Ocean View Chalets

"The room was clean and it is basically like a big tent. It was raining and windy the two nights we were there and it was really loud with the sound of rain hitting the cover and material flapping in the wind. Everything inside felt damp including the sofa. The yurts are built on a rural residential area and there is nothing within walking distance. There is a very very distant view of the ocean if you stand on the property in the right spot. There is no running water inside the Yurt. It has a microwave, fridge, coffee maker, toaster and cooking utensils but no sink. The bathroom and shower is in a separate building a short walk away. The drive from the Yurt to the Volcano National park is an hour and 10 mins away. The advertisement says it is an 8 min drive. The internet wasn't working but it was not a big deal and we purchased a roaming package instead. We are used to camping and roughing it a bit but this yurt fell short of our expectations. "

"Our stay at Hale Kai was absolutely incredible. The view of the water is breathtaking, and falling asleep each night to the sound of waves crashing against the shore was like a natural lullaby. The sunsets were truly spectacular—something we looked forward to every evening.One of our favorite parts of the home was the lanai (Hawaiian-style porch). We spent most of our time there when we weren’t out exploring the island. It was covered, which kept us cool and protected from the sun, and the constant ocean breeze made it the perfect place to relax. We even saw dolphins and whales passing by while sitting out there—such an unforgettable experience!The home itself was perfect for our group of six. The rooms were comfortable and well laid out, and the kitchen had everything we needed. We didn’t use the pool much (just dipped our legs in), but it would be a great option on a hotter day.We also enjoyed exploring the coastline right outside the property, and even had the unique experience of getting fresh-caught fish from a nearby neighbor. The house had great extras like beach chairs, which we used for a day trip and kayaks that we didn't get the chance to use.Mike was fantastic—great communication and he gave us excellent tips on what to see and exactly how to get there, which made our trip even better.If we could have stayed longer, we absolutely would have. We will definitely be back if this place is available again!"

"We loved the property grounds. The dogs were so friendly and we enjoyed picking the fresh fruit from the trees!"

"Beautiful property that is well stocked with extras! The house was accurately listed and the views were stunning. Double washer/dryer was very convenient for our group of 9. We stayed during the Kona Low storm. We made the most of it with island activities and this beautiful, spacious rental. We even got in a little pickleball between rainfalls. Guy was very responsive to all our questions before and during our stay. Would definitely recommend this beautiful property!"

"We had a lovely stay at Myra's blue house. The house was very comfortable. Lovely kitchen that was well stocked. Comfortable rooms. It is actually about an hour to the main visitor center at the National Park. Ocean View had convenient stores, gas, and restaurants. We enjoyed the thai food and grilled local steaks one night."

"This is the perfect place for those who don't want to be around a lot of noisy people. It is a very large home right now the water. The sunsets are spectacular! It was the perfect location to be able to travel to all the renowned beaches (Black Sand, Green Sand, and Pebbles Beach), along with getting to the Volcano National Park within a decent amount of time. The owners are great and very friendly. We are so pleased we got to meet them in person. "

"Ocean was visible. Bathroom is in separate building. Walls are not animal hide but vinyl! Bring drinking water with you, what is available is rain catch with vinyl particles in."

"My family and I loved our stay! Host was very communicative, the property was clean and well taken care of. Good location between things to do on the island. My only suggestion would be to bring ear plugs for the chickens at night . We would 100% stay here again."

" Carl was a wonderful host, immediately taking time to give loads of info to make the best of our stay Kona. The room was beautiful, the lanai facing the water. The breakfast was delicious both mornings we were there.The hosts provided beach towels, lots of beach and snorkeling gear. The only downside was that we were there for just 2 nights! "
