We had a wonderful stay at Annie's place! It was well equipped with everything we needed, including all cooking utensils needed for meal and a beautiful pool/outdoor area to hang out in! There were six of us in our group and there was plenty of space! Being Canadians it was quite hot with no AC, but there were plenty of fans to help keep the place cool! The location was great, close to the beach and must see sights. Highly recommend to anyone staying in Kona! Thank you Annie!

Beautiful home with refreshing pool

The house looks just like the pictures! This place is in a good, quiet location very close to the main highway and practically within walking distance to magic sands beach (great boogie boarding spot). The property has beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards and a cart available for beach excursions. There was an adaptation phase for us with the home not having Air conditioning, but cooling off in the pool and using fans to channel air through the house worked well. We had a wonderful time and spent several days in the house recuperating from big adventure days.

Perfect family vacation.

This was our first experience renting a house in Hawaii. We usually stay in timeshare condos. Annie’s house was perfect and having our own pool was the best. None of us wanted to leave. We have spoiled ourselves and don’t think we can ever stay in a condo ever again. Just sad we did not get to meet Annie.

Absolutely AMAZING!

This property is beautiful and is in a prime location! I was a little skeptical since the owner lives on site, but it's perfect! Annie is the sweetest lady! She lives in the bottom story which has its own entrance. Having her on site is like having a free tour guide! She is truly a breath of fresh air. She is always making sure you have everything that you need and goes the extra mile! Her and her rental home really made our vacation even more spectacular!

Fantastic family vacation house in Holualoa

Our 6-person multi-generational group loved Annie's Hale! It was clean, roomy, comfortable, and in a location that suited us perfectly. We all appreciated the spacious common areas, the large and well-equipped kitchen, the lovely and interesting decor, and the amazing back garden and pool area. Coming back to the house and pool in the afternoons after our morning adventures was a real highlight of our visit to the area! Annie's Hale served as an excellent base for exploring the South Kona area. We had a rental car, and from the house it was just 10-20 minutes to excellent snorkeling beaches and boat tours, Kona coffee farm visits, and grocery shopping. We appreciated the location away from the main tourist roads and traffic, which meant quiet stargazing evenings on the back patio. During our stay in late March we had partly cloudy days and some showers. While it got a little warm in the sunnier bedroom (we'd recommend replacing that particular pedestal fan), we were mostly comfortable using the fans provided. Overall, we'd highly recommend Annie's Hale and hope to be so lucky as to return there in the future!

Relaxing Big Island Retreat

This house was the perfect home base for our family of six to explore the beautiful beaches of Kona and the Kohala Coast. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood with a view of the pacific from the lanai, it’s just a short drive from restaurants, grocery stores and shops. The house was filled with amenities like a well stocked kitchen, toiletries in the two walk-in shower bathrooms, and beach items for us to use like beach chairs, coolers & boogie boards. As much as we loved the inside of this accommodation, the outside was the real treat and our favorite place to relax, unwind and eat meals. The back patio is large, filled with beautiful tropical plants, tables, lounge chairs, a nice gas grill and a fabulous walk-in salt water lighted pool surrounded by lava rock. The host, Annie, was amazing. She was so friendly and helpful from the time we booked and throughout our stay. Annie was a delight and answered all our questions with top notch recommendations for restaurants and beaches. This was especially helpful since a member of our party was traveling with a wheelchair and crutches and we needed help locating the most accessible beaches for her. We were so happy with every minute we spent here at Annie’s Hale.

Holidays at the Hale

My wife and I lived at Annie’s Hale for a month over the Christmas-New Year holidays and had a wonderful time. The Hale was very clean, smelled good and was well equipped. Lots of fans around the house and they were well used and kept us comfortable. Three nice sized bedrooms and two bathrooms gave us lots of room to spread out. Annie’s family business used to be hardscaping so there are lots of reminders throughout the house, from the extensive slate floors in the main rooms to the massaging pebble floor of the bedroom opening to the back yard. It was an adventure to explore. The real star of the property is the huge deck and swimming pool out back. It is an oasis of imaginative hardscaping and tropical plants. The pool is very clean, smell-free, and was ideal for wading with its gently sloped entry – perfect for small children. The water temperature in the deep end could be bracing, but we soon got used to that. We laughed as the local mynas, java sparrows, spotted and zebra doves, and saffron finches jostled for room to bathe and drink in the warm shallows. I also had a welcome visitor, a small 5” lizard, who would often perch on my toes to catch any flies foolish enough to harass me. He must have caught 8 or 10 while we were there. The geckos were also around and so fun to watch. Would we stay at Annie’s Hale again. Definitely, yes.

Great Base in Kona

Anne's Hale is a great place to relax. I thoroughly recommend staying at her lovely property if you are interested in learning how people actually live in Hawaii. LOCATION: We have visited the Big Island many times but have always stayed in the Waikoloa Resort. Even on this trip we split our time between the house and the Hilton 6/3 days and I'm so glad we did it this way. It was so nice to be close to the activities and restaurants that were more reasonably priced than in the resort area. Downtown was 5 minutes north and Keauhou shopping center was 5 minutes south. I also would recommend being on the ocean side of Hwy 11. There are similar homes up on the hill but they were stuck in clouds and rain the entire time we visited. The area was also much further away from everything. AMENITIES: The amenities here are totally undersold. There is every single item you'd want for a beach adventure (including 2 umbrellas). Nearly every type of pool toy or raft is ready in the pool area. The internet is very fast and WiFi is everywhere. We visited during the warmest part of the year and were prepared to be hot as the standard Hawaiian home by the water does not have AC. Anne was prepared for this as every room not only has ceiling fans but also floor-standing fans. We slept comfortably every night and felt very safe in this neighborhood. The neighbors were all very respectful there are no 'party houses' or really any other rentals nearby. We have been travelling during 2021 and I think rental homes are the best bet for stays over 5 days. With the moving health targets during the pandemic, it is so valuable to have a pool, a kitchen, a dining room to do take-out and space to spread out. I will admit I was a bit apprehensive when I learned the owner does live on site but this was a big-time positive on our trip. Anne is a real pro at knowing just how much to interact with guests and provide a helpful recommendation here and there. Like she says in the listing, you can interact with her as much as you please. When it was time to leave, my kids hugged her 'aloha'. When the neighborhood was put under a tsunami watch late one night, she texted reassurances and informed us when it was over. The same was true when we needed information on the wildfires near Waimea or when the emergency siren was tested. Thanks again for opening your home to travelers looking to live our their fantasies of moving to Hawaii. A hui ho!

Great resort style pool and backyard!!

I was remiss in not checking if AC was available in this house. Due to the humidity in Kona, it took us a couple of days to get used to it. The many fans in the house helped, but it was the pool area that became our haven every day, after visiting many sites in Kona!!

About the host

Hosted by Anne Reece

Host profile image
I have been blessed to live in the Islands for about 30 years.Moved to Kona in 1989 from Oahu,raised two daughters in this home.
I own JUST UKES, an ukulele retail shop on Alii Dr here in Kona.
I Decided it's time to allow other families a chance to experience this home and great neighborhood.This home has always been a great 'GATHERING PLACE'. And maybe you'll learn how to play the Ukulele while you are here.Two Ukes and books will be in the house, and a special discount to guests who decide to buy one of their own and take a piece of Hawaii home with you...
I live in a separate studio under this home.Very private from main home.Most guests have a hard time finding me! So Home,driveway and pool are all yours.So far everyone has enjoyed having me on site. At first I was nervous about how this might affect the beauty of this vacation rental.It's been great from both sides! You have a personal Concierge,and I meet wonderful people on vacation! And then there's Kirby,my wonderful Sheltie!!! Loves everyone.... So if you love dogs,he's your doggie fix,if not,you won't even know he's on site.I take him most everywhere with me.
Remember I've lived on the Big Island for along time,so I can direct you in the right direction.
With Aloha,
Annie

Why they chose this property

My 2 daughters learned how to drive on this street ,and so have many others after them.This home has always been a gathering place for friends and family and I hope it will be for yours also.Close to many activities,town, beaches,and I am always close by for any questions you may have.I only have this one property so you are my priority.

What makes this property unique

Salt water pool with an access known as Beach Access,because you can walk into it like you would a beach. Many children have learned how to swim here and it's also great to sit in a chair and read a book or strum an Ukulele....
Kitchen has room for many cooks. 6 burner gas stove and 2 ovens.
Slate in main living areas,so don't worry about coming in wet from the pool.
Watch the waves from kitchen bar area,while you are sipping your coffee.I usually walk down to see them up close.I also walk at night in this neighborhood,very safe...I hope you take the chance to experience this home away from home....
