When you rent our home you receive the entire home guaranteeing privacy for you and your family or friends. The Lanai/ Patio and home was designed and layed out for complete privacy. You are staying on the ocean. The ocean is your backyard with this house's location. We ask that prospective guests simply read the reviews from our previous guests both on this website and other rental platforms to get an honest true description of what makes our place so special ! NUC 19 -757 STVR19-354251 This absolute Ocean Front Home it is not situated on a sea cliff but is just a few feet above sea level on sheltered PaPa Bay. Because of this lots unique topography and elevation you are just above the water line and a few steps from walking to the water. Additionally a minute walk away is a public access point in the Bay which the neighbourhood uses to safely go into the water. Please refer to our pictures for a better appreciation of our location on the Ocean. Aside from the superb ocean location and access this house affords, it is a fairly new concrete home designed to meet and surpass all the latest safety and building codes. It is a 2 Bedroom home with the Master Bedroom having an oversized King sized California Bed. This room has a 12 foot wide glass sliding door directly facing the Ocean. The second bedroom has a queen bed. This 2nd bedroom room has a large 6 foot by 4 foot window for views of the Ocean also. In addition it has another 6 foot x 2 foot window for mountain views. The house has 7 separate sliding glass doors which capitalize on it's stunning ocean views. Appliances are all brand new.. The cabinets in the kitchen were custom designed and built for the home. Finally the best way to describe our home is to simply let our previous guests who have stayed there do it for us. It has been almost 7 years since we built the home brand new and have we have been renting it. We have had numerous guests over the years and everyone so far has been very happy with the home and our communications and tips that we give them. This has made Mindy and I very happy knowing that when we set out on building our dream to make a perfect vacation home , it has been realized based due to the happiness and satisfaction of our past guests.

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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
We had an amazing stay on the oceanfront. Dan was great in communicating details of the unit, places to visit and eat and was available to answer any questions. Would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation spot.
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!
We enjoyed 6 nights at this gorgeous location. As a family of 5, it was perfect for all of our needs. Well appointed and very comfortable. The views are out of this world!

The house is well furnished and beautiful ocean front house. Dan was a very welcoming, friendly and informative host. Great kitchen and amazing sunsets every night. We will be back.
Thank you Dan!
Dan is very familiar with the island and he readily shared his knowledge with us. He made sure we have a pleasant stay. His house is big, clean and well stocked.
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.
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.

Gorgeous home, beautiful veiws, very relaxing
Well worth the time to travel and relax at this wonderful home. It was fantastic. Dan ensured we had everything we needed at the house and went over and above providing us with ideas and activities to make our stay great. We would return with out question.
Thank you
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.

About the host
Hosted by Dan Mancini
We have lived part time in Hawaii for the past 27 years and know the Island intimately and its lifestyle. Because of our vast experience with the Big Island, we chose this location for our home.
Why they chose this property
Because we know the Island so well, we took into consideration safe Ocean access, weather, water quality and space away from the "touristy areas" so that our guests could have a true, unique Hawaiian experience. Additionally, our home is located midway between Kona and the resort areas, as well as the Volcano and Puna regions. This cuts down on long drive times during your stay on the Island, going out and back each day.
What makes this property unique
Milolii' is one of the few affordable areas that one can live on the water on the Island. Because of the very limited places, this area is not overcrowded nor the property so expensive that the average vacationer is not able to afford a nightly stay. That is why we are offering such a spectacular stay for a very reasonable nightly rate.
