Hale Kai Nalu- Oceanfront Luxury Home W/ Pool & Spa- Hilo-Side

Welcome to Hale Kai Nalu (“home of the ocean wave”) - a perfect place to call home while you enjoy all that the magic that the Big Island has to offer. Here, everyday stresses will melt away and our Aloha-pace of life will become yours. Make our cozy and private oceanfront home yours while you vacation.

HOME DESCRIPTION
Hale Kai Nalu is a spectacular 3-bedroom, 2-bath home on the ocean with the best views. Unbelievable Sunrises here. Your experience will be one to remember, starting with this enchanting home with in-ground pool and hot tub. The master suite is located away from the other bedrooms and includes a walk-in shower, his and hers vanities, and a soaking tub. The 2 guest bedrooms and the guest bathroom are on the opposite end of the home. One of the guest bedrooms offers a wonderful view of the ocean as well while the other offers a garden view. Brand new living room furniture (see photo) as of August 2021!

The home is tastefully furnished and has just about everything you need to make your trip memorable. We provide all linens and towels, complimentary bottled water, and wireless high-speed internet access (bring your laptop). A charcoal grill and the fully equipped kitchen will provide you with all you need to create gourmet meals.

Lounge in the spacious custom in-ground pool overlooking the vast Pacific or simply enjoy a novel while relaxing on the deck. Soak in the hot tub with the stars above, the sounds of the ocean everywhere, and a nice cool glass of your favorite drink, after a long day of tropical adventure.

VIEWS and WILDLIFE
The view from the property is very special – you’ll be treated to the drama of the waves, white fluffy clouds, beautiful sunrises, passing cruise ships in the distance, and our version of backyard wildlife. Sea turtles, dolphins, whales (Nov-May), and even the occasional manta ray can be spotted from the oceanfront. Mynas, doves, cardinals, geese, great frigatebird, and other birds occasionally drop in for a visit and provide a source of entertainment.

STAYING GREEN
At Hale Kai Nalu, we strive to be friendly to the environment. We have a photovoltaic system, solar water heating, LED lighting, and energy-efficient fixtures. Ceiling fans throughout the home and screened windows allow us to take advantage of the wonderful breezes to cool the home. We partner with a eco-friendly house keeping service to minimize the use of harsh chemicals. Finally, we recycle and make it easy for our guests to participate with conveniently placed bins.


PRIVACY and SAFETY
The entire property is fenced for additional privacy and peace of mind. There is a front entry gate with an automatic opener (a portable remote control is available to allow convenient access from your vehicle). The oceanfront area is accessed through a pedestrian gate that is lockable. Access into the home is easy - there are no stairs and access through the front door is through a slight transition.

LOCATION
The home is located in Hawaiian Paradise Park, about 18 miles from the historic town of Hilo (main town of the Big Island) and 10 miles from Pahoa – you’ll have easy access to various shops and services. It is an ideal location to launch all of your east Hawaii adventures.

My 47 years as a resident and 43 years as a Realtor here, will ensure you know where to go and what to do to make it the perfect stay. I will tell you all the best places to go to fully make this a trip to remember. PLEASE come to the Big Island and our fantastic rental.

Subject to our standard contract provisions, and guest will be asked to send a rental agreement after booking.

Wonderful locale!
Property was located right on the ocean front. Loved hearing the crash of the waves and just enjoying the back yard/pool. The area was nice and we walked to a couple of different park areas that were nice. The layout of the house was perfect but the water pressure throughout the house was a little hit or miss. I know most of the houses around are on catchment systems so not a real big deal..

Great Stay
We had a great stay at the Hale Kai Nalu. Easy to communicate with the property owner ahead of time and the property was as promised. Also appreciated the list of things-to-do/see from the owner while in town. Can't believe how close the property was to the ocean, and the on-site pool was a nice luxury. We were mainly visiting the Big Island for Volcanoes National Park, and the property's location was great for us to do just that, as well as take in some additional local sights. Highly recommend.

The home was exactly as described. Our family loved our stay in the home. Listening to the waves crashing on the rocks was so peaceful. You can’t beat the views! The home was well appointed with everything you could need in the kitchen. The property felt very home-like and safe.

Great property for family vacation
This was a great property. Everything was as advertised. Well stocked to support enjoying the island. Location was excellent for exploring the east side of the island. Kids loved the pool and the hot tub was an added bonus. Would book this again if we return to the big island!

Relaxing getaway - way too short
We had a great stay! We enjoyed the pool and hot tub and the surf sounds were a great lullaby for afternoon naps. Bedrooms were comfortable and the individual A/C units kept them cool for sleeping. The property managers were very responsive to our questions. Our largest negative was that we didn't have more time (poor planning on our part!).

A return to “our” Hawaii family home
We were so happy that the house was available again this year. The house is very comfortable with a kitchen ready to go for socializing and cooking meals. Great pool. Easy drive to Pahoa Market, restaurants and downtown Hilo. The neighborhood itself remains a favorite for us. I’ve stayed here in this house at least 9-10 times since 2011. Terry and Amber are kind and get 5 stars for communication. It does feel just like home, except for the amazing ocean views and breezes.

Great Location. Amazing view
The house was great for our family trip. Our kids loved the pool and hot tub and the view of the ocean was awesome. The house was situated in a nice quiet area and was only a short drive to Hilo. The host passed along some great recommendations that we were very appreciative of. We would definitely recommend and we would definitely stay again.

Wonderful vacation home
Lovely vacation home with pool, hot tub and fantastic ocean view. The kitchen was well appointed and charcoal grill made cooking for a small group easy. It’s a bit of a drive off te beaten path, but that’s a part of the appeal. A reasonable drive to town gives you lots of grocery options and it’s a great location from which to go explore the National Park. We enjoyed our stay and had a great time.

Amazing Home Away from Home
This property by far has been our favorite on the islands. Nestled at the top of the ocean cliffs, the home was very private and away from the tourist areas. We spent many hours by the pool and made incredible family memories! Exceptionally clean! Loved our stay so much and already looking at coming back! Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Terry Schoneberg

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

We chose this location mainly for the peaceful, oceanfront location and its proximity to many of East Hawaii's sights. The half-acre lot provides privacy and the opportunity to create a lush tropical landscape. We're constantly experimenting with plants that thrive in the oceanfront environment so our landscape is wonderfully evolving.

What makes this property unique

Relaxing in the pool and hot tub are our favorite activities when we visit the property. Especially enjoyable is hanging out in the hot tub in the evening while looking out at the stars and moon, smelling the ocean mist, and listening to the surf.

Having the full kitchen and grill provides us with the ability to create home-cooked meals while visiting.
