Kapoho Heights -- a simply charming cottage with french doors on a large, very private lot.

Inside the gated oceanfront community and set up on the hill overlooking Kapoho is a charming two-bedroom vacation rental cottage on a large private lot with ocean views over lava rock. The owners have done a beautiful job refurbishing this house. You enter through French doors complete with glass knobs to find high ceilings and an open floor plan. The floors and kitchen countertops are richly tiled and almost all furnishings are new. This light and airy home will lull you into a relaxed state as you watch the waves crash up on shore in the distance.

The living area is a large open space with window seats and lots of windows to let in the light. The home has two bedrooms and one bath. One bedroom is on the main floor, the other is up a spiral staircase in the loft with views out to the ocean. Both bedrooms have queen beds. The large bath has a shower and there is a washer and dryer for your use. High-speed Internet service is provided for your convenience.

Kapoho Heights is tucked away in its own private space, but you are close to all the interesting snorkeling areas in Kapoho. This vacation rental has easy accessibility to Kapoho Bay and the ocean. Crystal-clear, geothermally heated tidal lagoons for swimming and snorkeling are within walking distance. The water is a mix of heated, fresh spring water and sea water, and the water temperature is usually a wonderfully comfortable 90 degrees.

A large outdoor lanai is perfect for watching the sunrise or for relaxing at the end of the day. The yard has many exotic tropical plants and some fruit trees. The house offers the most privacy of any Kapoho vacation rental we know about. If you want to experience Kapoho but want your own private space, this is the place!

Ahalanui, also known as the "Hot Pond," is a 10-minute drive. Ahalanui is a popular oceanfront county park where you can safely swim (it has a lifeguard), picnic, and enjoy the beauty of the Puna Coast. The little town of Pahoa with shops and restaurants is about 15 minutes away, and Hilo is a 40-minute drive.

Year-round rate range is $135 - $205 per night, depending upon party size and dates of your visit. Cleaning fee is $100

    Gail F from Fenton, MO recommends this vacation rental

    Wonderful place to spend a week of your life. The birds, frogs, and beautiful trees and plants/flowers are like a one of a kind experience. Having a hundred acres of lava in the back yard is something you will not soon forget. It's going to be very hard to explain to family and friends just how wonderful this place really is. I sit here and remember how peaceful the breeze and the perfect temperature is. It would be a very nice place to return to some day.

    wonderful views and breezes; a pretty garden; light-filled, comfortable interior - a really nice vacation home. there are several tidal pools nearby (one, the Champagne Pond, is within walking distance) that are good for swimming and snorkeling. The home and vacation experience are RECOMMENDED!

    Patricia B from Denver, NC recommends this vacation rental

    My husband and I recently stayed in this cottage in Kapoho Hgts. We loved this place, it was just the right size for us but could easily accomodate a family w/ children or multiple people traveling together. There was easy access to the Kapoho Tidal Pools - which was nice. We got up every more and walked along the shore. The beach here is mostly lava but does have some areas w/ black sand. The garden is lovely and the home has a nice deck or lanai. It was a very peaceful retreat. This is an ideal place for anyone wanting to get off the beaten track a bit (go off grid, I belive they say) and get away from the hotels and crowds. You feel like you are on your own island here - it was wonderful. The nearest town is Pahoa but Hilo is not far, many state parks in the area - Lava Tree and a Naturally warm hot pool maintained by the state. There were horse farms enroute so riding appeared to be readily available. We visited farmers markets in Hilo and shopped in the markets in Pahoa - for our groceries, although restaurants were close enough that you could go out for meals, although we chose to eat in several meals.
    The property had plenty of clean towels, was very neat and clean both inside and out. The closest neighbor was a very friendly and helpful in providing us addiitonal tips on things to see in the area and directions.
    We toured the Big Island this trip and stayed in Waikolo Village, in Keauhou Bay and here on this trip and the cottage location was by far the most peaceful and relaxing.

    Andrew L from Ottowa, ON recommends this vacation rental

    The house was beautiful and had everything that we could have asked for and more. Plenty of dishes and cookware, tastefully decorated and a short walk to champagne pond. We loved the open feel of the house and yard was cute. Sadly there was no access to the ocean from the property without a very difficult hike over sharp lava rock but it is a very short drive to the tide pools.

    I think that in a more warm season, we would have been a little dismayed at not having a working air conditioner but because of the cool breezes, it was unnecessary.

    The house was clean for the most part but the carpets should have been vacuumed. I noticed that there was no vacuum in the house so no surprise!

    We loved the little green geckos sharing the house with us.

    Very good property especially for 2 people. Like the layout. Tough to find location, would suggest that it be initially located during daylight hours. Has wi-fi that works perfectly although this feature was not listed. Lock box failed to work on departure.

    Great private getaway. You'll feel like a local in this well-designed, quaint cottage. It is far from amenities so make sure to stock up before you arrive. You'll not be disappointed.

    We had a great relaxing time. Wish we could have stayed longer. The only negative thing about the place ~ it had a bit of an ant problem.

    we had been told to expect rainy weather and were pleasantly surprised to have glorious weather..a bit of rain at night and sunny in the day..Kapoho Heights is an adventure to find but worth the trip... a perfect jumping off spot for hot pools, and volcano sightseeing... a few days on the quiet side round out the days spent in the sun and beaches of Kona... loved the sightseeing...and the fun of circumnavigating the Big Island... a beautiful home to enjoy for a few days
