Elegant 1937 hjemmeskridt væk fra sorte sandstrande

Hale Keaukaha er et majestætisk og elegant hjem fra 1937, perfekt beliggende overfor Hilos Richardsons Strandpark, en vidunderlig lille sort sandstrand ideel til snorkling, surfing, svømning, kajaksejlads og solbadning. Minutter fra Hilo centrum og lufthavnen er placeringen praktisk og malerisk. Dit ophold på Hale Keaukaha vil være en autentisk og luksuriøs Hawaii-oplevelse.

Perfekt til par.

Om Hale Keaukaha

Et one-of-a-kind kamaaina hjem i Hilo. Stylet til Hawaii med et tagdesign af hawaiiansk arkitektur kaldet et Dickey-tag, der har en polynesisk stil inspireret af Kamehameha Vs strandhus i Waikiki. Trægulve i hovedhuset er lavet af ohia, unikt for Hawaii.

I kvarteret kaldet Keaukaha, om hvilke sange der er skrevet og hula udføres. Kystlinjen er en række strandparker, nogle med sort sand og mange med vandadgang. Dette er en lokal legeplads. Vandet nær kysten er klart med fremragende snorkling. Havskildpadder kommer ind for at hvile på klipperne på tværs af gaden fra huset.

Det forreste soveværelse ser ned ad indkørslen ved havet, ligesom bruser i det tilknyttede badekar gør. Det luksuriøse dronning soveværelse er rummeligt med fint sengetøj, badekåber og en loftventilator.

Det store soveværelse er ret stort. På bagsiden af huset med udsigt til lavabergpladsen i baghaven. Den elegante kingsize-seng har fint sengetøj, og værelset har en loftventilator og et skab. Det tilknyttede bad er blevet opbevaret i den charmerende 1930-tallsstil med opdaterede inventar og faciliteter.

(Bemærk, at dette ikke er egnet til børn.) Køkkenskabe er koa-træ, et værdsat Hawaii-træ. Loftet soveværelset er panelet i lauhala, en lokal væv fra hala træet. Ohanaen har et køkken med god espressomaskine, mikroovn, brødristerovn, blender. Ohana-stuen vender ud mod den grønne baghave og træbregner og har en privat indgang. Den komfortable queensize-seng er i det rummelige loft med et ovenlys.

Soveværelset sengetøj er ofte organiske eller italienske poplin lagner.

Køkkenet er fuldt udstyret med espresso / kaffemaskine, ris komfur, mikroovn, brødrister ovn, vaffel maker, blender, gode knive, vinglas og alt køkkenredskaber.

Husets vand er alt filtreret, hvor køkkenet har et ekstra filter.

Weber grill er uden for køkkenet.

The property was everything we could have wanted. Great comfortable indoor spaces with ability to have open doors and windows to let outside in. We also enjoyed sitting outside. Conviently located across the street from beach including Richardson’s Ocean Park with its black sand beach and turtles. Easy drive into Hilo for dining. Althea and Lauren were great hosts, making sure we had everything we needed and meeting us for check in. Would definitely stay in this home again if we make it back to Hilo.

Great family holiday

We loved our stay at the house, especially because of the location. The snorkeling off the black sand beach is great. And we loved seeing the sea turtles. This is my second time at the house (3.5 years after the first). Our overall impression of the house is that it’s charming, but needs updating.

Richardsons Ocean Park treasure

This is a lovely, comfortable and well appointed home in a great location. The VRBO listing notes it is a 3 bedroom unit but one bedroom was closed while we were there. For us that was fine but if you are a larger group make sure to clarify that.

We loved being able to walk down the driveway to snorkel and whale watch. The house is lovely and private and quiet at night - except for a few dogs that seemed to want to bark for a short period @ 3:00am We were impressed with all the little extras found in the house: sewing kit, small office incidentals, soaps and shampoos and fix it items - very well appointed! We had a very comfortable stay.

Lovely Place with Great Location

My kids and I stayed here for 3 nights as a home base for exploring the island of Hawaii. It really was an adorable and unique place. My kids enjoyed how authentic and comfortable it was. We didn’t spend a ton of time at the house but the location was right across the street from the park and beach. We were a couple miles drive from our favorite diner (Ken’s), and we were an hour drive from Volcanoes National Park. I would stay here again if we return.

Quintessential Hawaii living exprierince - Totally worth the money!

After staying in 5 star resorts all week, we wanted to have a low-key adventure in a less “touristy” area of Hawaii and this charming home delivered. A well-appointed, historic home. Not perfect however, perfectly charming! What it lacked in terms of “luxury”, it made up for in location & authenticity. We were all very comfortable in this elegant home. The magical gardens (front & back) were the perfect spot for afternoon cocktails (post swim) & bocce. We had a difficult time tearing ourselves away from the beach across the street to explore the area. We have already booked our next visit!

One Of A Kind

This is a very traditional circa 1930s traditional Hawaiian house. It is surrounded by dense tropical foliage and moss covered rock work. At night a chorus of frogs sing you to sleep (or sometimes keep you awake because they are very loud). If you are looking for spacious rooms with high ceilings and genuine wood floors, this house might be for you. This free-standing home is located right across the road from a lovely ocean park that locals enjoy for snorkeling and swimming. We were comfortable, but if you are inclined towards modern, sleek lines and state of the art appliances, this is not your place. Like most older homes, especially ones located in a very rainy climate, it has some quirks like a front door lock that is difficult to operate and a kitchen that needs more work, including an updated dishwasher. But the place is big on charm. You'll leave knowing you had a memorable Hawaiian experience in an authentic traditional home totally unlike the typical hotel or condo.

Great Place with some knowledge

Lets start with the house. This is an older house and was built in a different time when people lived with and in the world so the house has tall ceilings, well designed windows and personality for days. The house was immaculately clean and well maintained. It is next to the ocean so there was some rust on some of the fittings but that is unavoidable and nothing you could possibly fault. The location is fantastic right across from a park and the beach with easy access. The owner's warning of finding the driveway spooked me a bit but I found it easy to find (thank you Apple Maps voice). The grounds themselves are fascinating as well. Now, the warning. It says it in the posting but be aware. This place does not have air conditioning so you may have to open the windows to cool things down. Hawaii has coqui frogs which I had never heard of but are astoundingly loud until they get tired. The owner's instructions do warn of this and there are earplugs in case you didn't bring your own. We travel a lot so we had earplugs and our own soundmachine but I am a light sleeper and by midnight I had begun to fantasize about the complete eradication of all frogs on the earth. If you are a light and early sleeper, make sure you are there at a time you won't need to leave the windows open. I know it is first world whining but a portable or window AC unit in the bedrooms would make this problem (and some others) go away completely. Ok, that was the bad. The other good. We were met with a personal orientation which wasn't really complicated enough to need one. There were written instructions there that had all the info we needed. During the stay we communicated with the Owner, who checked in to make sure all was ok, and she was incredibly responsive and supportive. Literally could not ask for more. If I found myself in Hilo again in a cooler time (or when Hawaii figures out something to do about the coqui apocalypse), I would definitely rent here again.

Not worth the money

The house is very pretty and in a good location. It's very spacious. The property managers were very nice and responsive. I’m completely baffled by all of the 5 star reviews for this house. All in, we paid about double the other houses we stayed in on the island per night for 2 nights for our family of four. Even with the location, this was way too much money. We had to meet the property manager in person and were asked for a meeting time a week before our check-in date. As we were traveling from a different part of the island, this was a little off-putting to have to be at the house at a certain time. Why not just have a lockbox like every other house we’ve stayed at? When we got to the house, luckily the manager met us early as we were both coincidentally there an hour early just waiting on the other party. The first thing we were told is to be careful locking/unlocking the front door (an old sliding glass door that many houses have on the back patio). If it broke, we’d potentially be locked out for hours waiting on it to be fixed. The door is old, rusting, and rotting, so I felt anxious every time we opened or closed it. The house was very musty especially in the primary bedroom. Even with the comfortable bed and sheets, I felt dirty laying there breathing in the moldy air. The connected bathroom needs a serious update. The grout in the shower is discolored and the grout is missing in many spots. It felt gross to take a shower in that bathroom. All of the bathrooms don’t have shades on the windows. No, they aren’t facing busy streets, but as someone who has never stayed there before and doesn’t know the neighbors, it’s extremely uncomfortable. Multiple towels we used had rust stains on them as well. And no locks on the bathroom doors. When leaving the house, we were asked to strip the sheets and start a load of laundry. Again, with the price, this was a little annoying. When we stripped the sheets though, we saw the old yellow/brown mattress pads which again felt very gross after sleeping on them for a couple of days. The house is in serious need of many updates. It is pretty rundown. It could be a beautiful house and worth the money we paid, but it needs a LOT of work.

Beautiful but unclean house

The house is beautiful, comfortably furnished, and located across the street from several fantastic beaches. Here were the problems we encountered: 1. The house was not clean. a) It looked like the master bathroom had not been cleaned at all (toilet, bathtub, floors, walls, mini blinds). We notified the property manager who promptly returned the next day, but she dropped-off a vacuum cleaner, rags and cleaning supplies for us. She did not clean anything we could identify. My wife spent two hours cleaning the floors and master bathroom while my aunt spent an hour cleaning the kitchen and her bathroom before they were acceptable. b) We understand geckos poop, but almost every chair, bedspread, pillow, couch and rug in the house had at least one gecko poop stain. c) The house had been nicely repainted inside in the last year or two, but there was white paint dripped on the floors, fixtures and counter tops throughout the house. 2. Because of its location near Hilo airport, I asked the manager in advance if the airplane noise was bad. She said, “Because of the flight patterns, we rarely hear the planes. Wind shifts make the difference and sometimes they go overhead, probably once every few days.” While generally correct, we heard loud planes several times a day. 3. The house includes two large tanks of gas with instructions to switch to the backup tank if one runs out. Both tanks ran out within three days. The owner was very responsive and replaced them the next morning, but we went without showers (after a long 7-mile hike) one evening. Fortunately, dinner had just finished cooking when the gas ran out. Someone should have noticed both tanks were nearly empty. [The owners kindly bought us a bottle of wine for the trouble.] 4. Three of the smoke alarms in the house are missing or disconnected. I believe this is illegal — especially for a rental house. 5. We were asked to bring the garbage cans to the curb. We barely generated one bag of trash during our 5-day stay, but the three garbage cans were already full! Sadly, the recycling can was full of regular trash (not recycling.) Many of these issues would be understandable in a $200-300 per night rental. We understand this is the middle of a pandemic, but at $600 per night (incl. fees), this house should be as clean as a hotel room. The manager is clearly milking this beautiful property for maximum income with minimum work.
