This home feels so spacious because of a vaulted ceiling with exposed wood beams. The furnishings are such that you'd be fine just hanging around the house for a day's break in between excursions. For families that need or like to cook the kitchen area is fully appointed with what you need to dish up a delicious meal; we were given fresh caught Ahi by locals at the Milolii Beach Park and made a nice meal right in the kitchen. You can then have your meals just a step outside the kitchen on the deck and enjoy the sea while eating. Mrs. Jensen was very helpful. It was so important to us to stay at a place with good reviews. This place did not disappoint!!

BEST....VIEW....EVER

Stayed there August 10th-12th and the house was absolutely amazing. The view off the porch of the sun setting on the ocean was one of the most beautiful sites I have seen. The rental was immaculate, spacious, and in a very quiet town. Best part is the grocery store is not as far as it seems, we were able to stop in Captain Cook about a half hour away and stop at a grocery store there that more than met our needs. Owners were really, really nice and made sure we had everything to enjoy our stay. WHEN my wife and I make it back to Hawaii we plan on going during the winter and staying here because there is no question you will see whales off the porch in this house. Super awesome views of the ocean. Can't say enough about this place, located about an hour from Volcano National Park. Definitely worth the drive to stay here. Loved sitting on the porch at night looking at stars and listening to the ocean.

These couple from England were celebrating their honeymoon at Hale Romantik'. They left us this note on August 7th. "Hi, Thanks for everything, we had a great time staying in your lovely house. It is like a home from home and really comfortable. It was very kind of you to let us stay later because of our flight time. We hope everything is O.K., as we have tried to leave the house as we found it. Kind regards, Yvonne & Ian Williams.

It's the perfect "get away". To get there you take a mango/coffee tree lined hwy and then descend adventurously to oceanfront Milolii. A community with stunning views of the ocean and volcanic geography. The house has a beautiful deck where you can enjoy the ocean. From the inside, you can see/hear the ocean from every window. The house has everything you need - it was home! It is meticously maintained and has gear for outdoor fun. The owners are gracious hosts providing help with items in the house and about the area in general. We had a fabulous time and will be back soon! Thank you for this fantastic place - we've made memories that our family will remember forever.

Hale Romantik is a true gem of a place. We thoroughly enjoyed ouselves there and must say that of all the places we stayed at while on the Big Island, this was the most awe inspiring and best equipped house of all. Just remember to bring a couple of rolls of quarters to use the washer/dryer. You don't want to be driving up the hill just for that! Beautiful place, great hosts. We will be back, no doubt about it. Thanks Ole and Elaine.

Hale Romantik is the perfect spot to relax in peace and quiet and watch and listen to whales. The house is almost new, fully equipped and great for one or two couples.

This house was perfect for a getaway with my wife and parents. With two master sweets we each had our own area. I was very surprised by how much space you have from your neighbors. We saw Whales and dolphins from the lanai. It was wonderful.

Thank you to the Jensen's for a wonderful vacation getaway! My family and I make it a point to visit the Big Island every year, and this was by far the nicest vacation rental we've experienced. We hope to return sooner than later!

We stayed at the lovely Hale Romantik for part of our 20th Anniversary vacation. The home was delightful and I only wish we had spent more time there and less on another island. It is away from the typical tourist traps and quite peaceful. When we go back...it will be for at least a week!

Liebe Jensens,vielen Dank für die herrlichen zwei Wochen Urlaub in Eurem Haus am Meer. Ein schöneres Urlaubsdomizil können wir uns nicht vorstellen. Die Lage direkt am Meer ist paradiesisch und das Haus war wunderbar praktisch und bequem eingerichtet. Auch Eure persönlichen Tips wegen der Badestrände, Schnorcheln und vieles mehr waren unschätzbar. Meine Frau und die drei Jungen waren begeistert, wir werden die schönen Abende auf der riesigen Terasse vor dem Meer nicht vergessen. Nochmals vielen Dank und - hoffentlich - auf Wiedersehen.Uwe, Christine, Anselm, Johannes und Peter Brocks aus Hamburg in Deutschland

This comment was found in this vacation rental home addressed to the owners, Ole and Elaine Jensen. We talked numerous times with the Raghaven's over the telephone. Our schedule did not allow us to meet with them personally. We would have liked to see them in person! Dear Jensens: Thank You for renting your home to us. We enjoyed our stay very much. We were at home in your kitchen, spent many relaxing hours and meals on your lanai. The sound of the waves and whales were theraputic! Thank You for your tips and for keeping your home so well equipped. Thanks for the magazines, they helped plan our exciting snorkeling and surfing adventures. Yours Sincerely, Raghavans'

This comment was found in this vacation rental home, addressed to the owners, Ole and Elaine Jensen. It was a pleasure to also meet Vicki and Bruce. Hi Ole & Elaine: As much as we have to leave Hale Romantik', duty calls us back to the mainland. Thank You for you hospitality and all the little things that made us feel taken cared-of. (Oranges on the lanai table, bottled water, directions to use the TV). We really enjoyed ourselves. Thanks again for sharing your wonderful beach home with us. Bruce & Vicki
