Description
Wake to the thunder of the Pacific and fall asleep to the rhythm of waves crashing on ancient lava rock — welcome to 12-409 Puhala Street, a vibrant three-bedroom tropical retreat positioned directly across the street from the open ocean on Hawaii's lush and storied Puna Coast. This is not a "near the ocean" listing. Step outside and feel the salt spray carried on warm trade winds. Hear the surf from every room. This is ocean living in its purest form. The signature gathering space is a large, covered ocean-view lanai anchored by a stunning live-edge wood bar counter — bar stools lined up to watch the cobalt Pacific horizon while coconut palms sway outside the open windows. Whether it's morning coffee with a sunrise over the water or sunset cocktails with friends, this lanai delivers a front-row seat to one of nature's greatest shows. Bright canary-yellow exterior carry that same warm, indoor-outdoor island energy throughout the home. Open Lanai, Sliders and large windows flood every space with natural light and tropical character. Step outside to your private outdoor shower — the quintessential beach house luxury — and rinse off after a swim before stepping back inside. Arrive in style via a thoughtfully designed ramp and bridge system leading to the upper level, offering both dramatic architectural presence and practical everyday accessibility. The grounds are a tropical gardener's dream. Mature plumeria, hibiscus, bougainvillea, ti plant, and towering palms envelop the property in layered color, fragrance, and lush privacy. A solar energy system provides sustainable, cost-efficient power — because paradise should be enjoyed without worry. Three bedrooms. Incredible panoramic ocean views. Lush gardens. Solar. Outdoor shower. Large lanai. And the Pacific Ocean, right across the street. Puna Coast properties of this caliber are exceptionally rare. Come hear the waves. Come feel the spray. Come home.
