Welcome to Hale Kai Nalu (“home of the ocean wave”) - a perfect place to call home while you enjoy all that the magic that the Big Island has to offer. Here, everyday stresses will melt away and our Aloha-pace of life will become yours. Make our cozy and private oceanfront home yours while you vacation.

HOME DESCRIPTION
Hale Kai Nalu is a newer 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with spectacular views of the ocean. The master suite is located away from the other bedrooms and includes a walk-in shower, his and hers vanities, and a soaking tub. The 2 guest bedrooms and the guest bathroom are on the opposite end of the home. One of the guest bedrooms offers a wonderful view of the ocean as well while the other offers a garden view.

The home is tastefully furnished and has just about everything you need to make your trip memorable. We provide all linens and towels, complimentary bottled water, and wireless high-speed internet access (bring your laptop). A gas grill and the fully equipped kitchen will provide you with all you need to create gourmet meals.

Lounge in the spacious custom in-ground pool overlooking the vast Pacific or simply enjoy a novel while relaxing on the deck. Soak in the hot tub with the stars above, the sounds of the ocean everywhere, and a nice cool glass of your favorite drink, after a long day of tropical adventure.

VIEWS and WILDLIFE
The view from the property is very special – you’ll be treated to the drama of the waves, white fluffy clouds, beautiful sunrises, passing cruise ships in the distance, and our version of backyard wildlife. Sea turtles, dolphins, whales (Nov-May), and even the occasional manta ray can be spotted from the oceanfront. Mynas, doves, cardinals, geese, great frigatebird, and other birds occasionally drop in for a visit and provide a source of entertainment.

STAYING GREEN
At Hale Kai Nalu, we strive to be friendly to the environment. We have solar water heating, fluorescent lighting, and energy-efficient fixtures. Ceiling fans throughout the home and screened windows allow us to take advantage of the wonderful breezes to cool the home. We partner with a eco-friendly house keeping service to minimize the use of harsh chemicals. Finally, we recycle and make it easy for our guests to participate with conveniently placed bins.

PRIVACY and SAFETY
The entire property is fenced for additional privacy and peace of mind. There is a front entry gate with an automatic opener (a portable remote control is available to allow convenient access from your vehicle). The oceanfront area is accessed through a pedestrian gate that is lockable. Access into the home is easy - there are no stairs and access through the front door is through a slight transition.

LOCATION
The home is located in Hawaiian Paradise Park, about 18 miles from the historic town of Hilo (main town of the Big Island) and 10 miles from Pahoa – you’ll have easy access to various shops and services. It is an ideal location to launch all of your east Hawaii adventures.

Aloha!

                        We had a great time over our 9 nights in the home. First of all, the photos don't do the house justice, it's a great house. We found the location to be very convenient and quiet and really like the area and proximity to things we wanted to do. Once we left our deposit was returned VERY promptly and those of you concerned about the cleaning fee it was more reasonable than any of the fixed rate houses I've rented. I expected it to be a lot higher and we didn't spend a lot of time on our last day cleaning. It was late March and the pool was cool but warm enough to use a few times, kitchen is decently stocked, grill works great, and there's a handy supply of beach items in the closet that make a trip to the beach much nicer. We saw whales out front several days during our visit. I would definitely recommend!

                        Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, people with disabilities, sightseeing, families with young children, romantic getaway, adventure seekers.

                        The view is awesome! We saw a whale! The pool is fun! The home is very beautiful and comfortable for a family. We came to visit our son and his family & all 6 of us had a great time! We are sorry to leave, especially since we are going home to a foot of snow. Also nice to have pool toys and beach supplies.

                        Comfortable home! What more could we ask for? We enjoyed our stay at Hale Kai Nalu. It was a comfortable home base for our visit to the Hilo side of the Big Island. We wish we could have stayed longer. Mahalo

                        So nice hearing the ocean & frogs at night. Love the black cement blending into the real lava. Beautiful neighborhood...We will definitely come back.

                        Written by an impressive 13 year old... It was nice to walk into a clean house after being at the airport for a numerous amount of hours. the hot tub is very nice and was used often. It also was very pleasant to have fresh, beautiful flowers, instead of fake ones. In the morning, it is very nice to have the sound of crashing waves in the backyard. Overall, everything was perfect, and we will definitely consider staying here again on our next trip! Thank you for everything!

                        We have stayed at a few shoreline houses in HPP (Hawaiian Paradise Park subdivision) and this is by far the best! One could sit and watch the view forever. Thank you for thinking of everything when putting this lovely house together. We hope to be back soon.

                        After some initial confusion about the key pad and the key, we felt overwhelmed by the view of the ocean and the amazing lava cliffs. We had a great time swimming in the pool and so had our (rubber) duck.

                        Beautiful sunrises to morning doves and sea spray, star gazing from the pool/hot tub serenaded by coquis and the lull of the sea. Comfy beds & cool breezes to rest after full days. What a great location to take in all the sights and enjoy the local flavors too. Hale Kai Nalu is truly a home away from home with everything we could possibly need (including great neighbors!). Thank you Terry & the great State of Hawaii! It's been wonderful.

                      Year Purchased: 2006

                      Why the Owner Chose Keaau:
                      We chose this location mainly for the peaceful, oceanfront location and its proximity to many of East Hawaii's sights. The half-acre lot provides privacy and the opportunity to create a lush tropical landscape. We're constantly experimenting with plants that thrive in the oceanfront environment so our landscape is wonderfully evolving.

                      The Unique Benefits at this House:
                      Relaxing in the pool and hot tub are our favorite activities when we visit the property. Especially enjoyable is hanging out in the hot tub in the evening while looking out at the stars and moon, smelling the ocean mist, and listening to the surf. Having the full kitchen and grill provides us with the ability to create home-cooked meals while visiting.
