Kapoho vacation rentals

One of the best places I have stayed. My Boyfriend said the same. It was absolutely beautiful and comfortable with lovely ocean views and hearing the waves from the bedrooms and entire unit. Brad and Susan were so friendly and welcoming. Brad helped me so much with determining what to do in our short stay with great insights and took lots of time to offer suggestions and knowledge of the Island. There was all we needed for coffee and snacks to tide us over. Everything was so thoughtful and it was obvious the amount of care he put into the property. It is 25-30 minutes to Hilo, but the drive was really not too bad and honestly quite worth it. There were so many things we didn't have time to do, so I plan on returning. Thank you Brad & Susan!

Saul's place is perfectly named - "Peace of Paradise!" Sitting on the huge lanai, listening to the waves crash against the shoreline beneath, taking in the sweeping views of Hilo Bay and the open ocean with the palm trees swaying in front of you and tropical birds singing sweetly around you, how can you feel anything other than peaceful and happy? This is a truly special place - so lovely and private and cozy. So many places that try to maximize views and have this many windows feel cold or exposed. Not Saul's! He has anticipated all the comforts and conveniences. The warmth of the wooden furnishings and floors, the abundance of comfortable furniture, the covered roof over the lanai, and all the amenities you could want in kitchen and bathroom made us feel very well cared for and we promised ourselves we will return as soon as possible :)

We had an amazing time! The home allowed for a beautiful and peaceful getaway for our family of five with young kiddos.

An absolutley beautiful neighborhood and studio! Listening to the ocean put is to sleep each night and we loved having coffee on the deck each morning. I would highly recommend. It was exactly as pictured. The bed was very comfortable, linens were premium and every convenience was provided including air conditioning. When i come back next year i will definately book again!

Everything needed for a comfortable stay was included! Kitchen supplies were great! Having a small cooler that we could pack and take with us on day trips was wonderful! Bathroom shower was heavenly, and the bathroom was fully stocked. Patio felt very private. We enjoyed coffee out there every morning. The bed was very comfortable and the decor was simple, pleasing, and relaxing.

We had an amazing stay at this truly unique home! Built in Bali and shipped to Hawaii, the house is a masterpiece of wood craftsmanship, blending traditional Balinese architecture with the natural beauty of its surroundings. The intricate open-air design, and thoughtfully curated details made it feel like a tropical retreat unlike any other. The atmosphere was both peaceful and inspiring, with plenty of space to relax and take in the stunning private environment. Everything was well-maintained, and the hosts were welcoming and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind experience with cultural charm, this is the place to be. We would absolutely love to return!

Beautiful place, looked just like the pictures! Peaceful and quiet, all the furnishings were beautiful and comfortable. They provided nice touches throughout to make you feel at home.

This is an extremely nice place to stay on Hawaii. Ocean view from both the living area and the covered patio. Quiet walkable neighborhood. Shopping is about 20 minutes away in Pahoa. The rental area is the entire ground floor. Large kitchen with everything you need. Two full baths and bedrooms.

Dara’s place was amazing! It was very comfortable, peaceful, beautifully surrounded with awesomely colored plants and fruit trees. There were a lot of amenities. The keurig coffee machine was a definite plus as you could enjoy your morning coffee inside looking out to the backyard or at the outdoor table and chairs at the front of the house. Her place was very clean and spacious for myself and my two friends. The living room couch and chair was very comfortable as well. Everything was well organized and not cluttered at all. Very easy to maintain. I’m grateful for the indoor washer and dryer as it allowed me to leave with clean clothes versus having a luggage full of dirty clothes. The ironing board and iron really came in handy as well to press the clothes I needed to wear for the event I was attending. I would highly recommended staying at Dara’s place again! 5 stars and then some for sure!

The Whale House was even better than advertised! The location was easy to find and so beautiful! We used this as our home away from home to explore Volcanoes National Park, Punalu’u Black sand beach, Volcano winery, and multiple waterfalls. Our family also enjoyed relaxing, reading, and napping on the lanai and in the hammock swings. The garden out back was a delight to explore. The lava cliffs were also very cool!! David & Chrystal provided everything we needed and more! The kitchen was well equipped- we made several meals. The cooler and beach equipment came in handy when we visited the black sand beach. The bikes were also a nice bonus. We really never wanted to leave and would love to come back soon!

Comfortable, clean, private. Enjoyed our 11 day stay. Highly recommend staying there.

***Excellent place*** my wife, two teenage daughters and I stayed here five nights while visiting family on the big island. Probably in my top five Airbnb‘s ever. Extremely comfortable beds, cold AC, perfect location, the lanai is amazing. Kitchen has everything you would need. Yes there is noise being on a busy street, which I was concerned about, being a light sleeper. But between a white noise maker app and earplugs, I slept amazingly well. We will be back!!🤙🏼

The home was beautiful and had plenty of space for my family of four. The AC was a huge plus. And the nature sounds were unbeatable! We walked to downtown Hilo lots and had good food nearby. Would definitely come back on our next stay in Hilo! Loved the local feel of this side of the island.

The pictures of this house do not do it justice. The entire property is incredibly lush and tropical, we felt like we were on our own private island. I could have stayed at the house for our entire trip and would have been happy!

This place was totally awesome! It was so beautiful and peaceful! We slept so well! The house was well stocked with everything you would need for a comfortable stay. Denise and Brian are the best hosts, making sure we had everything we need. Itineraries were provided so we were never bored. We will definitely be back for a stay in the beautiful rainforest on the Big Island! 🏝️

This was a great base for visiting Volcanoes NP, just an easy short drive to the park entrance which was exactly what we were looking for. The living space was bright and spacious and made our group of 6 feel right at home with ample space to spread out. We were surprised at the large swings in temperature even within the house so be prepared to dress warmly in the late evening and early mornings but the house also had plenty of extra blankets and heaters to help.

This was our second stay at the Sugar Shack and we would come back again and again! The home and its surroundings are so peaceful and serene. We love everything about it and it has everything we need including small kitchen appliances, cutlery, plates, linens, pillows, towels, beach supplies, games, you really don't need to bring anything other than your suitcase! The location is definitely off the beaten path, so if you're looking to disconnect, this this the place for you (although there is Wi-Fi at the house). There is a small black sand beach super close by that is perfect and several grocery stores and restaurants just a short car ride away. Although we would love to keep this place as our secret, just book it, you won't be disappointed!

Our family enjoyed our stay. It was like sleeping in a treehouse! Ocean views, beautiful sunrises, frogs singing at night, and so many stars. We had everything we needed and the hosts were very helpful with local tips. It was a magical stay!

We absolutely loved the house, Kat was fantastic to communicate, we would stay again.

Terrific value, great location (easy 5 minute walk to now almoust famous Sunday drum circle) and a lanai with a view of the Big Blue ocean. You can nowadays find luxe places in the area with lovely gardens and designer soaps and Ka’u coffee to greet you, but you’ll pay more if that’s what you need. I’ve done them all, but keep returning to Dawana and Andy’s for my extended stays. The area is “off the beaten path” so exploring the island means a lot of long drives. However if you simply enjoy being where you are, you’ve hit the value jackpot. I am certain to be back!

We loved Susan's place! It was very peaceful and quiet. It was the perfect way to end our evening from shopping all the craft fairs for Merrie Monarch. The place was very clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. Thank you Susan for being such an awesome host and making our check-in a breeze. We'll be back for sure!

Cute, homey and great location just outside Hilo. Betty was very responsive and helpful.

Incredible one week in paradise. The house, surroundings, the walk to the black sand beach, everything was just a breathtaking. The area and tropical rainforest reminded us of Kauai island. Mango tree on premises was a great bonus. Thank you for the great week. Would recommend to everyone Mahalo

This place was absolutely perfect! The location is so beautiful to walk around, with so many things to do within a short walk or drive. The house is so cute, open floor plan, clean, colorful, indoor and outdoor bathroom, kitty visitors, beautiful patio; it gives everything vacation vibes while also feeling right at home. Side host Isabel was incredibly friendly and helpful keeping us up to date with things to do and answering any question we had about our stay and the local area. Leaving the place was by far the hardest part. We had such an incredible time and will definitely be coming back to this house again.
