Honoka’a's Best!

My three adult children, spouses, and I enjoyed a wonderful stay at this house. It was exactly as described: isolated, welcoming, relaxing. The large lanai was ideal for sipping morning coffee while watching the ocean. We enjoyed meals and playing cards at the large dining table. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was spacious, and everything was very clean. Bring earplugs as the roosters and cows are noisy before 5 AM. There is no ceiling fan in Bedroom #4.

Delightful

Our experience at Hale Luna was truly delightful. The house offered ample space, a breathtaking view, a peaceful neighborhood, and was equipped with everything necessary for our comfort. The hosts went above and beyond, regularly checking in on us to ensure our needs were met and providing valuable recommendations for local attractions and dining options. We couldn't have asked for a better stay.

Authentic Hawaii

Hale Luana offers a beautiful ocean view located in a peaceful setting, away from the bustle of town. The pastoral sounds of cows, roosters, dogs, and geckos are part of its charm. This unique home offers spacious living quarters and a well-equipped, full kitchen. Our hosts were very helpful, attentive, and offered good advice about local sights. Mahalo!

Great experience

Overall, we had a great time at Hale Luana. The lanai is fabulous and we spent a lot of time out there watching the waves, listening to the cows and chickens nearby and gazing at the stars. The house is just as listed . Very spacious and comfortable. Communication with the onsite caretakers was excellent! Hope to visit again in the future.

A true "out of the way" gem on the Big Island

I have been to Hawaii over 60 times and I wanted to stay away from it all and have a different Big Island experience and this lovely home did not disappoint. This house was one of the most well stocked VRBO's I have ever stayed in and I have stayed in countless. The location was isolated and perfect with a beautiful lanai to take it all in. Our host could not have been more communicative and helpful. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a truly special Hawaiian paradise location away from the hustle and bustle and yet close to Waimea, Waipio and Hilo. 5 stars all around.

Peaceful escape

This house is amazing!! While it was further out of Waimea than anticipated it was a blessing! Big family dinners each night. Coffee on the Lanai every morning with the light drizzle, breeze and ocean view. House is well appointed from kitchen to beach towels and toys ( no need to pack this stuff). The rooms are all so comfortable with fans and/or screen doors for fresh air. 45 minutes to Holland an hour to Kona it is perfectly placed. Stay here — you will not regret it😀

Nice house near Honokka

Our group of 5 adults was happy with the house. The house was clean and well-equipped and was adequately separated from the neighboring houses. The listing was accurate about the amenities and layout. There are a lot of roosters and other animals in the neighborhood so there was a lot of crowing, and mooing and barking and chirping in the very early morning. However, we adapted to the sound after a couple of days.

14 days in Paradise!

We wanted to get away from the harsh Boston winter and thought of trying something different as it was our first visit to Big Island. This house did not disappoint, pictures in the listing did not do it justice. The house is beautiful! Clean and well stocked with every amenity you can imagine. The open plan living room/dining area is furnished with high end teak furniture, modern and clutter free. The kitchen looked like it was from a magazine. The expansive Lanai with ocean views stretched across the width of the house. Each of the end master bedrooms had french doors opening to the lanai, We slept with the doors open all night, lulled by the sound of ocean waves. It was the best nights’ sleep ever! We woke to the crows of roosters and the moos of cows. The pantry was well stocked with spices and basics, anything else needed was a short drive to Foodland in the next town of Waimea. We were happy that James, the host and caretaker was a text away. He lives in the unit below and whenever we needed anything he would appear with it. He is a delight to talk to, very knowledgeable about the area. We did day trips to Volcano Park, Waipio Valley, had a fancy dinner at Merriman’s, Hawaiian cowboy BBQ at Fish and Hog and malasadas at Tex-Drivein. The historic town of Honokaa is 10 minutes away, we loved the little museum. Farmers’ markets and Wednesdays and Saturdays are a must see. All in all the house is a way to experience true Hawaii. We are making plans to come back next winter.

Christmas Paradise

My family and I had the trip of a life time at the Hale Luana property. Louise and James the property managers tended to our every need. We got to experience the beauty of the Big Island right from the beautiful balcony that has great views of the ocean. The home is equipped with all of your needs, including a great grill and every kitchen utensil and cookware that you will need for your stay. The home is extremely spacious and throughout the day when the windows and patio doors are open you can feel the breeze from the ocean. The community was so inviting and even gave us local fruits and avocados to eat. I could go on and on, but this property is a must, especially if you want to enjoy the beauty of the Big Island. Can't wait to return. Carla

Great area, beautiful location and Home, simply the best people!

This is Nancy and my second trip to Honokaa. We love this small town for its charm, slow pace and kind people. If you like fast, traffic and lots of people stay in Kona. This is the perfect location from which to explore the island, fifty minutes to charming Hilo, just over an hour to Kona and you are close to Waipio Valley and many beautiful waterfalls and vibrant nature trails. Hale Launa is a beautiful home. You would think that the owners just stepped out for a few days and have left you with all the goodies necessary to feel at home and at ease. This house is perfectly appointed, large and spacious, and has a wonderful lenai from which you can enjoy beautiful scenery and the ocean. We saw whales twice will here. Louise is incredible, she is unobtrusive and out of sight, yet responsed quickly to any questions you may have. Treat yourself. Enjoy the local food, people, beauty and beautiful Hale Launa.

We had a wonderful stay at Hale Luana. It was restful & generally quiet. That was much appreciated. The house was well-equipped and all on one level. The kitchen was amazing. The Lani and view are amazing. Every room just called for you to spend time there. A sitting area just off the entrance became my wife's favorite location for her craft work. I used one end of the dinning table to set up my laptop and the files I brought to work on. The view out to the ocean will capture you attention. We watched three whales linger in the area and performed their courtship frolic. You are an hour's drive away from Akaka Falls and two world-class botanical gardens. In the other direction you have the isolated Waipio Valley. Having James & Louise nearby available for questions or assistance is a big plus for this property. If you have an issue or need it gets address promptly. When we return to this corner of Hawaii we intend to stay here again.

Beautiful House

The house is beautiful and does not lack in amenities. The kitchen is well stocked and provides any tool you may desire. The library is stocked with a great variety of books and games which was a pleasure to puruse. The abundant nature sounds are intriguing yet the house offers enough of a barrier to sleep soundly. The bed was very comfortable. Unfortunately the cleanliness was disappointing. The house looks/is a bit neglected with many small maintenance items needing attention. When I pointed out the concern about the cleanliness to the caretaker she was more than helpful and recalled the cleaner. Also some of the maintenance items were addressed. She also assured me that the stained bedroom carpet was just waiting the arrival of the new carpets and will be replaced. The property is lovely however has been left to go wild as the grass was uncut and the yard around the hot tub is un-kept. With all this said the house ticked all the boxes for a quiet and natural Hawaiian vacation.

Wonderful Family Getaway!

Our family had a great time at Hale Luana - we felt right at home when walked in. The layout/floor plan was perfect for us as we wanted 4 separate and private bedrooms. The marble bathrooms, especially the master bath felt luxurious, with endless hot water, which we all loved. Beds were so comfortable that a couple of us didn't want to get up! The kitchen had everything we needed, even a juicer for the oranges and tangerines we picked. We ate breakfast on the lanai, and when we didn't eat out, had dinner inside at a huge table. We took advantage of the light dimmers, CD collection and had meals we'll always remember. The town of Honokaa is only about 5 minutes away and is really charming with wonderful shops and galleries that aren't typical 'tourist traps', a number of really good restaurants, a small, but well stocked grocery store and even an old time movie theatre that shows first run movies and also has live concerts. We learned it's called the Big Island for a reason. Long drives to everywhere, but the amazing scenery and changing landscapes and climates made every excursion an adventure. Best of all, we got to enjoy it all from Hale Luana! We're planning to come back next year, stay a lot longer because we didn't want to leave.
