"We had a Big Time, Big Burgers, Big Sunshine and a very Big happiness to spend this wonderful time together. Big Island will remain as one of the most magical places ever visited! We don't want to go home!!!"

"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

"Wow! Snorkeling here was amazing! Jenny and I will never forget the sound of the ocean in the night and the moon and night sky. This was a honeymoon we've always dreamed of!" - L.P.

We had a wonderful time at Hexagon House. Loved the surf and the trades (no AC necessary with these breezes). Loved cookin' meals in the kitchen, lookin' at stars, exploring the area. Wild weather & coast. Thank you - we LOVED our 4 days!

The warmth and beauty out here is amazing. The tidal pools were great!! Some of the best snorkeling on the island. Champagne Pond under a full moon with sea turtles was one of the most memorable events of my life. Down the road at the green pond there was a really fun rope swing. Definitely check out Kehena black sand beach 9 miles south down 137 and the lava at Volcano National Park.

Enjoyed the scenery and peacefulness. Thanks to neighbors on left – gave us permission to use their swimming access. Enjoyed “snooping” around Kapoho area waters. Loved our meals on the decks and using BBQ grill. Great fruits & veggies from farmers market in Hilo Wed & Sat.

We stayed for a week at a resort in Kona. Your house was the cure. It is wonderful. Snorkeling at the tide pools was as good as any other place on the island. Live coral and brilliantly clear water. We even snorkeled in the bay in front of the house. Although less interesting, it was still lots of fun for a dip. Although our entire trip to Hawaii has been terrific, your house provided the first place we could really relax. We love it. Cute geckos, the breeze, 360 degree views, the purr of the waves, and the most vivid night stars we have ever seen all combined to evaporate tension. Thanks again!

My wife & I thank you for your wonderful Hex House. This is what the Big Island is all about. After 7 days in Kona, this place is just amazing – the plant material, the wind, the ocean. There is no doubt that Megan and I will always remember our honeymoon at Kapoho. Thanks and God bless

Aloha! As a resident of the Big Island for over 14 years, I just had to say that staying in Kapoho has been one of the most relaxing mini-vacations we’ve had. The house was clean, the beds were comfortable. We enjoyed snorkeling, hiking & watching the surfing at Pohoiki. Watching the sunrise instead of sunset on the ocean and no vog was a nice change from Kona side. The hexagon shape of the house was a lot of fun. I especially liked the upstairs loft. The view is one of the nicest things. Listening to the waves crash as the trade winds blow thru. People in the area were very friendly, and the lack of traffic was nice (try Kona at 5pm!!!!) We had a great time & plan to visit again. Aloha & Mahalo!

We really enjoyed staying here! It's like having a second honeymoon, except with a 17mo old baby and one on the way! Everything is so beautiful here! We explored a lot around here along with driving all over the island. One of the highlights was swimming with the turtles in Champagne Pond "WOW"! We hope to come back again - this is truly paradise and "The Real Hawaii" Many Thanks!
