Only In Hawaii Can You Spend The Night Next To An Active Volcano

As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

The Hawaiian Islands welcome approximately 8 million tourists annually – and as a result, there are obviously countless lodging options available to anyone visiting the islands for the first time, or even those taking a vacation from a neighboring island. From rustic cabins and remote campgrounds to idyllic cottages, bed and breakfasts, and luxury resorts, the lodging options are endless – and unique in their own right. Found just miles from an active volcano on Hawaii Island, this enchanting vacation rental just might be the most unique place to stay in Hawaii.

This enchanting slice of paradise is Phoenix House - a tiny 450-square foot home nestled at the base of Kilauea Volcano in Kalapana - and it is the hottest vacation listing you’ll find in Hawaii. Literally.

The one-bedroom property is just four miles away from the volcano, which has erupted 66 times since 1983, and promises epic volcano, ocean, and starry night sky views.

According to the Airbnb listing: "Surrounded by lava, the scene here is surreal. You are at Pele's feet, just 4 miles away from the world's most active Volcano -- Kilauea. From your window, you can see the plume of smoke where the lava meets the ocean creating the newest land on earth. Smoking Volcano, Glistening Ocean, and miles and miles of dramatic black lava fields are all part of your expansive view and elemental experience here."

The gorgeous tiny home has more to offer than phenomenal views, though: the ambiance inside the rental is positively stunning. With modern farmhouse decor, you’re sure to feel right at home at Phoenix House.

The kitchenette is fully-equipped with everything you’ll need during your stay, including a propane stove top, small table, refrigerator and small dining table.

In the adorable living space, you’ll find a couch and small desk in front of an expansive window - the perfect setting to relax and let all your worries slowly slip away.

Even the bathroom is positively adorable.

Accessed via a modest stairway, the cozy bedroom loft features a queen-sized bed and is the perfect place to rest your head after a long day spent exploring the nearby Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and surrounding attractions.

Nearby attractions include black sand beaches, geothermal warm ponds, tide pools, waterfalls, live flowing lava, and local farmers markets.

With rates starting at just $151 per night, you’ll fall in love with this magical rental.

Advertised as a "retreat space for people to come visit in times of reverence, contemplation, and healing," owner Jade hopes to invite guests to "be reborn, come and rise from the ashes in Phoenix House."
