  • Looking at Hula Cove from the crystal clear tide pools of the Waiopae Marine Conservation Area. This is called location, location, location!
  • Enjoy the sunrises from your private deck as you look out over the lagoon to the open ocean.
  • The owners of Hula Cove have made good use of the living space with lots of sitting areas to enjoy the view or the flat-screen TV and DVD player.
  • Hula Cove has a simple galley kitchen, but it is fully equipped for a comfortable stay.
  • Hula Cove is small, but the atmosphere and views are huge. You can almost roll out of bed and start paddling away!
  • Hula Cove may be a vintage beach house, but the owners have provided many modern conveniences including high-speed Internet. It sleeps 3 with a queen bed and a sofabed.
  • The charming bathroom at Hula Cove.
  • Few people get to experience being right on the tide pools of Kapoho; guests at Hula Cove are the lucky exceptions!
  • You will appreciate the private parking and space behind the bamboo gate, especially when you see the cars lined up a few blocks away. Have fun!
Looking at Hula Cove from the crystal clear tide pools of the Waiopae Marine Conservation Area. This is called location, location, location!

Hula Cove is one of those sweet old cottages built many years ago specifically as a beach house. It has the true vintage feel of a simpler time with the modern amenities of today. Hula Cove has a large living/bedroom area, kitchen, and full bath with shower. A broad outdoor lanai across the entire front of the house practically sits right on top of the sparkling clear tide pools.

Wake up to that fabulous view of the famous Waiopae ponds! Hula Cove is the last house at the end of the tide pools that attract visitors to this area. Down the road others are parking their cars after their drive to Kapoho, hauling their snorkel gear over the lava, and figuring out where to leave their things while they go in the water. All you have to do is roll out of bed and wade in! You simply walk down the nice cement steps that gently lead you into the warm water. Rent a kayak and really explore the area!

A short video gives you a brief feel for the beauty

Location, location, location and at an affordable price! Because Hula Cove is a small cottage with a queen bed, you can enjoy a waterfront property without paying oceanfront rates.

Hula Cove isn't fancy, but it's fun! When you're not snorkeling or swimming, the owners have provided a nice flat-screen satellite TV and high-speed Internet access for your laptop. Hula Cove has a galley kitchen and the cottage is located behind a private gate on a fairly large lot.

Year-round rate range is $135 - $185 per night, depending upon length of your stay and dates of your visit. Cleaning fee is $75

    Ariana P from Oakland, CA recommends this vacation rental

    Everything was perfect except for the rain, but even that was tolerable in the lovely hula cove. My husband and I and our three year old enjoyed a fabulous three days at the must stay hula cove. Best snorkeling ever, and I 've done a bunch, beautiful space, kitchen with all your needs, and extra bonuses like snorkeling gear and beach towels.

    arlene g from Glen Ellyn, IL recommends this vacation rental

    I loved the property and it exceeded my expectations. The minute I opened the door I fell in love with this hidden gem. The location on the tidepools allowed me to just jump in for a swim any time I wanted to cool off. The waters were calm and the snorkeling was great. Got to watch the fish right off the back deck. Everything a renter could ask for was provided. The place was immaculate. I rode down the road to the night time lava viewing area which turned out to be a true once in a lifetime experience. I thank the owners for making this rental available.

    This is a real getaway and great for snorkeling in the winter on the Hilo side of the island. While the public has also found the tide pools spectacular, it is still the most private you will likely get in Hawaii! We really enjoyed our stay and found all very comfortable and clean.

    We had the best time at Hula Cove. It is a snorkel paradise! You do not even need to get in the water to see all the beautiful fish that is right in your backyard! We even saw an Octopus and an eel one morning as we were looking down into the water. Hula Cove was also a nice central location to explore that side of the Big Island.

    Our second booking of this property. It is a great location on the "wet" side of the island, excellent if you want to rest and snorkle, really experience genuine Hawaii. Close to Volcanoes National Park and the lava viewing area, not a bad drive to the green sand beach/south point...but a pretty long drive to Kona. I am sure we will be back.

    This beach house is so charming and the location is fantastic if you are a nature lover who likes to get in the water and check out the wildlife! The house is tucked away in a sweet little cove right on the water- so keep in mind the locals and other vacationers also find this cove appealing and you may be sharing the space with beach-going families, young kids included, and some groups with radios. Depending on the timing you could have this cove almost to yourself, or be sharing it with a partying group. The Puna area is one of my favorite areas of the island with its lush vegetation, relative remoteness from masses of people, and the snorkeling. Keep in mind this is not a sandy beach area at all- it is all lava rock so if you are looking for sand, this is not the place.

    Linda C from Meridian, ID recommends this vacation rental

    Hula Cove felt like home immediately! We were so sad to leave and are already talking about going back. The cottage had everything we needed including bikes and snorkeling gear (and a full size washer and dryer!). The cottage is private yet feels very safe and secure. We loved the off-street parking. Vistors sharing our tide pool were all very well-behaved. Snorkeling was a dream but all you have to do is look over the railing to see lots of beautiful tropical fish! Fell asleep to the sounds of breakers, birds and frogs and have never slept so well! Took day trips all over the island but next time think we will just fly into Hilo, rent a car, stock up on groceries and "hang loose" on the deck until it's time to leave! "Mahalo" for our wonderful stay!

    Our secnd time here, was even a greater experience this time. Met Frank (local professional snorkeling guide)who escorted us out through the various pools out to near the breaking surf where the greatest wonders of coral, fish, turtles and sea urchins were observed. Coupled with great dining prepared from various fresh fish purchased at the fish market in Hilo and local fruit from the open market,our stay was truly paradise.

    Loved the location. Felt right at home. The cozy feeling of being at the end of cove with the exception of the weekend visitors.

    a guest from Westville, Ok recommends this vacation rental

    We rented this property with the hopes that it would be off the beaten path and in the middle of nowhere. It was exactly that. We were about 30 minutes from groceries and supplies in Pahoa. We loved the snorkling right out the back door. Everthing was super clean although we never saw any people that maintained the property until the day we were leaving. I beleive they had been on vacation themselves. This property is very nice if you plan on seeing the volcano, snorkling and hiking. We also drove to Hawi and did a zipline with Eco Tours. We went on a helicopter tour with Blue Hawaiian. Everything was within driving distance even when we went to Kona (about a 2 1/2 hour drive). We loved this property and it's secluded feel. We enjoyed everything that was offered and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to get away to a place that is out of the way of the rush of things. The guest book that everyone contributes to was one of our favorite things. If you go to this property you will never forget it as it allows you to relax in a way you never thought possible.

    I stayed alone in the house, for one week at the end of May 2009, and I loved it. I came for some appointments in the Puna area, and also had to work. While the house is tiny and really only for couples or single travellers, it is perfect and seems like heaven. I got there late at night in pouring rain, and did not see anything of the property or area. I was stunned the next morning when I saw where I was! You literally fall out of bed and can walk into your "own" little pool, that is connected to the open ocean, after some swimming around the rocks. From the deck behind the house, you can see and hear the ocean which I really appreciated. I especially liked falling asleep with the sound of the ocean. I will certainly come back.

    Richard R from Victoria, BC recommends this vacation rental

    The property was delightful, very quiet and private as we wished, very well maintained, and better provided with everyting, from rice cooker to washer and dryer to sun lotion, than any property I have ever rented! Location was as described. It was wonderful to slip off the lanai right into a tidal pool full of tame tropical fish! we will certainly return to this place in future

    The house is very well provided, particularly the kitchen. Situation private and quiet, which was just what we wanted. And you cannot beat being right on the water!! Snorkelling was first class. We even saw a sea turtle.
    We plan to return next year.

    From the first moment you arrive till the hour you depart, Hula Cove is all and everything you could want if snorkeling and a true Hawaiian experience is what you desire.

    I got in late, but lights and music were on for a warm welcome. Had no problem finding Hula Cove in the dark. Clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed. 12 steps from the back step to into the water for snorkeling (your mileage may vary). I was visiting alone, and with just common sense, I felt safe on the property and my belongings secure while out in the water. This place is a treasure. I will be back.

    a guest from San Francisco, CA recommends this vacation rental

    The house was very nice and it's in a beautiful location. Some reviewers complained about the noisy frogs, but I thought they were great. I slept great.
    The only negative thing I have to say is that there were quite a few bugs in the place when we arrived. My wife wasn't pleased. After I killed them all the first night, there wasn't any problem. Possibly someone had left a door or window opened before we arrived?
    We will definitely consider returning.

    Hula Cove is definitely one of God's most beautiful creations. My husband & I were looking for a place to try our hand at snorkeling, go sightseeing, and spend time relaxing by the ocean. The different varieties of fish were amazing, the sound of the surf and the various night calls of the birds & frogs was peaceful. This was definitely a piece of paradise. Teri, the housekeeper, did a wonderful job at having the place ready for our stay & made us feel at home. We had such a wonderful time & hope to go back to Hula Cove again in the future. We would highly recommend Hula Cove to anyone who is fortunate enough to make a trip to the Big Island.

    I loved the house. It was beyond all of my expectations. But, the location is by far the best part of this property. I loved the tide pools. They have tons of fish and it's just a relaxing place to stay. The home also provided you with more items than I expected. Flashlights, ponchos, washer and dryer, snorkel gear and much more. Loved riding the bikes around too. This was a trip for my mother and I. But this location would be great for any small family or honeymoon. I am so happy we chose Hula Cove!!!

    a guest from Seattle, WA recommends this vacation rental

    Hula Cove was a great place to stay. My favorite things were:
    -the proximity to the tidepool, I could just sit on the lanai and watch the fish swimming.
    -a well-appointed kitchen, including a coffee machine and grinder
    -washer and dryer - having those was just awesome

    only thing negative about the location was it took a little while to get back out to the highway to explore other parts of the island, but it's worth it to be on the water. And some of the kitchen stuff was a little worse for the wear, particularly the knives.

    We stayed for 3 nights at Hula Cove and we couldn't have been happier. The location is to die for! The place is totally cute. We never even left! I really appreciated that the property managers left the kitchen stocked!!It is so nice not to have to worry about stuff like condiments and sugar when you travel. It is a perfect spot for a couple to come and relax! This was the nicest place we've stayed on this side of the island so far.

    Amy S from Home, WA recommends this vacation rental

    This property has even more amenities than listed - it is a perfect spot for a couple to stay and noticed it could even accommodate a couple of small children too (extra bedding and cushions, could seat 4 at the outdoor table, SUPER mellow and safe swimming right in eyeshot of the lanai.) Only thing to know is that a public access 'trail' ends right at this property and its seemingly private tide pool, so expect a few locals and visitors throughout the day (until 7pm.) We had no problems with this, but some previous guests mentioned it in the guest book. Never saw or heard a neighbor, so we felt like we had the spot to ourselves aside from an a=occasional drop in snorkeler. Already planning our next visit - trying to stay for 4 days next time!

    We had a great time and we will be back next year. A few suggestions:

    The out building were the dryer/washer is very dirty especially with animal feces everywhere.
    A floor fan to circulate hot air in the house.

    However again we had a wonderful time and we will reserve the Hula Cove house for next year.

    Aloha

    Tracey T from Stanwood, WA recommends this vacation rental

    We found the cottage to be such a nice place to come "home" to after our daily excursions. We also enjoyed just relaxing on the lanai and snorkeling steps from the back door. The water was amazingly clear and the fish very plentiful. We even enjoyed the chorus of the frogs every night. We were pleasantly surprised to find the cottage overstocked with lots of extra items left by previous guests for everyone to share - sunscreen, condiments, teas, coffee, rice, etc. This was the first time we have ever rented our own private place and it was a great experience!

    Linda M from Lake Oswego, OR recommends this vacation rental

    This home is quite cute, comfortable and well-equipped. Being able to look down on the water from the lanai and see all the fish was delightful. Also, we loved finding the bikes for us to use. Future guests should be aware, though, that this is not a "secluded" spot. A trail from the street opens out just to the right of the cottage, and it is frequently used by people who spread out along the rocks on the opposite side and swim in the pools in front of the property. There was some noise associated with this use, and we also experienced two rather noisy groups in the house alongside--numerous young people one day/night and a group of children another afternoon. Although well-screened with foliage, that house is fairly close by. Also, be prepared for lots of frog noise at night.
    Aside from that, we had fun staying here and would come back again. It's an interesting part of the Big Island and there wasn't any VOG.

    Lost in Paridise, a wonderful spot to get away from the madening crowds of tourists that flock to the Resort side of the Island of Hawai'i. A quiet comfortable hawaiian holiday cabin tucked away at the end of a tide pool that offers hours of relaxation and that laid back feeling of lost in another year/another place. We were fortunate with mother nature and only had rain for 3 hours during one night that brought out the geckos and frogs to serenade for the rest of the night. Wonderful simply wonderful.
