World class beaches of Hapuna and Mauna Kea await you just 5 minutes away as well as many others lining the Kohala coast.

Hale Hapuna is in a small residential village on the hillside overlooking the ocean in Kawaihae near the harbor. It is located between Kailua-Kona (40 minutes) and Hilo (90 minutes) and 30 minutes from KOA airport in Kona.

Just up the hill (15 minutes) are the ranching town of Waimea and the eclectic town of Hawi, surrounded by acres of green hills and pastures. Plan your day trips to explore these charming towns and be home for sunset on the deck at Hale Hapuna.

You are never far from the many activities here on the Big Island whether it's snorkeling, diving, ziplining, shopping, surfing, golfing, dining, stargazing at the top of Mauna Kea or just reading a book on the beach. It's all here waiting for you.

    This was a great location for exploring the coast. Was super clean and tidy with attention to detail. The outdoor patio living space was great and I enjoyed the view of the water from the top terrace.

    This bungalow was a perfect base for my family of four (including two young kids). Spacious, clean, peaceful and quiet, and stocked with everything we needed. An easy 7-minute drive to several perfect, beautiful beaches while also very convenient to shops, grocery stores, and restaurants in Waimea. The host was very helpful and responsive. We loved staying here!

    This home was perfect! Joe was a great host and had the house ready for our arrival. Both indoor and outdoor space was comfortable and clean. The a/c and ceiling fans kept the temperature just right for sleeping at night. The upper deck has a view of the ocean and Hāpuna Beach was only a 10 minute drive away. My favorite was eating breakfast or relaxing at night in the private Lanai with a bubbling fountain that attracted song birds and frogs. This house was a home away from home and the icing on the cake to an amazing Hawaiian Vacation!

    The property was just as described - sparkling clean and well-appointed. The kitchen has everything you need and more for vacation cooking. Communication with the property manager was smooth and easy via text. The location is great - easy access to the resorts and beaches, as well as Waimea and points east. We had zero issues during our stay - would book here again without hesitation.

    We enjoyed our three night stay at Hale Hapuna very much. The bungalow is in Kawaihae Village, 10-15 minutes or so from some of the most beautiful beaches on the planet, so the location can’t be beat. Hale Hapuna itself is clean, thoughtfully laid out, and quiet. The interior is beautifully decorated, and the exterior lanai and gardens are cool and shady with lots of seating and a water fountain to drown out any traffic noise. We didn’t really cook much but it seemed like the kitchen has everything you need for vacation meals. The bedrooms are somewhat compact but there’s lots of storage so you don’t have to trip over your suitcase all the time. The AC and ceiling fans kept the house comfortable, the washer/dryer was so nice to have, and there were plenty of chairs and umbrellas for the beach. The owner clearly put a lot of thought and effort into preparing this property and we were very comfortable during our stay.

    My family had an outstanding stay at Hale Hapuna, it was truly perfect! The home had everything we needed for a relaxing and memorable vacation. We especially loved the outdoor living area, which was perfect for unwinding together, and the star gazing deck was an absolute highlight, so peaceful and beautiful at night. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would absolutely come back again. Highly recommended!

The property manager very thoughtfully put on the AC before we arrived. Gorgeous view from the upper terrace. Look forward to coming back to this property.

    It was such a pleasure for our family of four plus an extra college student to stay here. Everything was clean and bright, everyone had individual climate controls in their rooms, and the kitchen was so well-stocked with just about anything a person could need. The property manager was so helpful and easy to work with. Mahalo!

    We loved our stay here for 4 days of beach days and dinners on the grill. Did yoga on the deck every morning- and watched the sun set. Delighted in the outdoor shower. Beach chairs, cooler bag. 1 snorkel mask with 2 fins. Communications were seamless. We loved sharing the family neighborhood found it quiet and comfortable. The outside area is very peaceful and the house is well appointed for cooking. Can’t wait to return!!

    Overall, a nice place to stay. But there were some electrical quirks—nothing major. Neighborhood not very appealing. For older guests, there really needs to be a handrail to go up to the view deck. It isn’t safe for anyone with any mobility issues. We weren’t able to use the deck at all after going up there once, so we saw no lovely sunsets. But very cute living area. Tiny bathroom. AC was a big plus!!
