The House of the Dancing Turtles is just awaiting your arrival to show off her splendor and beauty in the always sunny and warm Kapoho Beach Lots area of the east side of the Big Island. This gated community is highly sought after by vacation renters because of it's beautiful location, close proximity to the sights and sounds of the beautiful Pacific Ocean and for the incredibly private crystal clear, geothermally heated lagoon for your relaxing pleasure. You owe it to yourself to stay in this beautiful home! The large lagoon which is right at your doorstep and is fed underground by the Pacific, is heated to a warm 91 degrees year round. This hale is on one of the most private lots in this area, therefore swimming in the lagoon will leave you with the feeling of being in some far away land.
The hale is decorated in a fun Hawaiiana theme and offers privacy with it's separate ohana that allows for couples to have their own private living and sleeping space. The front house offers 2 full bedrooms, 2 baths and a full size kitchen. The ohana which is generous in size, has a 2 full size bedrooms, bath, and a small kitchen for your use. You'll have the main house for up to 4 people and the Ohana for up to 4 more, but either way, you'll have the entire property to yourself. No other guests will in the Ohana, even if you don't need it. It's your exclusive Paradise! Both living areas offer covered lanai's that look out onto the incredible lagoon.
Just a few minutes walk from the hale are several ocean accesses including the incredible crystal clear Champagne Pond which is where you will find honu (sea turtles) making their home. Just a 5 minute drive down the historic Old Red Road is the Ahalanui Warm Spring Park which is another geothermally heated swimming pond at the edge of the Pacific Ocean. Another 10 minute drive down the Red Road is the historic Kehena Black Sand Beach and don't miss old Pahoa town, just a short 10 mile drive from the hale where you will find the original boardwalks that date back to the late 1800's when this sleepy little town was king in the sugar plantation days. There is great dining in this little town with Italian, Thai, Chinese and Tex-Mex. Hilo town with all of it's historical points of interest, color and famous for it's friendly people is only about 35 minutes away and the ever changing Volcanoes National Park is about a 50 minute drive from Honu Hula House.

Well equipped house

This was a VERY comfortable house to stay in. Our family of 6 really enjoyed it here. We found this house to be especially well equipped in the kitchen and found snorkel supplies in the cupboard outside. The beds were comfortable and all had a good nights sleep. The house geckos were great and we have more than a few photographs of these colorful creatures. The people that handle the booking arrangements were professional and responsive. I will recommend this house to anyone.

Our stay at the Hono Hula House was wonderful! It is a great place for families. We really enjoyed the lagoon was wonderful for the kids to swim in. The adults also enjoyed it. The lagoon was so close to the house since it was in the yard, but down the steps enough that we could tell when the kids were trying to go down by themselves. The beach was well within walking distance. We really enjoyed it. It made our family vacation so much fun. We would definitely return.

Wedding Dream

At 50+ years we DID NOT want an extravagant over the top wedding. We wished to spend our money on a dream honeymoon/vacation instead. The Dancing Turtle House was the perfect location for a low key very small (7 people) wedding. We were married under the Gazebo in a very meaningful ceremony. Chery Pascual of Aloha Weddings drove 2 hours to marry us. The setting is fabulous. A warm pond to swim in and down the road a block or so a pond with turtles to swim with. The Wai Opae tide pools are easy snorkeling with beautiful fish and coral. A short trip to Vocanoes National park with a stop at the Volcano Winery and an Orchid farm. And, close location to Hilo are a high recommendation for this property. We would definitely stay here again. We had our wedding dinner at Cafe Pesto in Hilo and another dinner and lunch a Kaleo's in Pahoa. Both excellent restaurants. The pictures on this website did not do it justice.

We found paradise! House of Dancing Turtles and its surrounding area provided a fantastic experience. The wonderful house is comfortably decorated in Hawaiian motiff; kitchen well stocked, beds super comfortable, large deck (perfect for eating, reading, and napping), and gorgeous, private grounds. The private lagoon, beautiful from the photos, was way beyond our expectations with its crystal clear, WARM water and surrounded by the lush foliage. We just could not imagine how wonderful it would be to start and finish our days with floating in the large lagoon. It was a short walk to Champagne Pond for snorkeling, again in warm, clear water. There are other close by areas for snorkeling including the tide pools. The photos well represented the house, gardens, and lagoon. We took the ocean lava tour (lavaoceans.com) to watch the red lava entering the ocean. Spectacular!! It is not to be missed. Mark @ Island Paradise Vacation Rentals was very helpful with recommendations on activities in the area. We will return again with our children and grandchildren!
