Awesome Ocean/Sunset Views
Escape to the peaceful shores of North Kohala, at the edge of Upolu Point, where the beauty of the Big Island meets the vast Pacific Ocean. Awhalecrossing Cabin is a hidden gem, offering a private oceanview getaway on a secluded coastline. This cozy, charming cabin promises an unforgettable vacation in a tranquil, rural setting.
Nestled in nature, the fully-furnished, 2-bedroom, 1-bath cabin is perfect for couples, families, or small groups, comfortably sleeping up to 5 guests. The downstairs bedroom features a queen-sized bed, while the upstairs bedroom offers both a king bed and a twin bed, making it ideal for families or close friends. The cabin comes with a fully-equipped kitchen, allowing you to prepare meals and enjoy them with the stunning ocean vista as your backdrop.
Relax in the spacious living room or on the screened-in porch, where you can savor the ever-changing views of the sea—watch the waves roll in, the sun setting over the horizon, and, if you're here during whale season (November - April), witness the awe-inspiring humpback whales breaching and singing right from your private lanai.
The cabin's wrap-around deck offers 360-degree views, making it the perfect spot for breathtaking sunsets, mystical moonbows, and the serene soundscape of nature—ocean waves, tropical birds, and the cool breezes. For those who love stargazing, the property's dark sky location offers unparalleled views of the night sky. With little light pollution, you'll be treated to stunning constellations, shooting stars, and even glimpses of distant planets, creating a perfect opportunity for a memorable evening of stargazing.
In winter, watch the dramatic surf roll in from the ocean, as the North Shore of the Big Island is known for some of the most powerful waves on the island. And if you're a fan of scenic vistas, take in the stunning views of Maui’s Haleakalā volcano across the Alenuihāhā channel. On clear days, the sight of the majestic peak is a reminder of the natural wonders that surround you.
Hiking trails abound, and the property is just a short walk to both the ocean and historical sites, including King Kamehameha's birthplace and the ancient Mo'okini Heiau.
While secluded, Awhalecrossing Cabin is conveniently located just 1 mile off Akoni Pule Highway. The charming towns of Hawi and Kapaau are only minutes away, where you'll find dining, galleries, and unique shopping experiences. The world-renowned beaches and resorts of the Gold Coast, including Hapuna and Mauna Kea—regularly ranked among the top 10 beaches in the world—are just a 20-minute drive away. Kona International Airport is 50 minutes by car.
Our "Special Rustic Hawaiian Experience" has been a beloved part of our family for nearly 45 years. With the company of our 2 Golden Retrievers and 2 Golden Doodles, we invite you to experience the magic of our island paradise.
Whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or simply a place to reconnect with nature, Awhalecrossing Cabin is your perfect retreat.
Come for the views, stay for the experience.

About the host
Hosted by Linda Halbritter

My husband, Marty & I have lived here nearly 45 years. Born & raised in Long Beach, CA. We are high school sweethearts. Been married 57 years. We raised 2 sons, lived in Micronesia, lived on a boat in San Pedro, and have now lived here on the Big Island for 45 years. Built our home ourselves with our 2 sons. Invented "Glow in the dark bubbles" ... too much fun. Love & Aloha.
Why they chose this property
This property is special. It's a Hawaiian Experience. Very private in the country side. Only 2 houses on this road. Awesome ocean & sunset views. You can see Maui & Kahoolawe.
What makes this property unique
Very Historical Area. Walking distance to the ocean. Awesome Views! Surrounded by 850 acres of Bishop Estate pasture land. Very Private. Whales give birth in the bay in front of our property... Very Cool!! We have boogie boards, snorkel gear, beach chairs and even suntan lotion so come play. Mahalo...
