  This was a perfect place for us to get together to relax and explore the island. We went Kayaking near Kailua, went Hiking on Chain of Craters, swam many places, and shopped at 3 farmers markets. The one in Hilo is amazing. It was a terrific place for Roxane's 80th Birthday!

  I absolutely loved the house! It has an amazing view and overal feeling. I named the elderly duck charles, he hangs out at Dolphin Fountain at night, then just around during the day. :) Have an amazing stay! The surf at the Issac Hale Park down the road is off the hook!!

Volcano National Park - Kilauea IKI Trail! - Miss the lava flows down here. To far to see anything awesome

  I had fun in this house there are not as much fish as next door but we have cool fish too. We went to the tide pools (I like riding the current). You should really check out the Volcano at night but its really cold. Also go check out the heavenly hawaiian coffice place they are really nice and the coffee is very good, they give you lots of samples and sit down and talk to you. Have Fun!!

  Our family loved being here. Daughter, 52 years old said best of 10 vacations ever. Next time we'll Rent 2 Housesand bring everyone. Be sure to go to Volcano at night to see the the glow. We are glad our married grand daughter is staying in Hilo. She will be RN at the hospital and James at the University. We had so much fun cooking together. Amazing what we cam up with. Our favorite, chopped pinapple and bananas cooked together with a butter & sugar. Served over sweet bread toasted for breakfast. Also Spam & eggs.

  Our family of seven couldn't have had a better place to enjoy paradise. The view and the pool behind the house were amazing! We loved snorkeling here and at the Kapoho Tidepools! Stay away from the Isaac Hale Beach Park - we had the tire on our car slashed while we were there! We hate to leave this sound of the ocean and the frogs at night. This has been the trip of a lifetime for our family. Thank you for the amazing memories we made here!

  This was our best stay yet in Kapoho. We now make the Merry Monarch our week long get away every year. Living on Maui and working at resorts and owning a catering company which services homes such as this, we are not easily impressed, but were blown away by the accommodations, pools,and friendliness of Sophia and the entire neighborhood. You will be hard pressed to find better than this. Everything is as described and better.Pool table, snorkel gear, floats,3 decks, 2 bbqs on and on. The only drawback...small kine, no Verizon service in Kapoho, you must drive to Pahoa for service but the wife has another phone company just for that reason.

  Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

  Owner response: Aloha! Thank you for sharing your visit with us on VRBO and for future travelers to see. I am so glad to hear you enjoyed the home and atmosphere! Unfortunately, there is no Verizon in this neighborhood but just a mile out of this neighborhood you get some signal. It's the price we all pay to be in this beautiful spot! :)Please think of us again! Best Regards,Sophia, Muhammad, & Lynette Yunis

  I had a great time swimming and play pool, but my favorite part was the duck. His name is Paradise , for he was found on the Kapoho Paradise Rental Home. However, I found you should stay away from him, don't get any closer than 2 feet. My brother always discobeyed this. It turns out his name is Mr. Waddle, but I like Paradise better.

  Lovely house in a fantastic setting - we spent the whole first day just enjoying the pond & the fish. Other adventures were Mauna Kea stargazing, Lava Tree State Park, Two trips to HAVO, Isaac Hale to watch the crazy surfers, Ahalanui warm pond (wish we'd discovered that sooner!), Ice Cream in Pahoa, and a day trip to Hapuna Beach in Kohala. We'd love to return someday and enjoy your hospitality again.

  What a great place! The ponds were fantastic and we loved sitting out on the lanai every evening. The view overlooking the ponds, palms and ocean surf was unbelievable. Sadly, we did not see any turtles and the neighbors big spiny pufferfish did die while we were here, but that hardly put a damper (sorry Puffy) on our week! This is a unique beautiful place that we willnot soon forget!!

  This has been the best place on our trip to Hawaii! We all loved the friendly turtles in the ocean and of course puffy the puffer fish, next door. Champagne Ponds was amazing we found a little cave under the house there and recommend going to the Ahalanui Pool it is like a hot tub! We love to come back. Mahalo & Aloha

  We all enjoyed the snorkeling in the bathtub like water. We saw a eel that wasn't even hiding in the rocks. It was just swimming along very visible. We have seen many fish and 2 of us saw a sea turtle! We are hopefully going to experience Champagne Pond sometime in the Bdays we are here. We had some excellent shaved Ice about 1 hour away from here or less. We went on a hike to see Akaka Falls.

  Nice vacation rental - so good for kids, and plenty of space for the entire family. We were pleasantly surprised by the excellent snorkeling, the cool tropical fish next door - especially Puffy - the Muskovy (sp?) Duck, Mr. Waddles, and SUN pretty much everyday. We loved to go to the Champagne Pond it is so fun. I love the scenery from the Beach.

  This house was awesome and the ponds were great for snorkeling. The owners were always helpful and accommodating. The only thing missing was a can opener. We were a little surprised when visiting the Black Sand Beach at mile marker 19 as there were nudists there. The rental book supplied was very helpful in finding directions and explaining cautions. We would recommend this rental to all. Thank you for a wonderful time!

  Loved this family area. Best Snorkeling we've ever had. Very warm water in the ponds and out on the cove. We were amazed by all the different fish we saw at the lagoon house pond and we were able to see turtles. Puffy loves lettuce and the neighbors told us "meat!" Mr. Waddles was great to watch and feed as well. The Yunis family was very accommodating and kind. We'll def. be back!! Thank you!!

  Our stay here was truly paradise. We were here with our 2 children ages 7 & 9. They loved snorkeling in the geothermic pool (one word of advice-put sunscreen on your whole back-side if you know what I mean!) We loved going up to the Onizuka Center for International Astronomy. Another favorite thing of ours was hiking the undeveloped side of the Thuston Lava Tube at Volcanoes Na. Park - be sure to take a flashlight. The kids loved to feed the resident "duck." I think that one of the most meaningful things that we did here was plant a coconut tree at Kaimu Beach. We took pictures and got the GPS co-ordinates. One day, we will all come back and visit our tree that will add to the Big Island's beauty. This was a great trip with many lasting memories. Thank you to the Yunis family!

  Our stay here will always bring fond memories to all of us. This was a dream come true & this wonderful place made it even more than we expected it to be. Sunsets, sunrise, & even the rain made it a great experience. Daughter & son in law had these vows renewed & it was so beautiful & something that took place that we will never experience any where else in this world. Just a wonderful wonderful time. Hate to move on to Kona after this. Audrey & Alan were the best.

  We had a wonderful Christmas without presents - Our stay in this lovely place was the best present ever! Grandma (carol) first came to the Lagoon house in 1989, and with other family members has to returned several tmes. But this was the best! Grandaughter, Becca, which 2 1/2, laughed the whole times she was in the pool. All the adults enjoyed snorkeling here, and in adjoining pools. The vacationland tidepools offered coral pools as well. Most of the time we just relaxed here! Our gracious hosts provided a baby bed and play seat for our 6 month old, who just loved having so many family members to hold him. Mahalo! Thank you, We'll be Back!

  Great Swims in this giant Pond. We love sitting on the Lanai at night and watching the waves break beyond the pond. Really no place like this else where. This house is setup beautifully and in a very smart way. We are here from Florida on our Honeymoon and will carry these memories forth always. We had great Weather with sunny day after sunny day. Great Snorkel in the pond and many wonderdful side trips. Loved "Mr. Waddles" and his evening routine. Fantastic food from local sources. Will be back soon. Mahalo! Thank you for the flowers on the table they bloomed all week.

  We have spent a spectacular week here. This is the best place to vacation in Kapoho, & we have stayed in this area more than 10 times. It is the ideal location with a very comfortable home. You cannot ask for better Hosts than the Yunis Family. Any request we made was promptly & cheerfully fullfilled. The resident Duck apparently had no name so we have chrsitened him as "Au-Kele" (Hawaiian for Swim & Glide) We liked watching him swim before sunrise. Be sure to try: *Dinner at Kaleo's in Pahoa *Swimming in the Warm Pond Down the Red Road *Snorkeling in the Kapoho TidePools *Buying Fresh Fish at Suisan Fish Market in Hilo. Much Aloha
