Photos and Description of the Papaaloa vacation studio rental
Studio, 1 Bedroom, 1 Bath, (Sleeps 2-4)

This brand new studio unit has all the conveniences and class of modern day living, situated within the charm of Old Hawaii. Nestled along the coastal bluffs of the sweet and slow village of Papa'aloa, guests can explore the island, then return to the comforts of an ocean view, chic kitchen, air-conditioning, king size bed and perhaps a movie or a session with the Wi-fi. A stroll in the vibrant neighborhood offers guests the natural beauty and local family living reflective of true Hawaii.

In a wing of a more than one hundred year old plantation building, this rental was recently renovated to accommodate a five star world traveler who enjoys being off the beaten track. Immerse yourself in the history of the plantation era. Take a walk to the cliff-side viewing of a fifty foot waterfall plunging into the ocean, a bridge over a year round stream teeming with bamboo, bananas, breadfruit, coconuts and avocado to name a few botanical delights, and the community tennis courts, gym swimming pool, and ball field are within walking distance.

We call it Hale Ohana because this is where our extended family stay when they visit. And because you may choose to stay and explore the island thrguide our connections. We can guide you on adventures from the mountains to the oceans and the farms, villages and rivers in between. Hidden hiking trails, secret waterfall swims, paragliding, diving, spearfishing, beekeeping, sailing and motorcycle riding are some of our closest friends and family members skills and services.

Our most satisfied guests have explored the island by day and been grateful to return home to the clean and comfortable tranquility of the studio at night.

Great place to stay

5 of 5
Submitted: November 28, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
We spent one week in this sweet place near Hilo. It is wonderfully decorated and very well-equipped, with a perfect kitchen, bathroom, comfortable bed and nice living-room area (you should bring your own DVDs...). Kristina is very welcoming and will help you out with anything you need. Papa'aloa is also a good base for exploring the island, especially if you prefer the greener (but also more rainy) north coast. We can strongly recommend this place to anyone!

At the End of the Rainbow

4 of 5
Submitted: February 23, 2012 Stayed: February 2012
As we drove to Papaaloa a rainbow appeared out of the mist. The rainbow ended just outside the studio, and we thought it was a good sign. We were right! Fresh flowers and a platter of fruit greeted us when we opened the door. It's a bright, open space with modern accommodations in a historical building. The waterfall behind the unit is amazing, and the sound of rushing water lulled us to sleep at night. It's a stones throw from the 50's Dinner and Laupahoehoe Train Museum and about mid-way between Hilo and the Waipio Valley, so it was a good starting point for day trips that didn't require hours in the jeep. Kristina is very friendly/trustworthy and embodies the spirit of aloha. Just one note- this studio is near a lot of working farms, so phones and computers can have patchy service; be patient if you're calling or emailing. Since our idea of a perfect vacation requires very little electronic communication this wasn't a problem.

My husband and I had a lovely stay at the studio. The home is beautiful, immaculate and peaceful. We look forward to coming back again and again. The photo do not allow you to see what a spacious room/facility that it is. Kristina could not have been more gracious and helpful. I have already recommended this property to many friends.

Great place to stay. The studio is more spacious then you could ever capture in a photo. Gentle breezes keep the room at the perfect temperature night and day. We will be staying here many more times to come.
