This house is wonderful, with plenty of room to spread out. The location and view are absolutely wonderful and perfect for kids, teens and adults. Two minute walk to Magic Sands beach! We were back and forth all day every day. Loved this place!! The host were very accommodating as well!

Amazing view!
We had an amazing time! We enjoyed spectacular sunsets every night from the deck area, with breathtaking views of the ocean. We saw several whales and a turtle or two. It was so relaxing sitting in the hot tub and watching the waves crash against the rocks in the evenings. The house had everything we needed and more! They thought of everything someone might need. With all of the windows it is so bright and airy with views from every window. It is in an excellent location close to everything.I recommend this home to anyone! You will not be disappointed.

Beautiful and fun
We were a large group, three families and plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the beauty of this home and proximity to the ocean. We experienced a massive storm which was pretty cool (which brought inside a tremendous amount of crawling friends), beautiful sunrises and sunsets with whales to watch for hours; followed by the moon setting. The home is showing a bit of normal age and wear but was clean and comfortable. We had to reset the hot water heater twice and the stove didn't work. The instructions were massive but clear reading when necessary to figure out an issue (no hot water). We contacted the owner several times, each of which we were responded to quickly. We have recommended this home to several friends who are visiting the Big Island here in the near future.

Grandmas trip
This property was awesome. As advertised, right on the water, amazing views. House was well stocked with everything you needed for your stay. I went with my kids and grandkids and we couldn’t have been more please with the accommodations. Close enough to everything in Kona but far enough away to just enjoy the beach. Hosts were responsive and easy to deal with. This was an excellent experience I would highly recommend this house for your family vacation you won’t be disappointed.

Have stayed here 10 years ago, location wonderful on water and love large balcony and windows. Ck-in combo was given in email 3 days in advance and a text sent day of arrival with a different combinations to door- caused last minute confusion getting inside. Termite dust terrible in kitchen floor and counter and on chairs and table on balcony. Homeless sleep in park next door, and a woman in a van parked immediately next to house with music blaring from her van on 3 occasions, sleeping in car there overnight.

The Perfect Lanai
Our family enjoyed the property and location. We used the kitchen every day! The bedrooms were good and comfortably fits 8-9 people. The Lanai is very comfortable and a great spot for sunsets.
We did have a problem with sea urchin bites in the lava rock between the house and ocean, otherwise the property was great for our family.

Spent 10 days with the wife and kids. Close to everything. Like, walking distance close. 2 minute walk to Magic Sands. 3 miles to downtown Kona. House is stocked with everything you need for a day at the beach or in the water. Peter and Darla were responsive. Check in/out was smooth. Hot tub was excellent. Sunset views were epic. Already planning our return trip lol.

Spectacular location for you exploring Hawaiian paradise
This house was simply perfect for our Party of nine. And absolutely stunning stellar review of the Pacific, Ocean wildlife galore. He completely stocked kitchen with everything you could ever imagine needing. And then some. Comfortable beds incredible views ocean at Your fingertips. On a main road, easy walk to multiple beaches, snorkel, surf, paddleboard spots. As well as
places to eat.
Our hosts were extraordinarily easy to communicate with and completely wonderful. Could not recommend this place more.

Five Star views!
The location of this property is amazing! We saw turtles, dolphins, yellow tang, and crabs from the patio, as well as great people watching in the park next door. We enjoyed swimming and snorkeling from the small beach right next to the house. The kitchen was well stocked as mentioned. We slept with the windows open, and enjoyed the wave sounds and waking up occasionally to gorgeous views. It will comfortably sleep 7. If you don't mind sleeping in the living room, it will sleep two more. I knocked off one star because there were a few things that were broken while we were there, but hopefully the owners (who are very responsive) will have them fixed soon. We would definitely stay here again.

Gate issues initially. Views spectacular!! Seemed casual and pleasant but very outdated decor.
Oven and hot tub did not work. Dishwasher smelled bad. Disposal backed up and would not drain even with plunger. Studio has several steps, difficult to manage especially at night. Magic Sands beach very close to walk to and great! Bedrooms are very noisy to sleep with waves crashing. Lots of outdoor chairs and towels available. Owner responsive to calls which good.

Paradise found
Better than advertised or expected. Road noise as expected with the house situated on the water side of Alii Drive, but the sound of the surf nearly drowned it out, including the tire squealers of which there were a few. Great kitchen for cooking and bartending of which there were equal amounts. Everything provided for a day outing to the beach or wading or body surfing. Astounding display of humpback whales coming completely out of the water right in front of the house, several times 3 in the air at the same time. Dolphins seem to enjoy playing/feeding a little closer in than the whales, turtles came by every day, Yellow Tang in schools right below the house. Met wonderful locals and fellow travelers at the park next door.

Beautiful and Idyllic
This beautiful home was the perfect location for our family to settle in and enjoy our vacation. Located just south of Kona and near swim and snorkeling beaches, 8 adults were able to wander off for smaller group adventures in addition to spending family time in a large group. The main part of the home provided ample dining space indoors and out, while the spacious kitchen made it possible for several people to work on meal preparation. We were able to find all the utensils, pans and dishes needed to create multiple meals. The home itself was immaculate and the beds/baths made for comfortable accommodations.
I should mention that, while we made many of our own meals, we did get to experience a brand new restaurant adjacent to Magic Sands beach, which is about a five minute walk from the house. I hope you have a chance to have a cocktail on the deck at that location and enjoy the views... not that you need any other location beyond this home! The view off of the upper and lower lanais are spectacular and the sound of the ocean is soothing. This was a beautiful place and the vacation is unforgettable.

Mini Vacay
This place was right on the beach with one of the most amazing views. It’s only 20 mins fr Kona airport, close to many of the coffee farms, and right next to Poehoehoe Beach. I was here with my friends & family. There was plenty of space for 10 of us to easily lounge around. The kitchen was very well equipped and they even had beach chairs and umbrellas available for use.
There were only a few problems we had. The gate wasn’t working, so we had to manually open and close the gate when driving in & out of the property. The dishwasher wasn’t working and it’s no fun doing dishes for 10 people when you’re on vacation. There was a lot of ants in the kitchen, especially when you leave food out. Even though we had a few problems, the location and views with beach access makes up for it. I would recommend this place.

Hale Honu, heaven on earth!
Awesome location. Fabulous sunsets and sunrise. Comfortable home with great outdoor living space. The elders stayed downstairs in the studio suite and the young people stayed upstairs. Most of our activity was on the large lanai upstairs. We used the large round table to dine and play games. The sofas there were great for a short nap. You could see yellow tang in the ocean from the lanai each morning! The kitchen with it’s huge island was great! Very well supplied The appliances are all brand new and got a good workout each morning! Our group of 10 were well organized and with stations around the island at each meal, eating was made very easy. We changed our departure flights to later so we would have time to leave the home in order and some of the laundry done, ie beach towels. We started the laundering of the sheets and towels. The family thoroughly enjoyed their stay and would stay here again. Peter and Darla were very cordial and helpful, perfect hosts. They definitely embrace the aloha spirit! Many mahalos and a warm aloha, Claire Graham and Ohana

Wonderful venue for a family vacation
We had a great stay at this house. We were there for 6 nights and had six people with us. There was plenty of room for everyone to feel comfortable and not cramped and for one of our couples, it was their "babymoon" so a lot of privacy for them in their own suite worked out perfect. We were able to see whales off the top lanai one morning and they were breaching which was very cool. Several turtles were easily seen each time we went snorkeling as well as lots of interesting fish species. Peter and Darla did a great job of having everything documented as to where to find things at the house as well as favorite destinations on the island and directions as to how to get there from beaches to activities to dining suggestions. Everything was close by (within a 10 min. drive from most shops and beaches). We were able to go running several times while we were there as directly in front of the house was the road with very wide shoulders and the views along the ocean front were incredibly wonderful. There were also several "toys" that we were able to use such as body boards, fins and snorkels, plenty of beach towels and chairs for the beach. Overall, everyone had a wonderful time and I would highly recommend this location. The only caveat I would warn someone about is just be prepared for the surf of the ocean being pretty loud. Just know that going in and you'll be great.

Well-stocked home + unparalleled location = Unforgettable three-generation vacation
Pros: The home is well stocked and perfectly situated--right on the water and just a quick drive into town. When (and if) you do leave, you don't have to venture far even on foot. For example, Magic Sands beach and Magics restaurant and a shave ice truck are a two min walk, but there's a also a beach park right next door to the property which worked out great for little ones. We fully appreciated having plenty of beach chairs, life jackets, picnic equipment, and beach toys to take with us.
Cons: You won't want to go home! The house has its quirks, but none that would prevent my rebooking. There was some construction going on at nearby properties (next door and across the street) so if you travel in the near term you may hear a bit of noise if you stick around during the day, but you can just sit on the lanai and listen to the waves instead! (Birds, geckos, and, in the evening, insects, also enjoy the lanai so be prepared to share the space.) The other little things we noticed, we reported to the owners and they will address, so I don't have other concerns.
Other: It is one building but two separate units and separate entrances. To join the other unit, you go outside and go to the other entrance. We had three adults and two kids in the main house (upstairs) and two adults (one with mobility issues in the studio), and this arrangement worked great.

オーナーについて
オーナー : Peter and Darla
This is us, Darla and Peter, relaxing with friends and a 'Pint of Liquid Aloha' at the Kona Brewing Company! We bought our first oceanfront condo in 2002, on our first visit to the Big Island. (The Big Island definitely hooked us after several trips to the other islands!) We have been blessed to have several homes in Kona, including Hale Honu which we purchased in 2004. There is something about this particular spot on the ocean that everyone feels when they first walk on the site...maybe the turtles living in the cove, the spinner dolphins swimming by daily, or the calving humpbacks off shore every winter, but for us it was total love at first sight. We have been improving Hale Honu every year, with major remodels completed in 2008, 2014, 2016 & 2023. We make quarterly maintenance trips each year. We are both physicians (Darla retired). We have a large extended family, three grown children (all artists) and six grandchildren!
この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
You'll know why we fell in love with Hale Honu in the first thirty seconds that you stand on the sea wall and gaze over the ocean. Paradise. Amazing. Endless Ocean. Perfect... were our first thoughts. It continues to feel the same every day even after many years.
この宿泊施設の特徴
You can simply lose yourself in this place. Here there is a peaceful and intimate connection with the ocean. Whether it's the constant pulse of the waves, palm fronds swaying and clacking in the trade winds, laying in the hammock or soaking in the spa under star studded skies a few feet from the breaking waves, Hale Honu is 'just what the doctor ordered' to escape from your cares of the world. We all need down-time in which we can just breathe and let our bodies and minds relax and rejuvenate. You need look no further, you'll find it, and more, right here at Hale Honu.
