Hale Vu is a luxurious multi-level gated home with unimpeded panoramic ocean view from every floor. The 3rd floor balcony and top 2 floor lanais have glass panels, so nothing blocks your view while lounging on the deck or relaxing on the balcony. The roof-top crow’s nest is perfect for sunbathing or watching whales migrate right off-shore. Below the house are lava tide pools teaming with sea life, where you can spot green turtles most of the time from 2nd and 3rd floor lanais, right outside living room's floor-to-ceiling windows or from 4th floor roof-top. Both lots on either side of the house are vacant, providing complete privacy. Nighttime star watching is an entirely new experience as there is little ambient light in the immediate area.
3 beautifully appointed bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, with oceanfront master suite offers breathtaking ocean views and lanai access. Waking up to spectacular sunrises, sound of crashing waves and the ocean breeze, is heavenly. In the master bedroom is a king size, iComfort® split adjustable bed with massage settings. The second bedroom also has a king size bed, and the third bedroom has two twin beds.
The kitchen is well stocked with appliances and utensils for comfortable family meals when you are not out exploring the island. A full laundry room provides large washing machine and dryer for your conveniences. Free WIFI access. Two-car parking in garage inside gate.
Our caretaker for the home is diligent in making your stay at Hale Vu an unforgettable experience. Thom also lives nearby and has in-depth tips and recommendations to local activities, dining and area guides.

House is located right next to a popular lookout point. People would either drive up or walk to the edge and sometimes stay for hours. Never was a bother to us. Nice neighborhood, easy to find.

Secluded beautiful oceanfront home

We really enjoyed staying at this oceanfront home. We were greeted by Thom on the first day and he was very helpful not only with giving us a tour of the home, but giving us insight into the local things to do and places to eat. The view from the home was incredible. Only home in that area along the ocean where we were able to watch sea turtles down below from the open deck on the top floor. I highly recommend this home if you’re looking for a great view, beautiful home and seclusion.

No place like it!

If you just love to watch the waves for hours on end, you can stop looking and pick this house! We particularly loved the comfortable living room furniture which made it perfect to watch the waves crash on the rocks, and look for turtles! Very serene.

Great Oceanfront View!

Our family of 6 stayed here for a week and had a great time! My husband and kids had a great time in the rocks below. It's within 30 minutes of Safeway, Walmart and Target as well as fairly close to Volcano National Park. We would definitely stay here again. Thom was a great host with lots of information.

Wonderful home on the edge of the ocean

This would be our 3rd or 4th time that we have stayed at this home. We enjoy it very much just setting and looking at the ocean, doesn’t matter if ‘s rain or sunshine. The house is nice and has all the comforts of home. The home is in an quiet neighborhood amongst the locals.

We enjoyed the top deck a lot and loved to stay there to watch the crashing waves and night stars. We did have some issues with the house but got a quick positive response from Thom and Ms. Vu. Otherwise communication and check-in or out is great!

Blissful!!!

We spent 10 glorious days at Hale Vu, and loved every minute. The view is indescribable really! Imagine watching beautiful waves, crashing onto the rocks below, through floor to ceiling windows - INCREDIBLE! The kitchen is well-appointed for cooking meals in - which we did most of the time. Comfy bed, and good water pressure in shower.
