Kapoho, HI 96778 United States

view large image

One of the premier vacation homes in one of the Big Island's premier vacation spots, Champagne Cove at Kapoho Beach features 6 bedrooms on 2 floors, accommodating from 2 to 12 very lucky guests. The home is known for its huge private in-ground swimming pool, adjacent barbecue area, and garden surroundings, all for your exclusive use as a Champagne Cove guest. Famous Champagne Pond, a crystal-clear Pacific Ocean lagoon sheltered from the surf that provides incredible snorkeling and swimming, is only a 3-minute walk away.

See for yourself.

Groups of 6 or less rent the top main floor of Champagne Cove with the main living, dining and kitchen areas, a completely enclosed wraparound lanai with a panoramic ocean and pool view, 3 bedrooms with king, double and twin beds, and 1.5 baths. Groups of 7 or more also have use of the ground-floor portion of Champagne Cove called the Ohana with another living and dining area, kitchen, 3 more bedrooms with king, double and twin beds, and another 1.5 baths.

Groups of 6 or less may obtain access to the ground-floor Ohana for an additional fee. In addition, during portions of the year, a group of 6 or less can rent just the Ohana instead of the main floor at a special low rate (see the Champagne Cove Ohana listing for availability and details). Whether you rent the main floor, the Ohana, or both, your group has complete privacy; we do not rent the two floors to separate parties at the same time.

Champagne Cove is completely and comfortably furnished to supply all of your home-away-from-home needs. Cook in one of the beautiful kitchens while you gaze at the Pacific Ocean through the 30-plus palm trees. Outdoor dining with shade umbrellas for poolside lounging makes for an unforgettable stay. The outdoor charcoal barbecue faces the pool and is adjacent to the outdoor shower that is a must for everyone to try at least once. In the pool you can view the waterfall and the 12-foot mural of "Hilo Town" at the same time. Look for its artist "Arenzo" who is also the gardener and ask him about his work and his life; it is worth the wait.

You can see whales off-shore (in season) and sea turtles visit year 'round. Don't miss the 3-mile drive to the popular geothermally heated pond called Ahalanui (the "Hot Pond"). At night you can view the cruise ships passing in the night or enjoy one of the televisions. You are "connected" while at Champagne Cove through both hard-wired and wireless DSL connections. Champagne Cove has a local massage therapist "on call" and an on-site massage table for your use.

Nothing compares with the old Hawaii feeling in downtown Hilo and great kindness reflected by the neighbors and the natives of this lush area. Being only a few miles from Kalapana and being able to see the lava enter the ocean is another wonderful attraction. Champagne Cove is located less than a mile from the old town of Kapoho and the lighthouse on the point is a reminder of times gone by. The nearby picturesque town of Pahoa has an eclectic mix of shops and restaurants, some with live music and all filled with aloha.

Champagne Cove gets sunrises like you never imagined, and even though the sun sets on the other side of the island, the sky over Kapoho comes alive with spectacular colors! This is truly an awesome place. Kapoho is the warmest, sunniest spot on the windward side of the island. It often gets sun when it is raining in Hilo. Here you will experience beauty and tranquility with a rare taste of lovely "old Hawaii."

Year-round rate range is $115 - $525 per night, depending upon party size and dates of your visit. Cleaning fee ranges from $125 to $315 also depending upon party size.

Corey C from Kailua Kona, HI recommends this vacation rental

The house was clean and spacious, large enough to fit our large party. We loved having a pool and being so close to the champagne ponds.
With the property manager knowing that we were flying in to Kona and only staying about 30 hours, I think the property manager should have suggested to me a property closer to Kona airport.

I had no idea that the properyt was so far away from Hilo or that the property was so far from the Kona airport. The supposed queen sized beds are not queens they are full sized beds.
A wonderful and welcoming place. Clean and comfortable with great easterly views for sunrises. The pool is clean and deep and accessible. The pond is great for snorkeling.

We loved our stay. The pool is great, with lighting for nighttime use. And the fountain and outdoor shower were really nice extra features. Plenty of dishes and pots and pans and a gas stove. The shoreline is all lava, not sand, so sandals or water shoes are advised. Property is a 15 - 20 minute drive from nearest supermarket (in Pahoa) so good to stock up on the way there. I hope to re-visit in the future.

Our whole family (10 of us) had a wonderful time staying in Champagne Cove!! The pond was so exciting to swim and the pool an extra bonus. The location was perfect to explore the area...the volcanoes, more ponds, Lava Tree State Park, Hilo and Pahoa, tide pools ---everything was fun and exciting for the kids and older ones. We can't wait to return!!

Stacy F from Rosemount, MN recommends this vacation rental

This home was the best! My family and I could not have had a better stay anywhere on the Island. The pool and 90 degree hot spring was terrific. The weather in Hilo was rainy but our stay here was ALWAYS sunny. We received a great tan in just 10 days. Watching the sun rise was so beautiful. This house has everything you need included in the rental. All you need is to bring clothes which we really only wore 2 outfits the whole time. Went to Paholo for dinner at a mexican restaurant and also did our grocery shopping there. Saved LOTS of money by using the grill. We will be back in the future years. It was a vacation of a lifetime having the home was nice and very quiet. The neighborhood was also friendly and having the secluded gate made it nice to feel safe when we went for a walk in the dark. I Highly recommend this to everyone who wants to enjoy the Big Island. I also recommend the 45 min helicopter tour, it really taught us alot in regards to the Big Island.

a guest from Holualoa, HI recommends this vacation rental

1. Reservation staff could be a bit more pro-active when I am inquiring about upcoming future stays. The e-mail responses were very very "short".
2. A/C in one unit leaked water onto the floor.
3. A/C in back master bedroom was on a timer and didn't come on until around 5:00 p.m. This left the room extremely hot during the day as there was no air flow for this room.
3. This is the perfect home for a large family or a couple of families vacationing together. It provides more than adequate space, is very clean and the upstairs leather couches are luxurious. The very short walk to Champagne Cove makes it an all-around "winner".
4. The upgrades that the owners have made to the kitchens and floors are greatly appreciated.

Champagne cove is a well-laid out, well supplied property. We visited with kids and grandma, had a great time. Property is in need of some maintenance - doors not shutting properly, older mattresses, etc. Kitchen is up to date, laundry worked well, pool was very pleasant, living areas are pleasant with lots of personal touches.

a guest from Campbell River, BC recommends this vacation rental

We loved the house and the grounds of the house were fabulous. We also loved the early morning sunsets and the remote location. The view was beautiful. The snorkeling nearby was really the best on the island. However the one thing we found a little disheartening was the beach in front that people were driving on infront of us and staying overnight. The beach in front (not at all the property owners/managers fault) had garbage and broken beer glass everywhere. It appeared to be a local hangout. We did see vehicles parked all night long on the beach, some were also coming and going. It would be nice to know if there was a law against driving infront or of it was public property to do so. This property was really great overall, it was somewhere we would stay again.

Irmanetta B from Honoka'a, HI recommends this vacation rental

Thank you again for having us as guest in your beautiful home. Here are a few suggestions for future guest.: 1. Big bold letters BRING YOUR OWN CHARCOAL. 2. Pool needs to be cleaned better, a plastic pipe sticking up just below water line was dangerous 3. outdoor furniture needed attention, was brittle, cracked and torn umbrellas. 4. upstairs burns, the left back could not go off, so had to disconnect power all the time.
Hope this will help. But all in all, we really enjoyed out visit with so much beauty, peacefulness and charm. I would definately reccommend this home to all that I met. I would love to go back and stay some day..If God, wills.Thank you once again for your hard work .

  Thanks for alerting us to these maintenance items! We discovered that the pool pump got turned off during your stay, so rest assured it is clean and remains clean now. The owner is working on these other items as an oceanfront house sure takes a beating from the elements! Mahalo, Hawaii Holiday Management

WOW!!!! We took our son for his 18th birthday and graduation gift. We had the best time snorkeling and site seeing. To keep a young man happy is hard but at this house and location it wasn't hard. SURPRISE! 1 week wasn't long enough. Everyone in the community was friendly as well as Pahoa. I recommended this to all my friends at work, and facebook. I can't thank the owners enough for allowing us to stay at their beautiful home. I was paradise.

We had a wonderful time and would definitely stay here again. We were a group of nine friends, and the layout of the two units could not have been better. We had large dinners and bbq's poolside every night, and swam from sunup to sundown.
The only drawback to the place is that it is quite far from stores, so you really need to think about what you need when you go.

Hi,

We did enjoy our stay and the house was right next to the water.

I would like to point out that an AC would have been ideal. The living area would get too hot at times.

Also, there was no Tupper Ware or way to store any left over food.

Otherwise, we had a really great time and loved the pool.

Property condition and cleaning lower ratings were based on minor items like 1) some of the throw pillows on the beds and furniture were badly worn and needed repair or replacement, 2) the ceiling fans particularly upstairs needed cleaning. Overall this was a good property to stay at and I would recommend it to others.

With the property manager knowing that we were flying in to Kona and only staying about 30 hours, I think the property manager should have suggested to me a property closer to Kona airport.

A wonderful and welcoming place. Clean and comfortable with great easterly views for sunrises. The pool is clean and deep and accessible. The pond is great for snorkeling.
