Book Makapala hotels

This was a beautiful hotel with the nicest staff. The views are incredible. The beach and pool and hot tub are incredible. The breakfast buffet was very good.

Very private and relaxing. Everything you need for a vacation. The location requires some driving to get to groceries and sites but the quality and the privacy of the property is well worth a few miles. Would totally choose this over a resort any day!

This was a dream vacation for our group and the house did not dissapoint! Wow! A view to die for, plenty of room for our party of 8, a great kitchen, and a great pool and playroom for the kids. The neighborhood is gated and peaceful. We spent many an hour on the lanai and in the beautiful pool. There are 5 bedrooms. Two upstairs are connected by a bathroom suite-style, one with en suite off of the playroom, one downstairs with en suite that is accessed from the patio (no interior door), and the beautiful master with the most amazing shower you have ever seen! The master is also "detached" and has access from the lanai or from it's own exterior door. All of the bedrooms have air conditioning but the main part of house does not. It does have a wall of screened pocket doors out to the lanai and plenty of windows. The house was comfortable all day in 88 degree weather if we were careful to put the shades down in late afternoon when the sun comes right in the front (gorgeous sunsets!). There are many ceiling fans to keep the breeze flowing too. Granted, we are fom the South but it never got too warm unless we forgot the shades. Honestly we spent most of our time outside anyway!The house is within striking distance of both Waimea and Waikoloa for shopping and supplies and not too far from Kona proper, 45 mins or so.The owner is great. Very responsive and helpful.We all felt so rejuvenated after our stay here. Thank you Julie for letting us share your little slice of paradise!

The location was up the hill, with beautiful views and great stargazing, too, due to being on the north part, away from city lights. It was perfect for a night after a day of exploring the Kohala area and north.

The staff was very accommodating and helpful. Thank you to the wonderful staff.

Great location. We wanted seclusion and it did not disappoint. I see some reviews complaining about the road to the house but that is what I loved. The connecting road is a little steep and bumpy but to get away from the crowds or tourists' areas, I can put up with a little rough road. We rented a Jeep because we planned on going to hard-to-reach beaches, etc., and did not have any problems. I do have to mention that the description of the property is not correct on the Vrbo page. The very first words in the listing says, "Entire house", which is not entirely true. There are other people that live in the house on the first level. However, the care takers that live there are very nice people and helpful. They were helpful in getting us in the house because the door lock code that was sent to us was wrong/old. In addition, the book of instructions inside the house also has an expired code. These are all minor things that did not cramp our style at all.Thanks
