HALE I’A U’i-SPECTACULAR OCEANFRONT ESCAPE TO PUAKO PARADISE

Welcome to HALE I’A U’i, the “Beautiful Fish House”- a luxury oceanfront villa in peaceful Puako, one of the Big Island’s most magical old-Hawaii beach communities.

Here the ocean is your backyard. Wake to gentle waves, snorkel or Scuba dive the vibrant reef right out in front, watch HONU(Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles) sun on the lava rock tide-pools and soak in the heated spa asMaui’s mountains float on the horizon.

DIVE IN. CHILL OUT.REPEAT.

Explore the living reef filled with tropical fish, mysterious sea caves, coral gardens, sea turtles, tide pools, and warm island water. From November through March, watch Humpback whales breach, spout, and tail-slap offshore.

Relax in two shaded ocean view cabanas, cool off in the infinity edge lava stone spool (1.5’deep), unwind in the large heated spa, and watch your favorite game or movie from the water.

Inside enjoy over 5,300 sq. ft of luxury with two oceanfront Great Rooms, a gourmet kitchen, 2 bars, two ice makers, huge pool table, and a cozy film room -perfect for friends and families to gather, play, cook, laugh, and reconnect.

Surrounded by palms, hibiscus, plumeria, tropical birds, starlit skies, and the soothing sound of the sea, Hale I’a U’i captures the relaxed beauty of old Hawaii.

Minutes from Mauna Lani, Orchid Fairmont, Hapuna and Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, you are close to world-class beaches, golf, dining, shopping, and Big Island adventures.

    We returned to this wonderful home in Puako and came away every bit as thrilled as we were the first time. The home is perfect-built for its location, spacious bedrooms and common areas, all directed towards the ocean, complete amenities in all areas, wonderful access to the ocean, and the calming effect of its location in this one-of-a-kind neighborhood. We enjoyed everything about our week and look forward to returning. The sooner the better!

    Family vacation with 9 adults and a teenager. The house is beautiful with plenty of room to spread out. Very nice indoor/outdoor areas for gathering. Gorgeous views, beautiful sunsets, and great whale watching during our stay. The house is centrally located in a quiet neighborhood and is close to the beach and other activities. The house is very well equipped and the host, Debbie was very responsive and attentive.

    This house is in a great location with easy access to many amenities. Ocean front with great snorkelling right out the back door. All of the 4 bedrooms have a private bath which makes it nice for everyone to have their own space. Debbie the host was always available for whatever was required and very enjoyable to deal with. A beautiful place to stay.

    If I could only vacation in one place for the rest of my life, this would be it. The four bedrooms are basically all master bedrooms. All fantastic with striking bathrooms (some outdoor showers). The wide-open front to the house (upstairs and downstairs great rooms plus all bedrooms) with choice for window, screen, shutters, or open makes this the perfect place to simply enjoy the ocean and the air. Loved the cabanas and wading pool. While ocean entry is challenging, our party did a lot of snorkeling and scuba diving from shore. Note that air conditioning is available in the bedrooms only, and the temperature is controlled from the upstairs bedrooms only (no independent controls downstairs). So don't put cold lovers above people who want the doors open at night. It's a long way to the supermarket so plan ahead and do your shopping before you arrive--so you don't miss a single minute at the house.

    felt like a private waterfront oasis. We watched the sun set every evening and enjoying the stars from pool, hit tub at night. So relaxing with the continuous surf, ocean sounds. Spacious, luxurious home with abundant room for everyone to spread out. Our extended family thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.

    Just as amazing as the photos suggest! Entrance to water is rocky but easy enough with water shoes and SO worth doing since right in front of the house is one of the most popular snorkeling places! You can swim out before the snorkel tours get there and see beautiful coral and tons of fish. I also watched pods of dolphins swim across the bay in the morning while drinking my coffee. House manager is super accommodating and helpful. Very close to some wonderful beaches as well.

    Our family just can't say enough good things about this property to do it justice! The house was gorgeous, spacious, and fully equipped with all the bells and whistles and with lovely interior design. The location was stunning with amazing ocean views and access to the water directly from the house where we enjoyed snorkeling and visiting with the sea turtles, crabs, and other little ocean creatures! There's absolutely no need to go anywhere if you are in HI to rest, relax and enjoy a slice of paradise! Debbie was so responsive to our questions. We also enjoyed the close proximity to resorts to eat out and shop as well as to buy local fresh fish to bring home to grill.
