Kapoho House Rental Photos and Description
House, 2 Bedrooms + Den, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 2-4)
Snorkel and Swim and Enjoy Paradise at Hale Ho'okomo!
Hale Ho’okomo which means in Hawaiian “to come on in” is just exactly what you are going to want to do when you arrive in this cute as can be Kapoho cottage. Located in the highly desirable, ever-sunny Kapoho, Hale Ho'okomo is set in a lush tropical and private setting. Pick papayas, bananas, and other tropical fruits right outside your door. Yes, this is Paradise! Enter through the double glass doors into the large living area and into your warm and welcoming vacation home. Live like the locals in this colorful, fun and funky Hawaiian style cottage that is just steps from some of the most spectacular snorkeling found on the Big Island. Green sea turtles (honu) love this area because of its warm temperatures and so will you! From the house, you can hear the waves and smell the clear breeze blowing across the Pacific (cleanest air in the US).
Just a five minute drive down the famous Red Road is the Ahalanui Warm Spring Park which is a geothermally heated swimming pond at the edge of the Pacific Ocean. Since Kapoho is located at the furthest most eastern edge of the Big Island, it enjoys drier weather and those comfortable ocean trade winds. Just a ten minute drive is the quaint and historical village of Pahoa with its original boardwalks, shopping, and fantastic dining! There’s Italian, Thai and even Tex-Mex!
Hale Ho’okomo can sleep up to 5. There are two spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master bedroom has a Queen bed and a twin and the 2nd bedroom has a queen. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you will need to fix up a traditional island meal. For your convenience and easy clean up, there is a dishwasher. Other amenities to make your stay more comfortable are a washer/dryer, Flat screen Satellite TV, DVD player, telephone (local service only), and of course all linens and kitchenware included.

great get away
Being in this awesome tropical get away is a must. So close to the tide pools a short one or two block walk. The champagne ponds were so nice and a short drive to the warm ponds was a treat. We would totally stay there again.

A genuine Hawaii evperience
We stayed briefly (1 day), unfortunatelty we had leave earlier than planned. The house is in a great location for accessing the Kaphoho Tide pools, which have AMAZING snorkeling for all ages. My 7 YO and 9 YO grandsons really enjoyed looking at the fish which are accostomed to seeing people who won't try to spear them (like a lot of locations around the island). I even enjoyed talking to the locals that were working on the landscaping in the neighborhood. I have stayed in this neighbor before at VRBO's and have never had a bad experirance. ALL of the property owners seem to take pride in maintaining their homes, no messes anywhere and no "disturbances" (loud music, fast moving vehicles).
Additionally, I appreciated that Gerard's home is very authentic and clean, and everything worked as it should, & the decorating was well done. It was very comfortable for our party of 3 adults and the 2 kids. I will definately be back in a few years. Thanks Gerard!
Perfect location for us.
We have visited the Big Island many times as the Puna district is our favorite part of Hawaii. The house was very nice / roomy, and we really enjoyed the lava rock tropical garden. The house was in a perfect location for everything we wanted to do.
It was really nice that the tide pools were only a short walk away as we spent multiple days snorkeling there. We didn't make it out to Shipman Beach but made the beautiful drive to the end of Beach Rd (Old Government Rd?). It was there we watched at least a dozen huge sea turtles swimming.
In summary it was a very relaxing week.

Loved it
Wonderfully located next to a nice lil gem! The tidepools and the heated pond is perfect for a vacation. The house has a nice warm feel. I recommend this to everyone. Thank you for your house!
Deposit has not been returned
I would have given it a 5 star for its accommodations and location. But it went to a 1 star because i have not received my deposit back yet. It is 6 days later. They were able to take it out the first day i applied for the rental. This is a bad business practice. I should be making intrest off my money not someone else. There is another family in it the following day. I asked when i would get it back and have not received a response. I am not happy!
