Hale Hapuna is your private oasis perfectly located to enjoy all the Big Island has to offer.

World class beaches of Hapuna and Mauna Kea await you just 5 minutes away as well as many others lining the Kohala coast.

Hale Hapuna is in a small residential village on the hillside overlooking the ocean in Kawaihae near the harbor. It is located between Kailua-Kona (40 minutes) and Hilo (90 minutes) and 30 minutes from KOA airport in Kona.

Comfortable, clean, well-stocked
It was such a pleasure for our family of four plus an extra college student to stay here. Everything was clean and bright, everyone had individual climate controls in their rooms, and the kitchen was so well-stocked with just about anything a person could need. The property manager was so helpful and easy to work with. Mahalo!

Delightful bungalow
We loved our stay here for 4 days of beach days and dinners on the grill. Did yoga on the deck every morning- and watched the sun set. Delighted in the outdoor shower. Beach chairs, cooler bag. 1 snorkel mask with 2 fins. Communications were seamless. We loved sharing the family neighborhood found it quiet and comfortable. The outside area is very peaceful and the house is well appointed for cooking. Can’t wait to return!!

Great spot north of the busy spots, and conveniently close to both Waimea and the northern beaches. The outdoor patio spaces made the stay amazing - fenced and with varying amounts of shade was perfect for kids (and adults!). Host was very responsive.

Neat Decor
Overall, a nice place to stay. But there were some electrical quirks—nothing major. Neighborhood not very appealing. For older guests, there really needs to be a handrail to go up to the view deck. It isn’t safe for anyone with any mobility issues. We weren’t able to use the deck at all after going up there once, so we saw no lovely sunsets. But very cute living area. Tiny bathroom. AC was a big plus!!

Good views and Cozy Property
The check-in was straight forward with ample supplies provided. Was one of the most well stocked with utensils in the kitchen, toiletries as well as ample spices. Furthermore, it has beach supplies namely chairs, umbrellas, towels and boogie boards. The house itself had a fantastic backyard with an upper and lower zen like deck with a water feature. Loved the outdoor shower too. The home was well decorated and property manager, Joe, was on top of everything and very responsive. Only consideration is the location, will need to drive everywhere. Although, that pretty much applies to all places on the Big Island unless you are staying at resort. Would highly recommend this site!

This place was perfect for our family of 4! We left early in the morning most days and came back at dark to relax and enjoy the backyard. We grilled almost every night and enjoyed the absolute privacy that this place offered. Management was great and communicated with us during our trip. We couldn’t have picked a better place! Thank you

Charming bungalow
A little jewel away from the crowds. This place has everything you need. Small but comfortable for my family of 4. We loved catching a sunset on the deck and sitting in the outside oasis-just as pictured. Management checked in just before arrival and was receptive to one text on wifi. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect!
This property was perfect for our family. We explored the entire island and this was a great comfortable, quiet and well stocked place to call home. The lanai was fantastic, and so much thought was put into setting up this home for guest. We didn’t need a thing but, appreciated being checked on during our stay.

This Hale has everything you could possibly need while exploring all the amazing places in this area. Comfortable and spacious with all the amenities to be self sufficient. The outdoor Lanai is a garden paradise with several levels to enjoy shade, eat outside and take in the sunset. We throughly enjoyed our stay here, excellent communication and beautiful location.

This place was so hard to leave. It is rare to find a place with any nod to design in vacation rentals without spending a fortune. We appreciated the relaxing Asian vibe, the fully stocked kitchen, and the attention to detail. This place is immaculate and comfortable, and we loved the views. Communication was terrific. I pray we can return. If you are on the fence, just do it.

Near Mauna Kea
Stepping through the gate kind of took my breath away. Beautiful multi-level outdoor space with several seating areas and outdoor dining table. Spacious kitchen/dining/living area nicely decorated with Hawaiian and Southeast Asian art. Single full bath was perfect for us as a couple but might be challenging if staying with as many as this property could sleep. Location is a bit of a drive from groceries (8 miles to Foodland in Mauna Lani complex) and a pharmacy but proximity to a couple of the best beaches (Hapuna etc) and historic/cultural sites make it one of the best locations for outdoor activities. It was our first visit so we’re not familiar with the Big Island but I suspect this is one of the best locations available. Note that Walmart and Costco have locations near the airport so a little planning would help for families and groups that’d need more food supplied. Kitchen was particularly well supplied with equipment and utensils for a rental. Foodies and couples feeling romantic will find fancy resort dining within ten minutes. Merriman’s is about 15 minutes toward Waimea. Less expensive options are even closer at Seafood Bar (good for families). Blue Dragon is close too but seemed rowdy for us. Some places are closed Saturday night or close early - so be aware. All in all a great value in spacious and peaceful surroundings.

Just book it!
Absolutely fabulous place to stay by the best beaches on the island. This was the perfect rental for our family, which included my 10-year-old daughter. The ocean-view from the ourdoor balcony is dreamy, the outdoor patio/garden is a Zen retreat, the inside was perfectly clean, well-designed, and outfitted with all you need. Beach gear included towels, boogie boards, and chairs (we didn’t see kids’ beach toys, though they may have been hiding). Do bring your own coffee (non provided). I would not hesitate to recommend this place to my dearest friends.

Perfection Again
Second stay in this little house, and we'll definitely try to book it again. Manager response was quick and positive when we requested an additional day - hooray! Bed very comfortable; kitchen with so many cooking items that I was tempted to actually prepare meals, lol. The fragrance of the plants and citrus trees on property was the icing on this fabulous cake.
