HERE are a couple of reviews that the folks stayed, but we did not realize that they had to submit review within 14 days and they just missed the deadline, but THIS is from Jan/Feb folks. THIS HOME IS THE ULTIMATE

Terry,
We had the pleasure of staying at the Hale Hale Ai from 1/31/2020 to 02/05/2020. From the moment we entered the gates and then walked through the house, the only words heard were 'WOW" The entire home is beyond spectacular, while at the same time being so very comfortable and welcoming. The beds were so comfortable, and the view of the ocean from the master is amazing. Everything from the linens to dishes was perfect and everything we needed was there.
Our favorite time was sitting on the back deck after a long day of sightseeing and watching the ocean from the covered patio in the lounge chairs. Stunning.
The property manager was attentive and gave us many suggestions of places to go and things to see. Everything was as described and the whole experience was easy and seamless.
All of us agree that the next time we are in Hawaii, this is the house we want to rent and have already recommended it to family and friends.
Thank you so very much for an amazing stay!!!!!!!

Hi Terry,
Today was the last day for me to write a review on our stay in Hale Hale 'Ai , so I wrote one tonight. However, I just missed the deadline (apparently it was 9 pm here in CA, not midnight). So I here is the text I had written. I will try to contact VRBO to see if I can still post it.
Beautiful and spacious home, right at the ocean. Gorgeous kitchen with everything we could possibly need, new appliances, and lots of silverware and dishes. Master bedroom had an amazing enormous bed, and walk in shower with pebble floor. The other bedroom had a toilet space with sink, and a 2nd bathroom across the hall. Everything was perfectly clean and new. Lots of towels, sheets, hangers, soaps, and dish washer tablets. Big washing machine and dryer, with tablets provided. The back of the house consists of sliding glass doors that open up all the way to enjoy the sea. The back yard is open to the cliffs, so not safe for the little ones, but what an amazing sight. We saw spinner dolphins every day, and enjoyed their show. Whales came by every now and then and three nene geese payed us a visit too. Perfect spot on the East side of the island to visit the Botanical Garden and waterfalls of Hilo, to visit the Volcano National Park, and to drive to the destructive lava flows of 2018. Thank you for having is stay here, we felt so much at home."
