Hale Ohia Seaside Charmer Near Iconic Big Island Beaches!

This is a solar powered 3 bedroom house in Kawaihae located a scenic 30 minute drive to the north of the Kona Airport. Unlike many Hawaiian rental properties, this home is centrally located near pristine beaches, places to eat and shop, and to area towns and areas of interest. The home offers beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean and Kohala Coastline from the back yard.

The home is located in a historic area, within a short 5 to 10 minute drive of the worlds best beaches at Mauna Kea and Hapuna Beach. Buy fresh fish and vegetables in Kawaihae and enjoy grilling your food as the gentle tradewinds blow through the coconut palms and tropical plants on the property. During the winter months, whales make the nearby cove their first destination, and can be seen breaching and surfacing from the beautiful blue waters.

The bedrooms include one California King with memory foam gel topper, one King with new memory foam mattress, and one Queen with memory foam gel topper. There is one bathroom with full tub and shower. The kitchen is fully equipped. Free Wireless internet and cable TV.

This is the perfect destination to enjoy what the Big Island has to offer, while at the same time avoiding the very expensive rates typical of area hotels.

Oasis with Cerulian Ocean Views
Thank you so much for accommodating me on my work trip! I needed a central location, and being close to the beach was a huge bonus. Thank you for a well-stocked kitchen, massage chair, and wonderful down pillows. I am not a good sleeper, but sunk into the memory foam king and didn’t wake up until morning. Lastly, I just booked our vacation with you - two weeks for the four of us, for 1/4 of what a hotel there costs. So glad I discovered Kawaihae…

Great location, well-appointed place. Not for everyone, though: the road literally next to the cabin and the only bathroom for 3 bedrooms might be an issue for other people.

A place we love
Our fourth time at Hale Ohia was as nice as our other visits. The house fits us so well. Ken LOVES the massage chair! Had a night or two with an AMAZING sky full of stars (some light clouds the other nights). We had a concern or two, and they were dealt with, as usual. Nicole and Nicolas are great. It would be a turn off for some people, but I find the light back and forth traffic kind of soothing.

Great Place to Stay on Big Island
The house is lovely and well-kept. The hosts clearly put some love into it. We really appreciated how well-stocked it was with beach and kitchen equipment. The sunsets from the back yard are amazing. The house had more than enough space for my wife, daughter and me. We would definitely stay there again.

First Kawaihae stay
Sweet, very clean little cottage with small bedrooms but oh so comfy beds. It was perfect for the two of us. We’d recommend investing in higher grade, softer pillows if possible as our only suggestion for improvement. The tradewinds can get strong but they also offer a cooling effect that’s welcome in the afternoons. Super convenient spot that’s close to beaches as well as the town of Waimea less than 15 minutes away. Big views! Our hosts were the kindest, most gracious people you could hope to meet and we felt bathed in island aloha from the moment we chose this property. Communication was clear and prompt and their primary goal was for us to have the best time possible. They had us from the moment we walked in and were greeted by a warm loaf of home baked bread, accompanied by fresh butter and jam. Whoa! Truly a relaxing and welcoming stay.

Family vacation
Property had everything we needed to include coffee maker/filter and French press, oils and spices, lots of cookware. Beach toys for kids, snorkel gear, boogie boards, chairs and beach towels. Beds were comfortable and house was clean. The yard is large and there’s a fence along the back boarder so we felt safe with the kids playing outback while we made dinner. We would love to stay at this home again. Short drive to several nice beaches.

A Home Away ! Thanksgiving.
In between Waimea and the beaches. This is a home - and so very welcoming. The hosts have thought of everything … games, cooking, cleaning, internet, tv, direct communications, books, towels, clothes line, landscape, decor. All done with personal kindness. The views - makai and mauka - we are grateful. Mahalo nui loa. And ‘til we meet again.

Second visit to this wonderful house. First time was fantastic, this time was even better. Clean, comfortable with lots of convenience, amenities and upgrades from 2 years ago! The back yard is a wonderful place to relax. Excellent hosts that communicate well and promptly. Once again they welcomed us with thoughtful and delicious goodies. Hopefully we can make it back very soon!

5 Minutes to World-Class Beaches!
This was our third stay at this beautiful and immaculate home. Hale ‘Uhane is tucked away in Kawaihae Village, with the volcanoes in the distance and beaches within the view. The home is well-stocked and the amenities left us not needing to make the multiple trips to the store we usually have to “fill in” gaps where other rental properties have been lacking. We feel safe and cared-for at this home. From the garden swing with morning coffee and ocean view, to star-gazing in the calm night, this home is a great value - your private slice of paradise!

Great visit, once again
Once again, very much enjoyed this property. Perfect fit for me and my husband. The new massage chair is amazing! And nothing beats sitting in the backyard, having breakfast, with that incredible view. Nicole and Nicholas are great. We love Kawaihae. It’s off the beaten path, but it’s a sweet spot. And this is an easy jump to three of our favorite beaches on the island. Note: it doesn’t bother us, but the property is on a road, and there are cars and trucks going back-and-forth during the day. So it’s not for everyone.

This has become a favorite place for our family to stay when visiting the Big Island. Home is well appointed with plenty of space and amenities. Yard is a huge plus with kids. Just a few minutes to our favorite beaches or Kawaihae food and shopping. Only 10 min to Waimea for groceries, park, farmers market, etc.

I stayed here with my mom and sister. We hope to return! We loved the proximity to great beaches and the house was jam packed with everything you might need. We were taken care of in every aspect of check-in and felt warmly welcomed. It’s a quiet neighborhood with great landscaping and a lovely view of sunset. You are above a fairly busy road, but that didn’t bother us. We were so comfortable and had such a relaxing visit. Thanks for the hospitality!

On the outside edge of a cluster of several homes, this house was clearly the nicest of all of them. Very well taken care of and decorated for the Hawaiian vacationer, this house is quiet and comfortable yet a close drive to Waimea and beaches. We were very happy with our stay.

Nice property with great outdoor lanai area. Really well equipped with everything you need for an awesome stay in Waimea area. Great kitchen and outdoor grill, all good quality appliances. Really handy to Spencer Beach Park and Hapuna and tons of other great coastal spots. Also handy short drive to local Waimea restaurants (Seafood Bar & Grill), as well as local fresh produce market and fish market. We were not really concerned about road noise, there is some during the day, but not a big deal overall. We would stay here again!

We slipped into aloha from the minute we crossed the threshold of this charming cottage. [Actually the spirit began even earlier because of excellent, timely communications.] This is a turnkey / no worries experience thanks to hosts who have thought about everything a guest might look for in advance. Lovely and well-maintained landscape, best stocked kitchen, beach gear. Fast internet. Excellent appliances and linens. Detailed instructions. Did I mention SO CLEAN? Mahalo for so many joys you provided for these guests. Aloha 'til we stay again @ Hale Ohi'a

Perfect in every way! Most relaxing VRBO stay ever!
This house is so full of character - Hawaii style! Everything was sparkling clean, and very well equipped. You will find just about everything here that you have in your own kitchen. Very well stocked, including beach towels and beach chairs. Nick and Nicole are the most gracious hosts I've ever met-they feel like family. Great communication, and very attentive to any questions or needs. We were even greated with a loaf of fresh baked bread, butter and jam, a bottle of wine and macadamia nuts! As a bonus, the house has a massage chair that we used daily to top off our already relaxing days. The yard has a lush lawn, picnic table perfect for happy hour and sunset view over the ocean. The best thing, it's a 5 minute drive to the beach! We loved Nick and Nicole, and the house. We'll be back!
