Oceanview Charmer near Hapuna Beach on Big Island, Massage Chair!
This house, called Hale ‘Uhane, (House of the Higher Self), is located in beautiful Kawaihae Village, near Hapuna Beach. The 3-bedroom hale boasts a very short drive to a variety of world famous and award-winning beaches. Along with the best beaches in Hawaii, there are plenty of activities for the adventurer, or therapeutic relaxation for those seekng serenity. Our wonderful massage chair is just what you need after a long flight or hike. The house was remodeled down to the studs, so everything is new, from flooring to drywall to a modern kitchen, with quartz surfaces and new appliances. For your comfort, Hale ‘Uhane has a split duct air conditioning system, so that each room can be comfort-controlled to just the right temperature. Newcomers to Hawaii, (Malihini) or visitors will easily locate this “gem" of a property because it welcomes as the first house as one drives into Kawaihae Village. (Tucked behind: fenced-in plants, including coconut and fruit trees, Village landscaping such as fragrant plumeria trees, decks, and a pergola.) Panoramic views include Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa volcanoes as well as the ocean, all the way down the coastline. The pergola on the patio is also easily recognizable and a favorite of guests. It is covered and features solar lights and tiki torches at night, and seating ideal for "pupus" (appetizers) drinks, and conversation. Beyond the pergola is another deck/patio,(uncovered), equipped with seating and chaises, and is good for tanning. The inside of the house is open, with the kitchen and family room/lanai being the main feature, along with the professional quality interior design elements, such as a separate bistro section, a bar, and the efficient use of space. The family trademark has always been an immaculate home, with modern and comfortable mattresses and a well-appointed kitchen, including an outside grill (this house has a Weber Spirit II, and propane is provided.) There is also a 55” TV with smart options (Netflix, prime video, etc...) provided the guest uses their own account, and high speed Internet. This home is well-suited to longer “snowbird” visits in the winter, for a couple, or a family vacation. There is an outside shower, which is handy for the multiple beach trips you can make. The posh hotels (and their public beaches) are close by, so you can enjoy a drink or a meal and sunset there, with all the money you save having your own kitchen, washer and dryer, and free parking. You are as welcome as family here, and please feel free to message through VRBO with any questions! Aloha nui loa.

We are so happy that you discovered our spot, close to beaches and fun things to do. Hale ‘Uhane sits in a sacred and special spot, where you can see most of the “five mountains” (volcanoes) from the yard! Your lovely family fit right in here - aloha nui loa…
We loved our stay here. Every little detail was well thought out and everything we needed was right there. The location is fantastic, close to great beaches and restaurants but away from the resort crowds.
Loved it.

Thank you for loving Hale ‘Uhane, and for being wonderful guests! It is amazing that you got to see the fiery sky from Mauna Loa’s rare eruption from the safe distance of our location. You can see the snow on the volcanoes now from the yard, and the ocean at the same time. You are welcome back any time for more of the magic of Big Island…
The property was immaculate and great location. The hosts communicated with us promptly and answered all
Our questions. Highly recommend this vacation rental.

Thank you for setting the standard in taking good care of a home, and for your great review! So glad Hale ‘Uhane served you for both work and fun. It’s nice to save driving time and instead be at the beach or top restaurants. You are welcome back any time - aloha nui loa!
This home is perfect for a family! Comfortable and felt like home. Host was very friendly and responsive.

Thank you so much for choosing Hale ‘Uhane for your work trip! Nicest and cleanest guests ever! So happy to welcome you back for your second stay…mahalo nui loa.
We had a wonderful stay on the Kohala Coast—-a stones throw from all the beautiful beaches, yet also close to our friends in Waimea. This was a very clean VRBO with a nice BBQ and outdoor area. It was a beautiful home away from home! Loved our time here. Hosts were great! ….till next time….
Very nice property and location for us. Center of locations we want to visit. View was amazing! Furnished with everything you can imagine. Couldn't ask for better hosts! Thank you so much!

Thank you for your immaculate care of Hale ‘Uhane and for being lovely guests! It was great that you got to see so much of the island. Thank you for loving the view - we had some beautiful sunsets while you were here, and I hope you got to see that young whale that kept jumping in full view. You are welcome back any time, with all our aloha…
The owners go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need and make sure you can reach them if any questions or needs. Very comfortable, great area and has it all! We will definitely be back!

So glad you could be here during this time of many humpback whales! Thank you for your gratitude and wonderful care of Hale ‘Uhane. You are welcome back to Kawaihae any time. Aloha nui…
If you want to get to the best beaches quickly for a good price, this is a good choice. It was clean and felt new, with all the supplies we needed to get started. The road noise was noted beforehand, but it was quiet inside for a great night's sleep.

Thank you for taking wonderful care of the house, and for your great communication and trip prep beforehand. It was fun to know you were enjoying the beach, or some of the amazing places to eat. Lovely guests, and you are welcome back any time :)
This was the perfect house for our family! It had everything we needed and then more. The location was perfect, close to the best beaches on the island and lots of great dining. The guest book provided lots of ideas for activities, shopping and places to eat. The hosts were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond, especially with the thoughtful homemade sweetbread waiting for us when we arrived, the delicious Hawaiian coffee, drinks and even sand toys for the kids! Wonderful vacation! Mahalo ❤️

We enjoyed having your lovely ohana at Hale ‘Uhane so much! Really wonderful that you planned out your trip and made full use of our convenient location. We love to see guests do the beach in the morning and have the full day for something else. Then back for a sunset! Thank you so much for bringing your aloha to Kawaihae and warmest welcome and aloha in the future…
We had a wonderful stay and couldn't be happier. The fresh baked bread was as a welcome gift and was fantastic. The property was well stocked with everything you'd need for an extended stay away from home. This is a quiet location away from all the hustle and bustle from the busy tourist areas and perfect for our group. We loved how quickly we could be on our way to a variety of adventures and then return to a peaceful home to visit, cook, watch stars and enjoy cool breezes on the patio with our friends. I would book here again the next time I come to see the big island.
This was our 2nd visit to Hale 'Uhane. It was an easy decision to stay here again. The hosts are so kind and wonderful. The house has eveything our little family could want. It was well-stocked for beach adventures, plenty of utensils and cookware, room for the kids to run around outside, and a relaxing space outdoors. The lights and tiki torches at night were fun too. We love the location for getting to our favorite beaches early and quick trips to Waimea.

We were so excited to have you back to Hale ‘Uhane! We don’t bother our guests, but we get to know everyone from the communication and gratitude expressed. We had young fruit on all the trees, and your amazing kids didn’t pluck one thing! Thank you for tucking into our neighborhood and island life like you have always lived here. A hui hou, until we see you again!
This property was the perfect place for our Big Island trip. From the time we booked early spring until the day we left, everything went smoothly. Communication was prompt and never overbearing. The binder in the home outlined the owners’ expectations and reviews of amenities.
If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable home with a great backyard and close to the best beaches on the island, this is the place for you. We would stay here again, without hesitation!

We were so happy you chose Hale ‘Uhane for your first trip to the Big Island! What lovely guests, who did your homework and chose a great location. Thank you for taking meticulous care of the home and the ocean. Come on back when the mainland gets cold - you are always welcome! Aloha nui…
I cannot recommend this place enough. I came here for a conference and this place had everything I needed to ensure a nice, relaxing and comfortable stay. The hosts were readily available. They even made me feel even more welcome by gifting me fresh bread. Their generosity is unmatched. The location is very quiet and the neighbors are respectful. A true oasis.

Thank you so much for the beautiful aloha you brought to Hale ‘Uhane! Many of our conference guests choose us because they like to prepare their own food, rather than relying on a hotel. We want you to be pleasantly surprised by the peace and privacy. You are a treasured guest, and always, always welcome back! Mahalo nui loa for everything…
What a nice apartment! Conveniently located. Close to many great beaches. The kitchen is perfectly equipped and organized. Spacious living area with great air conditioning and ceiling fans. The back yard overlooks a panoramic view of mountains, lava flows and the ocean. Patio with propane barbecue, picnic table, lounge chairs and covered lanai. The manager was friendly and welcomed us with a plate of macadamia nut cookies and coffee! I would stay here again for sure.

We are so glad you took the time to look at the mountain and ocean views and explore the nearby beaches! We saw you settle in and become locals, and find the wonderful farmers markets and the fish market at the harbor. Such a lovely family, and we’ll see you when the Island calls you back. A hui ho!
My family had a wonderful time staying at the property. The hosts were very welcoming and communication was great. The house was exceptionally well stocked and appointed. We were very comfortable.
The location 5 minutes from some of the very best beaches on the island made it easy to go down to one beach in the morning, come home for lunch, and then head to another beach in the afternoon.
Its also a short drive to Hawi or Waimea for those periods when something other than beach time is called for.
We would be very happy to stay there again in the future.

Thank you so much for caring for Hale ‘Uhane and for appreciating our little Village! So glad you took the time to explore the amazing beaches you can see from the yard. There are also great walking paths, with historic information, near Spencer, by Kawaihae Harbor. We loved having your gracious family, and look forward to your return! A hui hou…
Great holiday getaway for adult family’s first time on the Big Island
My 84 yr old father, my husband and my sister and I enjoyed this vacation house for the holidays. We were able to visit the whole island’s sites in day trips and come home to great sunsets and bbq dinners. The massage chair was very relaxing while watching a movie. The beach chairs and towels were so nice to take with us and check out beaches and snorkel spots. Very well appointed for activities and rest. Nick was quick to respond to the only issue we had with the router and we were back online! Super hosts!

Thank you for being wonderful guests, and for reminding readers of our great, central location! It’s possible to see the amazing places on Big Island, without wasting lots of time driving. If you need a rest, the beaches, resorts and award -winning restaurants are super close. The sense of “five mountains”, or the volcanos in the distance is comforting. It’s a great time to get some tropical sun, and then star-gaze at night. See you again and mahalo nui loa!

This beautiful home gave me and my kids the peace and quiet we needed. I liked that it was outside of Kona. Yet it was only 3 minutes away from Spencer Beach Park. I've been to Kona three times Spencer Beach Park is one of my favorites cuz it's really easy for the kids to swim there.
This is my first time staying at this home and I hope it's available next time I'm on the Big Island!
This home has all the amenities you need. Plenty of space for us and we are a family of five.
There was a loaf of bread and a bottle of wine waiting for us which I think was very kind of the owners to do.
This place is super ship shape, efficient with space and has everything you need. It also is minutes from some of the best beaches and just up the hill is Waimea. The hosts were more than attentive, checking in with us from time to time. They made us fresh baked bread when we arrived, which we majorly needed as our flight was delayed and we were so hungry. My little one also got a sea urchin sting and Nicole delivered a basket of toys to the door!! Nicholas and Nicole are a lovely couple and really care about their guests. Definitely will be coming back.
Beautiful Beach House, Super Close to the best Beaches and Resorts!
We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful and charming beach home! There was plenty of room for our family of four and there was even a bonus bathroom which was perfect for the kids! The house is completely updated and everything felt new. The massage chair is seriously amazing and we would probably come back just for that, but our stay was so perfect, we will definitely return! The hosts are so welcoming and treated us like family. We loved all of the touches like fun lights in the backyard and gear for the beach. The best beaches on the island are so close and we had some amazing meals at the nearby resorts. Staying at this beautiful home with the ability to cook our own food, while taking advantage of the nearby beaches and resorts was the best of both worlds for us!! Thank you for an amazing Hawaiian family vacation!
Best rental we ever had honestly, we feel truly blessed and loved when staying at this place. The host really means it when they say you're welcome as family! You can feel the love of the hosts from the details of the house. We were welcomed with homemade sourdough bread, butter and jam after a long flight arriving after midnight and no food! We had everything we needed for the beach provided. The massage chair is definitely a bonus and enjoyed by all of us. We asked for the bread recipe at the end of our stay and was even gifted a sourdough starter. We definitely hope to return here someday! Thank you so much for making our Kona trip amazing.
