Our stay in Kalapana was everything we imagined it would be and more. The property was absolutely breathtaking and was nothing short of a dream in paradise. Every angle of this home was incredible. From the front door to the spectacular view out every window, we were in awe. My children ages 3-12 loved the property and the geckos. They spent hours in the hot tub as well. My in laws that are in their 70s loved the lanai and having breakfast and dinner outside listening to the ocean. My personal favorite, the shower! I loved having a view of the jungle and the ocean every morning in the shower. It was stunning!
The house is very much in the jungle. Be prepared for bugs, geckos and frogs (all night). We personally loved the nighttime lullaby of the frogs, but the hosts provided ear plugs if it is a bother. The bug situation was a little unnerving at night to my 12 year old daughter, but if you just close your eyes and pretend they aren’t there, you will be fine. I expected them, so it wasn’t a concern.
The home had absolutely everything that we needed for our stay and Kate was an incredible host. She greeted us at the property when we arrived and had fresh fruit for us. What a pleasant surprise. She provided recommendations for the area and made our stay a vacation we won’t soon forget. We will definitely return if we ever come to the island again.
