The house was wonderful and you couldn’t beat the location. This was a once in a lifetime vacation for my family and it didn’t disappoint. I only wish I had a few more days to just relax at the house. We stayed too busy doing activities!
A very lovely home. The emergency helpline people were great during the rain storm!

Thank you for sharing this! We’re so glad the home and layout were a great fit, and we appreciate your note—it helps us keep everything feeling just right. We’d love to welcome you back with Gather for an even smoother stay next time.
The house was everything they advertised. It was the best stocked kitchen I’ve ever seen. The view was spectacular and the pool/hot tub were great. The bedrooms were nice and cool and comfortable and the house was plenty big enough for the ten of us with room to spare. The beach amenities were a nice surprise - beach chairs/umbrella/plenty of snorkeling equipment/water shoes/toys. Highly recommend!

Our family had a fantastic time on the Big Island! Hale Pua is a great property. It is well stocked with everything you need for a large group. It is great to wake up everyday and enjoy the beauty of the ocean as you sit and on the patio with the ocean in your backyard. The location is near shopping and restaurants. The host was very easy to work with and very responsive. Highly recommend for a larger group. Mahalo!

Oh my gosh this was the Best vacation ever! We bought food to cook and never had to leave the property our entire stay there. We had a semi beach for the kids and adults to play in. And every thing else and then some was right there. The View and home were absolutely stunning. Thank you, our stay was worth every single penny.

Our group of three families had a great time at Hale Pua. Large, comfortable, well-stocked. The house is on a busy street but road noise was never a problem. The location is great for exploring the island. Would definitely recommend and return if we get the chance.

This is a large beautiful home with plenty of room for people to spread out and yet be close. We all enjoyed watching the surf and the relaxing sound of waves throughout our stay.Communicating with three different management groups including VRBO became confusing and tedious.

Beautiful property in a great location! Loved the pool and hot tub and the backyard had enough grass for the kids to play soccer and football. Snorkeling was great along with the fishing in the ocean behind the home. There was plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for our group of fourteen. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

The home was as advertised. We had plenty of room and beds for 5 couples. We spent many evenings eating outside and enjoying the beautiful sunset and view. The theater room was a bonus and a great place for our group to take in a movie. We had a fabulous time and Hale Put met or exceeded our expectations.

Stunning post card worthy views, great location, close to town, and wonderful, communicative hosts. Would be lucky to stay here again in the future.
There are a few things to borrow for the beach but it would be nice if an umbrella, cooler and beach chairs were available to use as you'll have to source those for yourself.

We loved our stay at Hale Pua! Beautiful, spacious and comfortable accommodations and absolutely breathtaking views! Waves crashing over the seawall, sunrises and sunsets and so much more. Close to downtown Kona, yet completely private. Our young grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the media room of course! The adults were thrilled with the setting. We had a wonderful time! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for choosing Hale Pua, and we'd be delighted to welcome you back anytime!
Being in Hawaii alone is breathtaking, but to have this house and this view just made our trip that much better. This house is even more beautiful in person!! It’s an actual dream home, I can’t recommend it enough. Or family of 16 fit perfectly and everyone was so impressed by how gorgeous it was. The management team was also so amazing and helpful every step of the way. Highly recommend to anyone taking a big group trip!!

Very nice setting, good parking, plenty of space for everyone. For a large group it worked out well. 4 families 12 people and did not feel crowded . Kitchen well appointed however rice cooker did not work. House right on ocean so beautiful views, sounds of waves crashing. Minor issue with hot tub, managers quickly resolved. Good location

Thank you for sharing your experience, Mike! It's fantastic that your group found comfort and enjoyment in the spacious setting and oceanfront views. We've noted the rice cooker issue for future improvement. Eagerly await your next visit for more beautiful moments by the sea!
It was wayyyy more than we needed for just two of us, but we had an amazing time. The views are fabulous at any time of day or night, but my favorites were the evening sunset ones. The property was immaculate and extremely well equipped with everything you would need to host a large group of friends or family. And the lanai,with outdoor dining and deck chairs, m pool and hot tub were the cherry on top. This property’s it all in a great location, was easily accessed with plenty of parking and, a huge kitchen, 2 sets of washer/dryers, loads of bedrooms and space for everyone to spread out and relax. Not to mention the full wall sliding glass doors and direct ocean frontage. I highly recommend it.

This spacious home is located right on the edge of the water providing glorious views and the sound of the sea throughout the day. The home is beautifully equipped with top of the line kitchenware, table top, bedding and furniture. The "theater" room was a bonus. Though we worried about noise from the busy road adjacent to the property, the home was very quiet and peaceful. Terrific location convenient to activities and shopping.
