Another lovely vacation
Second trip to Hawai’i, second time staying at Hale Lani. We love the location of and the view from this house. It’s well-equipped: beach umbrellas, beach chairs, fluffy beach towels, good kitchen, grill, outdoor seating, and a smart tv if you want to watch something other than the sunsets. Aloha Nicole and Nick, thanks for sharing the house with us!

Evenings of sunsets and BBQ's
We had an absolutely wonderful stay. Nicole and Nicholas went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and well supplied in the house. All of the little details that make the difference were handled. We arrived very late in the evening to a fresh loaf of bread and butter, a bottle of wine, and coffee beans for the morning. What a joy for a late flight. The view on the lanai is to die for and the proximity to the beaches is wonderful. We have been doing VRBO rentals on the Big Island for the last 7 years and this was the best rental we have stayed at for both the property and the hosts. Thank you - we plan to return!

Very clean and great location!
Loved how clean and well stocked the rental was. The beach umbrellas and chairs they provided were super helpful. Beautiful oceans views (just don’t expect a lush tropical landscape, this is the dry side of the island). 5-15 minutes away from lots of awesome beaches. Hosts were great with communication and provided lovely touches like a bottle of wine, freshly baked bread and a bag of coffee. And only 15 minute drive to cute town of Waimea. Only downsides are a bit of traffic noise, master bathroom doesn’t have a door and a few ants (but the hosts were upfront about it and they leave as soon as fast as they appear)

We had a great visit with easy access to the Kohala beaches. The backyard has a great view of the ocean with plenty of seating where we could read our books, drink cold beverages and not have to compete with crowds. We would love to stay here again.

Amazing family getaway!
Our little family had the best stay here! The house was extremely well stocked, the space was perfect for our family of four and we made so many memories here, but what really put things over the top were our wonderful hosts. They were extremely thoughtful throughout our stay from the fresh baked bread at check in after our late flight, to dropping off a basket of toys for our boys on a day that looked like it might rain, to letting us hang on to the snorkel gear and boogie boards for the day after checkout to pass the time before our flight home at the beach in style. The house was an incredible home base for all of our adventures on the Big Island, and we hope to be able to stay here again if we get the chance to come back!

Wonderful home, wonderful hosts
We had a lovely time staying at Nicole and Nicholas’s home. It was spotless when we arrived, and the thought that went into the extras they provided (fresh baked Hawaiian bread, Hawaiian sodas in the fridge, coffee and more) combined with how helpful they were if we needed anything, made our stay extra special. Location is very convenient to several beaches. This is a perfect choice if you don’t care for the resort vibe and want your own outdoor space. The only thing is there is some noise from the road if you are hanging outside but otherwise, Nicole and Nicholas’s spot is a gem. Highly recommended.

Great Spot Away from Crowds
Property is well taken care of and Nicole and Nicholas took great care of us. The house had everything we could have needed for our stay to include beach items. House is located closer to many of the beaches, but farther away from the more urban Kona area. We really enjoyed the location and home. The small issue we had was quickly resolved and didn't impact our stay at all. Highly recommend for your tropical getaway.

Perfect from sunrise to sunset
We had the good fortune of staying at this wonderful home for about a week and a half. My son is a boarding student up in Waimea, which was an easy drive for him each morning. I also had a friend visiting and we loved the location because it was close to the beaches as well as a good launchpad for adventures to Hawi, Pololū, two-step and pine trees beach not to mention many stops at Hapuna. We made frequent use of the beach supplies, including chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, snorkel gear and towels. The home is decorated in true Hawaiian style and the neighborhood is close to everything but not touristy - a great way to experience the island “like a local”. The lanai and yard were perfect for watching the sunrise with a cup of coffee or enjoying the sunset with a glass of wine. The kitchen was extremely well stocked, and functional. We would cook up a great meal and head to the nearby Blue Dragon to take in some live music under the stars. Self checkin was also a breeze and we were greeted with a loaf of homemade bread as well as other little treats. Nicole and Nicholas were responsive hosts who have thought of everything to make the stay enjoyable and memorable. Mahalo!!

Amazing stay!
If you are looking for a beautiful home with a wonderful view, look no further than this house. All the reviews spoke of the property having everything you could possibly need. They were not exaggerating. Nicole and Nicholas have gone to great lengths to ensure you will want for nothing. We all felt like we were staying in a five star resort! Even a couple small issues that came up during our month long stay were immediately dealt with. That in itself was extremely impressive! We arrived to all kinds of thoughtful goodies. From wine to coffee to freshly baked bread with butter and jams. There was tea and all kinds of Macadamia Nuts. It was an incredible way to start our trip! The only downside was the traffic noise but it was a small sacrifice for the quality of home, the care we received and the views. Thank you for opening your home to us. I can’t imagine ever staying some place else!

Great stay!
The photos are good and accurate, the house is even more beautiful! Spotlessly clean, very large and comfortable , an incredible kitchen, beautiful views of the ocean and mountains from the outside space, a helpful notebook of information listing more options than you could do, tasteful decor, etc. It's all terrific! The hosts were very attentive and communicative. We were welcomed with a bottle of wine, coffee and tea, and lovely candies. The area is quiet and peaceful and very different from the tourist filled bustle of Kona. This also means that nothing is within walking distance, a car is absolutely necessary, yet everything from beaches to supermarkets to fine dining is from 5-30 minutes away. We enjoyed exploring the Kohala coast, enjoying the beautiful beaches, having lunch at Merriman's in Waimea, and take out poke from the fish store in Kawaihae. All in all, this was a fabulous house with great views and lots to do in the area. Thanks for the wonderful few days - it went way too fast.

I've been to Big Island several times. This is one of my favorite locations if you love the BEACH! 5/10 min. to some of the best beaches on Kona. We went to the beach 5 out of 7 days. I've also stayed at many vacation rentals and this one by far was the best stocked. Beach equipment/kitchen was great, as we cooked every night. The home was very comfortable.
