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.

Amazing stay

Property was exactly as described and quite wonderful. Secluded with a rain forest feel and so peaceful. The pool was perfect and each day the kids were swimming right after breakfast before we headed out to see the sights. House had lots of room and we never felt crowded. We would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the Hilo area.

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.

Absolutely Perfect!

If I could give a hundred stars I would! We had an amazing stay and a big part of it was the house and beautiful pool. It has everything that you would want in a vacation rental and is completely private. It's absolutely beautiful. Also, it is located on a very quiet road with beautiful cliffs within a short bike ride. Bikes included! The host was so nice, responsive and helpful.

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.

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.

Happy New Year

The four of us enjoyed a week at Maureen and John's home, mahalo. It's in a great location for local exploring Hilo and Puna Districts, but we also made day trips to South Point and Hawi no problem. The home is beautiful and spacious, the kitchen has everything, and the pool and croquet set provided entertainment for our no drive days. Be sure to walk around the neighborhood, there are beautiful homes, the Beach Road cliffs, and lots of aloha.

Beautiful place. Exceeded expectations.

The lot and house setting was spetacular. The pool is larger than expected (and warm😊). The layout is great for families. The house has everything you need. Other reviews stated that it was far from Hilo and shopping for groceries. We felt that the location was PERFECT and allowed us to be close to many of the attractions on the Hilo side. If I return to “The Big Island” I would consider and attempt to reserve the home again.

Pleasant, private, and peaceful.

We've stayed here twice and hope to do so again - though it fills up early so we have missed a couple of opportunities. It is a lovely home with a delightful quiet and private back yard. The pool is nice too, though in February it's still a bit cool for frequent use. I love to sit on the lanai with a cup of coffee watching the birds exploring the back yard and occasionally dipping in the pool - they don't seem to have the same aversion to cold water that i do ; ^ ). The owner was particularly accommodating this time in helping with arrangements for us to celebrate a special occasion during the visit.

Everything you need for a private getaway!!!

My family LOVED it! The property is located in a nice neighborhood with big spacious private lots. Great location between Hilo and Volcano Park. The house had a perfect layout for a family to spend time together and moments apart. Everything needed in kitchen, laundry, etc and tons of books and games. The pool was one of the best feature - bigger and warmer than expected and clean. The kids never wanted to get out during the day and it was lovely in the evenings listening to the frogs. We made great family memories here!!! I would highly recommend this property. (Also, recommend in the area - Carlsmith Park for lagoon with turtles and Panaewa Rainforest Zoo which is free).

Relaxing place in paradise

We recently stayed at this property in August and loved it! This home literally had everything we needed to start our stay from the little things to the big things! We travelled long and far so by the time we arrived at the property we had not had a chance to go to the store but it ended up not being a problem. The property surrounding the home was just stunning, we felt like we were in our own jungle oasis. We all enjoyed the pool very much! There is no Ac in the house but we were comfortable enough with windows open and fans on to sleep. I'd love to return to this rental property for a few days of R and R. Love the area, love the neighborhood and love Hawaii!

Wonderful private island oasis

It was great to get away from the weather on the mainland and explore this beautiful island. The pool area was super private and well maintained, a nice covered lanai kept us dry when it rained. Once you use the outdoor shower, you will wonder why you don’t have one at home. Spacious and well equipped kitchen and a nicely organized home information book was well appreciated. Beds were comfortable with high quality sheets and pillows. The garage with remote opener and driveway gate were welcomed luxuries. The only minor complaint we could think of is some of the furniture is starting to show its age.

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.
