About this house rental
Welcome to your private oasis on the east side of the Big Island. The first thing you will notice are the breathtaking ocean views, picturesque palms, and refreshing sea breeze - Hawaii’s natural air conditioner! A covered lanai offers the ideal location to experience the quintessential sights, sounds, and smells of the island. Enjoy an oceanfront morning coffee or afternoon cocktail at the comfortable outdoor table and chairs. A BBQ is also available for an afternoon of grilling and dining outside!
An inviting living area greets you upon arrival with cozy furnishings. Snuggle up on the comfy sofa and enjoy a movie night at home on the large, flatscreen TV with cable and high-speed internet. Spectacular ceilings tower high overhead featuring an open design to promote airflow and circulation.
A spacious kitchen provides the family-chef with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, ample lightning, and a lovely garden-view window. Fully-equipped with everything you need to feel right at home including all cooking equipment and utensils, microwave, coffee maker, and generous storage space. Bar stools are situated at the countertop for a perfect breakfast spot!
Ascend the Koa trimmed staircase to reach the master bedroom featuring queen bed, ensuite bathroom, and private lanai directly off the bedroom! The ocean views from here are even more beautiful and offer another excellent spot to enjoy the tropical climate under a covered lanai. The ensuite bathroom is stylish and spacious boasting a full bath, shower, and great lighting with full windows and palm tree vistas.
A second bedroom sits on the lower level of the home. Only about five steps down from the main living area, this bedroom is actually two levels below the master and ideal for a little extra personal space. This bedroom also features bright natural lighting, generous closet space, queen bed, and work space with a desk and chair. The second full bathroom includes a glass shower, updated fixtures, and sliding window. This home does include a Washer & Dryer for guest use. Take a break from the hustle and bustle in your well-maintained home away from home on the peaceful Big Island.
This almost oceanfront home is situated on 1.04 manicured acres with native plants, foliage, and extensive fruit trees. Technically Beach Rd does sit between this property and the ocean, however there is no through-traffic. An ideal location, Hilo is only 20 minutes driving away and Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is 45 minutes. No Smoking and No Pets Please.

The house and grounds were just as advertised. It was very close to the ocean, you could hear the waves crashing. The house was clean and very nice. We had everthing we needed. While there is no air conditioning in the house, if you keep all the doors and windows open, it cooled down just fine. We had most everything we needed in the kitchen, a few spices or seasonings would be helpful and sharper knives too. Overall, it was a lovely place to stay.

We selected this VRBO due to its proximity to my son's home. The views were excellent and the home served us well. My only disappointment was all the people driving down Beach Rd and turning around in the back driveway. This went on day and night.

I'm pretty sure the best feature of this property is the ocean view from the main and upper lanai(s). The house is beautiful as well as it's landscaping. It's so relaxing to stay in a place like this. We had one of the toilets leaking but management took care of it the very next day without delay to our vacation itinerary. I don't mind staying here again. I will miss this place!

Reviewer Comments:
Clean and comfortable and with amazing views. We were visiting family to attend the Merrie Monarch and the drive to Hilo was easy to navigate. Quiet area and well maintained home. We had a little difficulty finding the property on the first night, I would suggest adding the street name Akala Ave as listed on the sign to the directions. Also lighting at gate and an improved lock/opening system are needed. I was uncomfortable with the window in the loft bathroom shower and would suggest frosting the pane or adding curtains. The home and property were nicely maintained. Views and the sound of the waves from the livingroom and loft were soothing. I am truly missing my morning coffee overlooking the ocean.

We chose this location to be away from urban bustle, and to enjoy a local experience. It is a convenient jump off to Volcanoes NP, the Puna District and the Hamakua Coast, and about 15-20 minutes to Hilo’s events, museums, and restaurants. At the entrance to the property’s subdivision we found fun places to eat (with live music), and a fantastically-stocked store to grab anything you need.
Upon arrival, one is immediately struck by the expanse of lush landscaping and great privacy from the property next door. The ocean views commanded the back of the property, and so close it could startle you with waves spraying high up on the pathway running between the house and the sea. Friendly locals use this path for morning walks but otherwise one enjoys incredible solitude.
The layout of the house was great for us. We loved the openness and expansiveness of the upstairs master bedroom and bath, and the ocean views from the upper and downstairs patios. The kitchen was well-stocked, and appliances in great shape. The ceiling fans created great airflow, and the house was extremely neat and clean, and welcoming in all reaspects.
The local property manager was so helpful and friendly, and readily available for all our needs. Her “aloha spirit” was a special asset for this property.
I would recommend this property to one seeking a private ocean-front seat to incredible morning sunrises, the vista of Hawaiian seas, and the sounds of nature, Hawaiiaan-style.

The grounds and the home were clean and comfortable. Everything worked as expected. The kitchen was stocked very adequately, however the home needs a manual can opener since the electric can opener doesn't work right. There was only salt, pepperand some oil, so if you plan to cook, you'll need to get your own condiments and spices. The kitchen things were very minor compared to the overwhelming relaxation and beauty of the home and it's location. There is a very good grocery store just 15 minutes away. I highly recommend this place.

Reviewer Comments:
The property is a very relaxing place to spend time. Although it sounded from the description that Beach Drive is closed the barrier is at the front of the property. We came in the winter so traffic was not bad. We enjoyed watching the humpback whales from the lanai. You can see the first light and sunrise especially if you walk on Beach Drive looking east. Lighting is a bit of a challenge if you have to navigate the stairs at night. The ceiling fans help but it took a bit to learn which switches activated them and then find the remotes.The beds are comfortable and it's great that there are extra blankets and pillows available. The upstairs bathroom is very pretty but a bathtub mat is advisable because it's extremely slick with no grab bars available. I fell in it after losing my footing the first day and injured my ribs, which a week later still hurts without constant ibuprofen. Nice bruise too. I didn't use it again. A bit of a damper to my vacation.

One can walk through front yard to the ocean edge (drop off). You can hear the ocean while laying in bed. Observed whales breeching from the porch at least 4 times. I ran 2-3 miles every morning (1 mile of it along ocean Beachroad). The rainwater catchment system was new to me. I was concerned a first. However, I drank the water for over a week and didn't get sick :)

We loved this property, great view, comfortable house, good location and great views! We would love a lamp, either standing or table, in the living room. Great property and we will definitely come back!

It was just what we wanted. Very clean and so close to the ocean, you can hear it. The views were amazing and the neighborhood was great. We came to the HPP area to look at a house to buy and the neighbors and views and sounds sold us on it. I would definately rent this place again. If you are looking for peace, solitude and ocean life, this is a great rental.

Hale Honu was perfect for us.The house was clean and comfortable, the kitchen even had a few staples, having access to laundry was a bonus. The yard space added to the sense of privacy, and the neighborhood was quiet for the most part ( coqui frogs and birds!)Location was awesome- especially for those sunrise walks.Keaau Foodland/Ace Hardware are a quick 20 minutes away- time errands not during rush hour though.Perfect intro to relaxing island life 🤙🏻🌺🌈🌴🐢💖Highly recommend!

The location of the property is ideally located on the ocean. As noted in the property description there is a local dead-end road in front of the property so minimal traffic other than local people stopping to fish or walk the coast. The property met our expectations and had all the necessary items to make it a pleasant and quiet stay.
