About this property

https://travel.hawaii.gov/#/
It’s an exciting time to come to the Big Island. The National Park is open again and we have new black sand beaches along the coast! The home is great for a family getaway or Flexcation. Desk area to work from.

Kaloli Point is along the East coast just south of Hilo in one of the many micro climates here. We are the “sunny “ area on the East Side. Blessed with ( cool trade winds and sunshine.
What sets us apart from the rest? I am a local resident of the Big Island. I live just down the street. I will be here to take care of anything you need.
Our home is the perfect spot to relax after a day of sightseeing. Our beautiful 3 bedroom 2 bath home has every thing you need in your home away from home. Granite counters and teak cabinets and an open layout make it a retreat to rest after a long day sightseeing. The backyard is surrounded by an Ohia forest, creating a place of serenity and privacy while cooling off in the in- ground pool. In the evening light up a fire in the outdoor fire pit and enjoy roasting marshmallows while gazing at the stars.
The home is located just 2 blocks from the ocean, where you can walk along the cliffs and trails. In the winter whale watching on the cliffs is a popular local past time.
The nearby historic towns of Kea`au and Pahoa both have restaurants, grocery stores and farmers markets.
The open layout and design of the home makes it accessible for wheel chair guests.”
. The master suite opens out in onto the lanai surrounding the pool. It has a private bathroom and shower. The King size bed has a Vera Wang memory Foam Mattress. You''ll want to lounge in bed all day. The two additional bedrooms share a full bath, one bedroom has a queen size bed and the other a full size bed. Plenty of room to share with friends and family.

The home is perfect for romantic getaways, family vacations.
This home is NOT to be rented for parties, large gatherings, family reunions etc.. There is a maximum of 6 people including children allowed in the home unless otherwise arranged with me.

Please note Hawaii is in the tropics. We have bugs, geckos, and the Big Island has coqui frogs whose mating call can be heard at night.

lovely home to spread out with teens

It was great to take our city kids to a lovely home that feels nestled in a rainforest. Loved the pool, and the rooms were spacious and clean. Easy walking distance to a glorious sunrise spot on the cliffs. Very nice, would highly recommend this home for a stay.

Fantastic Home

This is one of the best rentals i have stayed in. The home was spacious and clean. The beds were comfortable. The pool was wonderful. It was a great central location for us to explore the east side of the island. I would absolutely stay here again!

Spacious home

Our stay was good, overall. The house is very spacious and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was very well equipped to make family meals. The pool was perfect in every way. When we arrived, there was hair on the bottom of the fridge and a spill of something red and pungent (chili dauce?) in one of the drawers. There was also a lot of debris in the back of the fridge. Also found a warm, but sealed Tillamok cheese stick on the floor. There was also a lots of dust on the knife block, so I wasn't too confident that it was well cleaned. I ended up cleaning the fridge, but the smell was persistent. There were plenty of fans to keep us comfortable. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. Things we did not like: the towels were so old/worn it felt like sandpaper on your skin. They definitely need to be replaced. The cleanliness was questionable-- we washed everything before we used it. And, the family room couch was so well used it was uncomfortable, so my family sat outside or in our rooms. Would we stay there again? Probably not for our family because it was far from activities, but it would be the perfect place for a quiet getaway for couples or families to relax. The property was gorgeous and my son loved the hiking trail close by.

A true 5-star accommodation

This property was perfect for our family! The house was clean, organized and well laid-out for us to enjoy full days at home or come back from a day of adventures and have all the equipment needed to make dinner and enjoy a restful evening by the pool, tv or with a board game. It was an absolute pleasure working with Maureen. Communication was clear, timely and just enough to make sure we had what we needed and know where to go if we didn't. The check-in/out and property instructions were easy to follow and not burdensome. If you're considering a vacation on the Hilo side of the Big Island and you're a couple or family that wants to be close to the shore with many outdoor adventures, in a home with a pool that's well laid out and properly appointed - this is the one for you. If your dates are available - snap them up, cause they'll go quick. We'll be back :0)

Paradise Park Gem

My wife and I and her two adult daughters stayed here for four nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. The property is just beautiful and well cared for as though the owners lived there. The house was large and more than enough for the four of us and the pool was really nice. It has everything we needed and more. It is secluded with privacy and in a great neighborhood. Less than half a mile north is the trailhead for Puna trail, in the top five for best hiking trails on the big island. It ends at Hae’na beach, a nice sandy beach where we saw 17 turtles sunning. A mile north on Beach road is a bluff where you can watch the sunrise. Kaleo’s is a great restaurant and bar 5.5 miles away. The owner had very clear instructions and communicated promptly. I highly recommend this house for a great vacation in the Hilo area and would stay here again. Five stars, thank you.

Wonderful stay

We really enjoyed our stay here. There were a few minor items when we checked in, but the host was able to get them resolved quickly. The location is great if you're spending time on the Hilo side of the island. The house comes stocked with pretty much everything you need for your stay. The kids loved the pool after some long days exploring. Would definitely look up this place again if we decided to stay on this side of the island again.

Affordable luxury is the right name for this beautiful property

First of all, the almost immediate responses from the owner, Maureen, were impressive. The few times we needed to communicate over 10 days, she responded very quickly when not immediately. Second, the photos do not do justice to the home and, most of all, the pool. That pool made out granddaughter’s vacation: clean, warm, bigger that you would think. The outside shower was a treat. For the few people who felt this was too far or isolated from Hilo, maybe you should look up a property on Apple Maps or Google Maps; it could not be any clearer. It was less than 30 minutes from downtown Hilo, and we loved the peace and quiet. This STR has changed how our family will select a place in the future. If we return to the Big Island, we will adjust dates just to rent this place again.

Beautiful quiet place

We loved our stay in this house, in a quiet neighborhood. There is a beach overlook (no water access) 0.7 miles down the road. The pool was clean and fairly warm. The layout of the house was great, lots of space, large kitchen, laundry room, 2 car garage, water toys… Groceries r a 10min drive, Hilo is 20 min away. We hope to come back again.

Paradise, heaven, call it what you will.

Pictures do not do this property justice. From the moment you walk through the front door, you feel relaxed. The home has a great set up with the main living open to the kitchen and dining which makes a great social space. The lanai and pool area are also a great area to gather. There could be a few more lounge chairs but the table has enough seating for 6. We spent the majority of our time outdoors. We have already talked about returning!

About the host

Hosted by Maureen Gapp

We have lived on the Big island for over 30 years and raised our family here.
We live just down the street and absolutely love this beautiful secluded area. Kaloli Point is an amazing place. Close enough to all the places to see but, far enough away to enjoy the serenity of the Big Island

Why they chose this property

The privacy is important as well as being in the 'sun belt'. This lot was so unique as it backed up to a beautiful forest of Ohia. The natural wall prevents any neighbors from being behind us, so the privacy is amazing.

What makes this property unique

Peace and tranquility. My favorite thing to do is to light a campfire and watch the stars. The area is mostly vacation homes and private homes so it's great to be able to walk or bike around without any traffic.
