The house had everything we needed in order to enjoy our stay. It was very easy to get in and out of the neighborhood, although it was a shame to ever leave, as we were entertained by porpoises, sea turtles, nene's, breathtaking sunrises and amazing surf. The back patio was a great place to start and end each day. The property manager provided many great recommendations for things to do and places to eat in the area.
Very pleasant stay overlooking the ocean. Had everything we needed, good access to Hilo and Volcanoes National Park.Keep the doors closed after sunset (bugs!) and you'll have a great time.
This home is well-appointed and the location is wonderful. The sunrises are spectacular! The property is just as itâs described and we enjoyed our stay. I would absolutely stay here again.
The home is beautiful and situated perfectly for a relaxing vacation. The weather was perfect for walks along the ocean, watching the whales and visiting sites in the area.
We had a lovely stay at this home and enjoyed walks in the neighborhood. The place was well equipped, super clean, and the beds were very comfortable. The views simply cannot not be beat!
Weâve been fortunate to stay in many properties along the cliffs in HPP, and this house ranks in the top 1 or 2 consistently! You have everything you need, plenty of room and views, views, views! I could sit and listen to the the waves, frogs and birds forever.
Extremely comfortable and well equipped. Perched on the lava cliff having morning coffee and evening cocktails on the lanai, simply breathtaking. My only wish is that we could have stayed longer.
We loved the Hale Hale'ai House. It had plenty of room for our family of 5. The house was immaculate and has an awesome view of the ocean. We saw several whales which was a highlight of our vacation.
Our stay was absolutely perfect! We were looking for gorgeous, peaceful, romantic surroundings to celebrate Valentineâs Day and a milestone birthday. âHome By The Seaâ was everything we hoped for as it is outside of the busy crowded tourist areas. Once we learned to look for whales and dolphins we saw them right of the back lanai every day. If you like to hike, there is a little beach with sand and 20 to 30 Sea turtles at the end of a 2 1/2 mile hike on the Puna Trail. Full disclosure, the hike is muddy in spots with lots of rocks but SO worth it!
Spectacular views! Very clean and modern. Great communication with the property manager. Only downside was that the pool was no longer at the property. We would stay again for sure!
We stayed here for our 2nd half of our Big Island trip, after staying in Waikoloa. It was a beautiful. The house was awesome and the views and sounds of the ocean were mesmerizing. We would love to come back and stay again.
We love returning to this amazing gem of a home. The home is situated on the edge of a cliff, absolutely perfect for morning coffee and whale watching. It has everything you need, including extremely comfortable beds, and is extremely clean. We will always return.
We had a great stay at this house. The weather was a bit iffy, so didn't see the sunrise. But amazing house overall. We felt like we were home the minute we stepped in.
I recommend this beach house for adults who wish to get away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist sections of Kona and Hilo. Located in a very nice area right on the coast, so it is lovely to sit out on the back porch and watch the ocean both in the morning and just prior to sunset
We had a great time here! The house was clean and well maintained. The views are amazing. We were able to see sea turtles, dolphins, and whales from the house. Quiet, peaceful, and private. Just what we needed!
Property was better than the listing described. The house was amazing, the view from the lenai was even better. I wish we had stayed longer. Communication with property management was responsive and timely. We canât wait to get away from it all again and stay here.
The views from this house are spectacular. Sitting outside on the lanai with coffee, looking out to the ocean was amazing.
This house had everything we needed. The kitchen is the best equipped in any rental Iâve stayed in. There arenât a lot of restaurants so we stayed in most nights and cooked. We got everything we needed at Malama Market in Pahoa and the farmers market.
I would definitely stay here again!
Excellent property, exactly as described. Nice, quiet neighborhood. Comfortable house. Excellent beds. The only negative is IF you are a late sleeper, the master bedroom has no shades (opens to the water so plenty of privacy) and the early morning sun comes in directly. Other bedroom, very comfortable, is very dark. Definitely will stay again next time in Hilo.
This is one of the most beautiful places Iâve stayed at. We stayed five nights here with our adult children. It was fantastic! The ocean pounding the cliffs outside was so relaxing. The home is immaculate, so clean and well maintained. We had everything we needed and more. Plenty of space and bathrooms for our family. I would definitely recommend this home for your vacation.
My only issue was the size of the swimming pool. We were disappointed that it was so small. In the photos it appears to be large enough for a group to hang out in. But sadly it was a lot smaller than we expected. Itâs a quarter of the size it appears to be.
