About this property

Current rate is 30% off for Oct-Nov 19! Pool, AC, walk to Waialea Bay

  • Breathtaking vistas meet indoor-outdoor living. Perched in a gated neighborhood, this gracious two-story residence offers panoramic views of Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, the Kohala Mountains, and Waialea Bay from nearly every vantage point . With 3,700 square feet of living space and an expansive 2,000 square feet of covered lanai, it’s built for both comfort and unforgettable sunsets.

    Thoughtfully designed for family bliss. Inside, you’ll find two living rooms and a fully equipped kitchen with a Sub-Zero fridge, propane stovetop, and walk‑in pantry—perfect for preparing meals or gathering with family. A dedicated keiki (children’s) play area comes with a small table and chairs, toys, high chair, and pack‑and‑play, making it ultra‑family-friendly.

    Comfort in every room. All four bedrooms feature air conditioning—though the common living spaces remain open-air, embracing that beautiful Hawaiian breeze. The primary suite on the ground floor includes a king bed, TV, and walk-in closet, connected via a Jack-and-Jill bathroom to a second king-bedded room. An additional full bath opens to the lanai and pool area for added convenience. Upstairs, you’ll find a third bedroom with one queen and two twin beds, as well as a fourth bedroom with a king bed—serviced by a full bathroom with double sinks.

    Resort-style amenities in private serenity. Live the Hawaiian dream with multiple outdoor dining areas, a grill, and your own private pool. There’s even an outdoor shower for rinsing off after beach adventures. Located near Waialea Bay in the Puako area, the home offers access to ocean activities such as snorkeling, swimming, and beachcombing.

    Why Guests Love It:
    Guests consistently rate Hale Wailani highly. Reviews mention sparkling cleanliness, thoughtful amenities, attentive service, and the sheer joy of waking up to ocean views and lounging poolside. One guest described morning coffee on the lanai overlooking the ocean as “dreamy,” while another highlighted the easy beach access and vibrant snorkeling experiences—including spotting octopus and manta rays.

    Hale Wailani is the perfect getaway for families or groups seeking spacious, stylish accommodations, set against the iconic beauty of Hawaii’s Kohala Coast. The captivating views, comfortable layout, and thoughtful amenities make it a destination that creates lasting memories.

    The home is listed as having air conditioning, as each bedroom has AC. There is NOT AC in the other living areas.

A Great Family Destination

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay in Hale Wailani was very nice. We loved the pool and the easy access to one of the best swimming coves on Hawaii. The snorkeling was very good too. Good for multi-generational groups. The house was equipped with just about anything you could want and Mary was great support. Please be aware that the kitchen and living rooms are not air conditioned and can get hot in the afternoon. The heated pool was a lovely way to cool off. We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood, especially the dark skies at night. We saw many shooting stars in August.

House was clean and inviting - it is also gorgeous. Mary from 2 Papayas had opened up the house and turned on the a/c in the bedrooms so that the house was prepared for our arrival. She also left us a very nice welcome basket. It is a very short walk down to the nice and mostly quiet beach. House is well equipped with beach chairs and beach towels. When we were done with the beach, we enjoyed the large shaded lanais and pool. We will definitely rent from Mary at 2 Papayas again!
