Description

Welcome to Hale Hamakua!

This beautifully decorated 4 bedroom, 2 bath home is located on a private acre parcel along the Hamakua Coast just north of Hilo where there is nothing to block your views of the mighty Pacific! The large open windows fill the home with light, beauty and magnificent views. Come during the winter months and you will have a front row seat for all the whale activity that you can possibly take in.

The kitchen is large and easy to work in and of course has all the amenities that you will need to cook up those scrumptious island meals. The master bedroom with its en-suite bath, king size bed, private ocean view lanai and entertainment center with TV and DVD, plus wall AC unit is the perfect escape after a long day of sightseeing.

For the other members of your family and kids, there is a TV room, too with another flat screen TV and DVD player. There are 3 other bedrooms with a queen (with wall AC unit), a full size bed (with wall AC unit), and one twin, plus 2 twin sofa beds in the living room. Everyone gets their own space!

From this convenient location, explore old Hilo town with its great farmers market and historical museums and must see stops. Also discover beautiful Akaka Water Falls Park and the Old Mamalahoa Highway, the original highway built back in the 20’s that took you from Hilo town to the beautiful horse country of Waimea.

From the house, you’re only a short 20 minute drive to the south to Hilo, 20 minutes to the north to Honokaa town, Waipio Valley and from there just another few minutes to the beautiful white sandy Hapuna Beach.

Come to Hale Hamakua, your vacation destination on the east side of the Big Island!

Please expect to share your space with some of our friendly Hawaii geckos, lizards, birds, and plants.

The views alone make this house worth it. It was very private and quiet, a great place to relax. The house was spacious and comfortable. The backyard was gorgeous and very well maintained. We enjoyed the AC in 3 of the 4 bedrooms. We really appreciated that it was stocked with things like beach chairs, a beach umbrella, towels, snorkel gear etc. Management was great and made it easy to find the house.

On the downside, the Wi-fi was pretty weak, and we didn't have any cell service, so be prepared to disconnect a bit during your stay. The towels smelled very musty, so we had to re-wash them, which helped a little, but still didn't totally get rid of the smell. One of the railings on the porch was a bit loose, so you needed to be careful not to lean on it.

Otherwise, it was a great stay and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there!

Our family of 6--4 adults and 2 teenagers--enjoyed staying at this house in early July 2023. Our stay was delightful. The house was clean, well equipped, and ideal for our needs. It was so nice being able to look out at any time of day and seeing the ocean and beautiful clouds in a deep blue sky. It was fun watching geckos on the outside of the house. We used the television only once, to watch videos we had captured while snorkeling with green sea turtles. There is very limited access to groceries nearby, but Hilo was close enough that we could pick up anything we needed, usually while traveling to our many destinations on the island. It was nice having access to a washer and dryer. The kitchen contained all the tools we needed to prepare our meals, so we ate very well (probably too well). When I asked how everyone like the house, they all said it was ideal and they would like to return someday. I fully agree.

This property is quite out of the way, far from the bustle of Hilo but close enough to make trips into town easy. We found it to be a good home base for seeing all that the Big Island has to offer. The property’s outdoor spaces are absolutely wonderful! We loved watching birds, whales, and chickens while our young boys ran around the back yard. We like to cook and the kitchen had just enough to enable us to make whatever we wanted. Everything was clean and functional, and the supply of beach chairs, snorkels, flippers, boogie board, and cooler were much appreciated for our family trips to the beach. We would stay again for sure.

Beautiful Views!

We had a wonderful experience at this property. We were there with our three adult children and their partners for a total of eight adults. The kitchen was well equipped, there was an extra table so that the eight of us could all sit down to dinner together. The property was beautiful and well maintained, the house was clean and nicely decorated. The lanai was amazing and the sunrise was worth getting up early!
The only complaint was that the 4th bedroom was only a single room and no air conditioning and no screen, so one of the couples had to sleep on the pull out in the tv room. Not a big inconvenience as the pull out was comfortable but it’s important to know that the fourth bedroom is not set up for a couple.
Overall, an excellent experience that we would highly recommend!

Our group of four adults found the house to be comfortable. We cooked most of our meals at the house and found that it had what we needed in regard to pots and pans etc. The main disappointment in that regard was the lack of a good gas BBQ (although there is a small grill).
Manager response on 2019-11-03 - Response from Hawaii Life
We are so happy you had a wonderful and comfortable stay ! The property manager literally just replaced the grill with a new gas grill yesterday. They deteriorate so rapidly here, especially at an Oceanfront home. We'll also take a look at the pots and pans.

This is a nice home with a great view of the ocean. We enjoyed sitting on the deck, feeling the ocean breeze, and watching the ocean. It's not too far from Hilo, but far enough that you feel you're out in the countryside. There is a general store close by if you need to pick up a few things, otherwise Hilo is about 20 minutes away with nice local restaurants and big box stores.

We really enjoyed they stay here. The owners/managers of the property are very nice and very accommodating.

We loved the location of this house. It's close to Hilo, but still only a short drive to some great snorkeling locations on the Kona side. There are some great hikes just a few minutes away.

Really beautiful view from a very nice home. For the price, a real winner other than one thing: No central air conditioning. Only 2 of the 4 bedrooms had functional window A/C units (one didn't have A/C at all, the other had a window unit that wasn't putting out cold air) and got quite warm in the rest of the house. The "family room" is a converted garage that looks fine, but only minimal seating and very warm. This on days that never got above 82. Would we go again? Absolutely. It was amazing for the 2 of us. But if you have need for more than 2 bedrooms, it might be a bit too warm.

Aloha, thank you for your review and recommendation. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay with us regardless of the Air Conditioning, we will definitely follow up with the functionality of the units. Mahalo for being such pleasant guests and we look forward to seeing you again!

The view was awesome... unbelievable...
The house was a good size...
We stayed long enough to locate another place to stay because the wall units were 10+ years old and it was 86 degrees. The house was HOT. We left, I was charged for 1 night and stayed 30 mins.

Sunrise and sunset views from home are incredible. Very quiet location that is convenient to both Hilo and Waimea. Home had everything we needed. We hope to stay here again on our next visit.

What a beautiful location to make our homebase during our time on the Big Island. We saw whales spouting from the deck as we drank our morning coffee, and spent hours at night gazing at the stars. Inside, the bedrooms were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with supplies. Our only tiny critique is that the living room could have use a refresh—such as a coffee table, and New chairs to replace the broken recliners. But we were so appreciative of the fresh flowers on the dining room table, and the cooler and bath towels in the closet, which were a welcome surprise and incredibly helpful for many of our daytrips.

I am so happy to hear that you had a wonderful stay, and enjoyed the whale watching! We are planning on sprucing up that room with new furnishings when the new owners arrive in February. We greatly appreciate your review as well.

A truly wonderful stay !

We very much enjoyed our stay - the house was in excellent condition, clean and well stocked with all and everything one would need to have a restful vacation. The peace + quiet and the fantastic view from the back porch was exactly what we needed - a big thank you to Jeana and her team.

Hale Hamakua is a beautiful home with well landscaped grounds. Although the home has limited AC, opening the windows to allow the cooler breezes in made it comfortable. The AC was in 3 of the 4 rooms and provided a comfortable nights sleep.

We got in late and had no idea of the views until the following morning. Wow, views were amazing. Not only from the lanai, but from two bedrooms and main living space. Home was beautifully decorated and had beach gear for us to use.

This home is in the country, so expect gekkos inside and outside the home. That’s country living. I would absolutely stay here again.

Location and View are the primary features of Hale Hamakua. We all enjoyed waking up to the sunrise and having that early morning cup of coffee or tea on the lanai. Hilo was an easy 20 minute ride away. I think the house could use a maintenance update. Several screen sliders need to be repaired or replaced. Some windows lacked screens and could not be opened. The covers to old A/C units are rusty and unsightly and should be removed. Some furniture could be updated. Kitchen seemed reasonably equipped. Representative from the property management company was accessible before we arrived in Hawaii and during our stay. This property has a lot of potential because of the view and I would stay there again if the condition of the property, but the condition of the property could be improved. I would recommend to a friend, based on the same criteria.

Home is beautiful. The views are worth a million dollars. Nice quite area. The only thing we would recommend is air conditioning. There were three rooms with window air conditioners but living room an kitchen and 2 living room were very hot during daytime. Home is furnished with everything you need to make the stay more enjoyable. We will recommend this home to others. We gave 4 stars only because of no central air in the home.
Manager response on 2019-09-09 - Response from Hawaii Life
We are so happy you had a wonderful stay ! central air is not common on the island homes, and we have had a heat wave this last August that is not typical. We greatly appreciate your review as well.
