❤️PiH❤️ HALE O'HONU ★ House of the Sea Turtle ★ KaMilo Detached Home

Brought to you by Paradise in Hawaii Luxury Homes

Welcome to “Hale O'Honu,” House of the Sea Turtle, part of our Hawaiian Luxury Collection. Hale O'Honu is a brand new and beautiful 3 bedroom / 3 bathroom home that offers everything that you would ever desire on your Big Island vacation in Mauna Lani.

Hale O'Honu is a professionally decorated single story, free-standing home (no stairs and not a shared-wall townhouse) that has an atmosphere of sophistication yet is comfortable and inviting. Perfect for up to 7 guests, it is a true island home away from home…

Fast WiFi with great coverage included!

The house has a modern Polynesian design and a spacious, 1700 sq. ft, open floor plan with beautiful travertine floors throughout and a fully equipped gourmet kitchen, outfitted with granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances.

Two private backyard lanais (which open from large sliding glass doors off the living room and master bedroom) are furnished with stylish lounge chairs and a BBQ, and are surrounded by lush, tropical landscaping, giving a sense of tranquility and calm.

There are two bright and airy master bedroom suites, both with spa-like, ensuite bathrooms and walk-in closets.
One master offers a plush, California King bed while the other offers two TwinXL beds that can be joined to make a King if desired.
The third bedroom has a Queen and also has an ensuite bath.
All of the beds are outfitted with luxurious 600 thread count sheets and beautiful cotton/linen quilts, and all of the baths are stocked with white, fluffy, 100% cotton towels.
​​​​​​​There is an optional foldaway for 7th guest.

The bedrooms are also all equipped with flat screen TVs with the living room boasting a state-of-the art, 75 inch flat screen, Smart TV - just lower the automatic, dropdown blinds and you have a screening room that makes for the perfect movie night.

The house also provides (among other things)…

- Free High Speed Wi-Fi
- Cable TV
- Beach chairs
- Boogie Boards
- Beach Towels
- Umbrellas
- Games for kids of all ages (Monopoly, dominos, backgammon, chess, etc.)
- Pack 'N Play
- High Chair
- Blender
- Rice Maker
- And a Ukulele (complete with a how-to-play instructional manual)

Other Amenities

Guests of Hale O'Honu get full use of KaMilo's spectacular, 2 acre Recreation Center, which is about a 90 second walk from the home.

The Rec Center offers a gorgeous, mosaic tile lap pool, a large lagoon style family pool, a children's wading pool, two Jacuzzi spas, a workout building with exercise machines, free-weights and showers (with separate men's and women's locker rooms).

There is also a large, covered pavilion adjacent to the lagoon pool with a kitchen, BBQ, sink and fridge – a perfect place to have a meal, host a party or enjoy a relaxing cocktail (or two).

Access to a Private Beach Paradise

The private Mauna Lani Beach Club (a gate card that we provide our guests allows entrance) is only a couple minutes drive away and is another perk of renting Hale O'Honu.

It is a picturesque white sand beach - a true oasis - perfect for snorkeling (one of the best snorkel spots on the whole island), swimming, kayaking and stand up paddling (there is a fully stocked rental kiosk at the beach). Or, if you just want to relax, the Beach Club offers cabanas and lounge chairs (free of charge), so just grab your favorite book and you're set.

There is also an excellent restaurant and bar at the Beach Club where you can eat and take in the view of nearby Maui or order your food to go and picnic on the beach. And sunsets here are just breathtaking!

Hale O'Honu is within the Mauna Lani resort, close to both Auberge and the Fairmont Orchid Hotels.

Fantastic location and beautiful condo

We loved the cleanliness and updated aspect of this condo. The location was perfect when it came to getting around the island. The living space was comfortable and we loved the kitchen and spaciousness of it. We will definitely come back. The resort amenities were fantastic too!

Vacation away from home

The House is nice, there is everything which we needed. The furniture is a little out of date, the carpet in the master bed room needs to be change or wash. Otherwise the house is nice, plenty of spaces.

Beautiful location and home, needs some maintenance/updating and more thorough cleaning

The location and privacy of the home are wonderful. The home itself is lovely as well. We appreciated the beach gear in the garage to use, as well as the kitchen being well stocked. However there are quite a few maintenance issues in the house that need attention. The locks on the sliding bathroom doors don’t work properly. The toilet paper holders also don’t keep the paper rolls on them without falling off. There was a piece of cabinet corner molding in the kitchen that fell off randomly one evening and we had to try our best to put it back on. The shower caddy in the master bathroom fell off the wall while trying to get shampoo when shower. The back deck area is a gorgeous place to hang out, but there are tons of tiny ants that bite on the chairs and patio itself. The bathroom towels could use updating as well, they aren’t very white and clean looking. We would stay again but it would be great if the house could have certain things addressed and fixed up, to improve the stay, especially in the price range of this rental.

Stay

The fan on stove does not work. The door on the refrigerator does not open without force. There is mold in the Master bedroom shower. There needs to be a bright decal on the plexiglass on the Master shower as we ran into it as it is difficult to see, especially at night.

Nothing but ALOHA... in Kamilo 406

Our family of 4 just returned from a great week at Mauna Lani and amazing stay in Kamilo 406. This 3 bedroom, 3 bath home was beautifully furnished, very well equipped and immaculately clean. We wanted for nothing - kitchen was stocked with everything right down to basic spices - and the garage contained everything we could possibly desire for a fun day at the Mauna Lani Beach Club... including great snorkel gear and bikes. We were fortunate to be granted a late check out and pay a half day rate since no one was checking in behind us for a few days - our flight wasn't departing until 1030pm and we so appreciated being able to enjoy another day in the house/at the beach. The beds were comfy - our 6'1" son really enjoyed the topper that was added to the twin beds in guest room to make it into a king. My only complaint would be the house could use some fresh pillows. Enjoyed the privacy that unit 406 offered - the outdoor seating areas were relaxing and comfortable. The Kamilo community within Mauna Lani is very attractive and offers a lovely pool/workout facility area. We visited the Beach Club daily, the unit comes with a beach club gate access card where you can find easy parking and a lovely restaurant for lunch, tropical drinks during the day. After having to delay our family vacation for 9 months due to Covid we were so grateful to enjoy some R&R together on our favorite Hawaiian Island. MAHALO to the owners, rental managers and the State of Hawaii for making it happen.

Very nice stay

We stayed for 3 weeks at this property. We appreciated that the property managers accommodated a few special requests in advance of our stay. We liked that this unit's owner had added overhead lighting. We appreciated the comfortable master bed, the shower heads and water pressure, the bicycles in good working order. Kitchen was stocked adequately, air conditioning worked well. Backyard is small and quite shaded and other than trips to use the BBQ, we didn't use it much. If you already know the advantages of the Mauna Lani area, this is a nice unit to stay in.

Highly recommend this stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at this home. It was very clean, nicely decorated and had all the amenities we needed. The access to the beach club was the absolute best. The beach is so nice and not overly crowded and the snorkeling there was amazing. There were all the things we needed for the beach and snorkeling at the house for us to use. The highlight of our trip. There is a nearby market and shopping center that was very convenient. The dryer quit working and the property manager was so nice and very quick to get someone there to fix it. This house absolutely met all our needs and more.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of four just spent 9 nights at this property.If you like Kohala, it's a great location, near beaches, golf, etc. The property itself is lovely. Big open living space with high ceilings. Decently equipped kitchen. Three bedrooms each with its own bath. really comfortable mattresses and bedding. Beach gear in the garage. Super clean. Very responsive manager. Not much in the way of private outdoor space - there's a small lanai in back - but it's a 30 second walk to the pools/gym/pavilion. Definitely recommend.

Excellent landscaping makes the unit feel very private although it's in the middle of Ka Milo. Well-equipped, comfortable, stylish, convenient to activities and the Foodland.

Wonderful Home Away From Home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Just got back from 2 weeks at KaMilo 406 and loved it. Check-in - if you could call it that - was perfect; instructions had been emailed in advance and were clear. We didn't need to talk to the property manager the entire time because the house was stocked with everything we needed plus more! Beach chairs, mats, pool floats, snorkel equipment, all the kitchenware, dishes, and flatware we needed were handy. The house is so close to the Foodland that it was super convenient to pick up food for lunch or dinner whenever we wanted to cook in. Beds and couches were comfortable and the living room TV is enormous! Location can't be beat - a few minutes to Waikoloa Beach Resort, Hapuna Beach, Waialea Beach, Black Sand Beach (on the other side of the Mauna Lani resort; this one is pretty cool - highly recommend, but go early as parking passes are limited), and of course, the Mauna Lani Beach club pass that is included with the house. Pools were nice and 2 minutes walking from the house, but we didn't spend much time there. Lap/Quiet pool was rarely crowded. Honestly, if I could buy the house with the contents, I would! It's a great place to stay!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife, adult son, and I spent two wonderful weeks at Keanu Cottage in late January to early February. The cottage was very spacious, quiet, and well appointed. Top end appliances made cooking very easy. The main and bedroom lanais offered comfortable outdoor space for R&R. The unit was a two minute walk from the rec center, adult lap pool (best outdoor pool I've ever used and I've used many in my days) and hot tub which we used daily. I could not recommend this unit enough.
