The listing description was mostly accurate. Unfortunately, direct t.v. was out while we were there. Also, the description was decieving when it mentioned bikes were available. We were unable to use the rusted bikes. Although the property was clean, there were so many bugs inside it was hard to relax. Maybe that is normal for being in such a tropical paradise. Great customer service! I would recommend the area to a friend. We loved the town of Pahoa, snorkeling in the warm ponds, and the ocean views were spectacular.
Owner response:Aloha and thank you for your review! Unfortunately, the satellite TV box was broken and was on order - that has now been received and is hooked up and working just fine! Because of the salty air, bicycles rust very quickly here, so we are no longer making them available. There is a bicycle rental shop in Hilo however. This is a tropical environment and yes, we do have bugs sometimes! The owner does have a pest control service maintaining the property. ' The Management

We've spent 12 amazing days at the Hexagon house. It was our first time on the Big Island. First of all I am very happy we decided for the East Coast instead of the West one. Not so touristic, here you can go away from it all for real. If you decide to go there make sure you read Hawaii The Big Island Revealed: The Ultimate Guidebook, it's on the shelf next to the door. It is one of the best guides ever. Rent a 4WD and drive around the island, there's plenty to see and do! The house looks than in the pics on this site! We'd love to go back again!! Mahalo to Joanie!

This place is known as the hexagon house and has quite a history. It is older but it's lots of fun and has everything you need for a great stay. You can't ask for a nicer area. It's a gated community with friendly neighbors. You are within a mile of two incredible snorkeling sites, the tide pools and the Champagne Pond: Volcanically-heated water, sea turtles, crystal clear water, beautiful fish, colorful coral - WOW!. A few more miles west down the coast is the public hot pond, a very large volcanically-heated swimming area. Then keep on going west along the coast and you see beautiful rain forests with tree-covered roads, black sand beaches, ending at a recent lava flow from Kilauea (there's a great place to grab a burger there too). The little town of Kapoho is about 7 miles away where you find great restaurants, with fine dining for a very reasonable price. We loved Kaleo's (American), Paulo's Bistro (Italian - our favorite, incredible food and delightful personal service!), and Ning's (Thai). Here you can really relax, get away and have a wonderful Hawaiian experience that even some people living on the Big Island don't know exist. Last comment. Be sure to read the stories of everyone who has stayed at the hexagon house. What great times people have had here over the years.
Owner response:Joe: We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay at the Kapoho Beach Hideaway (Hexagon House). Please come back again! The Management

"We loved our stay at the Hex house, esp. the ocean breeze, beautiful view, and quiet neighborhood at night. It's far from the traffic in Hilo and Kona. Wife is a former Hilo girl, so we have been to the Island a number of times, but this was a unique experience. Swam with a sea turtle! No need for AC - ocean breeze is free and environmentally clean." - Jan and Naomi Nelson

Aloha! We had a wonderful stay at your home! Tracy (hubby) swam daily with the turtles and tropical fish while mommy & baby watched... We all enjoyed listening to the sound of the thundering waves. At night when it was clear, we lied out on the lanai and took in the stars - some shooting stars were seen too. Other guests: try Luquin's in Pahoa for breakfast - the Ahi & eggs is fabulous.

The Hexagon House is "fab"! We love the cool breezes and wonderful sounds of the surf. We checked out suggested spots from visitor's book - which helped a lot! Your neighbors are wonderful. We will be back. Thank you...

We had a great time at the Hex House. We were greeted by Gwenet who gave us the low-down on the area and got us pointed in the right direction. Your binder/guide book and "The Big Island Revealed" were great resources. The kids enjoyed snorkeling at Champagne Pond and Kapoho Tide Pools. Volcano Nat'l Park also provided interesting sights. We took a helicopter tour over the volcano, which was great. The trade winds provide for good sleeping conditions - we were originally concerned about no A/C but it worked out great.
