Kekoa Camp Home

Come and enjoy staying in a remodeled Sugarcane Plantation-Style house in the quaint town of Papa’aloa. This is a great (basic accommodation) home base and an opportunity for adventurous travelers. This home is off the beaten path, away from tourist areas, in a local historic camp neighborhood. Situated along the Hamakua Coast, this home is 24 miles north of Hilo and 34 miles south of Waimea. Explore the many natural wonders including waterfalls, lush jungle, botanical gardens and so much more.
This house has been refurnished inside and out. This home has three lovely bedrooms, one bathroom and features peek-a-boo ocean views, queen sized beds in every bedroom, TV, wifi, and two available off-street parking spots in front of the house. Enjoy a coffee or tea on the front lanai while watching the ocean. There are many windows that provide great natural light and ceiling fans in every room create air flow year-round. Ear plugs are provided for your further comfort if the sounds of nature (dogs barking and roosters) and the neighborhood are a little too loud.
This home offers basic accommodations it is not a luxury rental.

For all stays, we provide the basics (toilet paper, paper towel, shampoo, conditioner) to get you started on your vacation. It is up to the guests to replenish as needed.
This home is built so that there is amble space underneath the house (an adult can easily stand up straight). This is where the washing machine is located. Space to hang dry clothing is also provided under the house as well as racks inside the home. There is no dryer.
-Any evidence of smoking inside the home, ashes, burns, smell of smoke upon entering the home will be charged an extra $250 cleaning fee for deep cleaning to remove all traces of cigarette smoke.
-An Additional $100 cleaning fee will be charged for guests staying 21+ days.
-There is no regular trash pick-up. If you have more trash than what fits in the outside trash bin, please take it to the local transfer station (less than a mile away). See information binder inside the home for transfer station details. Any trash left outside of the bin is subjects to an extra $25 trash hauling fee.

Beautiful interior
The house was located in a very local neighborhood, neighbors were parked in our parking spot. The code for the house was not in the email we received, when we called the contact number it was out of service. Self check in process was difficult. The inside of the house was beautiful but there were roaches all over the house dead and alive, as well as cockroach feces. The kitchen sink faucet was not secured/glued down so it moved every time you use it. It was a great location for what we needed for that weekend. Definitely feel like we were overcharged considering all of these issues. Definitely not a place for the faint of heart.

Cute
It was a cute 3 bedroom home . Smaller than I imagined but it was a good size . The artwork was nice . All the little extra stuff made it feel like a home and not hotel . Definitely liked the location . It's not as noisy as mentioned . It's a good short term rental for sure .

Wonderful home
House as described, Dannie is a wonderful host and always reachable. She helped us with everything in our special situation, we will never forget her and Jessica. If you want a home away from the tourists you are right. Awaiting luxury and quietness, go in a hotel. It’s a normal neighborhood with chicken, dogs and everything else. We enjoyed it here, directly on the Hamakua coast line. Thanks for all, Dannie!
