With its sprawling lawns, private pond and multiple lanais, you'll fall in love with Hale Mahana!


Imagine floating languidly in a warm volcanic pond, gently caressed by waves of water. Feel the warmth of sun beams dancing on your body, inhale the sweet fragrance of tropical flowers, and feel the cool, gentle tradewinds as you relax on the lanai. Awake to the cooing of doves and watch moonbeams dance across the pond at night. You're at Hale Mahana (House of Rest) in Kapoho on the East side of the Big Island of Hawaii!

Take a video peek.

Hale Mahana is a multi-facetted building designed with the temperate Hawaiian weather in mind. There are two master suites, the upstairs has a Queen sized Select-Comfort bed, wet bar with sink, microwave and mini-fridge, flat screen TV, screened lanai and full en-suite bath. Both master bathrooms have jetted tubs, tiled floors and garden views. Each suite also has its own screened in lanai with a view of the Hale Mahana pond. The upper-level lanai also has a futon day bed for that 5th guest. From the lanais you can hear the ocean just a couple of blocks away. There is a third bathroom off the kitchen that boasts a large and artisic outdoor shower! The stained glass shows several Hawaiian fish, can you name them?

The kitchen is well equipped and with an outdoor charcoal grill as well, you can feast on local Hawaiian seafood and produce! There is room for dining al fresco under the stars or in the garden view dining room just off the kitchen. There is even a small flat screen TV in the kitchen so you don't miss a thing while you're cooking away! And if you're visiting in winter, you just may get chilly enough to turn on the small electric fireplace to warm your toes with your morning coffee or tea.

The tidepool ranges from 6 feet deep at low tide and up to 15 feet at high tide. The temperature varies from 88 degrees F at high-tide to 91 degrees at low tide, year round. This lagoon is one of the original natural tidepools in Kapoho and neighborhood legend has it that King Kamehameha III frequented these grounds and swam in this tidepool!

Kapoho is known for its great weather and the renowned Champagne Pond where you can swim with sea turtles and tropical fish, just two blocks from Hale Mahana. Pahoa Village is a 12 minute drive and has great restaurants, quaint shopping and even a public pool. Fly into the Hilo airport and you're an easy 45 minute drive to Kapoho or fly into Kailua-Kona about a 3-hour drive.

Year-round rate range is $225 - $295 per night, depending upon party size and dates of your visit. Cleaning fee ranges from $165 to $180, also depending upon party size.

    a guest from Tulsa, OK recommends this vacation rental

    We had a wonderful two week stay at this great home. It's location was perfect and provided the perfect blend of peace and quiet and locaal flavor and activities. Snorkeling in the cove right around the corner was a highlight for my family. Crystal clear water with hundreds of beautiful fish. We also snorkeled with bigger fish and sea turtles at the near by tidepools. The house was clean and well appointed. We used the volcanic tidal pool every day and our daughter were always finding something new to explore. We visited the volcano and lava tube at the national park for a fun day and explored Hilo but it was hard to beat the local waters and the champagne pond.

    My husband and I and my son and his girlfriend stayed for a week. We had a fantastic time. We enjoyed the outdoor living, the breezes, the pond, and the geckos! The home has everything you need for a relaxing stay. We highly recommend it.

    a guest from Rozet, Wyoming recommends this vacation rental

    From start to finish the entire rental process was very simple to complete. The property was exactly as described and shown in the photos. The residence was located on the Hilo side of the Big Island with everything that you need close by. The thermal tide pool on the property was amazing.
    The snorkeling spot by the ocean was just as warm as the tide pool with lots of fish, and we evan saw sea turtles there on several nights.
    This was a great place to stay for a week and had everything you needed. The house was clean and in great working order with no problems. This was my second time using this rental company on the Big Island and both times it has worked out perfictly. I will be using there services again in the future. Thank You

    Vickie F from kamuela, hi recommends this vacation rental

    We recently stayed at a vacation rental in Kapoho and really enjoyed ourselves there. The property is conveniently located to the ponds, the house had all of the amenities (we only brought food with us). There were only 2 drawbacks: 1) there are two separate pods for the house which is great if you are staying with 2 couples but not so great for kids so there wasn't a living room we could all hang together in; 2) the neighbor's property (might also be the homeowner, mind you) looked directly into the property and we felt like we were being watched - in fact, the neighbor even left a note in the "guest book" asking that we turn out the outside lights before retiring because they shine into their bedroom - a little creepy that this note was sitting in the guest book inside the rental. If you are visiting with 2 couples or with older children, this is a great place to stay. We were totally okay with our children being in a separate room but just sharing this for those folks that may be traveling with younger children as 1 bedroom is upstairs, 1 downstairs with outdoor entry to each. The personal pond on the property was pretty cool too. Oh yes, and the property management company was very efficient and professional to deal with.

    • Manager Responded on 1/25/2012

      Thank for your honest review. We agree the property would not work well for younger children and we do tell potential guests the aspects of the house that make that so. The neighbor next door is not the owner of the house, but is a friend. Being a small, close neighborhood with many residents and toursits alike, many of the neighbors in Kapoho watch out for thier friend's properties. Mahalo, Hawaii Holiday Management

    a guest from Venice, CA recommends this vacation rental

    Very nice stuff, private pond and location but needs maintenence- main outside lights up high and tv in kitchen don't work, cupboard needs tightening, etc. We called maintenence number but no call back and not sure how they could as handsets seemed disabled and no cell service. Would also be nice to have more than two (queen) beds for this large place. Nice kitchen so don't need kitchenettes in bedrooms.

    James W from Brookline, MA recommends this vacation rental

    This is a very unique house and we enjoyed our stay. Only problems were the downstairs bedroom TV didn't work and the place should have wifi. Also we had to go begging down the street to get matches for the BBQ. Two other things. You need new mattresses on both beds and there are a lot of light bulbs missing. Despite those negatives we enjoyed the thermal tide pool and the house overall.

    • Manager Responded on 3/5/2012

      Thank you for your review. As we were not aware of any of the problems you encountered during your stay, we were only able to fix them after your check-out. We always respond to maintenance requests right away and would have been happy to resolve these issues for you. There is wifi in the house (password located on the fridge), the tv remote just needed batteries and light bulbs have been refreshed! As for the mattresses, they are sleep number and we could have directed you how to adjust them. Next time, just give us a call! Mahalo, Hawaii Holiday Management
