Hale Pulelehua, Butterfly House: Incredible Modern Alii Drive Home

We stayed for 10 days. Home was in great condition with an amazing location across from the ocean. Nothing negative about the home condition at all. They had beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, and a few beach towels to use. Amazing stay!

Very clean organized house with great views. Host checked in on us often to make sure everything was good.

Our group of 4 adults and 4 children (ages range from 4 to 11) enjoyed our stay at Endless Summer Hale. There was plenty of seating and space in the kitchen and living room, and there were great views of the ocean and surfers from the lanai.The property is located away from the commercial section of Ali'i Drive. It felt safe and it was quiet at night, except for the sounds of the ocean. Beaches, restaurants, and grocery stores are about 10 minutes away by car. The driveway had enough space to park our large SUV. For future guests, note that the driveway is a little bit hidden and the street numbering is a bit tricky. Neighboring addresses all start with the same two digits, and a neighboring address has a very similar address. This is no fault of the property... once you find the right driveway, you're good. Also note that there are steps leading to the front door, just something to be aware of for mobility.The property was very clean and had all the kitchen essentials, beddings, and beach accessories that we needed. For our group of 8, a few extra beach and bath towels would have been convenient. We noticed some small bugs in and around the property. The owners were proactive by laying many bug traps around but nature will find a way. The rental management staff was very helpful and informative, they responded to email and text messages promptly. The rental instructions were clear. Checking-in and out was smooth. We had no issues during our stay.

Well named! We spent a lot Of time on the lanai enjoying the sunshine and sounds of the ocean. Property was as advertised. Clean and offered the basic amenities. Kitchen appliances are fairly new and in good condition. Communication with the host was timely and helpful. Within walking distance of a nice beach. Would stay here again.

We very much enjoyed our stay in this house by the water. From the front deck you can watch the surfers try to manage the break and from inside the house you can hear the crashing waves. We enjoyed sitting on the porch for our meals or to just enjoy the ocean. The house had been impeccably cleaned - I spilled water on the floor and when I wiped it up, there was zero dirt on the paper towel. The property managers checked in with texts regularly and were very responsive. The location is good. While you're not within walking distance of downtown Kona, you can easily walk to the surfing/snorkeling beach. And you're just a few minutes drive down the road from the shopping and restaurants, as well as other beaches. We were just two of us in the house, but you could stuff an extended family in the home. Two bedrooms and two baths. One is an ensuite with with a pullout sleeper sofa in it. The kitchen was equipped with all the tools I needed to make meals. And there was a Roku so you can log into your streaming services if you want a little TV or movie time.

The property was an easy drive or Uber into town but far enough out that quiet mornings on the deck with coffee were possible. We loved having access to beach chairs & umbrellas as well as all of the amenities inside the house. Would definitely stay again!

I’ve rented several beach houses over the years and I would generally say that they are all in some state of disrepair. This home is no different. AC broke and leaked water everywhere and didn’t seem to work at all in the main room. Disappointing given the price point, but not entirely unexpected. One positive is that the management responded quickly to get repairs made. What is surprising is the complete lack of supplies the home came with. I know what is and is not included is a general gray area for rental vacation homes, but every home should come with at least 1 coffee filter and 1 dish washer detergent pod. The left over sauces with either mismatched with the bottles or very old, like jet black “lime juice”, shampoo in the conditioner bottles, etc. We didn’t use any of them. Frustrating that we had to go back to the store a few times to get basic items.
