What a magical place. The Lodge at Kaloko is truly private retreat. At the same time, it’s very close to beautiful beaches and all the town attractions one could ask for. This would be perfect for a family trip or a larger group.
It’s so quiet and peaceful in the evening...the sunsets and stargazing is unbelievable. We enjoyed sitting around the outdoor fire pit in the evenings and taking walks around the Kaloko area. The beautiful native birds, citrus tree and nearby avocado tree were a pleasant surprise. We even stopped at a couple local fruit stands which were within walking distance from the lodge. Mountain thunder coffee plantation is just up the road and we got a nice, freshly picked bag of Kona coffee to brew in the mornings. There is also a hike just up the road that is a must!
We used the gym everyday, it truly has everything you need to get a good workout in! We also used the sizable yard and basketball hoop for exercise a few different times.
In the afternoons, my husband and I would open the huge glass wall in the living room and work both in the living room and multiple backyard spaces. The pool & hot tub area is very luxurious. And the hot tub is huge! The pool was a nice temp because it is solar heated which made it enjoyable at all times of the day. We watched a movie one night in the movie room; the surround sound is pretty impressive. The kitchen had everything we needed including a pressure cooker, rice cooker, air-fryer and various different serving dishes/cookware.
The master bedroom was roomy and bed was extremely comfortable. I also truly enjoyed the large jacuzzi bathtub located within the master. We had so much space and loved our time here.
The host was super helpful and responsive. Check in was easy and we felt very safe with the gated entry. We will definitely stay here again and would love to plan a family reunion here soon. Thank you for an incredible experience!
