    Beautiful little ohana in a quiet residential neighborhood. Great place to be alone with your partner. This is the funky side of the Big Island and we loved it for that reason.

Tropical Zen Bungalow is a cozy and private 'ohana' on the Big Island of Hawaii. Enjoy a sense of seclusion where you can relax in comfort during your tropical retreat. The ohana is a separate cottage with its own driveway. It includes a full bath with tub, kitchenette, queen bed, covered lanai and a loft for sleeping or storage. French doors and windows look out to coconut palms, ferns and a tropical garden. We are located in a quiet beach community along the scenic Red Road on the coast of Hawaii, a short distance to Kehena black sand beach. Enjoy gazing at the palm trees, ferns, banana trees, and large Norfolk pines from your lanai. The walls and roof are well insulated so you'll feel protected even during a passing rain. Listen to the chorus of coqui frogs lull you to sleep at night and tropical bird songs by day. My art studio is nearby. You may well find some of my original watercolors and landscape paintings adorning your walls.
I visited the Big Island of Hawaii for many years before I finally moved here from California. I'm a fine artist painter and art teacher. The tropical beauty and raw nature of Hawaii inspires me and I am passionate about sharing that inspiration with others. I also love living where it's summer all year round! Being on an island reminds one to be conscious of the environment and to live in harmony with nature and others. I spend my time making art and gardening in my tropical garden. My art studio in on the property and you'll find my artwork adorning the walls of my home and the ohana. I offer art lessons to visitors if they're interested in exploring painting from nature There is so much here to inspire! I look forward to making your stay relaxed and as comfortable as possible. I welcome my visitors with true Aloha spirit.
My home is located in Pahoa, Hawaii. My neighborhood is a quiet beach community along the beautiful Red Road on the Hawaii coast. Kehena Beach: (1.5 miles away) a stunning black sand beach (clothing optional). On the right day, you might have the opportunity to swim with the dolphins. You can drive or bike down the Red Road (Kalapana-Kapoho Rd) for about 5 miles to where the new lava flowed across the road to the ocean. Hike and explore the newest black sand beaches created by the 2018 eruption. Enjoy the magical tree tunnels and lookouts of the ocean along one of Hawaii's most beautiful coastal routes. Visit local markets for an abundant selection of tropical fruits and vegetables, as well as unique gift items. On Wednesday night enjoy live music & dancing at Uncle Robert's Night Market (4 miles) Pahoa town is a 20-minute drive. There are good restaurants, art galleries, and even a local museum. Daily yoga classes are just 2 blocks away. Ecstatic dance on weekends. Makuu Sunday market (25 mins) offers fresh produce, crafts, and food vendors. It's best to rent a car on the Big Island of Hawaii. The closest airport is in Hilo, a 50-minute drive.
