Mocean View Inn Adventure Lodging

Pronouced like "motion" as on a clear day you can see the mountain (Mauna Kea) and the ocean from the road leading into our neighborhood, mocean was born. Mocean to us means the movement of nature, the rain nourishing the ground and ourselves, birds singing, the coqui's chirping.......

Our jungalows are eco-friendly using minimal energy and only water that has been sustainably harvested from the roof collecting rainwater. Each cabin provides a genuine Hawaiian experience while still giving necessary comforts. The private bathrooms are open to the outdoors, showering in the Ohia forest is truly magical! The kitchen is communal so you will likely encounter other guests if you use it. Fresh eggs, coffee, tea, honey and spices are available for guests as well as a fully stocked kitchen with pots, pans, etc. 

Our location is close to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park as well as disc golf courses! It is a central location for reaching Hilo, Pahoa, Volcano or even taking a ride over to Green Sands Beach!

Jungalow

The ULTIMATE rainforest experience while providing comforts to make your stay enjoyable. Live in traditional Hawaiian style homes! We have strong wifi and grid power so there is never a shortage. We also feature a 10,000-gallon rainwater catchment that is ALWAYS full! Enjoy rainforest showers with endless hot water! Our cabins are newly updated with added comforts and even have USB plugs in the nightstand right next to your bed. Although we have everything you will want to be comfortable, we have done so in a sustainable way, with about 1/4 of the energy consumption of the average household.

This rustic, jungle themed jungalow with exposed stud walls and built in shelves for a light, open feel, features a mini fridge, propane heater, private full bathroom and covered lanai. There is one queen bed in the cabin. We have another listing where we have combined the two cabins for a max of 4 people. The cabins are right next to each other making it ideal for groups!

There is a kitchen on property shared with one other rental perfect for making friends while traveling! The kitchen features a brand new washer, dryer, stainless steel sink and is stocked with all the cooking supplies you will need.

We provide a detailed welcome packet with a variety of mostly free but some paid must see/do activities on the island that our past guests have loved!

HOT TUB
We have a hot tub deck with a plug n play spa. Use of this is NOT included in your nightly stay but is available as an add on for $25/night. Please note that the $25/night is not for the nights you would want to use it but for each night of your stay regardless if you use it. The cheapest rental on island, with a hot tub is AT LEAST double our nightly price. The deck is communal space.

VEHICLES
We also have a 2017 4WD Toyota Tacoma available for rent with airport delivery. Mopeds and a slingshot as well!

TOURS
At night your ears will be greeted by the forest with sounds of coqui frogs. Many people love them. Please search for Bathing Suits and Rain Boots on YouTube to find a video of what our property sounds like at night. Our channel also features videos of tours we offer and shorts with educational island facts! More to be uploaded, check back often! Our tours include off the beaten path adventures ranging from sunrises and geothermal ponds, to hikes that lead to waterfalls! All tours are local gems that you will not find online or offered by any other tour guide agency.

BEACH GEAR
We have surf boards, boogie boards and snorkel gear available for guests as well as beach towels!

ANIMALS
We have a 501(c)(3) non-profit dog rescue so there are a number of dogs on the one acre property at any given time. Guests should only interact with loose dogs on the property and not ones in kennels without owner discretion. Guests that adopt a dog and bring it home receive a waived adoption fee and a 25% discount on all future stays :) We also LOVE when guests take our dogs on field trips and/or walks!

MISC
There are a total of four cabins on the one-acre lot. The owners and groundskeepers are on property including dogs, cats, and chickens. We have a non-profit dog rescue so there are a number of dogs here at any given time. We do our best to keep their barking to a minimum, but occasionally, there is still some. They have tons of play time, enrichment toys, walks, cuddles, etc. but can bark more when we are not home especially. We provide ear plugs for this as well as rain or any other occasional noise that you may incur.

We homestead and have many foods growing such as lilikoi, bananas, papayas, pineapple, fig, strawberries, poha berries, sugar cane, lemons, blood oranges, rosemary, basil and more!

Rainforest massages are available starting at $100 for the hour.

We are about about a 30 minute drive from the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and a lovely central location to many other places on the island. Keep in mind, we are a BIG island so more driving is required here than the other islands.

We are at 1880ft elevation so it can get chilly at night. All of our cabins are equipped with propane heaters for comfort. Winters are also rainy season so if traveling to the Big Island in the winter, we suggest some light layers for warmth, a raincoat and rain boots.

Economy Crash Pad

Super cute cabin perfect for those wanting an affordable stay while still comfortable! Hawaii Island is quite large and our roads don’t connect well. Our location puts you central to many desirable places to visit!

This is a private, separate structure with a room and bathroom. The cabin has a mini-fridge and camp chef oven with top burners for small meals. There is a kitchen on property for the other rental units only. Please check them out if you would like a full kitchen.

We have a 501(c)(3) dog rescue so there are quite a few dogs here at any given time. Dogs, cats, and chickens are on the property. Dogs are outside. If this is an issue upon arrival please let us know PRIOR to your checkin date. We usually have rescues here along with our own dogs. They may bark upon guest arrivals or when we aren’t here. If this is an issue, you might be better suited for a different property. We do provide ear plugs in case any occasional barking is bothersome. Pics of some of our rescue and resident dogs are in the listing :)

We also have a monarch butterfly sanctuary so you will often see them flying around!
