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!

In minutes you can also be in small local towns and immerse yourself in daily life here in Hawaii. Whatever brings you here, you are not far from it at Hale Hapuna.
