Elegant Oceanfront 2BR Home. Vast Panoramic Views, Steps to Kehena Beach. A/C. | House in Pāhoa
2 Bedroom House in Kehena Beach Estates, Pāhoa
The Jewel Box is your private oceanfront retreat perched above Kehena’s ancient lava cliffs. From the lanai, sweeping ocean views unfold—sunrise, sea spray, and the pulse of island life. Dolphins and whales pass by too. This fully stocked home is a short walk to Kehena Black Sand Beach, perhaps the most magical place on Hawai‘i. Nearby, Volcanoes National Park is a breathtaking place to explore—and if Pele, Hawai‘i’s volcano goddess is stirring, you’ll be close enough to witness her fiery dance!
From Your Host
"I didn’t set out to become a host—I just stumbled into paradise and couldn’t keep it to myself. Kehena’s wild beauty, lava cliffs, and soulful rhythm pulled me in. Now I get to share it with guests from around the world. The Jewel Box is my gift to travelers: a little sea spray, a little lava, and a lot of soul. I hope you feel the magic here, just as I did."
—Adam
Oceanfront living — panoramic views of the Pacific from every lanai

At night, here you can relax under the stars —the sound of waves below, the vast Pacific beyond, and a sky alive with constellations. It’s a phenomenal spot for nighttime magic.
I’m Adam Weiss, your personal host and the proud owner of The Jewel Box.
I transitioned this home from a corporate management organization to direct hosting to offer a more soulful, hands-on experience—with the same high standards, plus a more personal touch and dedicated local support.
I’m available throughout your stay by text, phone, or email. Feel free to communicate with me as much as you’d like!
My on-island cohost lives in the neighborhood and can assist if anything comes up.
While the main living areas rely on natural airflow, both bedrooms are equipped with whisper‑quiet split A/C units for guests who prefer cooler sleep.
A Note on Nature: Jungle Life at Kehena
We do our best to keep nature outside, but this is the jungle, and it likes to mingle.
You’ll likely meet our friendly house geckos—harmless, beautiful and considered good luck in Hawai‘i.
As for insects, most are just curious passersby, looking for their late-night snacks.
The only biters are mosquitoes, who tend to come out around sunset.
Nothing here is dangerous, but if you’re not on friendly terms with the insect world, please keep that in mind when choosing where to stay.
Home includes free parking and an exterior security camera for safety.
Safety Notice
