Enjoy a wonderful, Hawaiian vacation at our "House of Sea Spray" (Hale Huna Kai) on the beautiful East Coast of Hawaii. Our three-bedroom vacation home comfortably accommodates parties of up to ten people in a modern, cheerful, quiet, and relaxed setting. Convenient to Hilo Town, Kilauea (the world's most active volcano), the rain forest, world-class snorkeling, incredible hiking, and waterfalls, "Hale Huna Kai" can make your dream vacation come true!
Hale Huna Kai is in the Puna district of the Big Island of Hawaii. Puna is located south of Hilo on the East Coast of the Island. The area is known for many things but one that stands out is Kalapana and Kaimu Bay where in late 1990, the on-going eruption of Kilauea's Kupaianaha vent covered the famous Black Sand Beach at Kaimu Bay.
The house is a 30-minute drive from Hilo Airport. It is situated at the edge of Kaloli Bay less than one-half mile from Kaloli Point. The surroundings are lush, verdant, and tropical. Palms, orchids, and plumeria plants abide. Flowering bougainvillea, poinsettia and hibiscus color the area. On most mornings you can look out the front door, over the driveway and see Mauna Kea ("White Mountain"), a dormant volcano. Step out in the yard and pick fresh bananas for breakfast, and seasonally white pineapples are abundant.
Whales are abundant in the late fall through April and can be seen and heard from the bedrooms. The house has been adopted by a cat which the neighbors take care of while the owners are travelling. Guests are welcome to allow (or not allow) her household access.
Wireless Internet and free local and US long distance calls included!
