Newly Renovated in June 2025, 3-Level Oceanfront Home with views from every room
Kai Honu Hale – Oceanfront Bliss on Hawaii’s East Side Where Sea Turtles Glide by Your Window and the Pacific Fills Your Soul
Welcome to Kai Honu Hale, the Ocean Turtle House — your unforgettable escape on the magical east side of the Big Island. Newly renovated in June 2025, perched right at the ocean’s edge, this three-level gem offers a rare “floating on water” experience that brings you closer to Hawaii’s natural beauty than you ever imagined.
From the moment you arrive, the sweeping 180-degree, unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean will take your breath away. Watch turtles drift by, dolphins play, and—during winter—the awe-inspiring sight of whales breaching just offshore. Every room in this beautifully designed 2-bedroom home with a spacious open-concept loft and 2 full bathrooms delivers front-row seats to the magic of the sea.
Wake up to stunning sunrises, sip coffee from your private lanai, and fall asleep to the soothing sounds of crashing waves. Our home is nestled in a quiet, walkable neighborhood — perfect for morning strolls or evening star-gazing. It’s just a 7-minute drive to the charming town of Pahoa with its eclectic shops and diverse dining, and only 45 minutes from the incredible Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
Inside, you’ll find a bright and airy living space with panoramic windows and daily turtle sightings right from your sofa. Enjoy a 37" flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi, a well-equipped kitchen, and an outdoor charcoal BBQ for sunset grilling (just bring your charcoal).
We’re locals, and we’re happy to help make your trip even more special with insider tips and recommendations. From must-see sights to hidden gems, we’re here for you. Located just 30–35 minutes from Hilo International Airport, Kai Honu Hale is both accessible and wonderfully secluded.
