About this property

Charming bungalow near world class resort beaches with ocean/sunset views.

Please inquire for one or two night rentals.
Hale Hapuna is your private oasis perfectly located to enjoy all the Big Island has to offer.

World class beaches of Hapuna and Mauna Kea await you just 5 minutes away as well as many others lining the Kohala coast.
Grab the beach guide and start exploring, the beach gear is ready to go.

Hale Hapuna is in a small residential village on the hillside overlooking the ocean in Kawaihae near the harbor. It is located between Kailua-Kona (40 minutes) and Hilo (90 minutes) and 30 minutes from KOA airport in Kona.

Just up the hill (15 minutes) are the ranching town of Waimea and the eclectic town of Hawi, surrounded by acres of green hills and pastures. Plan your day trips to explore these charming towns and be home for sunset on the deck at Hale Hapuna.

You are never far from the many activities here on the Big Island whether it's snorkeling, diving, ziplining, shopping, surfing, golfing, dining, stargazing at the top of Mauna Kea or just reading a book on the beach. It's all here waiting for you.

Clean, well-equipped and great location for exploring the northern portion of the island. Host was easy to reach and responsive. Located in a neighborhood and away from resort vibe - perfect for us. Indoor space compact but functional. Good amount of outdoor space and upper deck a nice touch. Kitchen well-equipped. Bathroom small for more than 3 adults. Third bedroom with bunk beds also small but fine for kids. Spent a month here and really enjoyed it.

Very private and relaxing. Everything you need for a vacation. The location requires some driving to get to groceries and sites but the quality and the privacy of the property is well worth a few miles. Would totally choose this over a resort any day!

This bungalow was a perfect base for my family of four (including two young kids). Spacious, clean, peaceful and quiet, and stocked with everything we needed. An easy 7-minute drive to several perfect, beautiful beaches while also very convenient to shops, grocery stores, and restaurants in Waimea. The host was very helpful and responsive. We loved staying here!
