Charming Holualoa Ranching-Era Estate near Kailua and Keauhou. Away from it all!

Beautiful location, beautiful home, excellent access to everything you need, and everything you might want to visit or explore. I can't think of anything we wanted that wasn't already in the home. It's just a good vibe in every meaningful way. Met Lisa one day one, in a friendly, comfortable welcome, let me know if you need anything kind of way. You can believe any other reviews you read that have positive things to say.

beautiful place in the world

We had a magical family gathering at Hale Akala, an historic home with uncommon grace and charm. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook for our group of 7. There was nothing we hoped to find available that wasn't provided. Lisa was a welcoming host and had great suggestions for how to spend our time there.

We absolutely loved our stay on the big island on this property. Such unique house set up into the mountains made for a great retreat while exploring the area. There was so much charm to this property and was well appointed. Want to be back there right now having coffee on the back porch looking over the ocean!

Hidden gem! I don’t want to reveal too much on how amazing this place was since it could affect our ability to get a reservation, but let’s just say we didn’t want to leave. Paradise! Everything about the house and property was exactly as described although we didn’t believe it until we actually saw for our own eyes. Thank you Lisa for opening your beautiful home for others to enjoy.

This house was ideal for our family group of nine. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed beautiful views from the lanai. Lisa was exceptional in addressing any questions that arose.

Lisa was a super grac

This was a beautiful property - perfect for my husband and I to do a vow renewal. We had 9 people, 6 adults, 2 teenagers, and one 10 year old. There was plenty of space, it was convenient and the grounds were gorgeous! The host is amazing and so accommodating and friendly. There are no bathrooms on the bottom or middle floor that are not in a bedroom - this is not a problem for us - but something to consider. I would recommend this property if staying in the area - it’s AMAZING!

What a lovely home. Gorgeous scenery, well stocked, comfortable. Lisa surely made us feel like family. I would highly recommend this unique, historical home as part of any family vacation

Family friendly and lovely home and surroundings.

Everything was great!!

Very nice, clean, and cute. Perfect get away with an exceptional host.

Our stay at this beautiful Kona home was truly unforgettable. The house is spacious, impeccably clean, and thoughtfully decorated with island charm. We especially loved waking up to the breathtaking ocean views and enjoying our coffee on the lanai surrounded by tropical gardens.Everything we needed was provided, from a fully equipped kitchen to beach gear, making it easy to relax and feel at home. The location was perfect—peaceful and private, yet close enough to shops, restaurants, and beaches.Our host Lisa was gracious, responsive, and welcoming, adding a personal touch that made the experience even more special. We would return in a heartbeat and highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a magical stay on the Big Island. Mahalo!

Hale Akala, an historic Hawaiian house, nestled on cool mountain slopes over looking Kona, surrounded by lush tropical gardens, was the perfect get away for our party of 12. Full kitchen, 3 full bathrooms, and four separate sleeping areas, easily accommodated 4 generations of our family gathering. Am looking forward to coming back again.

we all had a great time!

We enjoyed our stay so very much. The property fit everyone perfectly and the location was great for us. We shall be back in the future. Mahalo, Mahalo! The Aldridge Family

We had a great stay and enjoyed our time at Hale Akala. The house was charming and very well equipped. It had all if the supplies we needed for a relaxing trip. We also enjoyed meeting Lisa and learning about the house and the coffee roasting process.

Our stay at Lisa’s home was fantastic! The house was impeccably clean and well-stocked with everything we needed. Lisa responded quickly and was very accommodating. She has a beautiful home that was very relaxing and the view was spectacular!!!

Our family had a wonderful week long stay at this beautiful historic Hawaiian home.  It was a perfect gathering place for us while exploring the Kona coast.  We happened to be there on the first Friday of the month for Holualoa's night market when all of the galleries were open and they featured live music.  We loved the layout of the house and the beautiful original artwork throughout the house.  There are a number of window seats from which to relax and enjoy the views.  The lanai was very relaxing and has a territorial view. The sunsets were amazing. The kitchen is beautiful and well stocked.  The house comes with useful items including cooking and food items along with a full assortment of beach items such as chairs,  beach umbrella, snorkel gear, and boogie boards.  The layout of the house worked well with our group and we all thought it was such a nice stay.  Communication with Lisa was wonderful and she answered all of our questions and made us feel very welcome.

Majestic views of Kailua-Kona coupled with a tranquil park-like setting. This was simply the perfect place for our family to reconnect.

Our stay at this incredible property on the Big Island was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the sheer beauty of the estate. The home is impeccably maintained, with gorgeous artwork and meticulous attention to detail evident in every corner. It truly felt like we were staying in our family’s private Hawaiian estate—a perfect blend of luxury and comfort.The kitchen and bathrooms were lovely and exceptionally well-appointed, making it easy to cook and relax in style. The property provided plenty of space for our multigenerational family to enjoy each other’s company while still offering room to spread out and unwind individually. Whether gathering in the living areas or exploring the stunning grounds, there was something for everyone.A special mention goes to Lisa, who facilitated our stay seamlessly. Her care and responsiveness made everything even more enjoyable.This property is a dream destination, and we enjoyed anj unforgettable family getaway!

Lisa is the perfect host and we stayed at the perfect home for the 10 of us. Thank you Lisa!

Beautiful ancestral family home with stunning views.

We stayed Iron Man week, 8 adults, and location was perfect, away from all the crowd but also just a short drive. The place had amazing view, love the updated kitchen, had everything we needed for laundry, snorkeling, towels and welcome basket included Kona coffee😀. The property had a lot if history, lots of fruit trees we didn’t even know about. Host, Lisa, was very responsive & helpful. We definitely recommend this property.

We were thrilled to return to this lovely property, and to introduce family to the Big Island and this Holualoa gem. With so many comfy places to enjoy the gorgeous ocean view, such an extensive library and so much lovely art to study it was hard to leave the house. The grounds were just as gorgeous. We could not have asked for a better place to bring our family!
