Keaau, Hawaii
Welcome to Hale Kailani, the 'Sea and Sky House'. Enjoy breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, amazing sunrises, occasional lightning storms, year round turtle and spinner dolphins and seasonal humpback whales right off the back lanai. Located just south of Hilo on the eastside of the Island of Hawaii (Big Island). Situated on a 1/2 acre lot in the rural subdivision of Hawaiian Paradise Park, this cozy and clean oceanfront home feels secluded but is within close proximity to shopping, dining and other 'must do' activities. This house features 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom on the main level, a large loft with a bathroom upstairs and a good sized lanai looking out at the ocean with an outdoor dining set, BBQ and additional seating. Newly purchased and undergoing phased renovations.
Our stay was just wonderful. The home itself was welcoming and perfectly appointed with everything we needed during our visit. The views from the loft and living/ dining room were so breathtaking. I didn’t notice the large tv in the living room for the first 3 days, the view was that eye-catching. Plenty of space to accommodate our family and friend. We would recommend staying at this home to anyone looking for a relaxed paradise. The neighborhood was nice and easy to navigate, good for a morning walk. We all hope to stay again. Mahalo to our hosts, Tina and David. They were quick to respond to any questions and provided great local recommendations.
This property was stunning! It had incredible views, was very clean, and the property owners thought of everything we could need. We had plenty of room for our family of 6. We were all comfortable and truly enjoyed both the indoor and outdoor spaces. We even saw a whale right off the back patio on our last day! Incredible! We would definitely stay here again and hope to in the future!
Awesome private place. Neighborhood quiet and pretty. Hearing and seeing the surf all the time was amazing. My kids LOVED it and we would stay here again if visiting Hilo area. The no AC was NOT an issue. Ocean breeze was natural AC. Kind of a drive to Hilo and Volcanoes National Park but not difficult and worth the view and seclusion.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would gladly do it again. Views were gorgeous, neighborhood (people) quiet even on Memorial Day weekend, and the house has lots of thoughtful amenities. My cautions: Stairs are unavoidable, and/or if you want AC for comfort or consistency, this isn’t for you. It rains several times a day and you must close the windows (and leave them closed if you leave the house). The coqui frogs are also quite loud, which we found charming. Others might not. We had one question during our stay, and the hosts were responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay again if we have the chance.
This property was spectacular! Incredible views, tasteful decorations, and comfortable beds. We loved the location and would definitely stay here again.
Tina and David's place is exceptionally well thought-out. There are loads of little touches everywhere that make it clear this isn't just a side rental project for them--beautiful art on the walls, loads of extra beach towels, umbrellas by the door, a super well-stocked kitchen, a bluetooth speaker, and so forth. Every time we thought wouldn't it be nice if..., they'd already anticipated the idea. Communication was superb, the location on the cliffs is beautiful (we saw whales every day from the deck), and everything was super-clean. Two thumbs up! Thanks, Tina and David!
This house had everything we could have wanted. We sat on the cliffs and watched the whales, visited the active volcano, and so much more. You are close to pahoa village and the red road. After visiting various island and towns around Hawaii, this may be my favorite spot. Mahalo for everything!
Great location near Hilo and Volcanoes National Park. Super communication with hosts and easy check-in and out. Well-stocked house and was very private. Would highly recommend if exploring east side of island.
We loved every part of our stay at this property. The house was equipped with everything you could possibly need. The beds were extremely comfortable and all areas of the house were perfect for both family time and just relaxing with a good book. The loft area was a bit warmer than the other areas of the house but were equipped with extra fans that came in handy. Best part of each day was the sunrise and set just relaxing on the lanai with a cup of coffee. The location is far enough away from the world but close enough if you want to go explore.
What an amazing stay! From the lovely welcome basket of goodies to the gorgeous ocean views, this stay had everything! The balcony views were a highlight…we enjoyed early morning sightings of spinner dolphins as well as amazing nighttime views of the full moon. This place had just about every amenity we could ask for. It was a great distance from both Hilo and Volcano and this was a perfect jumping off point for all of our outdoor adventures. Absolutely would stay here again!!
This is a wonderful home to stay in. When I read fully stocked in other reviews, I had no idea what they meant until I arrived. There wasn't one thing we needed that we couldn't find in a cabinet or kitchen drawer. It truly felt like we were visiting our friend's home, junk drawer and all! Tina and Dave even provide a computer, which we used to plan our day. The gift basket of soap, cookies, and coffee was wonderful and so thoughtful (and the cookies are fantastic). The views from the lanai were perfect - we saw multiple rainbows over the ocean, and a few nene birds. We spent a lot of time on the lanai, but it does get hot when the sun comes up as there is no shade at all. The house is a bit far from everywhere that you'll want to go, but it is centrally located between VNP and Hilo, which was nice. I don't think that there's any one location on the island where you can stay and not have to drive a lot, as it is definitely a big island. We tried to go to Kaleo's Bar and Grill in Pahoa, but they were closed - not sure if that was for the day or the season, but I would call ahead if you go there, as Google thought they should be open. The house is very peaceful and in a quiet location. If you turn off all of the lights in the house and look up at the sky, you can see an infinite number of stars. It's a great place to unwind and enjoy your vacation. Mahalo to Tina and Dave for inviting us into your home!
This house was everything we needed. We loved the area and hospitality.
We stayed here in July and just loved the house. Very roomy, comfortable and wonderful spot right on the cliffs overlooking the ocean. Beautiful garden, nice quiet neighborhood …. House has everything you will need for a relaxing stay.
Clean, comfortable, well appointed, ample supplies available, unbelievable views from the house and deck overlooking the ocean. We had a wonderful, relaxing stay. We had everything we needed at our disposal. Furnishings were very comfortable. We did a lot of sightseeing and it was great to come home to such a welcoming place. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Hilo.
We enjoyed our stay in this cute little house. It was very clean and well appointed. It is a little off the main tourist path so there was a bit more driving involved than we had expected, but nothing awful. All in all we were very comfortable.
This was a great property with an amazing view. I was a bit worried prior to staying because there was no a/c, but it really was manageable. The breeze off the ocean was incredible and air really moved through the house well to keep it comfortable. The house was very clean and well stocked. The owners were really great about keeping touch prior to and during out stay, they clearly want your experience to be good. They even left a little gift basket with water, soaps, and some cookies. Definitely would be staying here again!
