Hana Oceanfront, Best Location, Steps to Hamoa Beach, Hot Tub

11/30/2011

VRBO Bear stayed here:

---

After a gorgeous drive up Hana Highway, I was amazed by the beauty and the location of the Hamoa Beach House. The driveway is fenced by lava rock and the lush gardens welcomed us to this stunning oceanfront home. Upon entering the house, we were welcomed by an ocean view, floor to ceiling windows and authentic Hawaiian koa wood paneling. They do call it Heavenly Hana for a reason.

Our group of 6 (4 adults and 2 children) had our choice of large, private bedrooms and were quickly drawn to the great living and dining area where we were able to eat our meals (inside or out!) and enjoy the ocean during every moment.

I am bearish about cleanliness and I was particularly impressed with the immaculate upkeep of this large home. Being directly next to the beach, one would expect a few grains of sand on the glossy wood floors. There was no sand to be found.

If you’re not aware that Hamoa Beach is the most beautiful beach in the world, you should be. The beach is secluded; it’s a perfect expanse of soft sand and incredible Blue Hawaiian waves. This beach is just a 3 minute walk from the house. We didn’t even need to cross the road!

Throughout our stay, we enjoyed the great kitchen, hammock, hot tub and super comfortable beds. Take that Goldilocks! We had plenty of room, were close to Hana and hiked in the gorgeous Haleakala National Park. We just can’t ‘bear’ to leave. I’ll take wonderful memories with me into hibernation this winter.

Thank you Hamoa Beach House!

  This oceanfront home right next to Hamoa beach is your Hana dream vacation! We loved everything about it including the views, location, hot tub, comforts, outdoor shower and more. Lots of Fun for the kids too! You won't regret it. Just needs a gas grill to complete the picture. Aloha!

  Owner response: It is true...you just can't beat the location, size, layout and proximity to Hamoa Beach! Gas grills don't do well in the salty environment and quickly rust, so we'll have to live with the charcoal grill for now! The hot tub is challenging enough:)

  One of my favorite vacations, the home was perfect for our large family vacation. Plenty of room and the the location can't be beat. We were concerned because this was our first vaction to Maui and most people thought we were nuts staying in an isolated place like Hana. It was perfect, falling aleep to the sound of the ocean and waking up to the sunsrise over the ocean every morning. Lazing in the hammock or spa. just a short walk to Hamoa Beach. We are planning to come back same time next year.

  We recently stayed in this house for a week and absolutely loved it! We actually got married on Hamoa beach and the proximity to the beach is unbeatable. I would recommend and stay here again. The house was actually much more spacious in person and the hot tub was a great perk.

  My husband and I first rented the Hamoa Beach House in 1995 where we stayed after our wedding at Lehoula Beach. We have been coming back ever since, every couple of years, with friends. Over the years, the house and grounds have gotten better and better. I am so impressed with the attention to cleanliness and detail. Having lived in Hana back in the 70s and 80's I know how hard that is. And the kitchen just keeps improving- it had all the appliances, dishes, glassware, pans, etc. we needed to prepare a full Thanksgiving feast. The best part for me is going to sleep to the sound of the waves - we call it the "Hana Womb Effect." It is the perfect place to get away with good friends for a truly relaxing vacation.

  We rented this house with friends and found it to be perfect. Lots of seating, towels, kitchen space (with almost every utensil we could desire), washer/dryer, and room in the hot tub! Lovely setting, close to town (but not too close) with easy access to nice beaches, private swimming holes, and beautiful views. Big lawns, lots of privacy - it was exactly what we wanted.

  This home is very well appointed and will meet all your needs. However, the best part is the location. Just past the lawn is the ocean (note: not a beach). There are swings where you can just sit and watch the waves. Then hop in the hot tub and watch the ocean or view the night sky from there. Hamoa beach is just a short walk from the house. We felt so rejuvenated after our short stay in this home.

  This place was great. Photos do not do it justice. The location could not have been better and exceeded expectations. 2 miles from Hana and several hundred yards from the beautiful Hamoa beach and a few tenths of a mile to Koki beach in the other direction. House was large and the hot tub and hammock in the backyard steps from ocean were great. My family (3 kids ages 8-15) had a great 4 days in Hana. We slept each night with the windows open so we could hear the ocean. This place was great and I recommend it to anyone considering Hana area. Susan Pu was very easy to deal with and made the reservation and confirmation process easy. If I had to make changes, I would offer only the following comments: (1) Beach chairs and bodyboards (We brought our own boards) available for guests would be nice; (2) Kitchen could use a bit of an update but was more than functional; (3) Wifi did not work but I viewed that as a positive to be honest!! Mahalo!!

  Staying at the Hamoa Beach house gives you a feeling of experiencing the real Maui. The house is right on the water, in a neighborhood, a short walk to the extraordinary Hamoa Beach. We loved the hot tub (and the view from the hot tub), reading on the hammock stretched between two coconut trees (and the view from the hammock), and eating our BBQ dinner on the deck ( and the, well, you know...). We also enjoyed the people of the area, the access to the beauty of that side of the island in the mornings and afternoons when no one else but locals were around, and Hawaiian feel of the house itself. Big rooms, big windows, beautiful floors, a new, comfortable bed in the master...

  My family and I vacationed at the Hamoa Beach house from May 31 until June 3 of 2011. We stayed for 3 nights and were absolutely sad when we left. The home and setting were breathtaking. The rooms and beds were spacious comfortable and clean. They also had outstanding views. Although the home could possibly accomodate twelve comfortably there were only five of us.We were truly spoiled with the amount of privacy and room we enjoyed.Being that there arent alot of restaurants in the area and the fact that I love to cook we made use of the grills and a well stocked kitchen. The setting was absolute paradise!The coconut trees and other landscaping , the hammock, and my personal favorite... the tree swings placed at the edge of the ocean made for a lawn perfect for relaxing, fun, and photography.When I booked the stay in Hana I was concerned that there might not be enough commercialism and action for my 26 year old daughter and my adventurous 18 year old nephew. Not to worry...my daughter and sister enjoyed the relaxing enviroment and the beach located within a quick walk. While my husband, nephew and I (who all love adventure) needed more time to do all the wonderful things found to do within the area. We did the Oheo Gulch pools, swam in the caves at the park, went to the Red Sand Beach. In short, we are travelers and love to experience different destinations . Even if we enjoy a particular place we would seldom return there. I truly hope that it isnt long before we are able to return to the Hamoa Beach House and Hana.Weve traveled to Italy, Switzerland, Germany, the carribean, Oahu Kauii(which I also love) and much of the US but this was handsdown the best family vacation weve ever had.

  Owner response: Can't tell you how much I enjoyed reading this review! Our guest has captured not only the essence of the home but more so the awe-inspiring natural beauty of the area that is so moving. Hana truly is a special place and there is no better place to experience "Hana" than Hamoa Beach House! Thank you for staying with us ~ On behalf of the Morris ohana

  We loved Hamoa Beach House! We stayed here in June with two families and we all agreed that Hana and Hamoa Beach House was the favorite part of the vacation. The ocean views from the property are incredible. The hammock and hot tub (also with ocean views were great.) The best part is that you have your own slice of heaven all to yourself. All you hear is the sound of the ocean crashing against the rocks. Beautiful Hamoa Beach (the beach next door) is perfect for kids and boogie boarding. Sunrises were beautiful from the house or at Hamoa Beach. Koki Beach is less than a half a mile away also. The house is spacious and has everything you need including panoramic ocean views from both up and downstairs. We did not want to leave and I am already dreaming of coming back to Hana and Hamoa Beach House...

  Owner response: Mahalo for taking the time to review our home. We are happy to be able to share this magical place with fellow travelers. Each time I drive to Hamoa Beach House I am still struck by the beauty of Alau Island across Koki Beach. After 30+ years in Hana, it never gets old. The location of Hamoa Beach House itself is incredible, add to that a spacious, comfortable oceanfront home and you've got a recipe for a great vacation! Recent interior improvements such as refinishing floors, replacing beds, new master bedroom furniture and rugs, adds even more to the comfort and feel of the place. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! Aloha, On behalf of the Morris ohana
