This is a solar powered 3 bedroom house in Kawaihae located a scenic 30 minute drive to the north of the Kona Airport. Unlike many Hawaiian rental properties, this home is centrally located near pristine beaches, places to eat and shop, and to area towns and areas of interest. The home offers beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean and Kohala Coastline from the back yard. Visitors enjoy the beautiful and ancient terrain of the most desirable side of the Big Island, where the weather is almost always sunny and temperatures normally range between 80 to 68 deg F every day.

The home is located in a historic area, within a short 5 to 10 minute drive of the worlds best beaches at Mauna Kea and Hapuna Beach. Buy fresh fish and vegetables in Kawaihae and enjoy grilling your food as the gentle tradewinds blow through the coconut palms and tropical plants on the property. During the winter months, whales make the nearby cove their first destination, and can be seen breaching and surfacing from the beautiful blue waters.

The bedrooms include one California King with memory foam gel topper, one King with new memory foam mattress, and one Queen with memory foam gel topper. There is one bathroom with full tub and shower. The kitchen is fully equipped. Free Wireless internet.

This is the perfect destination to enjoy what the Big Island has to offer, while at the same time avoiding the very expensive rates typical of area hotels.

    What a wonderful experience staying at this VRBO!! Great communication well before we even arrived in Hawaii. There was fresh homemade bread and a bottle of wine. The cute well FURNISHED three bedroom house was in a great location to the beaches and driving to local towns. It’s one of the best VRBO‘s that was so well equipped down to a rice cooker! The host made sure we were comfortable and if we needed anything, it was great to meet them and I’d highly recommend staying at this wonderful VRBO. It is close to a road however, we did not find that to be any trouble at all and could not even hear traffic in the house.

    Amazing view! Lots of amenities, great location. The host welcomed us with warm freshly made raisin bread and a bottle of wine. She was very responsive. Would definitely stay there again.

    Hale Ohia is the perfect home away-from-home for your Hawaiian vacation. Warm and cozy, with a well-appointed kitchen, very comfortable beds with lovely bedding, a dining area with views down the Kona Coast, and comfortable living room furniture, including a great massage chair to give your happy, tired muscles a massage after your beach day! The best beach is literally 5 minutes from the house.Your hosts, Nick and Nicole, are truly the most wonderful hosts one could ever wish for. You will feel like part of the family when you stay at Hale Ohia. The hard part is leaving to return to the mainland, but the happy memories stay with you always. We highly recommend Hale Ohia!

    Beautiful view overlooking the ocean, and both mountains! Lovely sunsets. Stargazing at night without needing to leave the house was a bonus! Well stocked with everything we needed in the kitchen. Beautiful outdoor space with lots of seating choices. Very responsive hosts. Beds were comfortable. Great water pressure in the shower! Be aware it is right on the main road, so there is some traffic noise, but it did not detract at all from our enjoyment of the home. The neighborhood itself is very quiet. Having an easy drive to the Kohala coast beaches, Waimea, and Hawi was so nice.

    The home had everything we could have needed or asked for. The views were fantastic! We watched whales from the yard and enjoyed the sunset each night along with a sky full of stars! The location is perfect to get away from the excitement and crowds in Kona, so you can truly slow down and enjoy all the island has to offer. There are great beaches within minutes of the home and the wonderful town of Waimea just up the mountain with restaurants and grocery stores. Nicole and Nick were responsive to messages and wonderfully kind.

    The two houses we rented were superbly priced, decorated, and provided with everything you could imagine as if you lived here all the time. Comfortable, affordable and in the best location on the Big Island a visitor could as for. Close to historical locations, close to water falls and hiking and the best beaches the Big Island could offer. I have never stayed at a rental that was as perfect as these two houses in this quiet peaceful village. The Host treats you with the most kindest and most caring respect you will ever experience.

    Even before we arrived, we knew this trip was going to be special. Communication was excellent. Upon arriving, the thoughtfulness was displayed everywhere. Never have we walked into a home and found fresh warm bread with butter waiting for us! The owners checked in with us to make sure we didn't have any questions or needs. The house had everything we needed, from a fully stocked kitchen, to plenty of towels and beach equipment. We loved the multiple places to sit outside. My husband and I both enjoyed the massage chair. Sunsets were gorgeous. We enjoyed watching the New Year's Eve fireworks from the backyard. The home is so close to our favorite beaches. The owners really cared that we enjoyed our time. Can't wait to return! Mahalo!

    Thank you so much for accommodating me on my work trip! I needed a central location, and being close to the beach was a huge bonus. Thank you for a well-stocked kitchen, massage chair, and wonderful down pillows. I am not a good sleeper, but sunk into the memory foam king and didn’t wake up until morning. Lastly, I just booked our vacation with you - two weeks for the four of us, for 1/4 of what a hotel there costs. So glad I discovered Kawaihae…

    Great location, well-appointed place. Not for everyone, though: the road literally next to the cabin and the only bathroom for 3 bedrooms might be an issue for other people.

    Our fourth time at Hale Ohia was as nice as our other visits. The house fits us so well. Ken LOVES the massage chair! Had a night or two with an AMAZING sky full of stars (some light clouds the other nights). We had a concern or two, and they were dealt with, as usual. Nicole and Nicolas are great. It would be a turn off for some people, but I find the light back and forth traffic kind of soothing.
