Beautiful remote location on the water

We rented this home as a landing spot for our daily excursions. The house is right on the water, so sunsets and dolphin watching was spectacular. We wished there was easier access to the water for swimming and snorkeling, but we were able to get in the water via other beaches.

South Kona Paradise

The view of Hale Kai second to none! 3 mile road to the house a little tricky to navigate but well worth it once you arrive. The house was accurately described in the listing. Beautiful quiet neighborhood with a great salt pepper beach 5 min drive 20 min hike away. Plan your groceries ahead of time since the nearest grocery store is 40 minutes away. We are Looking forward to coming back to Hale Kai!

Amazing Views

This location was amazing for views and enjoying the sound and view of the ocean! The house was amazing with all the amenities needed for a week stay. Would recommend having a 4x4 to get to the property. It is not an easy drive to get to neighborhood and is very intimidating the first time you drive it. The drive is worth the views from the house and the lava cliffs tbat are just amazing and serene. Definitely recommend staying here!

Amazing!

We lived this property! The view cannot be beat! You can hear the waves crashing against the sea walls and it’s just magical! There is so much to explore just off site! Our kids had a blast exploring the lava sea cliffs and playing in the tide pools. The neighborhood is quiet, peaceful and safe. We enjoyed having our breakfasts and dinners out in the balcony and the kids loved the soak pool. I would absolutely stay here again!

Lorimer Family Reunion

We loved being right on the water and going to sleep with the sound of waves breaking on the nearby shore. While the house is remote from the centre of Kona tourism, the isolation is a great benefit to rest and relaxation.

Breathtaking Ocean View

Quiet Location except for the unending ocean sounds! Beautiful view of the ocean and surrounding area. Loved seeing whales from the deck. The house has definitely rooms with views. Would have loved curtains that fully closed. Visitors to the open lava area next to the house made us a bit uneasy at night.

Wonderful stay at this amazing ocean front property!

The sound of the surf and the view from the lanai were magical. The house was bright and full of ocean breezes with lots of space and delightful artwork. Our host was excellent with a great list of suggested visit activities. Top notch getaway! Our only regret was not booking it for a longer stay.

Nice quiet neighborhood

The house was quiet and comfortable and right on the water- we saw whales every day and dolphins too. We were looking to escape the crowds and tourists and this was a great place to do just that. The lack of AC didn’t bother us and the property manager and house keeper were very helpful.

Lovely home with unparalleled views and vibes. Amazing water, night skies, and home. So peaceful falling asleep to the sound of the waves when you can pull yourself away from the stars to go to sleep. Great host. Great island. Great home. Mahalo

Very nice and relaxing, a little to far off the main road for us, but still enjoyed. Should’ve talked to property manager about trail to beach never did find one, it’s very hot walking around on the lava. Beautiful sunsets.

Only the sound of crashing surf.

This is out of the way in a quiet neighborhood end of the road location. Very relaxing Hawaiian experience. You can get into the ocean to snorkel and swim, but it’s not a beach. House is roomy and a great kitchen. I would recommend.

Amazing

Couldn't have asked for a more perfect vacation house, the view was breathtaking, each room had its own paradise view, went to sleep with the sound of the ocean and waking up to Paradise. Very clean and well maintained. Our family enjoyed it very much, will definitely be talking about this house for years to come and hope to revisit again. -Mahalo-

Excellent property!

We couldn't say enough about this property and really enjoyed our stay here. The pool was cold so we didn't use it and the only other suggestion is to ensure you are prepared and have what you need. It is a drive to get to the nearest stores, but once you have what you need, staying here is just amazing. The waves, views, sunsets and all is just as advertised. Excellent walking along the rocks/coast close to the property and would advise to have some good hiking boots, or gymshoes at the least. Not for sandals. The rest is just amazing!

Paradise on the point!

So glad we chose this beautiful home for our trip to Hawaii. The house is exactly as it is described. Comfy and cozy inside, and being literally right at the waters edge makes the wrap around deck sublime for sunsets! Jumping off the cliff was a blast. The road down from the hwy is no joke, but the location was great for visiting both sides of the island. We all agreed we would come back!

Highly recommended

We enjoyed every minute of our stay here. From beautiful sunsets to thunderstorms out on the ocean in the evening. In November the temperature was perfect for us, even if it was raining on the highway it would still be sunny and warm down by the water. The volcano erupted while we were there giving us a great view of the evening glow from a safe distance! Everything you would expect from a beachfront house.

Fantastic Home, Location, Views and Hosts!

It would be an understatement to say that we were happy with our experience at Hale Kai. The location is away from the hustle and hassle of the resort area(s) to the north but close (enough) to amenities like gas, groceries, and just about anything else you might want to do while on the Big Island. The home itself is in great shape, well appointed and the hosts - local and away - are very responsive and accommodating. The proximity to the ocean is perfect, sleeping and waking to the sights and sounds of the ocean is the only way to visit. Look forward to returning!

Spectacular views of the ocean, sealife & the stars!

Our family were overwhelmed by this property! Amazing accommodations for all 5 of us. The trip to/from Kona was longer than I expected so Plan B went into place which was purchasing more food at Costco than we originally planned so we could stay in for more meals. We watched whale, bottlenose dolphin, spinner dolphin & fish right from the lanai. Simply amazing experience!

Views were incredible!

Hale Kai has a view of the ocean that is absolutly beautiful! The sounds of waves are heard in every room. The house is well stocked making it feel like home. The drive down to the house is not for the faint of heart and great if you don't go up and down ever day.

Beautiful Location, Nice Home, Quiet and Relaxing

A bit remote and the drive from the belt highway is challenging, but once you're there you are really at land's end. We saw spinner dolphins, a few mongooses, did some ocean kayaking, and made the difficult walk to the beautiful, almost private black sand beach to the south. A good location for the drive to South Point, and a good starting point for the trip to Volcano National Park, though the park was closed during our visit because of ongoing volcanic activity.

Away from it all!!

Amazing place to unwind and observe the wonders of the big island. Whale watching from the deck, watching the tropical fish from the cliff, seeing the storms roll in…loved every second of it!! This place is just what I was looking for…solitude…calm…listening to the ocean waves…doesn’t get better. Just know it takes an effort to get there and your going to drive awhile but if seeing the real, rugged big island is what you want and to get away from people for awhile…this is an amazing place!!
