We stayed 2 nights, and it was extremely peaceful. The main thing to do at the Whale Crossing is to enjoy nature, the birds, the view of the ocean, the quiet and calm. We went into Hawi and hiked one day, then brought dinner home each night from a restaurant in town to enjoy on the little deck. This place is definitely not fancy at all, but the view and serenity are unlike any you will find in Kona.

Country retreat
We had a peaceful stay in the tiki hut. We could eat breakfast on the patio and watch whales. The sky was full of stars at night and we could leave the patio slider open for airflow all night. This is a great place we'd recommend for a couple wanting a country retreat.

A Whales Crossing was a fun stay in a unique area with sweeping views and stunning sunsets. Linda was a great host and has a well appointed unit.

Always the best!
This was our second stay at the Whale Crossing! Our stays were a few years apart. It was as beautiful as we remembered. We were treated to the wonders of the whales breaching time and time again. Its like being on your own island on the island! If you want total relaxation and seclusion, this is your calling card. Linda and Marty are simply the best hosts. We can't thank them enough for our adventures there. This is a must vacation cottage.

My favorite stay in Hawaii
First off, this isn’t your classic vacation rental. It is the cutest tiki hut with a separate bathroom building. No AC but not it’s not really necessary with the ocean breeze , ceiling fan and screens all the way around. Beautiful decorated. Owner even provided robes and sleep masks! We loved waking up to the ocean view visible right from the bed. Would stay here again in a heartbeat! Owners dogs were a bonus! They were friendly but not intrusive.

Extraordinary place to just, Be.
We booked 3 nights here to begin a 3 week vacation in the islands. It was great and we wish we had booked the whole first week here. Sleeping to the nature sounds, deep quiet too and then waking to the expansive view! We were able to exhale from our great but very active lives- to reset. Will come back just for the outdoor shower alone and stars alone. All the reviews are true - oh and thanks for the binoculars too.

Remote and relaxing!
If you want a true island experience - stay here! From the amazing view, to the open floorplan to the outside shower (don't panic, there is an inside one too) - this was a relaxing getaway. You are close to a few small towns that have stores and restaurants, but far enough away to have some solitude. All you needs are covered with supplies, amenities and even lots of beach equipment to use! Linda is an amazing host and very kind. We hope to come back soon!

Perfect Stay in the Perfect Place
Like old Hawaii! Beautiful tiki cottage tucked into a tropical paradise with a 360 degree view of the ocean and Maui beyond. We enjoyed the coastal hike (right next to the property) to historical landmarks while we watched whales breaching off the shore. Great proximity to Hawi, etc in the fantastic North Kohala area.
We Loved everything about the place including the sweet and friendly dogs. Linda and Marty were so friendly and perfect hosts. 5 star all the way*****

Views, Whales, Solitude
If you're looking for a real Hawaii experience away from the crowds and tourist areas, A Whale Crossing is for you. The accommodations are a little tight and the kitchen is basic, but it's actually very comfortable. The bath cabana is great and the outside shower was hot. The views from the deck were amazing and just below there's plenty of room to play fetch with the dogs on the extensive lawn area. Linda was a wonderful host. If you love the 4 Seasons or Mani Lani you probably wouldn't be searching VRBO for a unique, out of the way place to stay, so take a chance - you won't be disappointed.

A Slice of Heaven
If I was to ever move to Hawaii, Linda’s little place is the type of house I would want. It is scenic, rural, rustic and peaceful. What it is not, is a sterile, spotless hotel. My husband and I have been to the island many times but we wanted to explore the Kohola area. This house was the perfect home base. We enjoyed great hiking, snorkeling, beaching and marine life watching which was all in a few miles. Hawi is a great little village with nice shops and good restaurants. So if you want to have an experience where you live more like a local and experience a more rustic life, please rent this little slice of heaven.

Breathtaking and Special
My heart skipped a beat when I pulled up to this place. This is a one of a kind location on the northwest tip of the big island with a view that will take your breath away. If you can handle the rustic, slightly janky cottage (I found it to be perfect) and don't mind visits and very occasional barking from four extremely welcoming dogs then you, like me, will have found a glimpse into paradise. I'll be back. Hopefully many times.

Tucked away and worth a visit
If you need a “reboot” from the frenzy of big city living this is for you. The “challenged” road down to the property is worth the time. Once there it is a view of epic proportions and a very comfortable cottage. Linda and her smiling pack of Goldens are the best!

Spectacular ocean View and Whale Sightings
This property is truly a quiet slice of paradise on the beautiful big island! Marty and Linda are extremely friendly and helpful. It was a welcome change from the busy resorts. The king size bed is very comfy. The kitchen is a bit of a challenge to prep and cook food in, however, it has the basic needs. For whale watching, this property was terrific!

Unforgettable spot
This charming, rustic cottage is EXACTLY the kind of place I like to stay in Hawaii. The spot couldn't be better, isolated on the wild Hawi coast with a view you'll never want to leave. The kitchen is small but perfectly functional. The outdoor shower is divine. Linda is so kind and had lived in this spot with her family for many years. I could easily spend a couple of weeks here.

Relaxing cottage/bungalow by the coast
Beautiful place. We loved the view, the breeze from the coast, and being greeted by the owner's 4 affordable pups every morning. The view is hard to beat. The outdoor shower is the best feature. You've got trees and plants to give you full privacy while still feeling like you're showering out in a natural, open space. Very clean. Only thing is that we wish we had more surface area to put our stuff away, but that's minor bc everything, including all decorations, in the bungalow is charming. Linda is very sweet and responsive while still giving you all the privacy to make you feel like it's just you in your vacation rental. Thanks for a great stay!

A glorified camping experience
If we didn't feel so misled, we would be happy to give this five stars. There's a lot to like about this place: gorgeous view of the ocean, amazing starlit night, charming dwelling, quirky and interesting layout and configuration.
Ultimately, it feels like you're living in a poorly maintained camper: the power was unreliable, a breaker tripped unexpectedly when we plugged in a coffee grinder. We couldn't find an outlet that worked and when we did, all the power suddenly shut off. We had to force the front door to open. The back door handle was nearly detached and came off the tracks multiple times. The hot water for the bathtub was luke-warm and unusable for a soak. The kitchen was so small that all the utensils were in tupperware and the sink was larger than the counter-space. When we took a shower, we could see into the property-owner's kitchen.
All of this would have been fine if this had been properly announced in the description. Basic levels of maintenance are simply not being met.

A quiet birthday getaway
Aloha! My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time at Whale Crossing! We both live on the island and really wanted a getaway from Kona. We absolutely loved Linda and the doggos, the cottage was very comfortable and had everything that we needed.
I had only been to Hawi a handful of times, on the way to Pololu Valley, and we had a great time exploring the area.

Aloha 🌺 My husband, Marty, and I have lived here 40+ years. We are so lucky! A Whale Crossing Vacation Rental is a 'Special Place'. We call it a Hawaiian Experience... come visit and see the whales (Nov - Apr). We look forward to meeting you.
この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
It's the best.. very private in the countryside. Awesome ocean and sunset views. You can see Maui and enjoy stargazing under our dark skies. It's a Hawaiian Experience...
この宿泊施設の特徴
Very Historical... Walking distance to the ocean. Awesome Views!! Surrounded by 850 acres of Bishop Estate pasture land. Very Private... Whales give birth in the bay in front of our property.... Very Cool!! Some times the whales will wake us up at night flapping their tail and with their song. We have boogie boards, snorkel gear, beach chairs and even suntan lotion so come play.
