Breathtaking Ocean & Jungle Views with Refreshing AC

Just breathe immediately and let us unburden you from the stress of daily life as you relax in your luxury space with family and friends,
Welcome to Hale O Ulu (house of growth)! Located central to Kailua-kona, 5 minute drive into town and the ocean! Peek-a-boo ocean views, surrounded by tropical Hawaiian flora and greenery from every window. Featuring a Daikin mini-split Air Conditioner for fast and quiet cooling (trust us, you'll be very glad to have it in Hawaii!)

Relax at the end of a day of adventuring with a glass of wine on the spacious lanai while you watch the sunset. While we have an amazing view, it does come with a flight of stairs which may not be for everyone (shown in pictures).
This space is the top floor of the house with private lanai and entry, you'll have the entire top of the house to yourself! (Hosts live downstairs with their quiet and cute whippet mix pup)

The upper house features two bedrooms, one bathroom, laundry room, and a full kitchen. The spacious and fully covered lanai is accessible from the living room and bedroom via two sets of sliding doors and is the perfect spot for relaxing or dining while enjoying the views of the ocean.

The kitchen includes full-size stove/oven with pots/pans/baking equipment and all the essentials you'll need. Also includes a large side by side fridge/freezer with ice & water dispenser. Other appliances include stainless steel microwave, toaster, and kuerig mini.

Close to Kona!
Overall, nice home to stay for two people. The kitchen was nicely furnished. Parking was easy. Very close to downtown Kona, supermarket….my only issue was the too firm mattress on the queen bed.

Beautiful & Clean
This rental is fantastic. It is upstairs from a residence but you have your own covered parking and outside stairs and entrance. It was still very private. The home is beautiful and well stocked. Contactless arrival was smooth and easy. Hosts were very friendly and easy to contact if needed. I would recommend to everyone and would definitely stay again.

Amazing! home fully equipped near main attractions
What a great place to stay! We were looking for a quiet place that could be a “base of operations” for our vacation, and this place proved to be ideal. It was close enough to everything while being away from crowded resorts. It is situated in a quiet residential neighborhood and doesn’t have loud partygoers that we were concerned we might find at a resort or a condo, but was only minutes from stores and the main tourist strip. The place was IMMACULATE! And it appeared to have been recently remodeled. Everything was essentially new and of high quality, from the furniture to the bedding as well as the fully-equipped kitchen. It was open, airy, and full of light. The owners live downstairs and are available for any problems, but the fact is, the place was so well appointed (from laundry detergent, shampoos, and conditioners to sunscreen and bug spray and a binder full of useful information about the home, places to eat and things to see) that we had no need to bother them, although we did bump into them occasionally when leaving/arriving and enjoyed chatting with them. They were careful to give us our privacy and we didn’t feel as if we were being monitored. In short, the place honestly exceeded our expectations and we will certainly stay there again when visiting the island.
