About this property

Hale Lani ~ Big Island Charmer with Panoramic Ocean Views ~ Near Best Beaches

  • This solar powered single family home is located on the coast in the foothills of hawaii island’s oldest volcano, Kohala mountain, with views of the coastline and ocean. This beautifully appointed home is conveniently located in the historic neighborhood of Kawaihae Village. Set along the Kawaihae road, Hale Lani is a five-minute drive from some of the highest-rated beaches in the world: Mauna Kea, Hapuna beach state park and Waialea bay. Equally close are restaurants known for prize-winning fine dining in an outdoor setting. A scenic drive from Kawaihae harbor up the coast takes you to the charming town of Hawi, with prime whale viewing along the way during the winter months. The interesting and beautiful town of Waimea is just 15 minutes drive up the mountain where guests enjoy the many shopping and sightseeing options.

Another lovely vacation

Second trip to Hawai’i, second time staying at Hale Lani. We love the location of and the view from this house. It’s well-equipped: beach umbrellas, beach chairs, fluffy beach towels, good kitchen, grill, outdoor seating, and a smart tv if you want to watch something other than the sunsets. Aloha Nicole and Nick, thanks for sharing the house with us!

Comfort, Convenience and Relaxation

Attention to detail! The hosts thought of literally everything you could possibly want or need to make their place your home away from home. Notables: Central AC, comfy beds, fully stocked kitchen, thick towels, huge bathtub and walk-in shower, full size washer/dryer located in utility room that looks like a closet (next to sliding patio doors). Excellent food and drinks at Seafood Bar & Grill 1 mile away. Very prompt communication with hosts, who were super nice. Also, they won’t add extra junk fees to your stay like corporate condo rentals do!

Very clean and great location!

Loved how clean and well stocked the rental was. The beach umbrellas and chairs they provided were super helpful. Beautiful oceans views (just don’t expect a lush tropical landscape, this is the dry side of the island). 5-15 minutes away from lots of awesome beaches. Hosts were great with communication and provided lovely touches like a bottle of wine, freshly baked bread and a bag of coffee. And only 15 minute drive to cute town of Waimea. Only downsides are a bit of traffic noise, master bathroom doesn’t have a door and a few ants (but the hosts were upfront about it and they leave as soon as fast as they appear)

Divine

Hale Lani delivered on all the must haves for our vacation. The location was ideal for access to the beach, sunrises and sunsets from the patio, exceptionally comfortable living space and amenities. We’ve stayed in many vacation rentals and this one truly checks all the boxes, from little things like dishwasher soap and trash bags to the bigger box which is it”feels” like your best friends house. The decor is truly island based which adds to the aesthetic-so much better than the functional but vanilla condo complexes. Host was very responsive - no issues at all. Very clean and definitely a kitchen you can cook in. Will highly recommend to friends headed to the Big Island.

Evenings of sunsets and BBQ's

We had an absolutely wonderful stay. Nicole and Nicholas went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and well supplied in the house. All of the little details that make the difference were handled. We arrived very late in the evening to a fresh loaf of bread and butter, a bottle of wine, and coffee beans for the morning. What a joy for a late flight. The view on the lanai is to die for and the proximity to the beaches is wonderful. We have been doing VRBO rentals on the Big Island for the last 7 years and this was the best rental we have stayed at for both the property and the hosts. Thank you - we plan to return!

We loved staying here. The home was comfortable and quiet - yes there is highway noise but we were not bothered by it - we all slept better than we have in months! The beds were super comfortable and having the air conditioning to keep us cool at night was wonderful. The central air really is a game changer for night time and not that common in Hawaii, in my experience. The home was stocked with every pot, pan and utensil we could have needed, including a rice cooker that we used almost every day. Tupperware also! We fired up the grill one night and that was fabulous. The kitchen is kind of separate from where the TV is which was great for grownups cooking and chatting while the kids watched tv. I was trying to make a mental list of all the exceptional things about this place when I was there, because I was so appreciative of things like loads of bath towels (good, decent sized soft towels!) and great water pressure. The water got hot fast and worked well when both showers were in use. Unlike my own house! Haha. The patio was so wonderful - we sat out there for many meals. The plumeria tree gave us flowers every day and the kids loved watching the anole and the birds. Incredible view. We used the beach toys, cooler and beach towels daily. It was so great to have those things available to us! Overall the home has such a comfortable vibe, it's well decorated and there were many sweet touches all around the home, including in the yard. The hosts were awesome communicators.

This was the most spotless and well-stocked vacation rental we have ever visited. The hosts left us a warm welcome and responded to any questions we had within minutes. I’m usually not a good sleeper on trips, but crashed out in one of the very comfortable beds and woke up to some tropical bird outside. We loved Kona coffee on the lanai, looking at the ocean, grilling and getting to the beach in five minutes. Kawaihae Harbor is also just a mile down the road and the food at the seafood grill was fantastic. This location is perfect. Bonus - the house has a massage chair and beautiful walk-in shower. Perfect experience, really great value, and we will definitely be back!

Beautiful Hale Lani sits close enough to the ocean that you can see waves break at Mau Mai beach. The owners stock everything from fresh olive oil to beach gear. We love the comfy beds and the yard at sunset. Hale Lani has central air, a rarity in Hawaii, and is always cool. This house should cost a thousand dollars a night, but doesn’t, so we come year after year. Aloha until next summer!

We had a great visit with easy access to the Kohala beaches. The backyard has a great view of the ocean with plenty of seating where we could read our books, drink cold beverages and not have to compete with crowds. We would love to stay here again.

This place was immaculately clean, spacious and wonderfully decorated. We loved the location- just 5 minutes from Hapuna and 15 minutes from Waimea and 30 minutes from Kona. Lovely private back yard to sun bath in and look at the stars at night. Owners are lovely and communicative. We will be back!

This was a good find for our honey moon. We had a fully stocked and clean house. The view was exactly what we were looking for. We wanted coast and Mountain View both and we got it. It’s 39 miles to the top of Mouna Loa beautiful views with sunsets. The traffic noise was a bit disappointing the first day then we got used to it and it didn’t bother us anymore.

During the wettest and windiest time spent on BI, this property had everything we needed & more. We cooked all our meals at home in a gourmet kitchen with all amenities. The central location is perfect for exploring with terrific access to the ocean. Loved it!
