Beautiful Hale Lani sits close enough to the ocean that you can see waves break at Mau Mai beach. The owners stock everything from fresh olive oil to beach gear. We love the comfy beds and the yard at sunset. Hale Lani has central air, a rarity in Hawaii, and is always cool. This house should cost a thousand dollars a night, but doesn’t, so we come year after year. Aloha until next summer!

This place was immaculately clean, spacious and wonderfully decorated. We loved the location- just 5 minutes from Hapuna and 15 minutes from Waimea and 30 minutes from Kona. Lovely private back yard to sun bath in and look at the stars at night. Owners are lovely and communicative. We will be back!

Heartfelt thanks for your nice review and for your care of Hale Lani! We are so grateful for guests who sense the soul of this island and who take time to look at the same night sky the ancients used to navigate here. No doubt this island called you as a waterwoman, and will call you both back some day. We welcome you back with warmest aloha.

This was a good find for our honey moon. We had a fully stocked and clean house. The view was exactly what we were looking for. We wanted coast and Mountain View both and we got it. It’s 39 miles to the top of Mouna Loa beautiful views with sunsets. The traffic noise was a bit disappointing the first day then we got used to it and it didn’t bother us anymore.

We were so honored to host you for your honeymoon! You chose a great central yet private location, and made the effort to really get to know Big Island. For people who are used to islands, there is the commute of hospitality workers, which has a different feel than the mainland. There is dinner outside, sunset, with the track of the sun floating on the ocean, and subtle night. I hope you saw the stars after dark - with almost no light, they are like the bright diamonds of a happy life. We welcome you back with aloha!

Kona Low Holiday

During the wettest and windiest time spent on BI, this property had everything we needed & more. We cooked all our meals at home in a gourmet kitchen with all amenities. The central location is perfect for exploring with terrific access to the ocean. Loved it!

You definitely put the aloha in the Kona Low that passed through! Hale Lani is clad in great insulation and siding, so the rare stormy days are cozy. Glad to know you used the covered picnic area to watch the cloud formations over the ocean (adding that to our pictures - the view is all down the coastline). Thank you for making the most of your trip and for your care and respect of the house. Aloha nui loa to such wonderful guests!

Great Spot Away from Crowds

Property is well taken care of and Nicole and Nicholas took great care of us. The house had everything we could have needed for our stay to include beach items. House is located closer to many of the beaches, but farther away from the more urban Kona area. We really enjoyed the location and home. The small issue we had was quickly resolved and didn't impact our stay at all. Highly recommend for your tropical getaway.

Amazing family getaway!

Our little family had the best stay here! The house was extremely well stocked, the space was perfect for our family of four and we made so many memories here, but what really put things over the top were our wonderful hosts. They were extremely thoughtful throughout our stay from the fresh baked bread at check in after our late flight, to dropping off a basket of toys for our boys on a day that looked like it might rain, to letting us hang on to the snorkel gear and boogie boards for the day after checkout to pass the time before our flight home at the beach in style. The house was an incredible home base for all of our adventures on the Big Island, and we hope to be able to stay here again if we get the chance to come back!

Wonderful home, wonderful hosts

We had a lovely time staying at Nicole and Nicholas’s home. It was spotless when we arrived, and the thought that went into the extras they provided (fresh baked Hawaiian bread, Hawaiian sodas in the fridge, coffee and more) combined with how helpful they were if we needed anything, made our stay extra special. Location is very convenient to several beaches. This is a perfect choice if you don’t care for the resort vibe and want your own outdoor space. The only thing is there is some noise from the road if you are hanging outside but otherwise, Nicole and Nicholas’s spot is a gem. Highly recommended.

Comfort, Convenience and Relaxation

Attention to detail! The hosts thought of literally everything you could possibly want or need to make their place your home away from home. Notables: Central AC, comfy beds, fully stocked kitchen, thick towels, huge bathtub and walk-in shower, full size washer/dryer located in utility room that looks like a closet (next to sliding patio doors). Excellent food and drinks at Seafood Bar & Grill 1 mile away. Very prompt communication with hosts, who were super nice. Also, they won’t add extra junk fees to your stay like corporate condo rentals do!
