Awesome house in the Kona hills

We had a great stay in this property. We were here for the Kona Ironman and the house provided a fabulous opportunity to escape the busy town during race week. Spectacular view and great features made it a superb rental options.

Haku PL -Lovely

What a perfect vacation getaway! Gorgeous landscaping all around the home. Lanai perfect for early morning coffee, a fine dinner on the large dining area, or watching the colorful sunsets. Nice view of the ocean from lanai or patio. Just the right size for our family of 5, the furnishings and decor were perfect.

Lovely home for Kona adventures

Excellent jumping off point for all of our adventures on the Big Island! Very well stocked kitchen and grill allowed us to make sack lunches, breakfasts, and dinners. Beds were comfortable and we all slept well. Plenty of room to spread out and relax after busy days. We especially appreciated the beach towels and cooler as well as the gorgeous view of the ocean.

Sunset relaxation

What a beautiful property, and it is exactly as described and photographed! Our family of 4 stayed for a week, and our two kids could have each brought a friend to stay. Lots of room to hang out. My favorite was waking up every morning and having my coffee on the lanai looking out over the beach. And the sunsets every night were glorious; we cooked in a lot and the view every night was gorgeous! 5 minutes from the town for restaurants, 20 minutes from our favorite beach, so very accessible. Thanks for all the beach supplies!

Live like a local

Our group has an absolutely phenomenal time during our stay. The house is extremely well appointed, and just a short drive to all Kona destinations. The lanai and outdoor patio were the perfect way to start and end every day. I will be on the lookout for this property again, the next time we travel to the Big Island. Thanks!

Worked perfect for our family holiday!

In the middle of a residential district but once through the front door, one really has no awareness of neighboring homes. One looks over the roofs to the ocean beyond. Adjacent homes are behind and screened so curiously the house feels very private, except for the periodic traffic sound from streets a block or two away (nothing terrible). Located right off the main highway, it's quick to go north or south to find whatever you're seeking (e.g., beaches, town, shopping, etc.). We'd definitely stay there again.

Loved it!!

This was the perfect place to gather with my family and friends as we celebrated my friend's 55th birthday. Very clean and spacious and in a great location where it was just a short drive to Alii Drive. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed and the grill outside was clean and ready to go! It had everything we needed for the beach (even though it rained most of the time) but we still used the umbrellas and cooler. Couldn't have asked for a better stay!

NO AIR CONDITIONING

The host was great and communicated well. This is a beautiful property with gorgeous windows and views—unfortunately we had to spend the days at my daughter’s VRBO because this house was so HUMID and HOT. I came for my daughter’s wedding and every time I put my makeup on it would just sweat off. It was terrible. They did provide fans and cooling units but that didn’t do much during the day. It was bearable at night. It was a beautiful place but if you are sensitive to heat and humidity this is not the place to stay.

What a treasure!

This house is perfect for a couple or two, very nicely designed and furnished, with a huge, screened lanai that was our favorite place to relax after a day of snorkeling, sightseeing or hiking. The sunsets were breathtaking. The owners were very friendly and everything was well stocked and comfortable. We hope to return soon.

Family vacation

This was a beautiful place to enjoy our first trip the Big Island. There was plenty of room for 4 kids and 2 adults. Would highly recommend the place for a big group or family. The house was well stocked and ready for cooking, came with plenty of outdoor equipment (snorkeling gear, beach chairs and umbrella, beach towels). It had everything we could possibly want. This is an outdoor living environment where the giant lanai is the living room and dining. This means there can be a few (very few!) small bugs and crawling critters can get in the house. This is super manageable and was never a problem, but you do need to manage food waste/spent drinks sitting out. Fantastic place and a great value too!

Perfect house for a trip of a lifetime

We stayed a month here and it was truly wonderful. Indoor-outdoor living at its best. The generous amenities were appreciated, such as the plentiful kitchen and bathroom supplies and towels. The layout of the house is also great with the kitchen and laundry being on the opposite side of the bedrooms, making it more kid friendly.

What makes this property unique

Hale Haku overlooks the the Sadie Seymour Botanical Gardens and Kona Education Center that features the historic Kealakowa’a (“the way for dragging canoes”) Heiau. This ritual site, built in the 1600’s in the time of King Umi, was used for blessing canoes and can be seen from the lanai. The 1.9-acre site contains a group of platforms including a heiau for the high priest to officiate, an astrological temple to study omens and navigational stars, the foundation of a high priest’s house, and the foundation of a house in which were held council meetings of the seers and chiefs. The sacred site is positioned along an ancient trail that led from the upland forests of Acacia koa trees on Mt. Hualalai down to the Pacific Ocean at Holualoa Bay.
