Exceeded my Expectations A guest from San Marcos, CA recommends this property. Stayed for 12 days in May, 2013 Our stay in Kalapana was amazing! We loved everything about the house and the community and would recommend it without hesitation. |

Lovely Home Away From Home A guest from Honolulu, HI recommends this property. Stayed for 16 days in March, 2013 We rented the upstairs and downstairs units. The house was very clean and in a lovely area! We barely saw the neighbors, and they were very friendly when we did. The kitchen was stocked with basic cooking tools, which was very helpful. The staff was wonderfully accommodating. The only downside was the slow WiFi, BUT it's not a big deal when you're on vacation! Televisions in every room kept us busy when we were looking for downtime at the house. I would definitely book another stay at this rental! |

Nice house, rural area but noisy at night A guest from Menomonie, WI does not recommend this property. Stayed for 3 days in March, 2013 We were disappointed with the traffic noise that went past the house - the area is very rural so I was surprised at how many cars went by at night. The neighbor's dog howled, whined, and made noise that didn't allow sleep. We had to shut windows and turn on free standing fans since the house didn't have AC. The sheets were sandy in one of the guest rooms, they apparently weren't changed since the last guest. The house was nice, had nice furniture and had good cooking utensils, you just had to deal with the dog and traffic at night when it was supposed to be peaceful. Property Manager Response: Response from Aloha Coast Realty, LLC/Hawaii Holiday Vac. Rentals Thank you for your review. We're sorry your experience wasn't great and we hope that your review will not deter others as this rental has been great for most guests! None of our vacation rentals have AC as that is not a necessary thing here where the weather is temperate year round. Many of us use fans at night both for air flow and noise mitigation (lots of things here chirp in the Coqui frogs). We will certainly let housekeeping know about the sand in the bed!

Practical rental that need some work A guest from Medina, WA does not recommend this property. Stayed for 3 days in February, 2013 If you read directions well, finding it is very easy, it's even on Google Maps. Check-in is straightforward, only need search around the house to find the 2nd floor key lockbox. Many amenities as expected in the house, but could use some upgrade (no stainless-steel cookware, knifes are not sharp...), we like the books, coolers and lots of things we don't use (we didn't touch the hottub, nor the washer/dryer). A couple of bad experience: 1) The main 2nd-floor bathroom leaks, so we only used it once. 2) there are some spoons/dishes not thoroughly cleaned (but it's easy to clean them again). What's good about it: many rooms so that each person can have one's own room :) Property Manager Response: Response from Aloha Coast Realty, LLC/Hawaii Holiday Vac. Rentals Thank you for your review, we will share your concerns with the owners and housekeepers. We hope that other prospective guests wil read ALL reviews as we feel yours is a little harsh. This is one of the BEST kept rentals we manage and we know that guests LOVE it! Mahalo, Hawaii Holiday Management |

Kalapano Shores Greg Z. from Molalla, OR recommends this property. Stayed for 3 days in February, 2013 It would be nice if the directions to the local features were better described. A top 10 list of the things right there would have been nice. We did not realize the uniqueness of the location re: the volcano until the last day. The tide pools were very cool, but not easily found. What about a floating key holder to tie to the snorkeller to keep things dry? Property Manager Response: Response from Aloha Coast Realty, LLC/Hawaii Holiday Vac. Rentals Thank you for your review. We're always looking for ways we can improve our service to guests and love the idea of a Top Ten "Thing to do in the Area" list. Thanks for the idea! Mahalo, Hawaii Holiday Management |

Fantastic! A guest from Waialua, HI recommends this property. Stayed for 3 days in January, 2013 the house was AWESOME! The distance to visit other areas of the island was the only downside...we went to ocean view and the greensand that was at least 2 hours one way...but well worth it!! I loved being able to walk on the lava flow in front of the house...wish they'd reconnect the road so you don't have to go all the way up and around to get to volcano...but what a minor problem!!! Property Manager Response: Response from Aloha Coast Realty, LLC/Hawaii Holiday Vac. Rentals Thanks for your great review! Yes, this is a BIG island and many of the sites are spread far and wide. We recommend staying on both sides of the island for a full Big Island experience! Mahalo, Hawaii Holiday Management |

Well worth the stay Reviewed by: Doug C. recommends this property. Stayed for 5 days in October, 2012 We loved our stay and only wish it was longer. It was alot cheaper then the hotel we rented for four days. I think the best part was being able to buy and cook your own food. Its simply amazing to see that the lava flow had spared this house and the others around it. The Farmers Market just outside of Pahoa is really cool and lots of veggies to bring home and cook. The Hot tub is very nice and relaxing. The beds are comfy, heck the whole house makes you feel right at home. |

A little bit of paradise A guest from Outram, Otago recommends this property. Stayed for 3 days in July, 2012 The girls that I booked through could not have been more helpful. We really enjoyed every aspect of our stay, and the location was ideal. The local market was fantastic, giving us a chance to mix with the locals and experience the local foods. |

Amazing Place & Price Melissa H. from Kaneohe, HI recommends this property. Stayed for 3 days in July, 2012 This was an amazing place to stay. For some it may seem like it is not close to anything as it is not in Hilo or Kona but I think that is the great thing about it. It is not far from the amazing sites of the black sand beach, a short drive to the volcano, you are a stones throw away from the current lava flow, Champagne pond and Ahalanui are just down the road, and you can't miss people watching in Pahoa. The house has all the amenities that you would want or need. A hot tub soak after hiking the crater rim trail. I would stay here over and over again. I just have to thank for helping me out last minute too. Big Mahalos! |

Lovely May Stay Chelsea C. from Chula Vista, CA recommends this property. Stayed for 6 days in May, 2012 We had a great time, although my husband came down with the flu while we were there! The location was great for us because we wanted to be near our friends the Chadwicks down at the end of the road. We enjoyed walking the lava fields and then down to the farmer's market on Wednesday night. We also enjoyed the close proximity to Kalani. Plus it was AWESOME to see the lava glowing from the balcony at night. Our only complaint was that the television and remotes were very difficult to figure out how to use in the master bedroom. Other than that we are very grateful for the wonderful accommodations. |

LOVED KALAPANA SHORES Libby G. from Willoughby, NSW recommends this property. Stayed for 3 days in April, 2012 Our family of 5 spent 3 nights at the wonderful Kalapana Shores in April. We had just spent 9 nights at a massive resort in Waikiki so we loved the peace and quiet that Kalapana offered. The house was great, very comfortable and great security. The snorkelling gear and chairs were an added bonus. The snorkelling at nearby Kapoho was fantastic as was the hot pool at Isaac Hale Park. Loved the black sand beach down the road. This is an amazing , unique location, one which our family will remember fondly for years to come. Highly recommended. |

Beautiful John W. from San Leandro, CA recommends this property. Stayed for 3 days in February, 2012 Love the location! Amazing house. Had a great time there. Wish we could use hot tub after 9 because we are never back til around then. And I would just replace it to fix the noise problem. For me I would also get rid of the labels of how many on everything. It would give it a more comfortable feel there. Thanks Property Manager Response: Response from Aloha Coast Realty, LLC/Hawaii Holiday Vac. Rentals Thanks for your review..the hot tub motor has been replaced and is now quiet enough to run at night. Thanks for the suggestion about the labels, we'll consider that!

Kalapana Shores vacation A guest from Ottawa, ON recommends this property. Stayed for 4 days in January, 2012 Great vacation house! The hot tub is a wonderful place to relax and watch the birds, ocean etc. Location is a bit far from Hilo but we found lots of things to do . The owners have assembled a binder of things to do locally, which was helpful. Rental arrangements were handled very efficiently and instructions were clear. We would love to return to Kalapana Shores. |

Couldn't be happier! Scott & Holly D. from Fairfax, VA recommends this property. Stayed for 4 days in November, 2011 We arrived on the Big Island only to be informed that our original rental house (not through this management company) had no power. We frantically pulled up a rental website and began looking for a house with the key ingredients we wanted: immediate availability, king bed and laundry on the Hilo side of the island. This rental house fit that description and more....The management company was fantastic, processing our application and payment promptly allowing us to check in just a few hours after our call (not normal situation so best not to count on it!). The house was clean, organized, and stocked with the basics.We were a little surprised at first that there was no A/C but quickly realized the first night that it was not needed. I should mention that we visited in November and were out of the house most of the day so I don't know what it would be like if you were hanging out at the house during a different time of year.Then again, why would you hang out at the house (other than the fantastic view - the pictures are accurate, the hot tub, etc.) when there are so many adventures within short drives:Volcano National Park (and the lava viewing position just down the end of Rt 130 from the house - it wasn't flowing during our visit but you could see the glow...and we were standing on the lava from the flow that occurred 11 months prior)Hilo with its waterfalls, Farmers Market and the Kaumana Caves (a must do for anyone who likes an adventure - bring your headlamps and flashlights and explore both sides)Puna adventures including Champagne Pond, Lava Tree State Park, and the walk to the new Black Sand Beach just down from the house.The only downsides (and I'm really stretching here) were the Coqui frogs at night that can seem really loud at first and the house is just off Rt 137 so there is some traffic noise in the morning. Loved it and already started thinking about coming back in the |

Great Getaway! Linda W. from Thorne Bay, AK recommends this property. Stayed for 10 days in November, 2011 This house is a great place to relax and escape from the cold and rain in SE Alaska. We stayed here for 10 days in Nov. and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The house has plenty of room to spread out. The view from the deck is spectacular. We had a rainbow almost every morning. One thing that I liked was that you can drive to many places in under an hour. Looking at the location on a map, I thought we would be doing a lot of driving. But we even drove to Mauna Kea one evening for the Stargazing Program and we were there in about an hour. We loved the Farmer's Markets. All the great fruit and veggies. My only complaint about the house was the noise from the road, especially since the master bedroom is right by the road. But it isn't too bad and we got used to it after the first couple of nights. But it may have been that we arrived at the house on Saturday and I guess the bar in Kalapana gets pretty busy. A nice surprise was that the house does have WiFi eventhough we were told that it did not.Need to change that on the description, if you haven't already. The management company responded the same day when we complaned about the hot tub not being hot enough. We will be back. |

Fabulous time!!! Shane & Dee R. from White Bear Lake, MN recommends this property. Stayed for 6 days in March, 2011 We had a great time at Kalapana Shores!!! Fortunately the property manager is "on the ball" as we got a call about 10pm letting us know of the upcoming tsunami. Though the home is pretty close to the ocean (within a few steps) it is high enough above the tide that we had no problem with the tsunami. We evacuated and returned within hours. All in all, we had a great time! Will go back again! Thank you. |

Stayed for 4 days in February, 2011 Lovely, well furnished home with everything in the kitchen we needed to make some delicious meals. Found fresh flowers on the table when we arrived, a very nice greeting. It's a bit of a drive to many things but fun to explore and enjoyed the lush foliage and the stark contrast of the lava. We were a little surprised with the traffic noise but by the end of the stay had adjusted to it. |

Our stay at Kalapana Shores John K. from Victoria, BC recommends this property. Stayed for 4 days in January, 2011 On the positive side.Overall a good spot.We had a wonderful time on the Big Island and the accomodation was clean and spacious and the set up with lock boxes and a gate made us feel safe.Great to BBQ on the deck.Recommendations: the house is a little has lots of instructions posted about and make you feel a little intimidated about using all of the space with a looming extra cleaning fee possibility.Air conditioning would help as at night you have to close everything up because of the noisy frogs. |

Stayed for 2 days in January, 2011 Very nice house indeed. It was a nice location for our purpose. I was sleeping in the Master bedroom (upstair room with the router for internet). I think that the bed need new sheets (to me its old and worn). Additionally the internet did not work for me there after I was told that it would work. Property Manager Response: Response from Aloha Coast Realty, LLC/Hawaii Holiday Vac. Rentals The owners just replaced the sheets, and we will look into the internet issue thanks for letting us know!

Too noisy A guest from Portland, OR does not recommend this property. Stayed for 4 days in December, 2010 The 3 main bedrooms give directly onto the road, and it made our nights very noisy. In order to get to downstairs, you have to take an outside staircase, which would not be suitable for young kids. it's not really one house as is specified in the description, but 2 separate units. Other than that, limited supply of dishes (we had to run the dishwasher everyday just to get more plates), but everything is in great condition and the place is nicely painted in vibrant colors. |
