Ocean Temple: Oceanfront, A/C, 500 ac.State Land in Backyard!

Graciously appointed Ocean Temple offers inspiring Pacific Ocean views, sunrises, sunsets, and lava fields spanning for miles across state land, to give you a wonderfully peaceful Hawaii experience that will leave you relaxed and rejuvenated.

Ocean Temple is truly a unique and special place to land in Hawaii! The wild and dramatic setting, beautiful architecture, and luxuriously well-appointed amenities will offer a wonderful vacation setting for you.

A private black sand beach is located a few hundred yards away... a perfect place to enjoy the year round sunrises and sunsets, watch the humpback whales breaching during the winter months, and its a perfect outdoor yoga setting.

This property was once a Buddhist's Retreat Center, and the original home served as lodging for the visiting Rinpoche. We strive to carry on the sacred sanctuary vibe here, and we expect our guests to do the same.

Ocean Temple is 1,100 sq ft, and enjoys an open floor plan (only the bathroom is enclosed). A pair of 12' wide and 10' wide sliding glass doors look out to the ocean and backyard gardens during the day and the star and planet studded night sky at night. From the covered lanai, your day time views are blessed with the blue ocean, organic gardens and coconut trees.

A king size bed with a memory foam mattresses pad, 100% cotton bedding, thick bath towels, gorgeous Mahogany wood trim accents, solid mahogany doors, and expansive picture windows looking out to the natural setting surrounding the property.

You will enjoy listening to the sounds of the ocean day and night! Plus a night sky that is so full of stars and the milk way galaxy.

Ocean Temple is located on the main floor of a 2-story house and is fully contained with its own entrance and amenities. Bali Temple, VRBO #285160, is located on the top floor of the house and is fully contained with its own entrance. Cottage at the Ocean, VRBO# 654541 is located in the separate cottage next door. There is a laundry room off of the house with its own entrance that all guests have access to. Contact me to learn about special rates when renting more than one of these properties at the same time.

All units are ideal for 2 people. Guests come to retreat from the hustle and bustle of their worlds, to deeply relax, recharge, and renew themselves amidst the beautiful natural setting that surrounds us. All guests are asked to maintain this sanctuary environment when on the property.
