Hale Mar - Gorgeous Oceanfront Home with Private Pool & Hot Tub

Beautiful home

Unbelievably beautiful place! Dreamlike location, top-tier star gazing. Easy drives to all the best of Puna. The house was perfect for our group of 7. Comfortable, well-provisioned. Host was attentive and responsive. Fell asleep to the roar of the ocean every night and watched the sunrise from the rocks every morning. Unforgettable. Can’t recommend highly enough

This is a cool place on the volcanic cliffs. A beautiful yard that we enjoyed. The house is good but it needs some upkeep. We did have a few maintenance issues which they worked with us to resolve.

Nice house, but worn and needs to be refreshed, particularly the living room couch. And absence of Kleenex, paper napkins, coffee filters, scissors, and aluminum foil was a nuisance. Also, the handrail to the top floor needs to be extended 3' so that it reaches the top floor.

The house was lovely. The pool and hot tub were awesome!! The view was amazing!!

We loved our time at this property. The house cools down quickly once you open all the windows. Check in was super easy and our two questions were answered quickly via text. The home felt like a destination unto itself. Watching the sunrise and turtles in the AM and relaxing in the pool at night were perfect ways to bookend our Hilo-side adventures.

We were very pleased with this property. The ocean front location is beautiful and we frequently saw turtles in the water in front of the house. Our kids enjoyed the pool and the hot tub. The property was clean and well-maintained. The property is professionally managed and the management team was very responsive.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed 6 nights with three kids (11, 9 and 6). We loved staying here. The pool was the perfect size for the kids to swim around safely and for us adults to cool off. Loved watching turtles in the ocean and drinking coffee in the hot tub. There is no AC so the house did get warm when the windows were closed but cooled off pretty quickly once opened up and sleeping with the sound of the ocean waves was great. Kitchen was nicely stocked, house was clean. We enjoyed exploring during the day then spending evenings at the house. It felt like our own little resort.

This property is nice and clean and very well maintained. The property host was very helpful with all of my additional questions, and always quick to respond. We are all so impressed,my family and I will be returning to the Hale Mar to enjoy our family vacations in Hawaii, for years to come!

The house is just like photos. Our family of 6 had plenty of room. Well equipped kitchen, every room has its own individual patio with sitting area (even the little one)the pool and hot tub next to the ocean made it really amazing. Definitely 5 stars!

This was our first family vacation with all of our kids and it was great.. Property manager was great when we had a little issue and was right on top of it..

It was beautiful. Hot without windows open, but cooled off quickly. Small ants food get into a few things like food and tooth brush so put everything in sealed bags, but it definitely did not ruin our stay. Kids lived the pool and adults loved the hot tub. Can't beat the view!!

This house and the surrounding area are perfect if you are looking for a quiet, peaceful, tropical vacation. The house was clean and beautifully situated if you enjoy listening to the sound of the ocean (which we LOVE). The neighborhood was walkable and peaceful. We would stay here again and again.

Hilo area house on the ocean was very nice. Kitchen was very well equipped.Pool area was enjoyable.

Everything was great

Stunning property, was not disappointed.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: -25-30 minutes from Hilo, if you don't like driving to get anywhere, don't get this house. We were fine with that because we wanted a little more quiet and private.-Scenery out back is beautiful. Sunrises, waves hitting the rocks, and volcanic rock is really cool. The master has a really nice balcony with even better views than the yard. No beach close though.-Pool is small but clean and it was a perfect temperature for staying cool without getting cold. Hot tub was clean and nice.-(Visited in August) House was hot with no A/C and the fans are just not enough to keep air moving. The fans need to be upgraded to be bigger in the main room and higher flow in the lower bedrooms, in my opinion.-The windows and doors need to be fixed for being able to lock and close better. If it's all adults, not a big deal. But we had a 5, 3, and 2 year old. We ended up carrying a mattress upstairs to have them sleep in the large master on the floor because we did not feel safe leaving them downstairs. No A/C meant you need windows and doors open. Not ideal for young kids on the main level with the master upstairs, or at all if you're into your kids' safety in a place you're not familiar with.-The neighborhood isn't the best. It's also not the worst. There's a mix of nice places and complete junk. You're not going to feel like everybody is on vacation if that's what you're after. It's very much full of locals, which isn't a bad thing. It was quiet for us, no funny stuff seemed to be going on anywhere.-I usually don't have a problem with tech, but the TV is funky and in my opinion, a vacation house should have something that's easier and newer than what this probably is. We could not access some of the popular apps most people use and couldn't login to others.-Overall, the house is useful and comfortable enough. Plenty of open room and patio space to relax. The kitchen is fairly well equipped, could be a little better.-There is plenty to do around

Unique property right on the water with waves crashing in 24x7. Sunrise is worth waking up for. Kids had a blast and we got good use out of the pool and kitchen. We did a lot of activities within 2 hours of the house, highly recommend getting a tour guide for volcanoes national park to learn about all the unique details.
