Beachfront vacation rentals in Kapoho Tide Pools

This is one of the best Airbnb’s we’ve ever had the pleasure to stay in. You can tell how considerate the host is from the little things like providing welcome fruits and beach gears, to the abundance of toiletries and first aid kits. We fell asleep to the sounds of nature and woke up to the beautiful sunrise on the ocean. There is a stunning black sand beach 5 mins away on foot, and our kids had an amazing time even though we were worried about the nudity initially. People there were extremely respectful and we did not feel uncomfortable at all! Thank you for making our trip a magical experience!

WOW! This is hands down the BEST Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at! I booked this place having never visited this end of the island before and I couldn’t have been more impressed. Howard met us at check in and showed us the property and created the ambiance with candles and a fire pit going. His place was beautiful, peaceful and serene. The property is adorned with beautiful trees, flowers and fruit. Howard gave us wonderful recommendations and we even joined him and his friends at Uncle Robert’s for the weekly Wednesday night party! Howard is accommodating, warm, friendly and kind. The home is very private and the outdoor shower and bathtub were absolutely perfect! I feel like I’ve found a lifetime friend in Howard and look forward to visiting him again! Thank you so much for everything!!

We stayed 4 days here with extended family in the smaller home on the same property and it was great. The kitchen was well stocked, there was plenty of space for our family of 5 (larger group was 10 total) to spread out. The best part was the beach across the road with good snorkeling (stronger currents so be careful) and lagoon with turtles. Plenty of outdoor gear to borrow- SUP, kayaks, small boogie boards, water shoes and snorkel/fins. Would definitely stay here again.

One of the nicest places I’ve ever stayed. Janice was so kind and communicated great with us. The view is even better in person and the house was bigger in person too! Everything pictured is better than you can imagine. We saw turtles from the cliff every day! Hot tub was fun and so were the games. Neighborhood was great for walks and everyone is so friendly. We did not want to leave!

Truly unbelievable experience at Robyn’s place! The view is spectacular and the photos don’t do it justice, you’ll just have to see it for yourself. Location is very convenient while providing great privacy, would definitely recommend.

I was there with my boyfriend for the week. The location was great! Within walking distance g distance to great restaurants and the best farmers market I’ve ever been to. The views are absolutely stunning. Watching the sunrise in the morning was so beautiful. We felt right at home. I would definitely stay there again! Thank you so much Carla and Joe! It was a little slice of heaven there.

Beautiful home and wonderful host. We had everything we needed or could ask for. Mari was a perfect host answering any questions, providing many local recommendations and even met us at checkin to show us her home. The view was magnificent, opening the doors in the morning and sipping on coffee on the deck watching the sun rise was my daily ritual. It was a nice surprise to have chairs and snorkeling equipment available to us. Grocery and Walmart minutes away for quick pickup items. The must see sights were just 10-20 minutes away. We visited the caves, snorkeling in the bay, national park and the gardens.

Great location for exploring the Hilo side of the Big Island. Shopping and restaurants were 20 minutes away in Hilo, and Volcano National Park is about an hour away. Also a great location for seeing the real world results of the 2018 volcanic eruption. Place was as described, and very beautiful.

I have stayed in a lot of Airbnb accommodations. This condo is the best. It it's perfect for one or two people it they aren't sharing beds. I love sitting on the balcony and watching the waves. I have been here multiple times and I am very comfortable here. Restaurants, market, and beaches are close and easy to access. I love staying here. Thank you!

My family and I planned a trip "home" for our father who was born and raised in Hilo. We wanted to make it extra special where we could be together and get some rest and relaxation. I have to say, we were so grateful to have found this home! Our group consisted of 6 adults and 2 children. We all had ample space to spread out and we each had plenty of privacy. We prepared breakfast/lunch and snacks at the house which has a good size kitchen and went to Hilo for dinner each night. Hilo is an easy 20–30-minute drive from Keeau. The house was very clean and well stocked with paper goods, linens, etc. They do a good job maintaining the exterior which I know can be tough given the proximity to the water. We were able to watch the sunrise each morning from the deck! Any issue that popped up was immediately addressed and resolved by the management team. The trip was so special that we are going to make it annual, and we all look forward to returning to Mika Kai again!

View from the Lanai is amazing! We often saw whales and when we walked out to the water, we could watch sea turtles in the surf. House was very clean and comfortable. Beds were very comfortable also. Kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed to prepare meals. We had an outstanding time! Would definitely stay again!

Sonja and Alex are exemplary Airbnb hosts! They are thoughtful and attentive. We could not have asked for more! If you are going to the Big Island, do yourself a favor and stay in this beautiful oasis. My husband and I had an amazing time, Sonja and Alex left chocolates and fresh island fruits in our space and made us feel 100% at home. Future visits to Hawaii (big island) will be spent here. Gorgeous views and peaceful surroundings. I cannot imagine finding better accommodations. Beautiful, peaceful, perfect. Mahalo Sonja and Alex, MUCH ALOHA. <3

This stay way absolutely wonderful. Such a beautiful and peaceful location. We really enjoyed the beautiful surroundings and fell asleep nightly to the soothing jungle sounds. The host was extremely accommodating and made sure everything was perfect for our stay. This has been my favorite Airbnb stay by far! I will definitely be staying here again if I ever make it back to the islands !

This was probably one of the nicest, most idyllic places I've ever stayed in. The accommodation is absolutely beautiful, so thoughtfully put together, super clean and luxurious, and you instantly feel welcome and at home. The beautiful lakai (patio) overlooks a lucious paradise of a garden, you wake up in the most comfortable bed to the sounds of exotic birds and a view of the sky and the trees through the windows, the "outside/inside" shower makes you feel like you're in the trees while enjoying maximum privacy, cute geckos pay you a visit on the lakai or in the little meditation/yoga studio in the garden, the night sounds of frogs and the stars you can see from bed.. paradise! Not to mention the perfectly equipped kitchen (oils, spices, coffee, tea etc.) and bathroom (the fluffiest towels, and the guest toothpaste saved our first night/morning there), two comfy robes, books, a lovely welcome basket, you name it. If I'm ever back on Big Island, I will definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay. Beautiful ocean view. We even heard the whales at night! The location was convenient to Hilo and Volcanoes National Park. It was a treat to be here when the volcano started erupting. A bonus! Well apportioned and clean. Thank you!

Shiva's cottage was absolutely wonderful. We loved everything about it...the deck that practically overhangs the ocean, the house layout, the design-we especially adored the kitchen floor-the whole house was beautifully decorated, with thoughtful touches throughout. Shiva was a pleasure to work with-very welcoming and great communication. The area is quiet and peaceful, which is just what we were looking for, after a busy week in Kona. Thank you Shiva for an amazing stay-we can't wait to come back!

Beautiful house across the toad from Kehena Beach. The rooms were beautiful and the bathrooms were immaculate. Kitchens were stocked with dishes, glasses and utensils and much more. Loved sitting on the lanai. Beautiful view of the ocean. Walking distance to the drum circle on the lawn. Just a fantastic stay!

Jim’s place was AMAZING! View was spectacular & home was so clean and cozy. Looking forward to the next time I visit Hawaii just to stay here again! Highly recommended. My family can’t stop thinking about our stay here. 10/10!!

This suite is only a few minutes from town and the host is very responsive. It is very clean, well decorated, has comfortable furniture, and high ceilings. The free parking is right at your door! If needed, you have access to an excellent A/C system. It is a great value!

We had a wonderful stay at this cozy and well-appointed home! The highlight was undoubtedly the stunning tropical ocean view—we even spotted whales and dolphins right from the deck! The location is fantastic, just a short walk to a breathtaking black sand beach (clothing-optional), though swimming is best for strong swimmers. The home is comfortable and has everything needed for a relaxing stay. As expected in the tropics, the environment can be a bit tough on materials, but that’s just part of the charm of being in such a beautiful, natural setting. The host communicated really well and has done a great job keeping the space welcoming and well-equipped. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway immersed in nature, this is a fantastic spot. We would absolutely stay again!
