Super nice cottage near the ocean, designed with outdoor living in mind, with a wrap-around lanai, open floor plan and beautiful foliage. Only a few years old and built with quality construction, you will love the large kitchen and cozy living room with plenty of windows for great airflow, Of course, most of your time will be spent out on the lanai where you can relax and enjoy the marvelous tropical foliage. Upscale fixtures and lots of little touches make this place a truly enjoyable place to hang out. It really needs to be seen to be appreciated. Kalapana Seaview Estates is in the "banana belt", a sunny part of East Hawaii that's near the ocean but without all the rain and traffic found in most of Hawaii. Kehena Black Sand Beach is less than a mile away and famous for the friendly dolphins that often come by. Shopping is in Pahoa, a 20-minute drive and the big stores are in Hilo which is less than an hour away. For small items, head down the scenic "Red Road" to Uncle Roberts old Hawaii with a small convenience store and Awa bar. On Saturday mornings there is a thriving Farmer's Market.
