IMAGINE FLOATING LANGUIDLY IN A WARM VOLCANIC POND, GENTLY CARESSED BY WAVES OF WATER. Feel the warmth of sun beams dancing on your body, inhale the sweet fragrance of tropical flowers, and feel the cool, gentle tradewinds as you relax on the lanai. Awake to the cooing of doves and watch moonbeams dance across the pond at night. You're at HALE MAHANA (HOUSE OF REST) IN KAPOHO on the East side of the Big Island of Hawaii!
Take a video peek.
HALE MAHANA is a multi-facetted building designed with the temperate Hawaiian weather in mind. There are two master suites, the each has a Queen size Select-Comfort bed with a 4" memory foam mattress topper, wet bar with sink, microwave and mini-fridge, flat screen TV, screened lanai and full en-suite bath. Both master bathrooms have jetted tubs, tiled floors and garden views. Each suite also has its own screened in lanai with a view of the Hale Mahana pond. The lower-level lanai also has a futon day bed for that 5th guest. From the lanais you can hear the ocean just a couple of blocks away. There is a third bathroom off the kitchen that boasts a large and artisic outdoor shower! The stained glass shows several Hawaiian fish, can you name them?
THE KITCHEN IS WELL EQUIPPED and with an outdoor gas grill as well, you can feast on local Hawaiian seafood and produce! There is room for dining al fresco under the stars or in the garden view dining room just off the kitchen. There is even a small flat screen TV in the kitchen so you don't miss a thing while you're cooking away! And if you're visiting in winter, you just may get chilly enough to turn on the small electric fireplace to warm your toes with your morning coffee or tea.
THE TIDEPOOL ranges from 6 feet deep at low tide and up to 15 feet at high tide. The temperature varies from 88 degrees F at high-tide to 91 degrees at low tide, year round. This lagoon is one of the original natural tidepools in Kapoho and neighborhood legend has it that King Kamehameha III frequented these grounds and swam in this tidepool!
KAPOHO is known for its great weather and the renowned Champagne Pond where you can swim with sea turtles and tropical fish, just two blocks from Hale Mahana. Pahoa Village is a 12 minute drive and has great restaurants, quaint shopping and even a public pool. Fly into the Hilo airport and you're an easy 45 minute drive to Kapoho or fly into Kailua-Kona about a 3-hour drive.
Year-round rate range is $165 - $295 per night, depending upon party size and dates of your visit. Cleaning fee ranges from $165 to $180, also depending upon party size.

Rating Details: I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was very happy with the location. The vacation rental was spotless. The property manager was adequately helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a very beautiful property, very well appointed, decorated and maintained. There was the lack of great room that other renters pointed out and we were prepared for, so it was outdoor living for us! Love all the decks. The only sour note in the whole place was that the bed linens and pillows were very poor quality. To the point were it made sleeping uncomfortable. Fix that and it is A-ONE all the way. Suggestion, you might sharpen the knives occasionally too. Please pass on to the owner just how beautiful we thought everything else was! Can't really rate the property management as we had no direct contact with them. Manager responded on 4/6/2013: Thanks for your review! We will definitely pass it along to the Owner for the suggested upgrades. Mahalo, Hawaii Holiday ManagementDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Rating Details: I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was very happy with the location. The vacation rental was spotless. The property manager was more than helpful. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the location of this house (kapoho is a gated community in a tropical zone by the ocean, with amazing lava flows and tide pools), and loved our private tide pool. The house itself, though clean, was awkward ... Leaving meant locking 5-7 doors, there was no indoor games/eating area if it was raining hard (which it does), and the only shower was outside all of the lockable doors. On the fixable side, the downstairs bed was saggy and is not an adjustable mattress like the one upstairs, there are no towel bars (and too few towels), and the kitchen cupboards desperately need knobs. The kitchen tv is connected to nowhere. We've rented a number of vacation homes, this is my first poor review. Loved the area, the geckos, the pool. Not the house. Manager responded on 2/25/2013: Thank you for your review. The house is designed with outdoor living in mind and when it rains, can be an awkward fit for multiple people. We're happy to say that the mattresses have both been upgraded as of 2/2013. We've also solved the mystery of the kitchen TV that does connect to a receiver in the downstairs bedroom. The lovely outdoor shower is not for everyone but we like it. Mahalo, Hawaii Holiday ManagementDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Rating Details: I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was more than happy with the location. The vacation rental was very clean. The property manager was more than helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is in two separate pods with the bedrooms also separate from each other by outside stairs. And no real living room area for a family to visit together but a lovely screened porch with a large table for meals, games, etc. The two screened lanais off the bedrooms were a wonderful addition for reading, watching the birds, or just enjoying the lovely setting. The only shower is outside (but attached to the house) and it is unique and very enjoyable! The large jacuzzi tubs were great. The home is very serene with a wonderful lava pond for swimming but it could use some pool work since it had a lot of debris when we were there. The Geckos were very numerous in the house but adorable! Just be aware... this is a natural setting not a Kona condo! Wonderful area with short walk to the Kapoho tide pools and short drive to the lava-heated public pool. Pahoa is a small and rather quaint town with lots of interesting characters but the choices of restaurants and shops is limited so again be aware that this is a rather isolated area of the island. We never did get the wifi to work for example. And you need to keep the windows and doors closed if there is not a screen on them since you will get some critters inside otherwise. Nice community with friendly neighbors. We found this rental both relaxing and yet challenging due to the need for going outside and upstairs so often but then i am 65 and have some spinal issues; the exercise was probably good for me! I LOVED THE LAVA POND AND THE LOVELY HAWAIIAN LANDSCAPING with the occasional night heron and mongoose dropping by for a visit. It was worth the drive and the challenge; it will be a very memorable vacation.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Rating Details: I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was very happy with the location. The vacation rental was spotless. The property manager was very helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our stay at Hale Mahana. The ocean is so close, you can ear the waves. This location was perfect and quiet. The pond is fabulous, we swam every day. Many other properties have ponds, but few are as nice as this one. We slept with all windows open, the constant breeze was so comfortable. We woke up with bird songs. It rained every nights and early mornings, but days were nice. We really appreciated to have the kitchen apart. This way my husband could get up at 5AM and do his own thing, without waking us up. One week was not enough. We should have booked two weeks at Hale Mahana and only one at Waikoloa... I would love to get back... Thank you for sharing this great place with us.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed all 28 days at Hale Mahana. It was clean and homey. It had everything we needed. There was a lot to do in and near Kapoho so we were happy with the location. We even enjoyed and miss all the sounds. The warm pond was perfect for our kids. It kept them entertained. It felt great in the pond when it was raining too. The gardener let us pick the pineapples and bananas on the property! Great neighbors! They came to check on us and brought us a lantern when the power went out. We hope to be back!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Rating Details: I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was very happy with the location. The vacation rental was spotless. The property manager was very helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our stay at Hale Mahana House. The house was beautiful and well equipped. Everything was in working order. It is only a very short walk to Champagne Pond which is great for snorkling. The private pond adjacent to the house was wonderful also. Loved the treehouse feel of Hale Mahana. It took a little to get used to the unusual layout of the house, but we quickly adapted. We stayed in the upper bedroom and our kids stayed in the lower bedroom.... which wasn't an issue as they are older. This was our second visit to the area and our first time to stay at Hale Mahana. We would love to stay there again on a future visit. We loved the sights and sounds of all of the local wildlife.... especially the geckos:) Thanks for opening up this lovely home to travelers like us. We will definitely recommend your company to anyone who is lucky enough to come your way. Mahalo.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Rating Details: I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was very happy with the location. The vacation rental was spotless. The property manager was very helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: From start to finish the entire rental process was very simple to complete. The property was exactly as described and shown in the photos. The residence was located on the Hilo side of the Big Island with everything that you need close by. The thermal tide pool on the property was amazing. The snorkeling spot by the ocean was just as warm as the tide pool with lots of fish, and we evan saw sea turtles there on several nights. This was a great place to stay for a week and had everything you needed. The house was clean and in great working order with no problems. This was my second time using this rental company on the Big Island and both times it has worked out perfictly. I will be using there services again in the future.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very nice stuff, private pond and location but needs maintenence- main outside lights up high and tv in kitchen don't work, cupboard needs tightening, etc. We called maintenence number but no call back and not sure how they could as handsets seemed disabled and no cell service. Would also be nice to have more than two (queen) beds for this large place. Nice kitchen so don't need kitchenettes in bedrooms.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0
