Location: Kapoho, Puna District, Big Island, Hawaii, USA (Eastern most point of the Big Island, 27 miles to Hilo.)

Accommodations:  House, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-5)

The secluded guest house is located in a small, quiet, seaside community, not far from the Cape Kumakahi lighthouse, at the easternmost point of the Big Island. It is a very comfortable, totally private, 2-story 1500 sq. ft. home with large lanais adjoining both the kitchen and the master bedroom on the 2nd floor and is located in a park-like setting with many palm trees and tropical plantings and 2 ponds. The house lanais overhang a large crystal-clear tidal-controlled thermal swimming and fish pond (usually about 88 degrees Fahrenheit) with colorful reef fish in front of the house and a dock for relaxing and sunbathing. The kitchen is fully equipped including, granite counter tops, refrigerator-freezer, microwave oven, Jenn-Air radient electric cooktop, regular and espresso coffee makers with a coffee grinder, blender, a wide assortment of pots and pans, and an outdoor barbecue.

It's a three minute walk to the ocean and to the best swimming entry into the famous Wai’ Opae fish preserve tidal ponds (about ½ mile long and several hundred feet wide) which offer the safest swimming and unrivaled scenic snorkeling in east Hawaii. The large interconnected ponds are separated from the open ocean by a reef and are always calm even when the sea beyond the reef is wild (see picture of Wai’ Opae tide ponds in the early morning below).

The weather along this coast is by far the sunniest and least rainy in east Hawaii. This part of the Big Island is still rural so one isn’t bothered by scores of tourists . . . if you are looking for tranquillity this is one of the best areas for a stay in the island chain.

  • 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.

  • We loved this place. Very well kept. Would have never left if we could have bought it. Two of the best weeks of my life. We talk about this place constantly. This is rural Hawaii at its best. Great, great, great.

  • We had a wonderful time. The guest house is enjoyable, pleasant and relaxing. It's a terrific base from which to visit the rest of the island. Surely a "go back to".

  • Beautiful location, very peaceful. House was well appointed - our only "negative" would be that for our party of 2 couples and my 80 year-old mother-in-law, the second bathroom only being accessiible through the single bedroom was not ideal. Property was exactly as it looks on the web page, everything we needed was there. Beverley, Dallas and Trevor professional and efficient. Would definitely recommend this to others!

  • We really enjoyed our stay in the guest house. Just walking around Kapoho it's easy to see that this is one of the best maintained propertys there. It is a perfect spot for a relaxing Hawaii vacation, away from the bustle of the resort scene, but close enough to everything we wanted to see and do. I only wish we'd discovered how good the snorkling in the tidepools was earlier in our stay.

    Overall Rating : Outstanding Sylvia Gosline Oregon We spent an idyllic week in this island paradise. The guest house is quaint but has everything you need. The pond out front provided many hours of entertainment for our 12 yr. old and for ourselves. A 5 min. walk brings you to the tidal pools with some of the best snorkeling I've seen. We'll definitely be back. I think Kapoho is the best kept secret in the islands.

    Overall Rating : Outstanding Gary and Joyce Lees Columbus, Ohio: Great house, well appointed and fantastic setting in a tropical garden. Very relaxing, just the birds and ocean for background noise. Pond is perfect for late night dips. Going back as soon as possible!
