About this house rental
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.

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!

Beautiful home with extraordinary views! Had everything we needed and could want in a vacation rental home! We cannot wait to come back to this beautiful island and hope to stay at Hale Hina again!
Mahalo! The Mauldin and Pope families

Comfortable beds, great pool, fantastic views and close to shops and restaurants. Check in was super easy. Ute, the property manager, had the extra bed ready for our arrival & corrected the 1 issue we alerted her to immediately when we let her know about it. A perfect stay as far as we're concerned.

This was our first time to Hawaii!! We loved the house and the location. Very easy drive to all the places we wanted to visit. We had 5 adults staying at the house and we had plenty of room to relax and enjoy fun evenings. The pool and views are priceless.

Beautiful house with awesome lanai and pool area. Perfect spot for your morning coffee and those picturesque sunsets. Very well equipped, great attention to details. Easy and helpful communication with the property manager even at 6am on a Sunday morning 😀. We hope to return!

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!
5.0
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.

Hale Hine was a beautiful and relaxing getaway. We enjoyed all the sites and attractions the Big Island had to offer then returned to an amazing place to watch the spectacular sunsets. We would highly recommend Hale Hine! Ute was an amazing Island hostess!

Overall a very nice property and well stocked kitchen. The views are absolutely gorgeous. Minor hiccup of fan not working in one of the bedroom but the property manager provided small fans which made it manageable. Would love to stay here again when visited Big Island.

This house was perfect for our family of 5 adults. Loved that you can open up the entire back of the house leading out to Lanai. Spacious outdoor space with lounging and dining space with infinity pool and hot tub, all overlooking beautiful oceans and sunset. Highly recommend!
5.0
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.

We were with friends there and we loved it! The house is awesome, clean and the pool also. These sunsets- just stunning! Thx that we could stay there.

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 home with incredible views! Very scenic. Everything was as described. Top notice appliances, furniture, and lighting. Couldn’t have asked for a nicer place!
5.0
Very comfortable and relaxing. The pool and hot tub were an added bonus.
The driveway is narrow and tricky if you want to turn around at the top of the driveway.
All in all, a great place and perfect for 3 couples.
5.0
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!
5.0
The house is as advertised. It’s beautiful quiet place to stay not too far from Kona. Sallie and Ute made sure to let us know if we had any issues to let them know (we didn’t have any). We highly recommend and hope to visit again sometime in the future.

Beautiful property! Some days we didn’t even want to go sightseeing. We just relaxed by the pool. This property has everything! Thank you so much!

Great house, Great views
I am from upstate NY (Rochester), so anywhere in Hawaii is going to be impressive. This property was awesome! It was very clean and well appointed. It is air conditioned, which is not always the case in Hawaii. It's worth the price of admission for sure!

It was our 30th anniversary and my parents 50th so we treated then to a trip to Hawaii on a shared anniversay in paradise. The house was perfect. Beautiful setting with breath taking sunsets. We would recommend this home to anyone. We are looking forward to a return trip in the near future.

Amazing time at Hale Hina!
We had the most wonderful stay at Hale Hina and of course, did not want to leave. My wife and I have four kids and had a romantic getaway without them this past week. The house was in perfect condition and was incredibly comfortable. We have rented many other VRBOs over the years and this house takes the cake as the most clean and and where everything worked perfectly. I HIGHLY recommend you stay at Hale Hina. Sally was lovely and we greatly appreciate her sharing her home with us. Thank you for this wonderful experience. Sean and Meredith

Amazing home, with great lanai and pool area - the living room walls fully retract so that inside and outside blend together for full tropical immersion! Great size for two couples and a kid, with everyone getting their own bedrooms, but having a common area to hang out. Short drive to diving and restaurants - as long as you don't require being walking distance to the beach, we'd definitely recommend this place!

My friends and I splurged on this incredible home to celebrate a friend becoming a new mom — surprise baby came 5 weeks early and we found ourselves together for the first since the world altering pandemic in paradise. We rallied, enjoying her pregnancy masseuse, adding more excursions to our itineraries — we swam with manta rays at night, enjoyed snorkeling at beach 69 (not a grain of sand returned to properly with us!), some took a fishing charter & drove to Volcano National Park for the day, stoping at a black sand beach and ending with seeing actually erupting lava as the sun went down.
At our home for the week we cooked in the amazing Hale Hina kitchen — slept hard every night after a swim and Hottub and lined up reverently for sunset each evening. If we had done nothing but sat on the lanai and watch birds and lizards, listen and smell the flowers and enjoyed each other’s company we would have been complete. This house welcomes you with its comfort and delights your eye with each artistic touch.
We hope to return one day soon and that Splotch the outdoor calico kitty is up for more than secret nighttime feedings and occasional sightings from afar. Ute was a fabulous on island resource! Thank you Sallie & Fam for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Slice of heaven!
This gorgeous property is situated in a quiet gated community, less than 30 minutes from the KOA airport. The layout and furnishings of the home are beautiful but the real star of the show is the view. Whether you’re in the kitchen, master bedroom or lanai, the views are stunning. My husband and I loved every second of our time here. Between the property owners and managers, we were made to feel like friends invited into their home, not just random tenants connected by internet. This was a magical place and so glad DH and I got to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary here. Mahalo!!

Excellent communication and overall experience. The owner takes pride in her home and it shows! Very detailed instructions and clear labeling made everything easy to use and understand. Beautiful sunsets and comfortable sleeping arrangements for our family of 7. Favorite parts included the pool and hot tub with pool toys provided, caretaker Ute and the overall quality and cleanliness of the property, especially during COVID. Highly recommend!

Hale Hina Getaway
Gorgeous property! Very clean property, extremely safe during Covid times. We were able to do all check-in and any questions remotely with Ute (on the island Property manager). Love that there are 2 "primary suites" with ensuite bathrooms and a separate bathroom for the 3rd bedroom. Perfect getaway for our family. Wish we could have stayed longer.
