This gorgeously designed home is topped off with a 3rd story "whale watch" retreat that offers 360 degree views across the land and ocean from the sunrise over Mauna Kea to the sunset over the Pacific Ocean.

  • we wish to thank the Jenny Family for the use of their beautiful vacation home in Puako, Big Island Hawaii. Our time there will not soon be forgotten and was enjoyed by all who were privileged to experience it. The home was not only architecturally impressive, but also well-appointed, well staffed, and exceptionally maintained. Thanks for everything that was provided during our stay and all for the exceptional customer service that preceded it. Mahalo

  • What a magnificent property. We walked on to the deck and beach and didn't leave for 5 days. Not only is it a beauty architecturally but the Jenny's have thought of EVERYTHING! From the espresso maker to the kayaks, great beach towels to all Big Island guide books, the media room to outdoor dining, we discovered that this beautiful home was set up to satisfy just about any needs or desires. We enjoyed the pool including so many bathing birds that joined us, the ocean, the sea turtles, the magnificent views at each level of the home, sleeping with the sounds of the sea with walls open in the master suite, cooking in the state of the art kitchen, the palms and the glorious sunsets (shared with equally awestruck neighbors)and we could go on and on. We had a delightful stay in this beautiful home. We will definitely return!

  • As an architect who is familiar with high level design in Hawaii, I was extremely impressed with your fabulous vacation home. From the moment I arrived on your property I felt connected to Hawaii in every sense. From the large lava paved drive to the tropical exposed beam design, your home radiates “Aloha.” The oceanfront setting and orientation completely works with every detail thought out for a relaxing vacation. Your home allowed me to embrace Hawaii’s tropical paradise every moment I was there. I am already planning my next trip to your lovely home. Mahalo,

  • My extended family of 8 spent a week in this beautiful house. Every aspect was better than we expected (and our expectations were high). The view is spectacular, the pool is lovely, the snorkeling was amazing (we saw sea turtles every single day), and the house is beautifully decorated, comfortable, and welcoming. The landscaping and vegetation make you feel you are alone on the beach. Our experience also benefitted from hospitality that is unusual in a rental. The house manager was solicitious and charming, and the owner even installed a handicap grab bar for my father in the ground floor bathroom. Absolutely the best choice we could have made for our vacation. You will not want to leave.

  • I recently had the privilege of staying in this beautifully appointed luxurious home. The bedroom room views are extraordinary, as is the warmth and love these owners of have put into the design of this home. The beach is a few steps from the infinity pool, and with a few paddles in your Kayak you're in the bay, looking back at the Kohala coastline. I highly recommend staying here and look forward to doing so again. For the price, this home is well worth the experience.

  • The anticipation of our vacation always seems to be best part at least that was in the past. Our family had a complete different experience at Hale Nana Kohola where the stay was better than the anticipation. It was more wonderful than we could have ever expected. This home is not only amazing in every way, like a topical paradise and the neighborhood is truly a neighborhood. We loved meeting the people that came out to see the sunset, which was most always spectacular. We loved the neighborhood store, where we were always greeted by friendly folks had most everything we needed for our last minute grocery shopping. Every day we saw humpback whales beaching right out in front of the house, we have never seen anything like that before in person. There were so many colorful fish right on the reef out front we saw while snorkeling. The chef the owner recommended put on a culinary experience none of us will forget. Best of all our four year old learned to swim in the beautiful pool.

  • We want you to know what a fabulous time we had in your family's home in August. It was a treasured week with our 2 new granddaughters and our fantastic children. We relaxed, laughed, cooked, napped, swam, snorkeled, walked on the beach and cried when we had to leave! Upon our return home our kids presented us with the most beautiful book of photos complied from everyone's camera. From the sea turtles to the sunset, your beautifully appointed home to our photogenic girls, they captured a wonderful memory. Thank you.

  • I am so happy that we found this house for our recent family vacation. I have had the opportunity to vacation in rental properties on the Big Island several times in the past but this home surpasses any of those homes in the resort communities. Hale Na Na Kohola is spectacular. It is obvious from the photos that this is a beautiful and luxurious home but what you don't know until you stay there is that it also has an immensely peaceful and comfortable feel to it. Secluded from other vacationers, this home doesn't feel like a rental, it feels like that of a friend or family member. The amenities this home offers makes vacationing easy. There is no need to worry about renting snorkel gear or kayaks, or having to drive to the beach. It is all right there for you. Several weeks later, we still reminisce about our hours of enjoyment in the pool and nightly cocktail hour at sunset in the whale watching deck. We came from all over the U.S. to vacation in this home and can't wait to do it again. We shared so many laughs, first experiences and wonderful memories that will last a long time. Thank you Ron and Ryanne for providing our family with such a special week together!
