About this house rental

"Pathway of the Gods" is the meaning of the name given by ancient Hawaiians to Kealakekua Bay. Five hundred feet from the bay, nestled among the palm trees and fragrant plumeria blossoms is the site of your next vacation. Let us "Big Isle" you!

Hale Hanai is a family-friendly two-story vacation rental home which will give you a taste of old Hawaii, away from the crowds, with a large private yard abounding in fragrant flowers, bananas, and coconuts. 'Hanai' is a word Hawaiians use to designate adopted family. While staying in our home, you are our adopted family.

Upstairs, Mom and Dad can relax and enjoy their own private living room with views of the bay. The Alii (royalty) room is furnished with a California King bamboo canopy bed, a seating area, and a lanai from which to view some of the most beautiful sunsets in the world. There is a fully-equipped kitchen and a dining room with a table that seats eight, as well as a china hutch with dishes for that special meal.

Downstairs, there is a separate living room, and room to enjoy a snack. The Sandcastle Sanctuary has a queen-size bed and a built-in daybed, perfect to accommodate Grandma and Grandpa or a married child and spouse. The built-in daybed is wonderful for a younger child, and it also makes a great place to sit and enjoy a book while the ocean breezes rustle the curtains and wash your cares away. There is even a portable crib ready for a napping baby, if needed. The Volcano Room sports a double bed and the decor has been heavily influenced by Madame Pele, the goddess of fire. The Captain Cook Quarters has a twin-size daybed, with aquatic decor for kids who might enjoy "sleeping with the fishes." Two queen-size sleeper sofas (one upstairs, one down) round out the sleeping arrangements.

Across the bay is the historic Captain Cook monument that marks the place where the famous explorer met his untimely end. Spinner Dolphins visit the bay almost daily, and there is unparalleled snorkeling in this marine sanctuary. After a day of sightseeing or kayaking in the bay, the outdoor shower will wash away the sand along with your cares. The barbeque awaits, as you dine outdoors on the two picnic table as the sun sets on another perfect day in paradise.

Please note that we have a two-week minimum policy for bookings during the Christmas holidays, from December 15 to January 1.

We live on the Big Island but on the East side so, when looking for a place to stay we needed it in the Kealakekua Bay area. This was perfect for us, it was large enough for all and special treat for us, it was almost next door to our granddaughter and her family. The wedding venue was at a Equestrian Center very close. There is a park and of course the bay within walking distance. All in all it was a great place.

We loved this VRBO! The surroundings are beautiful. Short walk to Captain Cook Cove for fantastic snorkeling and other great activities. Our kids loved exploring for geckos and other wildlife. The house had everything we needed and was very spacious, which was important for our big family. It was a great place to come home to for rest and relaxation after a day of Hawaii adventures. We had several online interactions with the host and in all of which she was extremely prompt in responding, very helpful, and kind. Thank you for helping make our first Hawaii experience a great one!

Property was very clean. It's up in the hills on a windy road about 15-20 minutes out of town. We liked that it was a bit out of the way but in a nice way. We walked 10-15 minutes a came to a little well known snorkeling spot. It's a private property that allows access. I has a nice outside patio next to beautiful plants. Overall, a very nice place.đź‘Ť

Our family’s stay at Hale Hanai consisted of three generations - grandparents, adult children, and two grandchildren. There was plenty of room for everyone in the two-level home set in a tropical setting very close to Kealakekula Bay. Everyone enjoyed the stay there. Our host, Susan, was very accommodating and easy to communicate with.

The property was amazing! Both the house and yard were so inviting. Loved the gorgeous landscape and how close we were to the water. The host was wonderful. She knew this was a surprise Christmas gift for our kids and set up a darling Christmas tree inside the home.

This house was in a perfect location for a family looking for adventures on the southwestern side of the island. House was 10 minutes from Two Step Beach and the Place of Refuge, and 2 minutes from the main kayak departure point for Captain Cook. We had a mix of generations and families, so having two stories, two family rooms, and a lower kitchenette in addition to the main kitchen was extremely comfortable for everyone. Everyone found their happy place here, including teens, tweens, grandparents, and parents looking for a quiet lanai for a coffee. The toddler was especially happy, with lots of toys, kid books, a crib, booster seat, and a beautiful yard. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
