Map & Owner's Profile
Kapoho Joe's Beach House- Ocean Views, from $135./nt 2 People
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Kapoho
The Kapoho Bay is a beautiful turquoise blue color. Kapoho Beach Lots is a gated community which surrounds the bay and it offers a direct access to thermally heated Champagne Pond where we could swim and snorkel with the green sea turtles. It's also close to Pohoiki Bay where Art could surf his long board.
The Unique Benefits at this House
It's quiet and restful and very laid back. The nights are black and the stars are bright. There's no traffic noise, only the sound of the waves. It's close to awesome snorkeling in the Waiopae tidepools and only a few miles to the quaint village town of Pahoa. It's also only about 20 minutes to viewing the current lava flow.
Owner's Map of Kapoho
Art and Joanie bought their vacation home while visiting the island. They had always wanted to retire in Hawaii and this was the time to start that process. While traveling the coast of the east side of the Hawaii, they fell in love with the rural atmosphere, the beautiful tunnel of trees, the rugged coastline and laid-back people of Puna. We decided then and there to make this part of Hawaii our home.

Wonderful, relaxing, a home away from home - in paradise! From the moment we stepped through the door we felt welcome. Your home is beautifully decorated, comfortable and inviting. With so much to do within easy driving distance, we wish we'd planned more time to do it all again. Lots of special memories made. Beats 10 inches of snow in Nebraska! The tide pools were our favorite spot from the eel to sting ray! Thank you again for everything. - The Meyer Family

"What a perfect spot! We have become frequent visitors to the Kapoho area and wanted to share this trip with our famlies. Kapoho Joes made this experience magical. From the minute we arrived we were able to share the magic of this island with everyone. Eatings dinners on the deck under the tiki torches, listening to the ocean was all of our favorite time here. We did the Wai Opae tidepools two times and saw so many great fish and coral. We also spent hours in Champagne Pond swimming with the turtles. Our trek to the Volcano was a great adventure. We watched the red lava hit the sea after sunset and were in awe of Pele's creation. Thanks Joanie and Art for being such wonderful hosts. We all were touched by both of their fun playful personalities. Thanks for sharing your home in this way and letting us all experience paradise!. Aloha.

"We really enjoyed our stay at Kapoho Joes Beach House, The breeze was always blowing, Champagne Pond was great - we snorkled with 6 turtles. On our last full day we discovered the public tidepools. The snorkeling there was fantastic. We can't thank you enough for allowing us to rent your house." -Thanks again. Rodney and Deborah Belcher

"If you come to Hawaii for beauty and peace, stay here. If you like crowds, shopping, and partying, go to Kona. The "good 'ol days" are still here at Kapoho Joes." Randy and Kathy Holzer
