The home is known for its huge private in-ground swimming pool, adjacent barbecue area, and garden surroundings, all for your exclusive use as a Champagne Cove guest. Famous Champagne Pond, a crystal-clear Pacific Ocean lagoon sheltered from the surf that provides incredible snorkeling and swimming, is only a 3-minute walk away.

Groups of 7 or more also have use of the ground-floor portion of Champagne Cove called the Ohana with another living and dining area, kitchen, 3 more bedrooms with king, queen and twin beds, and another 1.5 baths.
Groups of 6 or less may obtain access to the ground-floor Ohana for an additional fee. In addition, during portions of the year, a group of 6 or less can rent just the Ohana instead of the main floor at a special low rate (please contact us for availability and details). Whether you rent the main floor, the Ohana, or both, your group has complete privacy; We Do Not Rent the Two Floors to Separate Parties at the Same Time.
Free Massage Offer: For a limited time, reserve a 4-night stay and get a free 1-hour massage from our on-call massage therapist on the Champagne Cove massage table!
Each floor has a fully equipped kitchen, satellite TV with a DVD player, telephone with answering machine, and free high-speed Internet, both wired and wireless. You can see whales off-shore (in season) and sea turtles visit year ’round. Champagne Cove gets sunrises like you never imagined, and even though the sun sets on the other side of the island, the sky over Kapoho comes alive with spectacular colors! This is truly an awesome place. Kapoho is the warmest, sunniest spot on the windward side of the island. It often gets sun when it is raining in Hilo. Here you will experience beauty and tranquility with a rare taste of lovely “old Hawaii.”

Champagne Cove at Kapoho Beach — Book Now for Free Massage!
Year Purchased: 2002
Why the Owner Chose Kapoho
We choose Kapoho because we were told it is located in a "banana belt" on the Hilo side, which means we have sun often when it is raining in Hilo. We bought Champagne Cove because of the 180-degree oceanfront views and the huge swimming pool with the lava rock fountain that frames the Pacific Ocean.
Of course, the hot ponds with the large turtles and the ability to have a house where you can watch the cruise ships pass in the night through the palm trees was a huge draw.
Nothing compares with the old Hawaii feeling in downtown Hilo and great kindness reflected by the neighbors and the natives of this lush area. Being only a few miles from Kalapana and being able to see the lava enter the ocean is another wonderful attraction to the area. Our house is located less than a mile from the old town of Kapoho and the lighthouse on the point reminds us of times gone by.
We look forward to retiring to our dream home in a few years but for now paradise can be rented!
The Unique Benefits at this Exclusive Kapoho Estate Home
This beautiful 2-story home looks out at the ocean with 180-degree sweeping views of the Pacific. The ocean is complemented with a view that includes the 9-foot deep pool with two shallow areas for children. The outdoor barbecue faces the pool and is adjacent to the outdoor shower that is a must for everyone to try at least once.
In the pool you can view the waterfall and the 12-foot mural of “Hilo Town” at the same time. If your stay includes a Thursday look for our artist “Arenzo” who is also our gardener and ask him about his work and his life; it is worth the wait.
Cook in our beautiful kitchens while you gaze at the Pacific Ocean through our 30-plus palm trees. At night you can view the cruise ships passing in the night or enjoy some television in one of four locations in the house. You are “connected” while at Champagne Cove through both hard-wired and wireless DSL connections.
We have a local massage therapist “on call” and we have our own table for your use. Swim in Champagne Pond and enjoy ocean fishing or swimming just steps from our door.
Don’t miss the 2-mile drive to the public hot ponds and after dipping continue on your way to Kalapana for 5-o’clock walk to the lava flow. Remember to bring good shoes, a flashlight, some water and a camera. Bring a wee bit of cash and talk to the artists in their tents that line the parking lot on the way to the lava flow.
In the evening go to Pahoa town and stop at Kaleo’s for dinner. Many nights there is live music but every night there is great food and a wonderful bar and the warm air is filled with aloha.
Champagne Cove is your home base while you explore these and other wonders in Hawaii. You are in the real Hawaii now and we welcome you with Aloha to our home.
