About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

This house, called Hale ‘Uhane, (House of the Higher Self), is located in beautiful Kawaihae Village, near Hapuna Beach. The 3-bedroom hale boasts a very short drive to a variety of world famous and award-winning beaches. Along with the best beaches in Hawaii, there are plenty of activities for the adventurer, or therapeutic relaxation for those seekng serenity. Our wonderful massage chair is just what you need after a long flight or hike.
The house was remodeled down to the studs, so everything is new, from flooring to drywall to a modern kitchen, with quartz surfaces and new appliances. For your comfort, Hale ‘Uhane has a split duct air conditioning system, so that each room can be comfort-controlled to just the right temperature. Newcomers to Hawaii, (Malihini) or visitors will easily locate this “gem" of a property because it welcomes as the first house as one drives into Kawaihae Village. (Tucked behind: fenced-in plants, including coconut and fruit trees, Village landscaping such as fragrant plumeria trees, decks, and a pergola.) Panoramic views include Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa volcanoes as well as the ocean, all the way down the coastline. The pergola on the patio is also easily recognizable and a favorite of guests. It is covered and features solar lights and tiki torches at night, and seating ideal for "pupus" (appetizers) drinks, and conversation. Beyond the pergola is another deck/patio,(uncovered), equipped with seating and chaises, and is good for tanning. The inside of the house is open, with the kitchen and family room/lanai being the main feature, along with the professional quality interior design elements, such as a separate bistro section, a bar, and the efficient use of space.
The family trademark has always been an immaculate home, with modern and comfortable mattresses and a well-appointed kitchen, including an outside grill (this house has a Weber Spirit II, and propane is provided.) There is also a 55” TV with smart options (Netflix, prime video, etc...) provided the guest uses their own account, and high speed Internet.
This home is well-suited to longer “snowbird” visits in the winter, for a couple, or a family vacation.
There is an outside shower, which is handy for the multiple beach trips you can make. The posh hotels (and their public beaches) are close by, so you can enjoy a drink or a meal and sunset there, with all the money you save having your own kitchen, washer and dryer, and free parking. You are as welcome as family here, and please feel free to message through VRBO with any questions! Aloha nui loa. Please see two other immaculate Kawaihae Village homes at VRBO #3544456 and VRBO #3655292

During your stay at this vacation home, you'll be within walking distance of Pu'ukohola Heiau National Historic Site. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the vacation home.

The property was near some of the best beaches in the island. The owners were super attentive. Nick and Nicole sent us a fresh loaf of raisin bread, which we enjoyed with a fresh a cup of coffee every morning,which was also provided. The house had all the amenities we needed. The kitchen was fully stocked. The house was pretty clean. The owners even had a folder with recommendations of places to eat and things to do in the island. Nick and Nicole were very responsive to our inquiries. We' ve stayed at various short-term rentals, but none of them have made us feel so welcomed and at home like Nick and Nicole. Thank you Nick and Nicole for your hospitality.

This place was the perfect home base for an amazing, adventure-filled vacation on Kona. We travelled to Kona with our 3 kids (ages 7, 10, 12), and location was perfect for beach days to Hapuna and Spencer beaches a stone's throw away. One day I even jogged from the house to the beach for some exercise. Lots of great food in Waimea when we wanted to eat out, and well stocked kitchen when we wanted to eat in. The grill was great for grilling kebabs one night, and hamburgers another. Overall the place was very clean, and very well stocked with about anything you could need. The hosts were amazing. Super responsive and helpful. They made us feel so welcome, with toys and boogie boards set out for the kids, and some delicious warm fresh baked bread when we arrived. Highly recommend!

Fantastic Stay!🌺

We had a wonderful stay on the Kohala Coast—-a stones throw from all the beautiful beaches, yet also close to our friends in Waimea. This was a very clean VRBO with a nice BBQ and outdoor area. It was a beautiful home away from home! Loved our time here. Hosts were great! ….till next time….

Best hosts EVER

The house was well-stocked, and the location is beautiful, but what I really need to rave about is the hosts. Nick and Nicole truly care about their guests and made us feel so welcome! Arriving in the evening of the 18th from the midwest (a long trip with two children), we were pleased to find the homemade bread that other reviewers mentioned. Along with butter and jam and a full bag of coffee, it ensured that we'd have something to fortify us in the morning even though we hadn't yet had a chance to get groceries. In addition, there was an adorable stuffed turtle to greet our kids, which delighted them! For Christmas, my husband bought a nice beef tenderloin at the Waimea Butcher Shop; we couldn't find a meat thermometer. A quick text to Nick, and we returned from church on the morning of 12/25 to find one at the door! The hosts also provided numerous recommendations prior to our stay and offered us a late checkout since our flight wasn't until the evening. Their guest comment form specifically asked for maintenance needs we noticed and suggestions for improvement. Nick and Nicole truly care about providing a great experience! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook, the backyard is gorgeous. There were plenty of beach toys, an umbrella, boogie board, and coolers for the beach. Also, there are oodles of towels - and places to hang them. The location is ideal to explore Kohala beaches and take day trips to Volcanoes NP and the Hamakua Coast. Truly a FIVE STAR VRBO!

Little Gem

This place is super ship shape, efficient with space and has everything you need. It also is minutes from some of the best beaches and just up the hill is Waimea. The hosts were more than attentive, checking in with us from time to time. They made us fresh baked bread when we arrived, which we majorly needed as our flight was delayed and we were so hungry. My little one also got a sea urchin sting and Nicole delivered a basket of toys to the door!! Nicholas and Nicole are a lovely couple and really care about their guests. Definitely will be coming back.

Beautiful Beach House, Super Close to the best Beaches and Resorts!

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful and charming beach home! There was plenty of room for our family of four and there was even a bonus bathroom which was perfect for the kids! The house is completely updated and everything felt new. The massage chair is seriously amazing and we would probably come back just for that, but our stay was so perfect, we will definitely return! The hosts are so welcoming and treated us like family. We loved all of the touches like fun lights in the backyard and gear for the beach. The best beaches on the island are so close and we had some amazing meals at the nearby resorts. Staying at this beautiful home with the ability to cook our own food, while taking advantage of the nearby beaches and resorts was the best of both worlds for us!! Thank you for an amazing Hawaiian family vacation!

Can't wait to come back

This was our 2nd visit to Hale 'Uhane. It was an easy decision to stay here again. The hosts are so kind and wonderful. The house has eveything our little family could want. It was well-stocked for beach adventures, plenty of utensils and cookware, room for the kids to run around outside, and a relaxing space outdoors. The lights and tiki torches at night were fun too. We love the location for getting to our favorite beaches early and quick trips to Waimea.

Peaceful Big Island Getaway

We had a wonderful stay and couldn't be happier. The fresh baked bread was as a welcome gift and was fantastic. The property was well stocked with everything you'd need for an extended stay away from home. This is a quiet location away from all the hustle and bustle from the busy tourist areas and perfect for our group. We loved how quickly we could be on our way to a variety of adventures and then return to a peaceful home to visit, cook, watch stars and enjoy cool breezes on the patio with our friends. I would book here again the next time I come to see the big island.

Awesome location, clean and comfortable

My husband and two teenage daughters just stayed for a week and had a great time! The house was very comfortable, well stocked and a great location to our favorite beaches. There were plenty of towels, kitchen needs, and beach gear. We really enjoyed having the boogie boards and sunshade umbrellas. Hapuna beach nearby was amazing for boogie boarding and playing. You can tell the owners really care about their property and guests. They were wonderful and left us homemade bread upon arrival. We also loved the massage chair. We drove to many different locations on the big island, including Captain Cook snorkeling, as well as some waterfalls near Hilo. We enjoyed this location because we could relax at one of the beaches nearby the house, but could have some other adventures around the island when we wanted. We would definitely stay again.

This beautiful home gave me and my kids the peace and quiet we needed. I liked that it was outside of Kona. Yet it was only 3 minutes away from Spencer Beach Park. I've been to Kona three times Spencer Beach Park is one of my favorites cuz it's really easy for the kids to swim there. This is my first time staying at this home and I hope it's available next time I'm on the Big Island! This home has all the amenities you need. Plenty of space for us and we are a family of five. There was a loaf of bread and a bottle of wine waiting for us which I think was very kind of the owners to do.

Best stay ever

Best rental we ever had honestly, we feel truly blessed and loved when staying at this place. The host really means it when they say you're welcome as family! You can feel the love of the hosts from the details of the house. We were welcomed with homemade sourdough bread, butter and jam after a long flight arriving after midnight and no food! We had everything we needed for the beach provided. The massage chair is definitely a bonus and enjoyed by all of us. We asked for the bread recipe at the end of our stay and was even gifted a sourdough starter. We definitely hope to return here someday! Thank you so much for making our Kona trip amazing.

Highly Recommend

We enjoyed this property very much. We were very busy with family during our two week stay and wished we could have enjoyed the property more. The backyard is set up beautifully and the view is wonderful. We LOVED the massage chair and now feel we really need one. Lol. The house us VERY nicely equipped if you’re going to cook and air conditioning in every room. Really a 5 star stay. (The house does back up to a somewhat busy street but it didn’t bother us and traffic slows down a lot at night. We didn’t hear it at all when in the house.) The hosts are very responsive and super nice. Loved the fresh baked bread on arrival. It is also close to some of the best beaches on the Island. We would definitely stay here again!

Great holiday getaway for adult family’s first time on the Big Island

My 84 yr old father, my husband and my sister and I enjoyed this vacation house for the holidays. We were able to visit the whole island’s sites in day trips and come home to great sunsets and bbq dinners. The massage chair was very relaxing while watching a movie. The beach chairs and towels were so nice to take with us and check out beaches and snorkel spots. Very well appointed for activities and rest. Nick was quick to respond to the only issue we had with the router and we were back online! Super hosts!

We love Kawaihae

My family had a wonderful time staying at the property. The hosts were very welcoming and communication was great. The house was exceptionally well stocked and appointed. We were very comfortable. The location 5 minutes from some of the very best beaches on the island made it easy to go down to one beach in the morning, come home for lunch, and then head to another beach in the afternoon. Its also a short drive to Hawi or Waimea for those periods when something other than beach time is called for. We would be very happy to stay there again in the future.
