Luxuriously Appointed Bali Temple Has 160 Degree Ocean Views!

Located right at the Pacific Ocean ~ Bali Temple offers 160-degree Ocean Views and a wonderfully relaxing and peaceful Hawaii experience that will leave you fully rejuvenated.
Bali Temple is truly a unique and special place to spend your time in Hawaii, and is known for its dramatic setting, beautiful architecture, and luxuriously well-appointed amenities.

Bali Temple is located adjacent to the 1993 lava flow which has created 160 degrees of glorious, expansive Pacific Ocean and whitewater views for your enjoyment. There is a private black sand beach a few hundred yards away to enjoy year-round sunrises and sunsets and watch the humpback whales breaching during the winter months.
Bali Temple enjoys a fully equipped modern kitchen, double vanity sinks, 6’ spa bathtub, granite, gorgeous Mahogany wood trim accents, expansive picture windows looking out to the ocean, large mirrors, a covered lanai, Tempur-Pedic mattresses, 100% cotton bedding, and thick bath towels.

Bali Temple is located on the top floor of a 2-story house and is fully contained with its own entrance, stairway, and amenities. It is 100% private. Ocean Temple, VRBO # 1247897, is located on the main 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. We offer a sanctuary setting, where 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 sacred container when on the property.

When my visitors depart Bali Temple, they feel refreshed, invigorated, and much more vibrant than when they arrived. The air along our coastline has been measured to be the cleanest in the United States! The lush greenery and scenic coastline areas are inspiring.

There are many spectacular sites to visit during your stay: visit Kehena Beach, a gorgeous black sand beach where you may be lucky to swim and snorkel with wild spinner dolphins, and your (non) clothing is optional. Check out the numerous Volcano Touring activities such as: Volcano National Park, Lava Tree State Park, and Lava Hikes.

Experience an abundance of shopping for the true tastes of Hawaii with its abundant selections of fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, flowers, and unique gift items at either Maku'u Market in Pahoa (Sunday morning), the Kaimu Market (Saturday morning, and ½ mile away from Bali Temple!) complete with authentic Hawaiian music and locally made crafts and treasures, and the Hilo Farmer's Market (7 days a week).

Acquaint yourself with the Island flora with a tour at the Botanical Gardens, sightsee and explore numerous waterfalls, Whale Watch from the lanai, indulge yourself with fine Dining, and dance it all off at Ecstatic Dance on Sundays at Kalani, and then the Drum Circle on Sunday afternoon at Kehena Beach. There are numerous Yoga Classes, Pilates Classes, and massage therapists ready to treat you!

Dining options from Bali Temple are numerous: Right in the neighborhood is an authentic Ava Bar, serving up the local and relaxing Kava beverage, with the Kalapana Village Café right next door, open til 9pm. Kalani Honua is 4 miles down the Red Road for delicious meals too. 9 miles up the road is Pahoa Town, with numerous options in Italian, Thai, Sushi, Mexican, Kaleo’s Bar and Grill, coffee shops, etc. Hilo is 30 miles for many more choices.

If you are seeking a retreat from the rest of the world, amidst luxurious accommodations, and a perfect springboard location to the rest of the island's activities, in an Old-World Hawaii setting only Lower Puna can offer, then Bali Temple is perfect for you.

I look forward to your visit at Bali Temple…see you soon!

My 3rd time staying at this property. If you want a quiet, beautiful, serene visit to the Big Island, this is the place to stay. Literally at the end of the road next to Kalapana. Much more relaxing than staying at the big resorts. I'll certainly be back for a 4th visit....Mahalo!!

Peaceful stay by the lava fields
We spent four nights at Bali Temple and we both determined this was a special place. The unit is fully stocked with everything you need. It is clean, and serene. The location is right by the ocean and the lava fields, and the full moon shone down in the evenings. It is near beaches and markets and is a fun area to explore. Our host was helpful and responsive. We would stay again in a heartbeat if we return to this part of Hawaii.

Must Stay!
Balcony overlooking the ocean! Lava to walk on outside the back door! Beautiful artwork inside and amenities galore. Such a comfy master bed - posturepedic. Wished the other bed options were better: thin mattress on lanai bed, thick foam and hard option, or squishy couch not a pull out. Teen slept fine on lanai bed but older side sleepers might not. Loved the squishy sofa - so cozy for chatting with my love face to face. Views are awesome! Birds were chirpy so ear plugs helped and windows quality that blocked sound some. The night sky stars were incredible! The use of binoculars were much appreciated to soak in the incredible views. There is a circle window that lets you wake up to a view. Would stay there again for sure! A must stay! We can’t wait to return. Mahalo for such an incredible experience!

Remote and Not as Advertised
This listing is pretty misleading, in the following ways: - The property is only the top floor of a house and this is not indicated anywhere in the listing details - The location is pretty remote with not many options for food or otherwise nearby - The unit itself is a fair distance from the water, so the "160 Degree Ocean Views" description is quite an embellishment - The property is very close to neighbors who, when we arrived, were playing music loud enough to hear inside on the unit We discovered these aspects only upon arrival for what was to be a romantic getaway and it left us scrambling to find other accommodations. Hands down this is the worst rental experience that I've ever had. Buyer beware.

I saw the ISS
In this harmonious abode, one is greeted by an aura of pristine serenity that resonates deeply with the meticulous care poured into each facet of its existence. The custodian of this sanctuary, imbued with an ardent spirit, reverently crafts an offering that emanates not only tangible goods but an intangible essence, a testament to her reverence for the holistic experience. As one ventures beyond the confines of this haven, they are embraced by the gentle embrace of nature's embrace, a symphony of tranquility that dances in tandem with the heart's rhythm. The external vista, a kaleidoscope of undulating beauty, mirrors the inner sanctum's ethos of mindful harmony, forging an immersive tapestry where the senses and soul are interwoven in a sublime ballet.

Bali Temple is WONDERFUL and we highly recommend it.
This is perhaps the nicest short-term rental we’ve ever stayed in, & we’d book it again in a heartbeat! It was clean, spacious, & beautifully decorated. The towels & other amenities are high quality. Someone commented on dealing w/ a portable A/C and fans, so the ductless mini-splits (a/k/a heat pumps) must be recent. They work quickly to make temps perfectly comfortable; no need to be worried about climate control. The views were unbeatable & the location spectacular! Some mentioned that it’s a little more remote, which is true. That was a plus for us, but if you’re looking to walk to restaurants or swimmable beaches, this wouldn’t be the location for you. Some had issues w/directions to get there, but we didn't. The directions provided are very precise & detailed; if you follow them you'll find it just fine. Others have also mentioned that the bed is high to get into–also true. If you have agility/balance issues, this might be an issue for you, especially if you’re on the shorter side. But it’s a very cool bed, & very comfortable! Our sole criticism of Bali Temple is the trash situation. You’re instructed to take it to a transfer station, which isn’t open every day (& wasn’t the day we left.) This doesn’t seem like something you should have to do in a short-term rental. OTOH we were happy to see instructions for putting your compost in a compost pile. We compost at home & always regret putting veggie scraps in the trash while on vacation. We stayed 3 days in early May 2023.

Beautiful Location
The location and property were gorgeous. The views were once in a lifetime, but the directions were vague and the surrounding area is NOT a tourist location. Do not book this VRBO without doing a little research on the climate reguarding tourists on the big island, but over all a beautiful landscape.

One of the best Vrbo’s we’ve every stayed at! Magical, quite and peaceful! The view is amazing and the seclusion just enough. So much to do on this island! National Park is a must. We went slightly north of Hilo and visited the botanical gardens a must as well, went to Kona for the day. Did the Abalone farm tour cool! The city of Pahoa has many good restaurants to select from. Rachaelle’s home was well stocked and we enjoyed many dinners with a gorgeous lava/ocean view! The bed was very comfortable as were the many daybeds. Rachaelle was quick in communication. We highly recommend Bali Temple…you won’t be disappointed!

Great views with this well furnished house, but hard to locate!
The views from the deck were great and this house is very close to a well known black sand beach (though be aware it is a nude beach). Only issues that we encountered were 1) actually locating the house - directions were given in advance but the Google pin did not work for us, although our GPS did work fine in the remote location. 2) The bathroom towels smelled as though they were used on a dog. 3) The water pressure in the shower was minimal. Otherwise, the stay was great! Bed was luxurious and the sound of waves were wonderful!

Solitude and beauty abound!
The property is well-loved as evidenced by its pristine condition. The house and grounds could not have been any cleaner. The location was unbeatable for a quiet escape, only a short walk to the shore and a view of the ocean from the lanai. The house is located in an isolated neighborhood but not eerily alone. Some noise from the downstairs unit was heard in the early morning (voices and the moving of furniture) but not enough to be irksome. I truly loved the space and the zen-like feel. The calm quiet environment was soothing. I hope to return again and will definitely rebook this exact unit!
