Honu Kai - Just Steps From The Kapoho Tide Pools
Honu Kai is light, open, and completely remodeled with your comfort in mind. This 3-bedroom 3-bath home is located in a special area of Kapoho called Vacationland. The famous Kapoho tide pools, officially known as the Waiopae Marine Conservation Area, are just across the street and contain an astonishing variety of fish, sea creatures, and of course the sea turtles or honu that give the house its name. Thanks to the protection from the open ocean, the tide pools provide a safe and inviting environment for even the novice swimmer to snorkel or just float in crystal clear 80-degree water year ’round.

The large main living/dining/kitchen area is on the upper level, with windows on two sides opening out to the lanai and a partial view of the water. The three bedrooms have one king and two queen beds and there are two bright, spacious baths upstairs. The decor is a mix of tropical and tasteful retro-Hawaiian, with beautiful linens on the beds. There is even a workspace with a desk, computer, high-speed Internet, phone, and fax machine if you need to keep in touch with the real world while you’re in Kapoho.

Kapoho is one of the places that sea turtles call home in Hawaii. Just a short walk and the tide pools beckon you to explore without worry of surf or currents, perfect for those who are not too adventurous in the ocean. For guests who are comfortable in the water there are many more areas to explore, in Kapoho and elsewhere on the Big Island.

An outdoor, private hot tub awaits you when you return from a day of activities. Have a barbecue on the back deck and enjoy the Kapoho sunshine. There is also a full bath and washer/dryer downstairs — very convenient when you are coming in from a swim or the hot tub!
