OCEANFRONT Cliff house ~ RELAX to the Sound of Waves ~ SPECTACULAR Views

This house features 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom on the main level, a large loft with a bathroom upstairs and a good sized lanai looking out at the ocean with an outdoor dining set, BBQ and additional seating. Newly purchased and undergoing phased renovations.

Just what we needed
We booked this property as it had just the space we needed for our family of four (12yo and 14yo) as we explored the east coast of the Big Island. Living in the country, we are used to traveling 30 mins to things, so it was no sweat for us to travel to go to Hilo or Volcanoes. The house provided all that was promised and more. No complaints at all! Beautiful views, clean, well-stocked home. It was a great experience!

Beautiful Location and sunrises
We had an amazing time staying at your home! The sunrises were amazing, even with the daily clouds. This produced various colors for our pictures. The house was clean, easy to check in and the kitchen was well stocked. Thank you for a great vacation and we hope to come back again someday.

Amazing again!
We stayed at Hale Kailani for a month from Feb to Mar, 2024. This was the second time we stayed here (previously for a month in Jan, 2022) and it did not disappoint. Tina and David are the ultimate VRBO hosts – always available and responded immediately to any questions we had. The house was extremely well appointed and clean when we arrived. The views from the cliff side lanai are amazing and we saw too many whales and turtles to count while enjoying a coffee during the sunrise, or a Mai Tai during the afternoons. The area is quiet and has lots of great areas to walk and is relatively close to Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park and the town of Hilo. We did a fair amount of cooking and found most everything we needed easily at hand… our home away from home. For close by food to takeout, we really enjoyed the Huli Huli chicken at the roadside stand near Paradise Drive and Keaau-Pahoa Road. In the nearby WH Shipman Business Park, you will find the Ma’ona Lunch Counter and the Wailuku Brew Works - not much in the way of ambience, but the food and beer can’t be beat! Thank you Tina and David for allowing us to stay at your Hale Kailani again – if we get back to the Big Island, we will not hesitate to stay with you again. Mahalo!

Absolute paradise
Our stay was just wonderful. The home itself was welcoming and perfectly appointed with everything we needed during our visit. The views from the loft and living/ dining room were so breathtaking. I didn’t notice the large tv in the living room for the first 3 days, the view was that eye-catching. Plenty of space to accommodate our family and friend. We would recommend staying at this home to anyone looking for a relaxed paradise. The neighborhood was nice and easy to navigate, good for a morning walk. We all hope to stay again. Mahalo to our hosts, Tina and David. They were quick to respond to any questions and provided great local recommendations.

This property was stunning! It had incredible views, was very clean, and the property owners thought of everything we could need. We had plenty of room for our family of 6. We were all comfortable and truly enjoyed both the indoor and outdoor spaces. We even saw a whale right off the back patio on our last day! Incredible! We would definitely stay here again and hope to in the future!

Hilo Vacation
Awesome private place. Neighborhood quiet and pretty. Hearing and seeing the surf all the time was amazing. My kids LOVED it and we would stay here again if visiting Hilo area. The "no AC" was NOT an issue. Ocean breeze was "natural AC". Kind of a drive to Hilo and Volcanoes National Park but not difficult and worth the view and seclusion.

Beautiful view for a great stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would gladly do it again. Views were gorgeous, neighborhood (people) quiet even on Memorial Day weekend, and the house has lots of thoughtful amenities. My cautions: Stairs are unavoidable, and/or if you want AC for comfort or consistency, this isn’t for you. It rains several times a day and you must close the windows (and leave them closed if you leave the house). The coqui frogs are also quite loud, which we found charming. Others might not. We had one question during our stay, and the hosts were responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay again if we have the chance.

Wonderfully well thought-out
Tina and David's place is exceptionally well thought-out. There are loads of little touches everywhere that make it clear this isn't just a side rental project for them--beautiful art on the walls, loads of extra beach towels, umbrellas by the door, a super well-stocked kitchen, a bluetooth speaker, and so forth. Every time we thought "wouldn't it be nice if...", they'd already anticipated the idea. Communication was superb, the location on the cliffs is beautiful (we saw whales every day from the deck), and everything was super-clean. Two thumbs up! Thanks, Tina and David!

This house had everything we could have wanted. We sat on the cliffs and watched the whales, visited the active volcano, and so much more. You are close to pahoa village and the red road. After visiting various island and towns around Hawaii, this may be my favorite spot. Mahalo for everything!

Ocean cliff stunner
We loved every part of our stay at this property. The house was equipped with everything you could possibly need. The beds were extremely comfortable and all areas of the house were perfect for both family time and just relaxing with a good book. The loft area was a bit warmer than the other areas of the house but were equipped with extra fans that came in handy. Best part of each day was the sunrise and set just relaxing on the lanai with a cup of coffee. The location is far enough away from the world but close enough if you want to go explore.

Tranquility by the Sea
What an amazing stay! From the lovely welcome basket of goodies to the gorgeous ocean views, this stay had everything! The balcony views were a highlight…we enjoyed early morning sightings of spinner dolphins as well as amazing nighttime views of the full moon. This place had just about every amenity we could ask for. It was a great distance from both Hilo and Volcano and this was a perfect jumping off point for all of our outdoor adventures. Absolutely would stay here again!!

Beautiful and fully stocked!
This is a wonderful home to stay in. When I read "fully stocked" in other reviews, I had no idea what they meant until I arrived. There wasn't one thing we needed that we couldn't find in a cabinet or kitchen drawer. It truly felt like we were visiting our friend's home, junk drawer and all! Tina and Dave even provide a computer, which we used to plan our day. The gift basket of soap, cookies, and coffee was wonderful and so thoughtful (and the cookies are fantastic). The views from the lanai were perfect - we saw multiple rainbows over the ocean, and a few nene birds. We spent a lot of time on the lanai, but it does get hot when the sun comes up as there is no shade at all. The house is a bit far from everywhere that you'll want to go, but it is centrally located between VNP and Hilo, which was nice. I don't think that there's any one location on the island where you can stay and not have to drive a lot, as it is definitely a "big" island. We tried to go to Kaleo's Bar and Grill in Pahoa, but they were closed - not sure if that was for the day or the season, but I would call ahead if you go there, as Google thought they should be open. The house is very peaceful and in a quiet location. If you turn off all of the lights in the house and look up at the sky, you can see an infinite number of stars. It's a great place to unwind and enjoy your vacation. Mahalo to Tina and Dave for inviting us into your home!

This was a great property with an amazing view. I was a bit worried prior to staying because there was no a/c, but it really was manageable. The breeze off the ocean was incredible and air really moved through the house well to keep it comfortable. The house was very clean and well stocked. The owners were really great about keeping touch prior to and during out stay, they clearly want your experience to be good. They even left a little gift basket with water, soaps, and some cookies. Definitely would be staying here again!

Outstanding!!!
We stayed at Hale Kailani for a month over Christmas 2021 and it was our perfect home away from home! It was even better than the pictures and we were very pleased to find it exceptionally clean when we arrived. We’ve also not ever seen such a well appointed VRBO. They really had thought of everything from extra toothbrushes, suntan lotion, most things you would want for cooking, and even umbrellas! Tina and David were super responsive and easy to communicate with and gave us lots of recommendations and things to see and do. The views from the lanai were amazing and we spent a lot of time on it searching for whales and spinner dolphins, or star gazing at night. We also enjoyed falling asleep to the sounds of the Coqui frogs! Overall, it was a fabulous vacation, and we would stay here again without a doubt!
