Oceanside Oasis

The house was beautiful, comfortable, peaceful, and convenient location. We had beach towels and beach equipment for use during our stay. The place had everything we could need for our vacation. Would definitely stay again!

Heaven on Earth

This home is exactly what is described on the website. Fantastic Ocean front oasis. Beautifully remodeled. Fantastic view from every room in the house. There was even a Sea Turtle in the tide pools in front of the home when we arrived. We will definitely stay here again. 10 out of 10 !

Location location location

Beautiful location! No complaints other than air conditioning which we knew in advance. On the hot nights we had to sleep in the room that has the air cooler in it. So about 40% of time we had to sleep in that room other nights were in the master listening to the waves. We had a great time. Hope to be back some day. Thank you

Amazing Location on the Water

Overall we had a great stay at this property. Location is amazing right on the water. You can see whales and turtles right from the balcony. Also very close to downtown Kona and several beaches nearby. Views of the water are fantastic from kitchen and bedroom and massive balcony. Nice open lot next door too with hammocks, chairs and grill. Appreciated access to all the snorkel equipment and beach gear. Only downside is no air conditioning. The owner told us in advance so no problem and it was OK in February but would not want to be there in the summer months with no air. Great property that we thoroughly enjoyed.

Perfect Family Paradise!

This rental was absolutely paradise for our family! From the moment we arrived, we knew we had found something truly special. The master bedroom was spacious and the fragrant plumeria tree just outside was a special way to savor morning coffee. The second guest bedroom was also great size, although if anyone is taller than 5’6 (which all my kids are) the additional 2 twins upstairs in the loft area are a bit snug, but workable. The outdoor living space was the crown jewel of this property. It was picturesque and functional — with seating options, two relaxing hammocks, an outdoor shower (although we didn’t end up using it bc it was shutoff) and the grill! Not only was it beautiful and tranquil, but it offered wonderful flexibility with both sunny and shaded areas throughout the day. We found ourselves spending most of our time outside, taking advantage of every option available. The rocky shoreline and tide pools provided endless exploration opportunities that captivated us each day. And the sunsets left us absolutely speechless. They were the kind of magical moments that photos simply can’t capture.We genuinely hated to leave this slice of paradise. This vacation has created lasting memories for our entire family that will be treasured for years to come. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!! It’s going to be hard to top this stay in future vacations!

Best Stay Ever - Beautiful Luxury Home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family loved everything about this amazing home. The location was ideal with the shoreline in your own backyard making snorkeling and fishing so accessible. We could enjoy the spectacular ocean views outside sitting in the lanai or relaxing in the backyard hammocks and also from indoors. It was conveniently located to enjoy the west coast and central enough to be able to take day trips to Hilo and Volcanoes National Park. Check-in was easy with Hunter meeting us to walk us through the property. He was quick to respond with any questions we had including suggestions on things we could do on the island. The home was very clean and well stocked and offered so much space for our family of 5. This was by far our favorite rental ever!

Beautiful location- superior service

We had a great time staying at this house! From reading the reviews it seems it might get an upgrade in 2023 but I want to say it was super clean and comfortable to stay there. The location is perfect for doing all the awesome activities the coast has to offer while being a little ways out of the busy part of town. Most importantly, we arrived in a storm, and we lost power at some point the next afternoon. Kealin was in contact with us immediately to check if we knew where the flashlights were and even brought battery operated candles to us! Fortunately power was restored in a few hours (the ocean outside the house was wild and wonderful to watch during the storm!) and we enjoyed the rest of our stay. Kitchen was well stocked with supplies and plenty of recommendations in the guest book. Enjoy!

A beautiful property! Definitely recommend if you can handle the heat.

This was a beautiful property to stay at. We absolutely enjoyed our time here and would most definitely stay here again. That being said, let me explain my ratings. I rated the cleanliness of the property as a 4 instead of 5 was simply because of the smell within the property. There was a stranger sewer type smell which must just come with the location. That being considered, I would still stay here again because it was such a perfect place to stay otherwise. I rated the accuracy of the listing as a 3 because the listing stated it had air conditioning, only to find the air conditioning was broken. There were 2 portable units installed, but the home still got up to 88 degrees every afternoon which was more than a bit uncomfortable. Come early morning the temperature in the house got down to 73 degrees which made it so sleeping was fine thank heavens. I rated the location/neighborhood as a 4 because although it is an extremely convenient location, it is right off a very busy street. There were a few nights where the street noise was bothersome, but understandably this comes with having a convenient location. So all-in-all I gave the property a rating of 4 mostly due simply to the lack of air conditioning. Other than that the home was beautiful, the furnishings beautiful, the landscaping beautiful, the kitchen very well stocked, the amenities provided (like snorkel gear, etc) fantastic, the property manager very attentive… really (besides the air conditioning) a perfect place to stay and would definitely recommend as long as you can handle the afternoon heat.

Exceptional views

When me and my new husband walked through the door of this enchanted original Hawaiian home we were in aww….very spacious, open layout…giant windows with ocean views in every room. Step out onto the patio to find your favorite place to chill and watch and listen to the waves. So many cute nooks to relax in around the large outdoor area. Be sure to make your way to the tide pools where there’s so many fish and little living creatures…it mesmerizes you. Easy access to the main strip to go shopping and explore Kona. They have everything you need from plenty of towels, cooking needs…lots of spices first aid…soaps, body wash beach chairs etc. we enjoyed ourselves thorough here and would go back. Our only minor complaint was at the time of our stay the air conditioning was not working and although they did have plenty of fans and two standing cooling units…it wasn’t nearly enough to cool the place down. At times it was unbearable…it was hard to escape the heat but we did after a bit. Please don’t let this discourage your stay….everything else about this beautiful place is definitely worth the stay.

Location is great! Sunsets every night!

This property had the best location I’ve ever had. Mornings and evenings were really glorious. The only issue, and we were pre-warned, was that the AC was being replaced in 2023. Even with the single AC units, it got pretty toasty in the late afternoon. But the views and location more than made up for that.

Magical place, I hope to return

This is an amazing property/home! Being right on the ocean provides opportunities to snorkel right in front of the house (enter on the side); enjoy turtles in the tidal pool eating seaweed; relax by day and enjoy the sunset and stars each evening. The photos accurately capture the property, however understate the whole: the property is 2-3 times as wide as surrounding properties providing lots of space and privacy. Classic architecture. Nice touches in the garden and interior. Great location for trips to explore all HI. Well appointed kitchen and convenient to restaurants or delivery. You may want to check with owners on the status of the AC for MBR. Owners are working towards a complete upgrade of systems in 2023. All in all an amazing place. I hope to return.

Amazing place!!!

Location, location, location!! My husband really wanted to rent a house by the water, I was apprehensive since the house looked dated but I was wrong the house has a great vibe and the lanai is spectacular! So much space inside and out!!! Great place to watch the sunset!!!We are really sad to leave this place, we hope to be back soon!!!

Awesome house and location…. A little rough around the edges

Overall, this is a very good, well apportioned property in a superior location. Pros: - Location!!! Amazing spot right on the water - Full compliment of beach gear including goggles, snorkels, towels, chairs, etc - Close to beaches and shops and mid-point to southern destinations - Lots of space - Beautiful lanai and outdoor spaces - Parking - Well stocked kitchen Cons: - A/C was under construction and replaced with 2 pretty ineffective portable units. Master bedroom was a stuffy hot experience and coming home in the afternoon the family room was 89 degrees. Owner said to open all doors and windows but that could only do so much in August. For a house with A/C in the listing, this was pretty unacceptable. We were only notified of this 3 days before our arrival (almost a month after they took our last nonrefundable payment). Ceiling fan in the family room was also broken. So hot and ultimately we were glad to leave. - Interior described as “rustic”, but just a bit dated and brown / dusty

An amazing vintage beach house!

This stay was amazing. Mahalo Hale Kale! Gorgeous views, amazing lanai and multiple outdoor areas. Snorkeling access outside the house was the best. Hale Kale had everything we needed. Boogie boards, snorkeling gear, towels etc were all available. It was amazing to go to sleep to the sound of the ocean each night. I brought my family here after living here12 years ago. They all loved it! It was great to be back!

Stunning view, amazing property!

We fell in love with this home! The photos don’t do the yard and view justice. We enjoyed watching the waves in the morning and exploring the amazing tide pools, and lying in the hammocks watching the stars at night. We had an issue with the air conditioner units, and the owner and manager responded well. We loved the location, and the private feel of the home. We hope to return sometime in the future!

The location of this home is stunning!!

Being right on top of the water was the most exhilarating experience ever!! Did not have to go anywhere some days because we were living on the ocean The home is vintage with its unique quirks and a definite island feel. The property manager as well as the owner were extremely helpful and receptive to our needs. You will never forget staying at Hale Kalle.

Great location

Our family loved staying at Hale Kale. It was in such a centralized location, had an amazingly big backyard, access to tide pools, and it was amazing having such a close view of the ocean. The kitchen had all the amenities we needed (i.e. condiments, pots, cutting boards, etc) and we really appreciated the various sizes of booties, the boogie boards, and plenty of towels, shampoo, soap, and toilet paper. Laury was very responsive to all my questions. I highly recommend this place and hope to return again some day.

We’ll Definitely Be Back!

Staying at Kahaluu Bay home was what made our vacation relaxing. Our favorites were the views, location, spacious relaxing yard, water accessibility, snorkel accessories and size of home. The home is a bit dated, but very clean and spacious. Our teenagers enjoyed the smart tv too! Gave us a real feel for Kona as a local.

Simply wonderful!

With 150 feet of shoreline and ocean views from every room, this beautiful Hawaiian mid century modern home was perfect for our vacation. Generously and thoughtfully appointed with an amazing property manager, Kealin, we had everything we needed. There are 5 outdoor seating areas to lounge, sit, dine or serve as a departure point for exploring the tide pools below. There’s no better place to stay on the Kona side.
