  Our experience here was the best ever. The house exceeded our expectations. We had everything we needed for our week and were very comfortable. The snorkeling was the best at Capt. Cooks. We got to kayak around the spinner dolphins right by the beach which was the best experience for all of us. We loved the privacy the property allowed. We definitely will recommend this property to our friends and relatives.

  Recommended for: Age 55+, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.

  Our stay at the Pagoda House was all we had hoped for. The location was ideal in that it was convenient to grocery stores and beaches. The pool was a huge hit with our grandchildren. The layout of the house was perfect to accommodate three generations. The kitchen is large enough for many cooks. The outside shower was a novel experience for our grandchildren coming from Alaska, they loved it. The home was well equipped and functional.

  This is the perfect island home...spacious and up-to-date home with all the comforts and conveniences. We appreciated the lovely goodies arranged by Bill and Jennifer for us upon arrival. The beds are comfy, they spared no expense when thoughtfully updating this house. We really loved the unbelievable shower in the master bedroom! It's the shower of our dreams. My husband and I had an unforgettable week with our 3 kids and three of their friends (age 11-16). They had a blast swimming in the pool, watching the birds and mongooses, taking pictures of all the flowers and trees, lounging on the hammock (serenading one another with their newly purchased ukelele), feeding the birds with the pulley-system bird house, taking walks down to the launch pad and around the neighborhood to watch the waves, turtles and other sea life as well. We were all thoroughly entertained with the natural paradise that surrounded us without even leaving the property. We took kayaks out on the perfect day and got to see (and swim near) spinner dolphins that only showed up this particular day. Captain Cook's coral reef sanctuary is a must see! It is one of the top 3 most spectacular reefs in the world and does not disappoint! It was amazing. Bring a GoPro! Our underwater video looks professional. Incredible and easy to use! The house is about a half hour from the airport and, a couple hours from the volcano, but we didn't feel too isolated...and really appreciated the quiet and privacy this area and the house provides. And the drive to anywhere is one gorgeous scene after another. Time flies! We recommend ChoiceMart over Safeway. 10 minutes to ChoiceMart and their selection and prices were actually better than Safeway. We buy quite a few health food items and fish and ChoiceMart was well-stocked with those. Kona Boys hooked us up with snorkel gear 10 minutes up the road. (Snorkel Bobs is a little more expensive and a 20+ minute drive, but they probably have a larger selection. Even so, Kona Boys was fine for our needs and super friendly and full of information). The Pagoda House property manager (Les) was very helpful and responsive whenever we had questions. We would be happy to spend all our vacations here for the rest of forever.

  The Pagoda House is a great home for a family vacation. The Owners, Jennifer & Bill, left us the most amazing welcome basket upon our arrival to the Big Island. There are plenty of towels for the entire family- both beach and bath towels. The appliances and kitchen are top notch and the decor of the house is inviting and spacious. The house was comfortable for 8 adults and the pool and grounds are amazing. Sine the Pagoda House is a "tree house" we had some issues with little bugs getting through the screens when the lights were on at night. The other negative is that some of the neighbors have roosters so they start crowing early. Luckily we are all early risers but if you are a light sleeper this might be an issue. The property is clean and well maintained. The home is nicer than the pictures. I would recommend this rental to our friends. Thank you Jennifer & Bill for your hospitality.

  Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

  Owner response: A couple of times in the summer, small nats will come through the screens. We recommend sitting by the pool with the tiki torches burning rather than being in the house with all the lights on. The inside lights attract the nats.

  I took my family to stay at the Pagoda House for our annual vacation, and all I can say is WOW! The house is beautiful and beautifully maintained. The gardens are spectacular. The pool is great and the location can't be beat. Bill and Jennifer are gracious hosts and clearly care a lot about their guests' comfort. Everything is top notch. You fall asleep to the sound of waves and wake up to the sound of birds. We're hoping to come back to the Pagoda House again soon!

  Pagoda House lived up to and beyond our expectations! Thank you for the added bonus of the flowers and fruit. We enjoyed them tremendously. It is hard to leave, particularly for those of us going home the cold and snow. Hope to be back next year. Kayaking, snorkeling with dolphins and the beautiful coral was fantastic. Aloha and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

  Our extended family with grandparents and kids ages 7 and 11 LOVED the Pagoda House. The landscaping and pool area are really beautiful and allowed for us to really enjoy our "down time" days while on our Hawaii vacation. The house is also extremely spacious and airy, just like a giant screened porch, and we all really enjoyed that "tropical tree house" ambiance. Kitchen is wonderful for relaxing dinners at home, fully equipped with subzero fridge, island cooktop, deep farmer's sink, disposal, compactor, etc etc etc. Weather in April was very comfortable, in the high 70s/low 80s most of the time, getting down to around 70 degrees at night. We found K-Bay to be the perfect home base for an active vacation - took day trips to Mauna Kea, Hapuna Beach park and Volcano. We also rented kayaks for the week, and would probably only recommend that if you have two or more large/strong people in your group to haul them back and forth from the launching area. Although its only a block away, the kayaks are HEAVY! Easier to just rent from the place right on the bay each day. Recommend the Coffee Shack for breakfast -- views are really amazing as is the ono benedict. Also, Kona Mike's surfing lesson up in Kailua Kona was the highlight family activity -- great instructors and the beginner area is calm and friendly. Even 42-yr-old Mom with a bad knee managed to stand up and surf a few times! If you prefer a more low key vacation, just sitting in the hammock reading, walking out to see the dolphins in the morning with a fresh cup of Kona coffee, and listening to the birds, this house is great for that too. My parents (in their late sixties and seventies) found it to be fabulous and relaxing and want to come back again soon...

  Loved the Big Island experience and really enjoyed our stay in the Pagoda House. The home is impeccable and has all the amenities one needs. You are close to the beach and not far from any of the Kona activities yet far enough away to relax and unwind. It was truly a wonderful experience and we would highly recommend staying here and would definitely return in the future!

  The photos and video virtual tour of this property were excellent, but our first impression was, this property is actually better in person! The first floor is like one immense open lanai with a TV area, dinning room, two island kitchen, and spacious living room. The 3 first floor bedrooms were roomy with great bath facilities. The upstairs master suite and bath were spectacular. We were concerned about the lack of AC but had been assured by the owners, and they were correct, that AC would not be a problem during our stay, the first week of February. The daily breeze and multiple fans were more than adequate during the day and fans were not necessary at night. The beautiful pool and lush grounds were enjoyed by our party throughout our stay. The location was great. Kayaks were available just down the street, a very short walk. We found snorkeling at Captain Cook Monument to be the best we had ever experienced. Additional snorkeling was available a short drive south next to the City of Refuge. The City of Refuge was also a very interesting and informative National Park to visit. The Pagoda House is a wonderful property, you will not be disappointed, and our whole group highly recommends this vacation home.

  I have just returned from a week at the Pagoda House, and am so glad we found this gem of a home! Jennifer and Bill have created a true oasis of peace and relaxation in Kealakekua Bay. The home exceeded all expectations; pictures cannot do justice to it! The small touches were very much appreciated, such as the basket of fruit and coffee on arrival. We can't wait to return!
