  A special thank you to Beverly, Dallas and Trevor. Beverly & Dallas your house was a lovely get away from the hussle and busle of life. You can just enjoy life around the house or go out adventuring, whatever your energy level. The minnows in the pond out front give you a great natural foot or back message. The tidal pools which we were so busy we didn't really enjoy until two days before leaving were wonderful. You thought about amenities we were not expecting you to, which was a very nice addition to an already delightful vacation spot. We would recommend this house whole heartly. You really have the option to relax or sight see, adventure, swim with the sea turtle's at Black Beach, the volcano park, waterfalls, horseback riding,luai and much more.Trevor wanted to thank you for all your help and advice prior to reaching Hawaii, you were a great help to us. You answered any questions we had, and gave us direction where we needed it. Again a sincere thank you for a wonderful 11 day vacation in your home Karen,Mike, Ellen & John 6/23-7/4/05 Croydon, Pa Quakertown, Pa.

  My husband and I LOVED this house! It was beautiful, serene, clean, and comfortable. There were many places to rest and relax on the property depending on the weather and time of day. We could sit by one of the ponds or on one of several decks. If you want a place to relax and refresh, this is it! I admit that I would have liked to have known in advance that the house does not have a full size oven, but we adjusted quite nicely to using the toaster oven and barbecue. The construction next door is continuing, but because there are so many relaxing venues to choose from, we were never really bothered by noise or activity. (The construction crew is really friendly, too!) We will book this house again the next time we visit Kapoho. It is just too good to pass up!

  We stayed there for a week, and it was an excellent and quiet place. (Yes, there is a construction site next door, but in that week they were only working for one or two days, and they stop around 5 pm). The description and the pictures give a very accurate impression of the place. The house and the garden were very clean and well maintained. The location is good for trips to Kalapana, to the Volcano National Park, to Hilo and to Mauna Kea, which is possible as a relaxed day-trip. We did some snorkeling in the tidal pools, which are just around the corner. Also swimming in the pool at the house is wonderful. The pool is large enough and deep enough that you can really swim in there. We enjoyed sitting on the kitchen-lanai for breakfast and in the evening, watching the geckoes on the lanai or the fish in the pool (and the change of the tides in the pool, too!) Later in the evening we switched to the upper lanai to watch the stars and have a glass of wine. This is a great place in a quiet neighborhood. The garden is a tropical setting with the palm trees and the pool. We had a wonderful time there, it was a perfect place for the end of our vacation, and it was really hard to fly back to frosty Germany…

  Aloha Dallas and Beverly - I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed and appreciated the opportunity to reside in your lovely Warm Springs Guest House; the home and park like property exceeded our expectations in every way and were hard to leave from the moment we arrived. Your attention to detail both inside and out inspired a sense of being in a living art gallery; the ponds, plantings and their inhabitants were a constant pleasure to behold. Mahalo for making such a special place available; we will certainly keep you in mind next time we're in Kapoho! sincerely, Bob & Chizue

  Warm Springs was everything that was promised. There was some construction next store, but they started at 9 and were done by 5. Other than that the pool at the house was awesome and better yet walking a short distance yielded a calm large pool that I could've stayed in forever. The house was well appointed and it is very private from the road and neighbors. If you don't want to go anywhere, walks, bike riding, swimming and just chilling are great things to do. Plus the people staying in the area are very friendly. I had dinner with people I met several times during my stay. There are no restaurants nearby, but I wasn't really looking for that.

  We had a wonderful stay, only wish it could have been longer. The house was very nice in a rustic way. We loved the pond and patio area. The place was clean and the beds were comfy. Ocean is very close by maybe two blocks. We would highly recommend this place to friends and family Pete & Sheri PS: Great little Italian bistro in Pahoa and I mean little so get there early.

  My parents and my wife and our two year old girl had a wonderful time here. We are calling the house our beach cottage. Its more of a beach cottage experience in our minds. Nice location one block away from the ocean and tide pools. The snorkeling was more fun here than at captain cook and so much more fish and coral and just easier and more fun with all the deep holes and passages to explore. I especially liked floating back into the main pool from further out with the tide which comes in pretty strong. Its like a water slide underwater. There where only ever a few other people there and the area seems pretty secluded. Very jungle like setting with many neat houses around. Theres only a few loops of homes here and not very many fancy high end homes and no condo's. Pahoa has everything you will need and is a short drive away and lots of neat sites along the "Red Road". The house was clean and had all we needed. Only a charcoal BBQ but it cooked our fresh fish nicely. Would be nice to have some newer snorkel gear with the valves in it for underwater diving. Would also be nice to have a bigger bed in the downstairs room as we where travelling as two couples and only one bed big enough for two here. The grounds here are amazing and the house has a lot of charm and character and is definitely one of a kind. Looks like the house has had a few new improvements and is slowly getting some more. The fish pond is pretty neat and my girl loved watching them from the table. Such a nice place to walk around. We did the morning walk to the ocean with our Kona coffee in hand to watch the amazing sunrises. It did rain many times during the day for 10 minutes or so and then BAM its sunny and warm again right after. Pretty cool place. The day we left we watched the sunrise here and then a sunset on the other side of the island.

  Heavy Sigh ... I wish I was still in this gem of a house and property. What an absolute dream come true! My sister and I had a lovely week snorkeling in the tide pools (amazing experience!) , eating local produce and food, sipping on fresh ginger tea, hanging out by the house ponds, and relaxing. The house is a beautifully crafted piece of architecture with Koa wood floors and cabinets. The art and cultural areas inside and out are gorgeous and reflect the personality of the owners. I will make sure to meet them in person on my next visit. The kitchen is basic but good. Beds downstairs could have been a little softer but the upstairs bedroom is dreamy. I was happy hanging around upstairs and could easily spent a week reading and enjoying the view from there if it weren't for the tide pools. The little Coqui frogs are noisy at night. I loved them but they bothered my sister. Get your groceries before you come and plan ahead so you don't have to drive back and forth to Pahoa. You really should have reef shoes, buy them or bring them before you come. They have some snorkeling gear, (you don't need fins) or bring your own. The house pond and tide pools are clean and beautiful. Ohhhh, I want to come back now. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy ......

  Warm Springs Guest House is in such a peaceful setting with the fish pond surrounded by all the beautiful palm trees and garden area; it made our five day stay so memorable. We loved listening to all the birds and frogs chirping, (including the pet gecko,) along with the distant ocean waves, lulling us to sleep at night. After long days of adventure seeking, traveling the island to see all the sights, it is in a good location for home base, with a well appointed kitchen to prepare meals or BBQ on the lanai. We really enjoyed all the woodwork and art pieces decorating this spacious home, and having our morning coffee on the lanai, watching the sunrise, while planning our next adventure was heavenly. We drove to Kona for a day trip, went on a helicopter tour of the volcano and falls, went to the Farmers Market and bought delicious papaya (5/$1.00). It is just a short walk to the tidepools for the most amazing snorkeling, which was the highlight of our trip. The location is very rural and away from all the touristy stuff, which is exactly what we wanted. The funky little town of Pahoa has great restaurants for when we wanted to eat out. Warm Springs Guest House was clean and well maintained and we loved our stay. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We are telling all our family and friends about your great tropical retreat.
