Experience the culture of aloha from this 'Hale Ho'okipa-House of Hospitality,' a 1-bedroom, 1-bath vacation rental apartment in Keaau. Sitting on a 1-acre lot, this home for 4 offers travelers an authentic Hawaiian experience far from resorts. Whether you spend your days snorkeling or whale watching, you'll love ending each day at this island getaway.
Grab the complimentary beach toys and head 30 minutes down the road to the black sand beaches of Hilo! With opportunities to swim, surf, and turtle watch, Hilo has something for everyone. You'll also be a short hour and a half drive to the leeward side of the island's finest white sand beaches during your stay.
When you don't feel like cooking, head less than 10 minutes down the road to one of Pahoa or Keaau's delicious eateries. Boasting everything from simple Hawaiian fare to various ethnic cuisines, these small island towns are sure to have something to quench your cravings. Kaleo's, located in Pahoa, has great local eating with live music.
Don't miss Rainbow Falls or the botanical gardens in Hilo an easy 25-minute drive away. In the winter, you have the chance of seeing whales from the coast a 10-minute drive away. Take a stroll on the beach cliff walk for a relaxing afternoon.
You don't want to miss a visit to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park which is a half hour drive away. Experience some of nature's most awe-inspiring wonders at this home to two volcanoes. Enjoy hiking through craters, steaming bluffs or rainforests, exploring the visitor's center with excellent movies, driving Chain of Craters road or enjoying some food at Volcano House. Volcano Village, just outside the Park has wonderful places to eat and several art galleries.
Susie and Lester are amazing hosts. They were so welcoming and happy to answer all of our questions. The unit was immaculate and well stocked. The garden was beautiful and we were able to pick some fruit and vegetables to cook with. It was a home away from home.
We enjoyed our stay in the Keau house very much. I love staying in this area because you're so close to so many great attractions (hot springs, volcano ntl. park, and Hilo). The owners were very responsive and provide everything you need with detailed instructions. The property has a ton of great plants and fruits and has a great country feel to it. The back lanai is an excellent spot to relax. We'd definitely look for availability in the future!

My sister and I stayed here for a week and loved it. Apartment is clean and had everything needed for our stay.
Our hosts were so kind and such lovely people. I loved early mornings and evenings on the beautiful lanai listening to the birds on their tropical property.
The property was gated and secure. I recommend staying here and plan to return when I come back to the Big Island.
We couldn't have asked to have better hosts. Lester and Suzie truly are just wonderful people. They are very kind-hearted and generous. We didn't come with much of an itinerary and we are glad we didn't because they have an amazing book of recommendations that allowed us to see and experience things on the big island we would have never been able to by ourselves. The property brought us so much peace and tranquility and we looked forward to every morning having breakfast on the porch and every night falling asleep to the sound of frogs and birds. Everything about the apartment was perfect. It had everything we could possibly need and was very comfortable. I can not recommend this property enough.
This rental was easy to locate, very easy to rent, with a quick response from the owners to guide us through the checkin process. It was located within a few miles of the local convenient store and town centres (Hilo and Pahoa), which had multiple restaurants and shopping, by locally owned. A short drive to many sites/walking trails while in Hilo. Only 40 miles to the Volcano National Park. The property itself was very neat, clean, organized and comfortable. Complete with a carport for guest parking, as it was raining when we arrived. We were extremely grateful nothing got wet as we unloaded the car. (A very huge bonus to the accommodations). The garden on the property was a nice additional feature, as the owners left us help ourselves to their garden. The bed was very comfortable and there was laundry on site. The host were amazing and made sure we had everything that we needed, and made sure the football games was on the TV as it was Super Bowl Sunday, (upon arrival). The host were very kind and considerate. We will be renting from them again.
