Affordable Luxury on Kaloli Point.

It’s an exciting time to come to the Big Island. The Kilauea Volcano has been erupting and putting on an incredible show.
The Eastside is the place to be for outdoor enthusiasts.

Kaloli Point is along the East coast just south of Hilo in one of the many microclimates 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 everything 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. This is a nonsmoking home.
Just 15-20 minutes away from the Kalapana Lava Viewing area.
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.

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.

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!

Great property for families that like to swim. Pool is amazing, house is well equipped for cooking. Very quiet area and a great base for exploring the Hilo side of the island. We stayed here 7 years ago and will hopefully stay again in the future.

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).
