Aloha and welcome to Halawai ( the point where heaven and earth meet), a Sanctuary Oasis on the road to Magical Green Sands Beach in Naalehu, HI. We are located half way between Hilo and Kona on a 3 acre peaceful sanctuary in mystical South Point, Na'alehu Hawaii. This is a great place to have as a base when touring the Southern part of the island. Your rental is an entire beautiful, 1 bedroom 1 bath apartment located on the upper floor. There is a grand outdoor staircase to access the upper floor, where you pass through your own private huge Lanai (an outside covered verandah) to relax on and enjoy the herb and flower garden below. You enter the sliding door to a cheery, spacious, clean, welcoming environment full of light, good energy, Hawaiian art and colors!!! For your comfort there is a full kitchen, with island, stove, microwave, and refrigerator, coffee, tea, fruit etc. The bedroom has a new queen sized memory foam mattress to relax and dream in peaceful ease. The adjoining bath has a shower and is very large, and well appointed. There is a full day bed with a brand new memory foam mattress in the living room for day lounging or sleeping another guest or child if needed. * If we are booked please check out our other listing, titled "Sunrise Sanctuary, near Green Sands Beach".

We will give you your privacy during your stay, however, should you have any questions during your time here, or would like recommendations, we would love to share so you have a beautiful experience. We live on the property, bottom level (separate entrance) so if you have a question please text or call me if you don't see me out working in the garden. Mahalo!

This place was so beautiful that we didn't want to go to our scheduled activities during the day. The love and expertise put into developing the gardens and the apartment are apparent in every detail. We loved our stay here, and Ka'Haiya was an amazingly responsive host. Preparing a breakfast with the farm fresh eggs and eating on the balcony while watching the birds was the best part of our vacation.

Great little farm in good location

We had a great stay there. The owner showed us all around her small farm. We enjoyed the place, the birds and goats, and the proximity to Na'alehu, South Point, and Black Sands.The only drawback was not being able to do our laundry onsite. Other than that, it was pretty much perfect!

Paradise

Beautiful gardens and lovely accomodations. Clean and colorful unit with everything we needed. Proximity to south point was great for partner to go fishing off the shore. No AC, but weather is cooler and great breeze coming through house. Evenings were filled with frogs singing. Host was very welcoming and helpful. Would love to stay here again.

Peaceful Retreat

This is our favorite place to stay on the Big Island. If you're looking for a quiet getaway, non resort atmosphere, this is it! The unit is perfectly situated to watch the sunrise from the deck and from bed. The kitchen and bath are well appointed with all the amenities you might need. And the entire space is beautifully decorated, homey, and relaxing. The host is kind and thoughtful. Looking forward to our next visit, before we have even left....

Paradise in paradise! The property is like a small botanical garden. The plantings are beautifully maintained and are the colors of all the different leaves is amazing. Located on a quiet side road, the birds and frogs serenade you with their calls. It is a nice spacious unit with large living room with well-equipped kitchen, master bedroom, and large bathroom with shower. The resident cat, Sweety, will sometimes visit on the lanai. There are chickens, ducks, and goats in the fenced in area in the backyard. We enjoyed every thing about our stay here.

This was a beautiful unique property. It is so thoughtfully appointed with an emphasis on serenity and eco friendly systems. If you are looking for a quiet peaceful place with a a feel of luxury this is the place to go. We had plenty of space for 3 adults and enjoyed making a light meal in the kitchen. The breezes make the apartment light and airy. We were woken by a rooster and watched a beautiful sunrise from our rooms and the lanai. The hostess was extremely helpful.

Oasis near South Point

We chose this property based on reviews, affordability and lovely decor! I am so glad we did. There are many perks to staying here..it may seem remote at first, but it is conveniently located to both sides of the island for day trips. Also, you have all you need in this home for cooking meals. The space is appointed wonderfully with seating and places to relax inside/outside. It is so lovely here. We happen to meet our host a few days in..and wish we met her sooner! I mean..this home is a little piece of heaven. You won't be disappointed.

Amazingly beautiful place with enchanting sunrise view

We enjoyed our too short stay in this beautiful place. I loved the interior decor. The bed was very comfortable and the sheets and towels were luxurious. The kitchen was well stocked. I most loved seeing an amazing sunrise from our deck. South point and the green beach parking lot are just a short drive at end of the road. Can highly recommend. Thank you :-)

It is truly a sanctuary, and the sunrise *was* amazing... as advertised. Tastefully furnished interior, very quiet, and the grounds are lovely too. We got to experience an impromptu guitar set by Ka'Haiya Sophia's friend Junior, which was awesome. Kitchen well equipped (we cooked a full dinner).
