About this property
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.

Why they chose this property
If you are looking for a local neighborhood, this is a place where the locals stay. It is not for anyone looking for a quiet hotel-like experience. It is clean and refurbished but a more basic accommodation. The neighborhood is lively with neighbors interacting and kids playing. Please feel free to strike up a conversation, as most neighbors are very friendly.

While some of the homes in this neighborhood are a little more unkept than others, this home offers an experience you most likely won't forget. The people are friendly and kind. The houses are close together, so you'll see people and kids interacting regularly.
This home is great as a mid-point to Hilo and the northern portion of the Island. Please note that there are ear plugs provided for the roosters crowing and dogs barking.
