Love, love, love this home

We had a perfect time at the House of the Singing Whales. Fabia and Gregg are amazing owners that deeply cared about making our stay enjoyable from the beginning to the very end. They have raised the bar in terms of what excellence looks like and made us feel like extended family. The view is incredibly unique due to the location and how the home is situated, allowing you to see 4 out of 5 volcanoes. The weather in this area of Kohala is more predictable, and sunny, than any other part of the Island. Coming back from a long day of exploring, staring out at that view, hopping into the pool or hot tub, with the smell of Plumeria in the air, birds singing, and listening to music on the built-in speakers on the lanai equalled bliss. The home was spotless. It is also completely stocked to meet your needs in the kitchen, bathrooms, laundry room and pool. The extra fridge in the garage allowed us to stock up at Costco so we could minimize the number of trips (grab a cooler from the garage with ice packs to store frozen items for the drive back). The pool, hot tub, and garden is tended weekly and a handyman will fix anything if necessary. The beds and beddings are comfortable, the automatic blackout blinds are a nice feature, and the bathtub is terrific. Having central air conditioning throughout allows you to escape and recover from the heat when required. If you're thinking of an extended stay on the Big Island I can't recommend this home more. We can't wait to get back!

Nice place

Like the full size gas range, fridge, and BBQ. Clothing wash and line. Roomy space in the cottage. Good location and very private. Internet is spotty. The $237 cleaning fee was a bit excessive especially since we were asked to wash laundary. 237

Great house. One of the best equipped kitchens I have ever cooked in… but I

All in all, this is a great house in a phenomenal development. The views from all Kohala Waterfront homes are world class. The house just needs a little updating. We’re using it again next year so that should tell you all you need to know.

Spectacular views

We stayed at the house for 12 days over Christmas and Nee Years. Waking up every morning to spectacular views is a great way to start the day. Everyone loved the pool. There was something for everyone and that made it easy to spend tons of time together as a family. A car is necessary in order to go places and get things but that is true for every place we have ever stayed on the big island. I would definitely recommend

Beautiful home

We recently stayed at Hale Laule’a with a group of 8 including our young adult children and our parents. The house layout worked very well for our extended family, with comfortable beds in all 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms to share. The house is tastefully decorated and very clean; we especially appreciated how well-equipped and organized everything was. Every cupboard and drawer in the kitchen is labelled, making it easy to find things, and it was well-stocked with cookware, dishes and utensils as well as basic spices and kitchen staples. It was great to have beach towels, chairs and many other useful amenities during our stay. The lanai was beautiful, with amazing sunrise and sunset views. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub, BBQ area, and firepit during our stay. It would be a great addition to the lanai to have a few big umbrellas or a gazebo to provide some shade as there is no relief from the sun for most of the day. This property is a bit of a distance from the main resort areas—Mauna Kea and Hapuna Beach are about a 20 minute drive away. Similarly, the nearest grocery stores are at least 15 minutes away so it was a bit inconvenient in that regard. However, Hale Laule’a is situated in a very peaceful and quiet area so it was a very relaxing place to unwind after a busy day at the beach or in town. We had a wonderful week at Hale Lule’a and wouldn’t hesitate to stay at this beautiful home again. Mahalo!
