A Spectacular Property!

This is an incredible property. It is perfect for two couples. The two bedrooms are on the opposite side of the house allowing for privacy and comfort. We appreciated the kitchen, it is well stocked. We barbecued/cooked a few meals and found everything we needed. All appliances were in good working order except for the TVs. They had been fried by an electrical surge caused by a nearby accident. Not a big issue for us, we don’t usually watch much TV. But one of our friends was recovering from a surgery and needed some down time. He had some problems with the bedroom TV. I’m sure the owners will address the issue soon. We spent the majority of our time on the covered deck in the rocking chairs. We watched the waves and surfers. We could also see lots of fish in the waves. That was incredibly relaxing. The sunsets were spectacular. The pride of ownership shows in everything in this house. I felt lucky that the owners would share this beautiful property. We will definitely be back and hope this property is available!!!

Perfect getaway for solo trip!

Perfect for solo travelers that don't want to deal with a whole mess of people in a hotel. Loved waking up to the sound of crashing waves and planning my day on the lanai with a cup of coffee. Snorkel and surf is just a few steps away at Kahului Bay. I was greeted by the property manager Adriana who made sure I found my around the house. Looking forward to coming back!!

Magic on the Ocean!

The view at Hale Lula o’ Nai’a is absolutely breathtaking! We were mesmerized by the sunsets, surfers, and whales. If you stay here, don’t bother with a whale watching trip; we saw exactly zero whales on our boat trip, but spotted lots of them from the lanai—along with dolphins and fish. We loved hanging out in the rocking chairs to drink our morning coffee, or to gaze at the gorgeous sunsets. The configuration of the house, with a bedroom and bath at either end, offers lots of privacy for guests. The living area is comfortable, and the kitchen is well stocked for cooking. We enjoyed grilling on the gas barbecue. Beach gear is also provided: towels, chairs, umbrella. The owners/managers have thought of everything! The location of the home is convenient as well. You’re close to everything you need, but far enough away from downtown Kona to avoid the most crowded areas. There is a grocery store, drug store, and restaurants less than two miles away. The only downside is that traffic can be loud at busy times, but the location and view make it worth ignoring. If you’re sensitive to noise / a light sleeper, bring some ear plugs and you’ll be fine. The property managers are welcoming, friendly, and responsive! Naomi graciously accommodated us when our flight was changed. And Gabrielle was a helpful resource for local markets, restaurants, and an excellent bakery. In short, we would stay here again in a heartbeat! It’s a beautiful house and the view is magical!!
