We’re Marilyn and Gary — high school sweethearts, happily married for 56 years. Marilyn is a lifelong artist, and Gary is a green building consultant. We raised our three daughters here at Hale Keo Keo and now have the joy of watching our seven granddaughters grow up with the same salty hair, sandy toes, and magical memories this bay has always offered.
For the past 28 years, this home has been our family’s sanctuary — a place of celebration, creativity, and deep rest. Built in 1910, Hale Keo Keo has weathered storms, watched sea turtles return year after year, and held the laughter of four generations. We’ve preserved it with love, care, and reverence for its history, and it brings us true joy to share it with guests who will appreciate its spirit.
While you’re here, you’ll be greeted not just by ocean breezes and swaying palms — but by our two beloved outdoor kitties, who live on the property and think of themselves as co-hosts. They're friendly, low-maintenance, and deeply loyal to the land. We simply ask that guests keep an eye on their food and water during their stay — a small act of care that helps keep the home feeling warm and alive.
We only open Hale Keo Keo for part of the year, but when we do, it’s our way of extending our family’s aloha. We hope you feel the peace and presence of this home as deeply as we do.
