The house has 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, Kitchen, and Utility/Laundry room (Sleeps 6-8). The Cave House is on a three acre lot and overlooks a lua* with four cave entrances. The cave entrances are visible from the front porch and the ocean can be seen through the trees. A lua or puka is like a sinkhole, it is the result of the collapse of the ceiling above a lava cave. This usually happens when the lava cools as it stops flowing. This lua collapse occurred many hundreds of years ago.
This is one of the most southern places you can stay and still be in the USA. A quiet place to enjoy nature, Ka Hale Ana ma Kula Kai, is suitable for small or large families or groups of friends. The house is nestled southeast of a finger of lava that provides a natural barrier that protects the garden-like kipuka from high winds. A short distance over this lava ridge is a panoramic view of the southern coast, from the windmills near South Point, up the coast, past Manuka State Park. The ocean can be seen from the cave house; however, spectacular panoramic ocean vistas, are only two blocks makai from the house.
This is an ideal location for conveniently exploring both sides of the Island in easy one day drives, and an ideal central location to access some of the three secluded beaches - white sand, black sand, and green sand along the southern coast.
The Cave House is only a 3 minute drive to the village of Ocean View, with its stores and services, two restaurants, gas station, shopping area, grocery store and hardware store, etc. Two of the most affordable 18 hole golf courses in all the Islands (Sea Mountain at Punaluu and Discovery Harbor in Naalehu) are a modest driving distance.
