Perfect stay, like coming home!

We had a wonderful 10-day stay; this property is so well-appointed, you'll want for nothing! From beach gear down to laundry detergent, beds were made, it was spotless - they even provided beach bags, hats and robes to use during our stay! We lived in Kona for a few years and coming to this house was like coming home. Even the neighbors were lovely.

Good for family

Location was convenient to Kailua without the congestion and noise of the town. Very central to beaches, shops, and dinning. The house is very nicely equiped for any cooking situation. Water toys are available for use. The outdoor shower was handy for rinsing dive gear and just getting the sand off.

Nice house in Kona

The house is well laid out and very comfortable. The appliances are all high quality. The weather control was very good, quiet and effective. The outdoor eating space had a nice view, including the ocean. The location was convenient for visiting the west side beaches and restaurants in the town. Altogether I recommend this house highly.

Can’t wait to stay here again

This was the most organized and well maintained property we have stayed at! The property manager was super responsive. For example, we told her we were missing beach umbrellas, she promptly came and brought us new ones. The AC was perfect and was much needed as well! The dvds were great for the kids and adults alike.

Wonderful

We loved the house. First, the location was great. Right in Kona, but the neighborhood was quiet and serene. Second, the view was amazing. We looked forward to sunrise and sunset. Third, the house had everything we could possibly need. The host supplied a lot of things for us to use. Very thoughtful. The house was open and airy, and met all of our needs.

Property managers were really nice to work with. The area is neighborhoody-only houses. but its nice. view is really nice, clean and safe. there is some area to walk around, but you have to leave the gated community to get a real walk in. close enough to stores that you can get whatever you need. the washer and dryer are good and fairly large capacity

Absolutely perfect!

Having stayed at other rental properties, they often feel like- well, rental properties. Hale Alaula is miles beyond anything we could've asked for! This felt more like staying at a family member's home. What we loved: The beds were very comfortable! Beach gear was available to us in the garage. The property was BEAUTIFUL! The plants were enough to keep us in awe for hours. The property management was incredibly accommodating and patient with my (many) questions. The community is peaceful and gated. The views were amazing from the lanai. The proximity to everything you'd want to do in the area is perfect! Communication was swift and clear, and everything we could hope for. The decor felt like home. So much so, that my little ones decided to "camp out" on the couch the entire stay. The hot tub was perfect after a day of hiking waterfalls! The outdoor shower was clutch after days at the beach. The drawers in the kitchen were stocked with little things we might need, like tape or scissors. Movies to watch and streaming services in downtime on the TVs. What we didn't like: Leaving was a bummer. I have honestly never stayed at a better property at any location. Genuine love and attention goes into this place and it shows. You feel the Aloha Spirit at Hale Alaula!! We will book all future trips to Hawaii around the availability of this property. Mahalo!

Paradise found!

This is our 3rd visit to Hale Alaula house. We stayed for 2 weeks. The listing description is 100% accurate in terms of space, layout and amenities provided. The location of this house is the best on the big island. Less than 5 minutes down the hill you will find Starbucks, Walmart and a Safeway supermarket. It is an 8-10 minute drive to Ali'i Drive in Kona where you will find shops, beaches and fabulous restaurants. The house is beautifully decorated, clean, cozy and makes you feel like you're home. The gourmet kitchen is fully equipped with appliances, pots and pans, coffee maker, dishwasher, plus a washer & dryer. Enjoy a great BBQ on the lanai which has an unobstructed view of the Pacific ocean. Sunsets are stunning! Relax in the backyard after a day of swimming or sightseeing in the hot tub and the outdoor shower you will absolutely love! The owners have gone out of their way to provide boogie boards and snorkel equipment for your use and enjoyment. Flat screen TV's throughout the house, strong WiFi signal and a large library of DVD's. In all of our travels over the years, we have never experienced a more relaxing comfortable home and we plan on returning every year! It"s as if you were in your own home in paradise. Rita G.

Amazing Property

We loved the location of this property. It was so convenient to shopping and downtown, but was in a quiet neighborhood with lots of street parking. The amenities were more than we could ask for. The owners had thought of everything and were generous in sharing. The kitchen had so many nice appliances, dishes, spices, cooking utensils, vases, etc. and I think we used them all! There were sun hats, which came in very handy, beach toys and chairs, towels, etc. We had a wonderful time and much of it was thanks to this property! I would definitely recommend as a premium place to stay.

Perfection in Paradise

We brought our entire family along. The house was simply PERFECT. Enough space to have privacy but cozy enough for family bonding. The teens loved the hot tub after a great day of surfing. And the whole gang played board games on the lanai until the wee hours. We loved being able to grill or cook a family dinner in the well equipped kitchen. The hosts thought of EVERYTHING!!! They even had coolers, sun hats, beach towels and bath robes. The location is awesome too. Close to shopping, walkable to town and the beach bur removed from the hassle bustle and peaceful for early morning coffee or watching the sunset. We were only a 10 minute drive to my sisters house and close to all the attractions we wanted. We usually like to find new places when we travel but,... We will definitely rebook our little slice of heaven in Kona.

This was a great place! We enjoyed the cool mornings sitting watching the sunrise and the ocean. The evenings were just as relaxing watching the ocean and the sunset. Listening to the birds and watching the palm trees sway. The spa was great for a relaxing time at night. It was well stocked with all necessary utensils, etc. It was close to everything in Kona and not a far drive to the beach. We loved it!
