Pualani is located in sunny Kapoho on the Easternmost tip of the Big Island of Hawaii, just 40 minutes south of Hilo. This tropical home features open-beamed ceilings and panoramic tropical and ocean views. You can see the lights from a passing cruise ship from the lanai at night. There's a full kitchen, generous living and dining area opening onto the lanai, a queen-bed bedroom and bath. For extra guests, the second bedroom has two double beds. And for your evenings, there's a Satellite TV/VCR, a nice stereo with CD and tape players, an assortment of video and audio tapes and CD's, and for those who would rather curl up with a book, there are lots to choose from.
Outside in a gazebo near the house is a full-featured spa for your relaxation and enjoyment!
The kitchen is fully equipped with a microwave, blender, coffee maker, range, fridge and all cooking and dining needs. This home is thoughtfully and tastefully appointed to make it feel like your very own home-in-Paradise.
Located in a quiet, ocean-front, gated community with easy accessibility to Kapoho Bay and the ocean itself, there are several calm lagoons for swimming and snorkeling. Some of the lagoons are even heated by geothermal fresh-water springs! A guide-map at the house will direct you to all the best spots. Champagne Pond is a scenic 15 minute walk from Pualani.

Kapoho is a beautiful, peaceful and quiet place that is perfect for those who want no part of "tourist Hawaii." It is a small, friendly community that's also the sunniest spot on the Windward side of the Big Island. The nights bring a little rain, and the days are generally sunny and bright. If you have already experienced "tourist Hawaii" and are ready for something different, you will appreciate this. If you would like a taste of what it would be like to live among the folks who spend their lives here, work here, play here and raise their families here, you might find this interesting. If you're into hiking, swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, exploring, or just being, you'll love it.

Guest Comment
"Aloha Pat! Received the security deposit check, thank you so much. We had a great time at the Pualani House and loved discovering the Hilo side of the island after 5 previous days on the lovely Kohala Coast. We had great weather for our whole trip although the sound of the rain on the Pualani rooftop at night was so soothing along with the crashing waves I almost hoped for more rain! On our last day, as we drove back to the Kona airport, there wasn't a cloud in the sky in Hilo. As we left we passed the floats getting ready for the Merry Monarch Parade and wished we stayed one more day to see it-- absolutely perfect weather. The frogs were a non-issue, not bad at all. We loved the whole "tree-house" feel of the place, and the beautiful wood floors and all the windows. Very rustic and tropical which is what we wanted. And the Wifi worked great! The beds were extremely comfortable and we loved the bikes, and the hot tub was perfect--not too chlorinated, very refreshing. The snorkeling at the Kapoho tide pools was incredible. The volcano was unbelievable. We have been to volcanoes in Costa Rica but they were nothing like Kilauea! Even though the lava has stopped flowing into the ocean the lava flow at Kalapana and the new Kaimu beach there was awesome. The Kalapana Village Cafe was delicious. We also enjoyed Kaleo's (our waitress was wonderful, originally from Berkeley, and great food), the coffee house in Pahoa, Itsu's in Hilo, Ken's House of Pancakes (great food!) and the steakhouse place in Kea'ua, can't remember the name. Also loved Richardson's Bay Beach (great waves!) and the Pana'ewa Rainforest Zoo. Everyone we met was so friendly and helpful. We cannot wait to go back to the Big island. We had a wonderful, incredible time! Thank you so much for opening your beautiful home to us! Mahalo, Elizabeth, Lance & Julianna Friis "
