Excellent

This house was very comfortable and clean. The location right next to the ocean, listening and watching the waves crash against the rocks was wonderful. The owner was great and very helpful when we asked, always responded to any question.

50th

Daniel is very helpful with suggestions for beaches, restaurants and other activities. We were there for our 50th wedding anniversary and the house was in a laid back area with great ocean and shorelines visuals that we enjoyed immensely.

Truly on the Edge of the Ocean

Comfortable and spacious lodging. Perfect for ending our month-long visit to the Big Island. The sounds of the waves was hypnotic. I needed internet to teach and, despite the remote area, was teaching kids on the mainland. You need to be a bit rwith all my tech.

Great place to unwind!

12 glorious days of sun, fishing, utter relaxation, and an 800 foot lava fountain to put the cherry on top! Hale Hokulani was equipped with everything we needed. View is breathtaking & the hubby enjoyed catching our dinner right outside. All the sliding glass doors and ceiling fans keeps the house nice and cool. There was an internet outage that covered a large portion of the island and Daniel was great about keeping us updated on the status. You are about an hour from Kona & two hours from Hilo. Perfect if you want to do some day trips. Besides the lava tower, watching our niece's halau win top honors at Merrie Monarch made the trip priceless! Mahalo Daniel, we will be back. Aloha, A Hui Hou!

Beautiful Spot Away from the City

The location of this house on the lava rock cliffs overlooking the ocean is amazing. The sound of the waves day/night, and the beautiful blue water is something we enjoyed every day. The location is a bit (45 minutes) out of Kona, so if you don't want to drive much, this probably isn't for you. We enjoyed the winding drive in and out of the neighborhood. The neighborhood itself was very quiet and peaceful. The house is nice with lots of little perks (spices, ample outdoor seating, etc.). The furnishings aren't fancy but are fine. If you are looking for a 5-star hotel, this isn't it, but if you are looking for a quaint, lovely place on the ocean, we would definitely recommend this rental.

Wonderful experience

We were looking for someplace away from the crowds that was peaceful and quiet and that’s exactly what we found at this property. On the water edge with access to snorkeling just down the road. Neighborhood is exceptionally quiet, which was wonderful. The host was easily accessible and provided plenty even information about the house and the area.

Great Property

This is a great house in a great location. It is a little further out from the "tourist" areas but if you are looking for peace and quiet and a home right on the coast, i highly recommend staying here!

Nice and remote

The host was great and the house nice and clean. If you want remote with lots of stars and quiet by the ocean then this is great. About 45 minutes from the world but not an issue for us. If you need civilization then maybe not for you.

Beautiful views. Saw some whales!

Property was very nice. We saw whales in the bay. Sunsets were phenomenal. Drive in was a little crazy, but once there, it was beautiful. We were out most of the day, so it wasn't a big deal, but there was active construction going on next door during our visit. Also, the mosquitoes were no joke. Strongly recommend bringing both spray and candles if you plan on eating outside.

Nice house at the shore

Nice house located at the tip of the shore. Great for family with couple kids. Location is a bit far from most attractions but this is exactly what we wanted. The coast is rocky and rough. So the property does not have safe water access. But HOA water access is couple of minutes walk from the house.

Great family vacation

We enjoyed our stay at the oceanfront house. The ocean view was amazing. The house was clean and fully stocked. The beds were very comfortable. The location was great. We found a great snorkeling area in the nearby Honomalino beach. We had the entire beach to ourselves. We enjoyed our morning hikes to the lava rock field at the end of the street. The star gazing was amazing. During our stay, it was very hot and humid. The fans and windows were inadequate to cool down the house at night. We wished the house had covered patios in the back to enjoy the house in the afternoon. Overall we enjoyed our peaceful stay and recommended this home to our friends.

Zen

The property was perfect. Spacious, clean and amazing front water views. The property is a bit close to water for small children but I had my kids run around mainly without shoes and they did not dare to step on the rocks! There is an awesome paved patio the kids enjoyed time on and of course inside the residence running back and forth! Only tiny complaint would be the drive down and up the main street to get there. It’s a good 10 minute drive of steep turns and curves but totally worth the views. Thank you for having us!

Oceanfront retreat

Was a great choice for our stay in Hawaii! The oceanfront views were a spectacular way to start and end our days, soaking in the beauty of the morning sunrise and the amazing sunsets right over the water. The home was very spacious and well cared for. With no shade and no AC there were times it got rather warm, however we used this time to explore and enjoy the island. Dan is great, he provided a lot of information that was helpful during our stay; both in regards to the house and around the island. With a just a short walk we were able to access the ocean for some morning snorkeling; the access however, even with the steps, can be a bit tricky as the steps can be slick and the waves crashing in. Overall it’s an excellent home and would definitely stay here again!

soothing waves

We had been in a VRBO two houses down - 9 yrs ago so knew all about the area - no surprizes except the new housing . Loved watching the waves and going to sleep with doors open and waves crashing in. Away from the city and quiet nights is what we want. Adequet internet and TV for those few lazy days. Place is spacious comfortable and clean. What else does anyone need? The skinny dipping teenagers a couple houses down one afternoon were a bonus. Kona is an hour way on a winding road, but that was well known to us and is not a problem as we dont care to visit the city we went the other direction mostly and visited the wilds.

Away from the Madding Crowd

One of a kind, hear the ocean, surrounded by the lava landscape.... Yes, the place could use some updates, and it is quite a ways from stores and restaurants. But the place is huge and the kitchen is outfitted so you can cook up a storm. If you want to feel like you are in a retreat and be so close to the ocean, that you can fall asleep to the sound of the ocean, then this is the place for you. There are nearby farms and fruit is available fresh from the stands in the neighborhood. Beaches close by, one you can hike to and usually just you or one or two other people. There were dolphins in the bay when we went. Hard to beat.

Cute little place away from everything

Great spot….beautiful ocean view. Has everything you’ll need. Although it states they have things like shampoos and body soap. There was none…except for what maybe someone accidentally left from previous stay. Hosts are incredibly nice….communication with them is awesome. We ran out of a couple things and they got it to us super fast! Just an important fyi to anyone wanting to travel a bunch into Kona and such. This cute and quiet place is an hour away. And the road down to this really cute neighborhood and place is extremely winding…and at times nerve wracking…..especially in the dark. If you don’t mind the drive…this place is a sweet gem! And….the sunsets are out of this world!!
