About this property

Hale Hina ~ Private, Peaceful, Perfection!

Welcome to Hale Hina - The Home of the Hawaiian Goddess of Sunrises, Sunsets, Coral Reefs, and the Moon!

Our home is very special, and has many fabulous features and amenities, including the most important and maybe the most intangible one: Hale Hina is our vacation home too.

Why should that be important to you? Because we stay at Hale Hina three times a year, and when we visit we enjoy having a beautifully decorated, well appointed and excellently maintained home. Other vacation homes, left alone by their absentee owners to be managed by a 3rd party company, will never be given the same energy, love or attention as Hale Hina.

Featuring panoramic coastline views, an infinity pool, hot tub and a gourmet kitchen, our private residence, located in the gated and guarded Keauhou Estates community, in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, is the epitome of ALOHA living.

Relax into the embrace of the Hawaiian Goddess, Hina, when you step into the grand entryway through etched glass doors depicting gorgeous Heliconia flowers and towering banana trees. Our custom 2661 square foot, three bedroom, three bath hale has everything you need for a peaceful, re-energizing, private tropical island vacation.

Upon entering the expansive great room, the cathedral ceilings create a vast sense of space. Curl up on the cushy crescent moon couch and watch your favorite Blu Ray movie on the 60” flat screen with surround sound, or listen to tunes through the integrated sound system. Let the captivating view lure you through the two giant pocket doors onto the covered lanai, as Hale Hina seamlessly connects the indoors to the outdoors.

Grill some freshly caught fish, local grass-fed beef, or your favorite veggies (picked up at the Keauhou Farmers Market) at the convenient outdoor kitchen. The lanai features ample covered dining space for six people and an outdoor seating area for cocktails and conversation. Afternoons melt away in this peaceful setting where you can unwind in the hot tub or the infinity pool and your privacy is protected by the tropical landscaping and lava rock terracing.

The gourmet indoor kitchen is a chef’s dream with granite counters, cherry cabinets and all the tools you need to make a simple meal or an epicurean delight.

The spacious master suite features a California king size bed, walk-in closet and large pocket doors that open to the lanai --revealing the soothing ocean views. Slide between the soft cool sheets after an evening soak in the hot tub, located just outside the bedroom. Unlike hotels and condos, Hale Hina’s pool and hot tub don’t have a closing time! The master bath includes a walk through marble shower concealed behind a glass etched ocean scene, Jacuzzi bathtub, a long granite counter with two sinks and a separate room with a comfort height toilet.

The second master suite includes a California king bed, a queen size Murphy bed, its own spacious bathroom with double sinks, comfort height toilet, a walk in shower with grab bar, and outside access through a sliding glass door with a path to the pool area.

The third bedroom offers a queen bed and a convertible over-sized chair that cleverly disguises a regular twin mattress. A rainforest marble shower and travertine floors complete the guest bath located just down the hall.

Let the ocean breezes carry away your stress while you watch the whales and surfers frolic off the coast during the day. Marvel in the beauty of a perfect sunset as the stars begin to ignite the sky and you watch Hina weave her moonlight magic.

Absolutely wonderful!

I enjoyed looking out over the ocean every morning, afternoon, and evening. We had a phenomenal view. I was truly able to unwind and relax. At a hotel, it can be challenging to take your kids to the pool. We simply walked out to the lanai, where we spent the majority of our time anyway. Our kids had the best time in the pool - gave them something to do every day so we could stay at a relaxed pace. Our weather was delightful, which made it amazing as well. We got to really enjoy and relax.Couldn't have had a better trip

Michigan to Kona

This house was perfect for our 13 day stay. It is close to everything we wanted to do and the outdoor pool and deck were wonderful for relaxing after day trips and sunsets. Considered day trips to other islands but never felt the need to. More than enough to do on the Big Island for at least 2 to 3 weeks. Many Highlights but the Manta Ray trip was probably the best. Thanks for a wonderful time.

Incredible Hawaii vacation

Besides all of the wonderful activities we did while exploring the island, Hale Hina was so peaceful with incredible views of the Pacific and sunsets. I am so glad that we chose Hale Hina over other lodging options on the island. Definitely recommend if going with a larger group. Mahalo and Aloha!

WOW! What a great property for a family vacation!

Hale Hina wowed us from the moment we walked in! The home is immaculate, beautiful, and comfortable inside and out. It had everything we needed and was the perfect place for a family vacation to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and lanai and the close proximity to great restaurants and Kona attractions. We appreciated all of the guide books and information at the home. We all commented that Hale Hina sure sets the bar high for all of the other VRBOs! Thanks for sharing your slice of paradise with us!

Amazing Property

While the photos on VRBO made this property look great, I know from past experience that sometimes looks can be deceiving. Such is not the case with this listing! It is so much more than the pictures can properly show. Not only is it beautiful but it was spotlessly clean and very tastefully decorated throughout. But even better was how well stocked the home was. No need to worry that the kitchen might not have everything you need. It’s got absolutely everything and more. We were so in love with this location that we found we were content to stay and just enjoy the pool and spa instead of fighting the traffic on Alii Drive to try to get to town. We have been to Kona many times so it was truly a vacation and not a sight seeing trip. Staying at the home was so relaxing without a care in the world. We did use the owners extensive manuals on how to operate the top of the line kitchen appliances and also for recommendations of local places to eat that they enjoy when they are there. I wouldn’t hesitate to book this location in the future. The price was more than we usually pay but I think for an excellent vacation it was well worth the money.

Relaxing and great location

We stayed 6 days at the end of our 16 day vacation to three island. Very relaxing sitting at the pool and watching the sunrise and sunset. Beautiful! One master suite at the far end allowed us privacy while my daughter and her family had the other side of the house. We cooked in most dinners and the lanai was very nice for all of us eating our meals. I enjoyed the pool with my 3 little granddaughters while others snorkeled or did other activities. Not far from the main strip of Alii drive where many shops and restaurants are located. If I needed anything, Ute, the property manager was available by phone/text. Owners were very nice and even checked up on us to make sure we were good. We all had a great time and I would recommend this home while staying in Kona.

Stay at Hale Hina, Hawaii

Hale Hina was perfect for our family including grandparents, parents and a toddler. The kitchen was well stocked: provided option to bbq, cook at home or pick up food. The location was ideal: close to many restaurants and stores, plus beaches. The best part of Hale Hina is the lanai overlooking the pool and Pacific horizon. Again, this provided options for our group (pool, hot tub and/or relax on the patio).

Beautiful view!

The view is worth a million bucks. Really is an incredible place to relax with a group of people and just stare into the distance. The location is close to a grocery store and restaurants making it easy to manage family needs. The beach just down the road is good for snorkeling but not great for kids. It's very rocky and there are a ton of sea urchins. There are many kid friendly beaches within a 20 minute radius, so beach time is easy to achieve. The house supplies everything you need for a beach day, so no need to rent your own gear as long as your group is less than six people. Host and property manager (Ute) are wonderful and very responsive. Absolutely worth every penny!

About the host

Hosted by Sallie Haws

Host profile image
Hale Hina is owned by two sisters, Sallie Haws and Amy Haws Peck, who grew up in the San Francisco Bay area. Sallie worked for 26 years at the family company, Haws Corporation, a drinking fountain and emergency equipment manufacturer that was sold to the cousins in 2011. Sallie now manages the Haws Family Office. Sallie, her husband Jim Bowers (Hale Hina's official photographer), and her two children Marquise and Terry Van Tassel live in Las Vegas, Nevada. Amy and her husband Dennis Peck live in Escondido, CA. Amy owns and operates The Goddess Studio that helps empower women through dance and ceremony; Amy is also the artist of two original flower paintings on display inside Hale Hina.

Why they chose this property

The Haws Family has loved the Big Island for many years. Our parents spent 2-4 weeks a year at the Kona Village Resort for over 30 years until it was closed due to the February 2011 tsunami. Amy and Dennis spent their honeymoon at Kona Village as well. Sallie and Jim traveled to Kona every other year with the kids during the first decade of the new millennium.

We picked Hale Hina for its single story, 3 bedroom layout, it's amazing view and the fact that it had air conditioning and a hot tub. We realized that we didn't need to be on the ocean, we just wanted to SEE the ocean. The house was owned and built by a couple who lived there as their primary residence and therefore put great energy and many special touches into their dream home.

What makes this property unique

Some of the most unique attributes of Hale Hina have already been mentioned. Additional benefits include an on-island Guest Experience Virtuoso who is available to help make your vacation exceed your expectations. In addition to personalized check-ins, arrival groceries, housekeeping needs, chef or catering services are some of the luxuries she offers for an additional charge. German and Japanese language translation can also be accommodated.
