Wonderful oceanfront oasis on the cliffs with breathtaking lanai view & sunrises

Hale Kai

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Hale Kai means Ocean House, and it's easy to see where this home gets its name. At this oceanfront escape on the cliffs of Hawaiian Paradise Park, you'll enjoy beautiful, unobstructed ocean views and a large wraparound deck where you can barbecue, dine in the sun, and glimpse passing whales, turtles, and dolphins. Whether you're planning a family vacation or a romantic escape - proposals have even happened on this deck - you'll love having wall-to-wall glass doors for watching the waves crash on the cliffs.

Hale Kai is located in the Hawaiian Paradise Park neighborhood, which sits just 17 miles south of Hilo and 12 miles north of Kapoho. You'll be half a mile from an oceanfront park on Beach Road, just across the neighborhood from a two-mile trail that leads through the jungle out to swimming access at Ha'ena (Shipman) Beach, and a few minutes from a grocery store, several cafes, and a gas station in Orchidland. Pahoa's cute shops are only 10 miles away, and Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is about a 30-mile drive from the house.

Loved the quiet

It is a well-kept property. We really enjoyed the sunrise and the view from the terrace.You do need a car and it is quite far from all amenities, but if you don't mind, it is really a nice place to stay. The beds are comfy, we didnt need aircon, as there was always a breeze, only at night, the mosquitoes can be a little annoying outside, but all windows have mosquitoe nets.Lighting could have been a bit better in the second bathroom, but that is complaining on a high level. We would definitely recommend it for couples.

Lovely home

Lovely home on quiet street. This home is nestled at the back edge of the enormous neighborhood of HPP. It is directly on the ocean cliffs with dramatic views of the ocean. The whole house opens up to let in the cooling breezes and sounds of crashing waves. The home is very well equipped (kitchen, laundry and comfy beds) and lots of privacy but a short drive to grocery stores or downtown Hilo.

Hale Kai in HPP

Really great location. The house, however, was obviously cheaply built and cheaply decorated. It was also hot as heck! No insulation apparently, and no blinds in the great room to block the heat from the sun.There were ceiling and floor fans, but the ceiling fans were noisy. The kitchen was not well outfitted--as though someone made a list of utensils but had never cooked. We had a great time, but I will look for alternatives to Vacasa the next time I am looking for a vacation rental

Incredible Ocean View

We stayed on property for a hiking trip and house fully met our needs. It was fully equipped and supplied even with a bag of ice in freezer. The main reason we rented property is the incredible view of the ocean from the living/dinning room and back porch. House is just 50 feet from a cliff at the ocean front and seeing/hearing the waves crash into the cliff is mesmerizing. The main negative is no AC. House gets warm during day and windows need to be left open at night. While nights are relatively pleasant you need ear plugs to sleep do to outside bird chirping all night. We had problems with the coded door lock so used the emergency lock box key entire time. Property manager promptly gave us lock box code to access key. The house uses rain water system and recommends bringing your own bottled water.

Incredible view of cliffs and sea!

This home was lovely and it's position on the cliff overlooking the ocean was incredible. I spent a great deal of time watching waves and birds. It's away from the crowds but still a reasonable drive from Hilo or the volcanoes national park. We absolutely loved it here and did not want to leave.

Amazing property with amazing views!

This house is incredibly located on the cliffs south of Hilo, and while there is no beach, the waves crashing against the lava cliffs and beautiful sunrises make this place very special. We had a wonderful stay managed by Vacasa. Directions were clear, check in/out process simple and the property was very clean and had all the amenities you may want and then some: boogie boards, snorkeling equipment, binoculars. The outdoor patio is perfect for enjoying a breakfast or dinner and listening to coqui frogs in the nearby jungle. The whole-house fan negated the need for the A/C with all the ocean breezes and cool rain falling daily. Loved our stay, want to go again!

Ocean front home

House was very comfortable, except a little hot (for us Canadians) when you came home at the end of the day. Cooled off nicely with the windows open and the fans, but for sleeping the room with two single beds was still pretty warm. Great views into the ocean, very private. It is quite a drive for any groceries, restaurants, activities ....but that's what it takes to get the waves crashing as you sip your evening cocktail

Spectacular Coastline

As soon as you enter the property at Keaau, you realize you are somewhere exceptional. The house is beautifully furnished with a mid-century vibe. The beds are very comfortable, and the kitchen is well equipped. The highlight of the home is the lanai overlooking the Pacific Ocean, an excellent stop for yoga, watching the sunrise, and whales breaching. The property is nestled in a lovely neighborhood but is quite remote, so be sure to bring some breakfast supplies with you for your first night. We spent our days exploring the volcanoes, black sand beaches, waterfalls, gardens, Hilo, and the surrounding area. The house was the perfect place to relax after a busy day and enjoy a BBQ dinner on the lanai—a relaxing vacation.

This property was so cute and had everything we needed for a great stay. Good location on Hilo side which made it easy to do volcano and waterfalls. We loved the lanai and used it everyday. We had great views of the water and even star gazing at night. The furniture in living room was a little small but we really didn’t use it much. The customer service with Vacasa rentals was great.
