"One of the best is the
Lagoon House, having
been built overlooking
one of the ponds, 'the
only warm-water aquarium
in the area'
and next to the
Champagne Cove."

Truly a Piece of Paradise, Your Home Away from Home!!!
       
      The Lagoon House is an extraordinary Big Island Oceanfront Vacation Rental house, located in the private gated community of Kapoho Beach Lots. This gracious and comfortable 3 bedroom and 2 bath vacation home is wonderfully situated on its' own PRIVATE, calm, clear, warm water lagoon, adjacent to the beautiful turtle filled Champagne Pond and the open ocean. Our thermally heated ocean fed water is about 87 degrees, and is filled with many HUNDREDS of colorful Hawaiian reef fish. As far as we know, this is the ONLY Snorkeling Aquarium of it's kind in the World! The fish are very beautiful, friendly and accustomed to being fed daily, so it is great fun to watch the feeding action from in/under the water or on the deck or patio when you offer them food. Snorkeling in our calm, warm lagoon is an easy way to explore Hawaii's underwater wonders and is enjoyable for all ages, from children to grandparents.

Quote from Elite Magazine: "Lagoon House has the alluring selling point of sitting on a 10,000-square-foot tidal lagoon, a walled inlet of the ocean.
The lagoon has the rare distinction of being naturally (volcanically) heated to bathwater temperature. There's more:   The pool contains huge numbers of Hawaiian reef fish which love the warm water as much as the owners and guests. For snorkelers it's a Travel Channel moment."
       The views from the deck and inside the house are beautiful. Layers of calm, sparkling waters carry your eye to the ocean and the breaking waves beyond. You can lie in the comfort of a beautiful mahogany sleigh bed and quality Ralph Lauren sheets and watch a beautiful sunrise or moonrise over the ocean and palm trees. There is large wrap around lanai, cantilevered over the water, with lounges and table and chairs-- perfect for catching some rays, eating your meals, relaxing with a book, and watching a multitude of stars in the night sky.
       For fans of the "Wizard of Oz", Lagoon House has an extraordinary collection of personal, stage and screen memorabilia of Ray Bolger, who played the Scarecrow in this classic movie. A custom cabinet contains Ray Bolger's dance shoes, top hat, and numerous photos and awards from his personal collection. Gwen and Ray Bolger's niece, Ann, is the wife of Lagoon House owner Richard Thompson.
       They  live nearby on their 6 acre organic farm and will provide you with vases of beautiful tropical flowers and a bowl of homegrown organic fruit in season---avocados, bananas, starfruit, citrus, etc. when you check in.
       Beautiful, sunny Kapoho is located about 40 minutes from Hilo on the eastern tip of the Big Island. It is one of the sunniest spots on the windward side, receiving about half as much rain as Hilo, mostly falling at night. Kapoho is reported to have the cleanest air in the United States.
       Very few people get to experience anything like Lagoon Houses' unique location and warm water snorkeling lagoon. Lagoon House is available year round and has been one of the most popular vacation rentals on the east side of the Big Island for over 10 years. To avoid disappointment, book early for reservations, especially during high seasons, winter and summer. In this unique and comfortable home you can enjoy the relaxed, easy island lifestyle far from the usual tourist crowds.
