About this property

Hana Ocean Palms Bungalows

The Hana Ocean Palms Bungalow is located across from one of Hana's most beautiful oceanfront pools - Waioka Pond (Venus Pool). The property is nestled in a coconut palm grove and surrounded by almost an acre of lush tropical flowers, fruit trees and bamboo. Pick avocados, papayas and bananas and gather vegetables and herbs from the garden. This charming bungalow has all the comforts of home including a fully equipped kitchen, a gas grill for barbecuing, high speed internet access, and a phone for local or long distance calls. The master bedroom has a queen bed and the back bedroom has one double, and one twin bed. The bungalow has two screened porches, one with a hammock for an afternoon nap, and the front porch with a queen bed looking out to the ocean. Fall asleep listening to the sea from the screened porch and awaken to the sound of the wind in the palms and birds singing. Original oil paintings by a local artist, warm natural wood and bamboo, luxurious rugs, and bedding throughout.

The bungalow is about one mile from Koki Beach, famous Hamoa Beach, and three miles from quaint Hana town. It is about a 20 to 25-minute drive to 'Ohe'o Pools ('Seven Pools') in the Kipahulu section of Haleakala National Park. The national park has abundant freshwater pools and waterfalls, hiking trails, and a cultural hike to a restored ancient taro farm.

The perfect vacation home.
The Ocean Palms Bungalow is the perfect vacation home on the road to Hana. It is set back and hidden from the road and is surrounded by beautiful trees and a lush garden. I stayed at a similar cottage years ago but that home was sold and taken off the rental market. I have been searching for another like it for years but nothing has ever compared until now. The house is not a sleek, modern place with all new matchy- matchy furniture. But that is exactly what makes this place so special. It looks as if it was put together in stages just as your own home might be. Everything was in good condition and the house was cozy, clean, and comfortable. Ceiling fans and screened windows kept us cool. A hammock on the screened back porch and a bed on the screened front porch were delightful places to relax with a book! We loved being visited by the property’s cats. The house is a short walk to the ocean and a short distance to purchase supplies. It was everything that we wanted. We island hopped on this trip but after reaching the Hana house we wished we had spent our entire 2-week vacation here.

Amazing house in a perfect location
Our family of four, including two teens, stayed here for two nights during an 8 day trip to Maui. Staying at this house was our favorite part of the trip. We walked to the Venus pool each morning and swam alone and loved how different staying here was from the huge resorts. We will be back for sure.

Perfect Location
This little bungalow has the perfect Hana location. We were able to walk to the Venus Pool and be the only ones there. The property manager walked around the property with us and gave us some fruit to try. The jungle surrounding the house is so beautiful. Upon entrance to the house I was worried. It was pretty dang hot. It did cool down at night/early early morning but I do think a couple more fans would be helpful (the one in the back room doesn't work). We were eaten alive by mosquitos (yes, some in the house). If I had known, or thought about it more, I would have taken light-weight pants. We did have plenty of bug spray but no one likes to be covered in bug spray all the time. There is a queen bed on the front porch, a queen bed in the first bedroom and then another queen bed and twin bed in the back room. The one bathroom is small but sufficient. Beside the mosquitos we didn't have any other bug problems but we weren't there for too long. We enjoyed the geckos in and outside the house. There were some beach chairs, boogie boards and sand toys that we used. It is quaint and a little rustic but I would stay again.

Waioka Pond Palace
From the moment our family stepped foot onto this amazing property we all knew we were staying someplace special. The yard is full of flowering plants and edible plants. The house walks a fine balance of kitschy and homey decor. With three lanais and one full bedroom to choose from for sleeping our family literally slept in a different place every night! The property is perfectly located between Hamoa/Koki Beach and Pipiwai Trail. It's crowning achievement though is to be located directly across the street from the Waioka Pond (Venus Pools)! I cannot overstate how incredible it is to simply want to go hand out at WP and be a five minute walk to it! The cherry on top is the fabulous outdoor shower for washing off after your amazing adventures. Bamboo walls, lava rock floor, living plants, and the stars for your roof makes showering such a joy! Of course there is a full bathroom in the house if you don't like the outdoor shower. My family loved our time here. We will certainly return.

Second time staying on this property and will stay again.
This was my second stay at this property and I’d say is the perfect location in Hana. The family loved the house and how it gave us a living in the rainforest being so open. The grounds were fun to explore, the kids loved the friendly cats, 3 minute walk to Venus pools. Comfy beds and a great property manager. Looking forward to staying again.

Highlight of our Maui trip!
The place was amazing! It was a 20 minute walk to hamoa beach, and literally across the street from waioka pond, which are two of the most gorgeous places I have ever seen. The place was beautiful. The host was friendly and helpful. He told us about some great spots and was very accommodating. He cut open coconuts fresh from the tree for us too! Thanks for the hospitality!

Family vacation with young adult children
We had the most fantastic stay at Hana Ocean Palms. Albert was a wondeful and generous host. The house was perfect for our family of 6 (my husband, myself, our 3 young adult kids, and our newest member a soon to be son-in-law). The home is situated in the perfect spot just a few minutes from Hana Town, 2 minutes drive from beach, and a quick walk to the Sacred pools. Gardens surrounding the home are beautiful, lush, and full of fresh fruit. Our 3 nights at this home were our favorite part of our entire trip to Hawaii.

Great location in Hana and a wonderful property
Pictures do not do this rental justice as it's very accommodating in regards to hosting areas, beds and location. Albert even greeted us after our later arrival which was appreciated. There are 3 separate sleeping areas (bedroom, front porch and back porch) and I must say the front porch was quite peaceful listening to the lush garden blowing in the evening wind. I'd gladly stay here again and would highly recommend to others.

Step back in time
Loved all of it! From the 70's retro look inside gave you a feeling of being younger and back in the 70's when things were much simpler. The beds were comfy, the shower was nice (soft water) and the kitchen was well stocked. We stayed two nights in Hana and also visited family just up the road by St. Peters church. The hammocks were a great relaxing addition and was used a lot. The property manager was very nice to work with and the grounds were immaculate. We will be back, Loved It!

Girls weekend
We had a wonderful time. The accommodations were fantastic. The only problem with the tub was slippery. We did not find a bath mat. Also, we were unaware the caretaker was on property. She was lovely, but it would have been better that we knew someone was on property. (sorry women with suspicious minds:)

Magical!
This little gem was such a special find, and our stay was nothing short of magical. Albert was responsive and the house was beyond clean and comfortable. Our favorite parts were the bed on the lanai and the outdoor shower (a magical experience in itself!). The beds were comfortable, and it was truly one of the most peaceful places we’ve ever stayed. We’ll definitely be back!

Relaxed , chill get away among coconut trees and tropical paradise
What is not to love about a screened in front porch with a hammock chair, were you can wake up to the sound of the tropical birds and let lush foliage around you? The morning outdoor shower was an amazing experience , although the inside one is just fine if you prefer. Renee, the caretaker, is in an attentive and thoughtful person. Very conveniently located near the National Park and the Venus Pools.

About the host

Hosted by Albert Zeman

Host profile image
I have traveled and lived all over the world, and moved to Maui some 25 years ago. Though I lived on the other side of the island, where I did landscape architecture and design, Hana always has had a particular draw. Eight years ago after selling an ocean front house I moved out here. I also am a boat captain and offer sailing charters in the summer in the Pacific Northwest and the inside passage.
I consider myself an artist, teacher and an adventurer.

Why they chose this property

Hana is unique in all of Hawaii and sometimes called the 'Last Hawaiian Place', Once you brave the beautiful Hana Highway, you will find yourself in another world and unlike the rest of the island feel you are truly somewhere else.

What makes this property unique

Aside from the magic in the land here and the Aloha spirit of the people, most visitors feel this to be a very restful and rejuvenating place. Fresh air, beautiful grounds, great sounds and fragrances. You are surrounded by fantastic walks, close to great swimming, stunning scenery and simple nature. The food is delicious. Fresh fruit and vegetables as well as fish are available year around.
