About this property
Summer is On Sale! - Proximity to the ocean without the beachfront price!
PLEASE NOTE: DURING THE HOLIDAYS, FROM DECEMBER 15 TO JANUARY 1, WE REQUIRE AT LEAST A TWO-WEEK BOOKING.
"Pathway of the Gods" is the meaning of the name given by ancient Hawaiians to Kealakekua Bay. Five hundred feet from the bay, nestled among the palm trees and fragrant plumeria blossoms is the site of your next vacation. Let us "Big Isle" you!
Hale Hanai is a family-friendly two-story vacation rental home that will give you a taste of old Hawaii, away from the crowds, with a large private yard abounding in fragrant flowers, bananas, and coconuts. 'Hanai' is a word Hawaiians use to designate adopted family. While staying in our home, you are our adopted family.
Upstairs, Mom and Dad can relax and enjoy their own private living room with views of the bay. The Alii (royalty) room is furnished with a California King bamboo canopy bed, a seating area, and a lanai from which to view some of the most beautiful sunsets in the world. There is a fully equipped kitchen and a dining room with a table that seats eight, as well as a china hutch with dishes for that special meal.
Downstairs, there is a separate living room and a small dining table to enjoy a sandwich or snack. The Sandcastle Sanctuary has a queen-size bed and a built-in daybed, perfect to accommodate Grandma and Grandpa or a married child and spouse. The built-in daybed is wonderful for a younger child, and it also makes a great place to sit and enjoy a book while the ocean breezes rustle the curtains and wash your cares away. There is even a portable crib ready for a napping baby, if needed. The Volcano Room sports a double bed, and the decor has been heavily influenced by Madame Pele, the goddess of fire. The Shark Tank Den has a twin bed with aquatic decor that is very kid-friendly. Two queen-size sleeper sofas (one upstairs, one down) round out the sleeping arrangements.
Across the bay is the historic Captain Cook monument that marks the place where the famous explorer met his untimely end. Spinner Dolphins visit the bay almost daily, and there is unparalleled snorkeling in this marine sanctuary. After a day of sightseeing or kayaking in the bay, the outdoor shower will wash away the sand along with your cares. The barbecue awaits, as you dine outdoors on the two picnic tables as the sun sets on another perfect day in paradise.
Please note that we have a two-week minimum policy for bookings during the Christmas holidays, from December 15 to January 1.

About the host
Hosted by Susan Curtis
Thom is retired from being a Sociology professor at the University of Hawaii in Hilo. Susan is a writer. We got married in 2000, after having both lost our spouses. Between us we have six children and thirteen grandchildren. We love to travel and see the world, and we love to stay home and enjoy the beautiful islands of Hawaii.
Why they chose this property
We turned the former family home into a vacation rental. The family enjoyed being close to the ocean when we lived there. A transfer to the other side of the island for employment changed our residence, and this was a solution that allowed us to keep a home we all loved.
What makes this property unique
We enjoy staying at Hale Hanai whenever it isn't rented. We spend most weekends there and whatever other time we are able. It makes a wonderful writing retreat and a great place for us to invite friends and family from the mainland. We love the historic bay with the snorkeling and the dolphins. We love the quiet feel of old Hawaii. We enjoy sharing the home with travelers for a memorable visit to Hawaii's best kept secret - the Big Island.
