Step outside this home onto your own private white sand under the shade of your palm tree garden. Hale Kai sits 32' above the water on a pali and within a few minutes of the house, one can snorkel, swim, scuba dive, hike, surf and kayak and enjoy the pristine beauty of a quiet, serene and romantic ocean side setting. You will love lounging on the shaded and tiled lanai overlooking the Pacific Ocean entertained by the locals... Spinner Dolphins, Green Sea Turtles and Humpback Whales. You will really enjoy our new Sunset Pool in the downstairs lanai. The pool will help you cool off on those warmer days and provide a wonderful place to watch the sun slide into the ocean while sipping on a Mai-Tai. The all tiled new pool is definitely a game changer! The Plantation style home has 3000 square feet of breathtaking views from any part of the house and is surrounded by water in three directions and some of the most pristine coral reefs in all the islands. Located conveniently halfway between Kona and Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Hale Kai makes a great base from which to explore the Hilo and Kona side of the island. Lulled to sleep by moonlight on the water, Hale Kai will flow into you as you enjoy the moonlight and stars on the water. Beaches near the Home: 3 beaches lie close to the house. Sea Cave Beach is a 20 minute hike South & hosts a cool sea cave where one can swim. Beyond the sea cave, the beach is about two hundred yards wide & deep. It is a sand & pebble beach & provides great swimming, sunbathing & snorkeling unless there is a large winter swell. The second beach is at Milolii Beach Park where sand pockets are surrounded by lava & coral to form a very quiet wading area for kids with great swimming, snorkeling & scuba further out. Great place for kids to play in the tidepools. Milolii Beach Park is about a 5 minute drive from the house. The third & by far the most spectacular beach is located at Honamolino Bay, a 5 minute drive & then a 20 minute walk from the historic yellow church. It has been touted as one of the most beautiful beaches in all the islands. A true tropical paradise, the water is almost always very calm with many coconuts palms along a crescent of black sand. Location, Location Location: Located conveniently between Kona and Volcano's National Park, this home is a great base from which to explore the island. The lushness of Hilo Town (The City of Orchids) is a beautiful drive through the rain forests of Hawaii Volcano's National Park. The nightlife and restaurants of Kona are less than an hour's drive from the house. The area is quiet and serene with stunning sunsets and lots of room to explore. The Kings Trail runs through here and can be walked for many miles. The kayaks that come with the house can also be used to explore miles and miles of coastline. Secret beaches, sea caves and lots of marine life can be discovered with a trip either up or down the coast. You will see parts of Hawaii that very few visitors ever see. If you are lucky, the local Spinner Dolphins, Green Sea Turtles and Humpback Whales may choose to swim with you. A once in a lifetime experience! National Parks Near Hale Kai: Haunaunau National Historical Monument is North of the house about half an hour and features a comprehensive look back into the ancient Hawaiian culture with a reconstruction of the 'City of Refuge'. Watch an outrigger canoe be carved from a single log as well as sea turtles haul out of the bay. Lots of great info in a beautiful setting. A short walk North at a site called 'Two Step' also hosts some of the islands best snorkeling and diving and a chance to swim with dolphins. Hawaii Volcano National Park is located about an hour's drive East and features one of the only places in the world where one can hike and watch fresh red hot lava waterfall into the sea. Petroglyphs, rainforests, lava caves, a world class visitor center, Hawaii Volcano National Park should not be missed. Guests should easily plan on spending at least a full day here exploring the park and another full day in Hilo hunting out waterfalls and enjoying the Tsunami Museum among other attractions. We want you to have a great time at Hale Kai just like we have over the years and are here to help in the planning process. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Outdoor shower - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Music library - Smart TV - Stereo - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the bay - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Boat - Foosball table - Kayak - Optional golf privileges - Water sports equipment - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Spelunking nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - Unit size: 3,000 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/45000000/44220000/44219600/44219521/w4668h3263x258y0-d84e78ab.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 🏖️Concierge Included | Ocean View | Walk to Beach! | Cental AC Kahaluu-Keauhou - Ocean view - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen 10 Exceptional 45 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-23&endDate=2026-01-24&selected=44219521&PinnedHotelID=44219521&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/20000000/19640000/19638500/19638497/b21813d2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### RELAXING, Away-from-it-All home on the water with small Natural Pool Milolii - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 248 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-23&endDate=2026-01-24&selected=19638497&PinnedHotelID=19638497&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Sun loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33670000/33669000/33668917/w1290h963x0y27-3a4505fb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Nice, Big House near Kehena/ Pohoiki Black Sand Beaches and Lava Fields.

The property was clean, right on the ocean, and at the end of a quiet neighborhood. We loved checking out the local beaches, especially Honomolino, which we basically had to ourselves everytime we went. It is a bit of a trek to get to the house, but we appreciated the relative closeness to some of the top sites we were interested in (Volcano National Park, Punalu'u Beach, etc.). The kitchen was well stocked, which was helpful since a trip to the store is a 30 minute journey. The only issue we had was bugs -- despite vigilant cleaning, we were swarmed with bugs multiple evenings due to pretty sizeable holes in the screens. Without A/C, there's no choice but to keep windows open despite the bugs. New screens throughout the property would help tremendously. ![View from the property ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f533e757-18f3-43f4-9c9e-cdca6b21cb68-1751222792352.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Honomolina Beach - quick 20 minute walk from Milolii](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/674ee900-dfa4-46cb-9048-73104d33818c-1751222792955.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Cyndi K.

While the house is remote from the centre of Kona tourism, the isolation is a great benefit to rest and relaxation. ##### Gordon L. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Terri S.

The home is big, very pretty, with an awesome balcony with panoramic views! We had to reach the owner for a couple of reasons, and he was so polite and responsive. Definitely would recommend! ##### Terri S.

Great views of water and the whales swimming by. The drive down the hill was very curvy and made the trips in and out very planned. Wish the pool had been a little warmer for swimming, but the top deck is where we did most of our hanging out. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 9 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily T.

The house was amazing with all the amenities needed for a week stay. Would recommend having a 4x4 to get to the property. It is not an easy drive to get to neighborhood and is very intimidating the first time you drive it. The drive is worth the views from the house and the lava cliffs tbat are just amazing and serene. Definitely recommend staying here! ##### Emily T. Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mindy E.

The sound of the surf and the view from the lanai were magical. The house was bright and full of ocean breezes with lots of space and delightful artwork. Our host was excellent with a great list of suggested visit activities. Top notch getaway! Our only regret was not booking it for a longer stay. ##### Mindy E.

We were looking to escape the crowds and tourists and this was a great place to do just that. The lack of AC didn’t bother us and the property manager and house keeper were very helpful. ##### Natalie W. Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Krystal H.

You can hear the waves crashing against the sea walls and it’s just magical! There is so much to explore just off site! Our kids had a blast exploring the lava sea cliffs and playing in the tide pools. The neighborhood is quiet, peaceful and safe. We enjoyed having our breakfasts and dinners out in the balcony and the kids loved the soak pool. I would absolutely stay here again! ##### Krystal H.

Amazing water, night skies, and home. So peaceful falling asleep to the sound of the waves when you can pull yourself away from the stars to go to sleep. Great host. Great island. Great home.
