Ocean View Condominium Resorts to Rent

"The hosts were awesome. Lots of space and amenities. Good location to take day trips. "

"We wish that we had had more time to take advantage of this lovely home with the amazing views and a small, cozy natural pool. We spent so much time exploring the amazing “Big Island” that we ran out of time! The house was wonderful and we truly felt that we were living the Hawaii life. No AC-no problem with the many fans and ocean breezes. If we ever have the chance to go back, we would definitely stay at Carl and Deb’s Hale. The large kitchen had all we needed and more, to include the pet gecko. We had no idea exactly what the location would be like before we went, but quickly got used to roads and switchbacks. It was like a carnival ride by the end of our too short week and the best part were the spectacular views going up and down . Beds were comfy and the wrap around porch was amazing. Travel time to the National Park wasn’t bad at all. It was about 1 1/2 hours but with the landscape views it goes my quickly. It takes about 15-20 minutes from the house to get up the hill to the main road but again, it was no problem. Next time we go back we want to just stay at the hale and relax, watch the marine life swim by, and the green flash as the sun sets over the horizon. BTW - if you do visit the island, check out the Shaka Guide. We did all 5 of the island tours and found them all very informative and helpful. In closing, we loved this home! "

"The challenge with the property is there are a set of bylaws that renters agree to regarding things like observing quiet hours and no smoking in common areas. We drew the short straw for the bulk of our stay. We had a first floor unit with a group of 4 younger adults directly above us. One of the young women was having some sort of existential crisis that lead the group to sit on their patio and drink and smoke pot from 11:30 pm till after sunup. They were still at when checked out early at 7:30am. Their voices carried half way down the road to the beach. Over the course of 48 hours, we got to hear about how their parents raised them; different sizes/types of blunts; what a terrible person one was by their one admonition; professed devotion (unrequited btw) of going to the end of the earth for a friend; trying same sex relationships; and on and on it went. Then the table on the balcony got knocked over with sound of breaking glass with beer and other liquids pouring of the edge of their balcony. Did we get much sleep? No. If you do stay there make absolutely sure you’re on the top floor. Otherwise it’ll sound like a moving company is overhead."

"This place was incredible. Gregg is an awesome host, so friendly and helpful as a first timer in Hawaii. The views of the ocean are fantastic. "

"Very cool yurt experience. Great place for sitting out under the stars next to the fire table. Fully stocked kitchen and a little bit of everything you could want or need...tons of board games, yoga mats, etc. Plan extra time just for hanging out at the yurt!"

"We loved the comfortable place to stay and tour of this small farm! I would highly recommend it!"

"front desk lady was rude"

"This house was beautiful and peaceful. Everything is as pictured, and Myra was great communicating with throughout our stay. The house was stocked with everything we could want, from cooking materials (pots and pans and spices, etc.) to beach gear, to info on good places to visit on the island. The proximity to Volcanoes Natl Park (about 45 min) made it possible to visit the volcano after it started erupting, and before it stopped again. Folks who had to drive from Kona weren't so lucky. My family had a great time and recommend this house to everyone!"

"Fantastic stay with breathtaking views. Beauty that will leave you breathless. And so clean!"
