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.
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.Thank you,
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.
We loved our time at Champagne Cove!! Our kids were out for Mardi Gras and it was a superior place to spend the time off. Beautiful!! The owner's influence in warm and fun. Good artwork in the home.
We had such a wonderful time and enjoyed the house that we are returning next year and will call the very helpful Tara to reserve our time.
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.
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.
We loved the house and location--a quite, private spot, yet close to most of the east coast attractions. The only issue we had was the lack of air conditioning. Most nights the house did cool off with the windows open and the ocean breeze.
The time we have spent in this "super" flat was one of the best holidays we have ever had. Everything was great and there was nothing we could complain of. The question "Was the property manger helpful?" has zero points because we haven't met him.
loved this place in every way
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. OVERALL.........A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO STAY! WE'LL BE BACK!
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.
