Hale A Kai: Big Island Home w/partial Ocean view, AC &WiFi

Hale A Kai by Gather or Home by the Sea translated from Hawaiian, is nestled at the end of a quiet neighborhood cul de sac. This recently updated four bedroom, four bath home, is aptly named due to its proximity to the ocean, located just minutes away. The island-inspired decor and bright colors of this accommodation make it the perfect home base the next time you’re visiting the Big Island of Hawai’i.

A large driveway, able to accommodate up to four vehicles, along with pleasing tropical landscaping greets you as you pull up to your Big Island vacation rental. As you step inside, the open-concept living space is vivid and inviting, with colorful island-inspired art pieces hung along the walls. The kitchen contains stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher, and ample cabinet space that holds all of the tableware and utensils you need to prepare a proper meal. The window above the kitchen sink provides bursts of sunlight that illuminate the space, and the ceiling fan offers substantial airflow to keep you cool while you’re cooking. Enjoy your meals in the cozy breakfast nook, or spread out at the massive dining room table adjacent to the living room. The bright paint colors add to the beachy ambiance of the living room, with its welcoming furniture and large flatscreen TV. Sliding glass doors bridge the indoor living space with the outdoor patio, with more than enough space to gather for a BBQ and dining al fresco.

The primary bedroom comes complete with a King-size bed, access to a sizable outdoor lanai, as well as its own well-appointed ensuite bathroom with double sinks and a shower/tub combo. The second and third guest bedrooms both have plush King-size beds, as well as their own private ensuite bathrooms. The fourth bedroom is perfect for kids, containing two Twin-size beds with a bathroom nearby. All of the bedrooms are equipped with air conditioning with 4-hour timers and ceiling fans, ensuring your comfort on those balmy island nights.

Hale A Kai is stocked with beach gear for snorkeling, bodyboarding, and relaxing on the beach, including a beach cart with wheels to make carrying all of your things to the nearby beach effortless. When you return to your accommodation after a fun day in the sun, clean-up is made easy when you rinse off in the lanai’s outdoor shower, and throw your swimsuits and towels into the washer/dryer in the garage. Spend the evening sprawled in front of the TV, or use the home’s free WiFi to send the day’s best photos to friends and family back home.

Hale A Kai’s ideal location on Kailua-Kona’s bustling Ali’i Drive means that you’re close to dining, shopping, and people watching, but far enough away from the action to appreciate the serenity of this residential area. When you’re ready to explore, walk down Ali’i Drive to lounge on Magic Sands Beach, a mere five-minute walk from Hale A Kai. Then turn around and make your way up Ali’i Drive, where you have the opportunity to search out cultural wonders like Moku’aikaua Church, the first Christian Church in the state, or Hulihe’e Palace, where royalty once resided.

Perfect property
We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay for our family of 7 adults. The whole house was clean. All of the linens (including provided beach towels) bathrooms & kitchen were spotless. The decor was tasteful and the kitchen was stocked with all the utensils, pots, pans, etc. we needed for cooking & grilling. A clean sponge, coffee filters, a few rolls of paper towels, trash bags, dish detergent & dishwasher and laundry pods were provided. Basic travel sized soap, body wash, shampoo & about 1/2 week worth of tp. The a/c in the bedrooms was nice, but the ceiling fans in every room provided relief from the heat. Forget Magic Sands. We found amazing snorkeling at Kahalu’u Beach Park which was a short drive away. I would not hesitate to refer friends to stay here and would choose it again if we went back to the big island.

Little piece of paradise
The accommodations were everything we were hoping for and more. Location was perfect for the surfers in the family and the beach was amazing for the rest of us to watch them. The property was managed well, by a company that took care of us and were quick to respond when we needed them. 🌺🌴

Beautiful home and perfect location
This property is in a perfect location. Just a quick walk to the beach and to the trolley that takes you into town where you can shop and find any restaurant/bar. The home is clean and can fit your whole family very comfortable. Highly recommend renting this place for your next family adventure!

Family anniversary celebration.
So much to say. The kitchen is well stocked - everything you could need is there. Well, we did go to Good Will and got a slow cooker. The entertainmnet supplies and beach equipment was nice. Previous guests didn't always clean up the sand. Hopfuly we left it better than we receied it. Management was quick to assist us when we needed it. This home is well equipped if you're traveling with little children. I definitely would recommend this for a group or family gathering.

Nice getaway home!
Conveniently located to the beach but offered privacy! Clean and spacious. We appreciated having basic supplies available and toys to play in the ocean that was within walking distance. Highly recommend for family gatherings!
