Hale Ohia Seaside Charmer Near Iconic Big Island Beaches!

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.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. A Smart TV comes with cable channels and a DVD player, and guests can stay connected with free WiFi. The memory foam bed provides a full night's sleep and the bathroom offers hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a private yard, and a coffee maker.

Lovely home

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.

Quiet Getaway in Paradise

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.

Fantastic Stay

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.

One of our favorites!

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!

Oasis with Cerulian Ocean Views

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…

A place we love

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.

Great Place to Stay on Big Island

The house is lovely and well-kept. The hosts clearly put some love into it. We really appreciated how well-stocked it was with beach and kitchen equipment. The sunsets from the back yard are amazing. The house had more than enough space for my wife, daughter and me. We would definitely stay there again.

First Kawaihae stay

Sweet, very clean little cottage with small bedrooms but oh so comfy beds. It was perfect for the two of us. We’d recommend investing in higher grade, softer pillows if possible as our only suggestion for improvement. The tradewinds can get strong but they also offer a cooling effect that’s welcome in the afternoons. Super convenient spot that’s close to beaches as well as the town of Waimea less than 15 minutes away. Big views! Our hosts were the kindest, most gracious people you could hope to meet and we felt bathed in island aloha from the moment we chose this property. Communication was clear and prompt and their primary goal was for us to have the best time possible. They had us from the moment we walked in and were greeted by a warm loaf of home baked bread, accompanied by fresh butter and jam. Whoa! Truly a relaxing and welcoming stay.

Property had everything we needed to include coffee maker/filter and French press, oils and spices, lots of cookware. Beach toys for kids, snorkel gear, boogie boards, chairs and beach towels. Beds were comfortable and house was clean. The yard is large and there’s a fence along the back boarder so we felt safe with the kids playing outback while we made dinner. We would love to stay at this home again. Short drive to several nice beaches.

5 Minutes to World-Class Beaches!

This was our third stay at this beautiful and immaculate home. Hale ‘Uhane is tucked away in Kawaihae Village, with the volcanoes in the distance and beaches within the view. The home is well-stocked and the amenities left us not needing to make the multiple trips to the store we usually have to “fill in” gaps where other rental properties have been lacking. We feel safe and cared-for at this home. From the garden swing with morning coffee and ocean view, to star-gazing in the calm night, this home is a great value - your private slice of paradise!

Once again, very much enjoyed this property. Perfect fit for me and my husband. The new massage chair is amazing! And nothing beats sitting in the backyard, having breakfast, with that incredible view. Nicole and Nicholas are great. We love Kawaihae. It’s off the beaten path, but it’s a sweet spot. And this is an easy jump to three of our favorite beaches on the island. Note: it doesn’t bother us, but the property is on a road, and there are cars and trucks going back-and-forth during the day. So it’s not for everyone.

Nice property with great outdoor lanai area. Really well equipped with everything you need for an awesome stay in Waimea area. Great kitchen and outdoor grill, all good quality appliances. Really handy to Spencer Beach Park and Hapuna and tons of other great coastal spots. Also handy short drive to local Waimea restaurants (Seafood Bar & Grill), as well as local fresh produce market and fish market. We were not really concerned about road noise, there is some during the day, but not a big deal overall. We would stay here again!
