HIBISCUS HOUSE is a beautiful, garden paradise in sunny Kapoho!
The 3/4 acre grounds include towering coconut palms, bananas, African Tulip Trees, mangoes, Norfolk Pines, and plumeria. There is a lovely, relaxing tidal pond in the front yard to cool you on those warm Hawaiian days!
This home (upper unit) boasts a spacious wrap-around covered lanai from which to enjoy the garden views and barbeque. There are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a dining area and large living room with vaulted ceilings. The master bedroom has a King-sized bed with master bathroom. The other 2 bedrooms have queen size beds. A second bathroom is off the hall. With ample sized common areas and all the amenities for gourmet cooking, the home is suited either for entertaining or for a quiet romantic getaway. Watch the large screen HD satellite TV, or DVD movies. Fall asleep to the sound of the ocean waves or relax on the lanai after a day of snorkeling, swimming with turtles or dolphins or lava viewing.
The home is a 3 minute walk from the Kapoho Tidepools: a beautiful, protected coral reef which has the best snorkeling, skin diving, and swimming in the area. The reef protects swimmers from big waves and creates safe swimming even for young children and holds beautiful schools of tropical fish and colorful coral. A snorkeler's paradise!
Sunny Kapoho retains the ambience of "Old Hawaii". Situated on the eastern coast of the Big Island, away from major tourist development, Kapoho still holds the serenity and unmarred beauty of an island paradise.
There are numerous day-trip adventures to the Hot Ponds, Kileaua Volcano, Hilo town, Akaka Falls, botanical gardens, farmer's markets and delightful restaurants. Or you can just kick back and escape to the paradise and tranquility that is Hawaii.
For a family reunion or large group, you can rent the downstairs as well for a total of six bedrooms and four bathrooms. As us about discounted rates for the whole house. And KIDS STAY FREE!
