About this property

Hawaii Life Rentals Presents Hale Honu

Welcome to your private oasis on the east side of the Big Island. The first thing you will notice are the breathtaking ocean views, picturesque palms, and refreshing sea breeze - Hawaii’s natural air conditioner! A covered lanai offers the ideal location to experience the quintessential sights, sounds, and smells of the island. Enjoy an oceanfront morning coffee or afternoon cocktail at the comfortable outdoor table and chairs. A BBQ is also available for an afternoon of grilling and dining outside!

An inviting living area greets you upon arrival with cozy furnishings. Snuggle up on the comfy sofa and enjoy a movie night at home on the large, flatscreen TV with cable and high-speed internet. Spectacular ceilings tower high overhead featuring an open design to promote airflow and circulation.

A spacious kitchen provides the family-chef with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, ample lightning, and a lovely garden-view window. Fully-equipped with everything you need to feel right at home including all cooking equipment and utensils, microwave, coffee maker, and generous storage space. Bar stools are situated at the countertop for a perfect breakfast spot!

Ascend the Koa trimmed staircase to reach the master bedroom featuring queen bed, ensuite bathroom, and private lanai directly off the bedroom! The ocean views from here are even more beautiful and offer another excellent spot to enjoy the tropical climate under a covered lanai. The ensuite bathroom is stylish and spacious boasting a full bath, shower, and great lighting with full windows and palm tree vistas.

A second bedroom sits on the lower level of the home. Only about five steps down from the main living area, this bedroom is actually two levels below the master and ideal for a little extra personal space. This bedroom also features bright natural lighting, generous closet space, queen bed, and work space with a desk and chair. The second full bathroom includes a glass shower, updated fixtures, and sliding window. This home does include a Washer & Dryer for guest use. Take a break from the hustle and bustle in your well-maintained home away from home on the peaceful Big Island.

This almost oceanfront home is situated on 1.04 manicured acres with native plants, foliage, and extensive fruit trees. Technically Beach Rd does sit between this property and the ocean, however there is no through-traffic. An ideal location, Hilo is only 20 minutes driving away and Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is 45 minutes. No Smoking and No Pets Please.

Great place to relax
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Clean and comfortable and with amazing views. We were visiting family to attend the Merrie Monarch and the drive to Hilo was easy to navigate. Quiet area and well maintained home. We had a little difficulty finding the property on the first night, I would suggest adding the street name Akala Ave as listed on the sign to the directions. Also lighting at gate and an improved lock/opening system are needed. I was uncomfortable with the window in the loft bathroom shower and would suggest frosting the pane or adding curtains. The home and property were nicely maintained. Views and the sound of the waves from the livingroom and loft were soothing. I am truly missing my morning coffee overlooking the ocean.

Stunning Views, Fantastic Stay
We chose this location to be away from urban bustle, and to enjoy a local experience. It is a convenient jump off to Volcanoes NP, the Puna District and the Hamakua Coast, and about 15-20 minutes to Hilo’s events, museums, and restaurants. At the entrance to the property’s subdivision we found fun places to eat (with live music), and a fantastically-stocked store to grab anything you need. Upon arrival, one is immediately struck by the expanse of lush landscaping and great privacy from the property next door. The ocean views commanded the back of the property, and so close it could startle you with waves spraying high up on the pathway running between the house and the sea. Friendly locals use this path for morning walks but otherwise one enjoys incredible solitude. The layout of the house was great for us. We loved the openness and expansiveness of the upstairs master bedroom and bath, and the ocean views from the upper and downstairs patios. The kitchen was well-stocked, and appliances in great shape. The ceiling fans created great airflow, and the house was extremely neat and clean, and welcoming in all reaspects. The local property manager was so helpful and friendly, and readily available for all our needs. Her “aloha spirit” was a special asset for this property. I would recommend this property to one seeking a private ocean-front seat to incredible morning sunrises, the vista of Hawaiian seas, and the sounds of nature, Hawaiiaan-style.

Great views
The grounds and the home were clean and comfortable. Everything worked as expected. The kitchen was stocked very adequately, however the home needs a manual can opener since the electric can opener doesn't work right. There was only salt, pepperand some oil, so if you plan to cook, you'll need to get your own condiments and spices. The kitchen things were very minor compared to the overwhelming relaxation and beauty of the home and it's location. There is a very good grocery store just 15 minutes away. I highly recommend this place.
