Beautifully Private and Tranquil
We loved our stay in this home! The property and view is spectacular, we loved the chicken who visited us every morning and our many gecko roommates! We spent every morning outside enjoying the sunrise with our coffee and frequently woke up in the middle of the night to check out the amazing view of the stars! The property was stocked with everything you could want and then some; we were very impressed with everything in the kitchen! The location is a bit out of the way, so everything is at 20 minutes away, but we were always happy to come home in the evening after a day of being out and about to relax on the deck and enjoy the view. I think my only critique would be that while the a/c in the bedroom is effective, it's loud. Surprisingly it didn't keep us up, but we also couldn't hear all the birds and frogs while it was on, which was a bummer, but we appreciated the cool air! Overall we really loved our stay here and will miss it on our departure.
A truly wonderful stay !

We very much enjoyed our stay - the house was in excellent condition, clean and well stocked with all and everything one would need to have a restful vacation. The peace + quiet and the fantastic view from the back porch was exactly what we needed - a big thank you to Jeana and her team.
I am so happy to hear that you had a wonderful stay! We greatly appreciate your review as well.

Location and View are the primary features of Hale Hamakua. We all enjoyed waking up to the sunrise and having that early morning cup of coffee or tea on the lanai. Hilo was an easy 20 minute ride away. I think the house could use a maintenance update. Several screen sliders need to be repaired or replaced. Some windows lacked screens and could not be opened. The covers to old A/C units are rusty and unsightly and should be removed. Some furniture could be updated. Kitchen seemed reasonably equipped. Representative from the property management company was accessible before we arrived in Hawaii and during our stay. This property has a lot of potential because of the view and I would stay there again if the condition of the property, but the condition of the property could be improved. I would recommend to a friend, based on the same criteria.
We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay! The home recently changed owners and the new owners are coming back this summer to start improvements on the home. Thank you feedback!
Our Hale Hamakua house experience
Difficult to find the road to the house, not well marked. Extremely difficult to identify the turn to the home at night or in inclement weather.Upon entering there was a musty smell. Turned on the ceiling fans to circulate the air. Only 2 were capable of multiple speeds the rest were stuck on low speed. Opened the first patio door and the screen door fell out. This happened with each patio door. Not all of the windows had screens and some were not able to open due to needed repairs orr replacement. Found excrement on the floors from geckos presumably. Found hair on all of the dish towels in the kitchen. Also found hair on bath towels. When reaching into the closet to grab a towel in the master bath. My hand hit something. It was an outlet just hanging out. The master bath shower leaked water all over the floor, almost fell when getting out. The internet coverage cannot handle streaming and cell phone coverage is poor at best. While everything in the house worked. The house overall in my opinion needed lots of TLC. I would not recommend this location to anyone who enjoys their technology or for a family. It is better suited for adults who wish to unplug. Be aware you may have to haul away your own rubbish at the end of your stay. Also keep in mind this house is 20 miles from Hilo and about 26 miles from the Hilo Airport.

Aloha and thank you for your feedback. We do provide detailed driving directions to the home, and there is a sign at the driveway that lets you know you’ve made it. This is the windward/wet side of the Big Island, so we leave ceiling fans on low at all times to combat any must, and treat the home with a tea tree solution quarterly. We were unaware that the screens were an issue, however, the new owners came in right behind you and did a ton of work to the home, bought new furniture for the den, upgraded the internet and there are plans to renovate the kitchen and master bathroom later this year. And yes, the geckos do get inside homes here and gecko poo is something we deal with and are constantly cleaning. We’ll be posting updated photos/amenities of this home later this year. But we’re very excited to work with the new owners who have a beautiful vision for this home.
Homey spot with an incredible view

What a beautiful location to make our homebase during our time on the Big Island. We saw whales spouting from the deck as we drank our morning coffee, and spent hours at night gazing at the stars. Inside, the bedrooms were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with supplies. Our only tiny critique is that the living room could have use a refreshsuch as a coffee table, and New chairs to replace the broken recliners. But we were so appreciative of the fresh flowers on the dining room table, and the cooler and bath towels in the closet, which were a welcome surprise and incredibly helpful for many of our daytrips.
I am so happy to hear that you had a wonderful stay, and enjoyed the whale watching! We are planning on sprucing up that room with new furnishings when the new owners arrive in February. We greatly appreciate your review as well.
