, the beds were very comfortable, everything was very clean and well maintained. The walk to the ocean was fascinating through the new lava. It was very fun staying here and we would highly recommend it!

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!

Really fun place to stay! accommodation was as expected. Amazing night sky and very interesting lava formations. Small suggestion - it would ben helpful to have information about if the tap water is drinkable or not. We didn't bring bottled water and probably should have.

Amazing experience on the lava
We loved our stay on the lava. We walked down to the cliffs to see the ocean also. Never ran into the grumpy neighbor so no issues there. An added perk was that because of the location, it was perfect for me to practice my astrophotography!

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.

Unique experience living on the lava field!
I highly recommend this home on the lava! It is well-equipped, comfortable and has a wonderful view of the lava field and ocean. It is such a unique experience living off the grid on the lava, it is so relaxing. The area is remote, safe and peaceful. We cannot wait to book another trip and return to this property. The property manager was excellent and responsive.

Nice stay on the lava field
All in all, a lovely stay in a peaceful setting. Bit strange description of the "grumpy neighbor"; we did not see him so no comments from our side. The house was clean and fully equipped. In the dark this house is difficult to find though. Hike to the lava cliffs is very nice though!

This is true an awesome experience staying on the lava field. So serene and peaceful, very spiritual for some. Amazing views of the ocean once you walk across the lava field. Wish we had booked it longer to explore more. Container home is very well equipped for what you need. The “grumpy” neighbor actually had a very pleasant but brief conversation with my husband and son. Would recommend staying here for the experience!

Unique, Lavaliscious Experience!
As the other reviewers have said, staying at the lava house is truly other-wordly. Strolling the lava fields, taking in the unique lava flow formations, and admiring the ocean brought a sense of wonder and awe. The house is also well appointed and as advertised. Pretty sweet to be off grid, too. There are some loud noises from the water pump that are a bit louder for those in the master bedroom.

Off Grid Lava
Me and the kids had an awesome 5 day pre- holiday reunion. We drove all over the island. Went out for karaoke, rode a submarine, swam at black and green sand beaches, snorkeled with a sea turtle, ate poke and went to farmers market and some of us got tattooed. We had sunshine, thunderstorms, a windstorm, but mostly calm and never below 65 ° F at night in the middle of December.

Great memories
This place is great. You're far away from the nearest town yet can get there quickly. Night times are magical for star gazing. You have wifi, so you can make calls and text messages, and navigation works fine out there. We were a family of 8 that stayed for 9 nights and all felt comfortable in the space. It's off the grid but we didnt have any issues with water, power, or gas for cooking( and we washed clothes and cooked every day). It's a great home and our little ones love telling their frends the story of living on the lava flow.
