About this property

Direct OCEANFRONT, Custom Polynesian Design, See WHALES & DOLPHINS, Sunbathing

Welcome to @haleromantik!
On the Big Island of Hawaii, we are located at sea level in the last fishing village of quiet, rural Milolii on an ancient lava flow, with lava coastline.

Located 33 miles south from Kailua-Kona, we are just a short 63 miles to Volcano National Park.

Approximately 1-1/2 hours drive south from the Kona International Airport. The road from the highway to my home has many switchbacks. It takes a while to meander down the hillside to get to my home.

We are equi-distant between many popular tourist sites located on the Kona Coast side of the Big Island, i.e. Kealakekua Bay, Place of Refuge, Kahalu'u Black Sands Beach Park, Honomalino Bay, Punalu'u Black Sands Beach Park, Volcano National Park, to name a few.

OCEANFRONT Hale Romantik' on the Big Island of Hawaii, South Kona Coast is located just 40 feet from the ocean. Feel the beauty, sound and excitement the Blue Pacific brings to you. When the high surf impacts the cliff below, causing and occasional surge, sending a fine spray all the way above the deck, it makes a shaking sensation to the house in a surprisingly pleasant manner.

You will not have to look for the whales. You will hear them! And then look! There are also Spinner Dolphins, Green Sea Turtles and occasionally Manta Rays all year long. The waters in this location are considered some of the best KAYAKING and fishing grounds in Hawaii. Snorkeling equipment and Kayaks are also available for your use, on the property.

This oceanfront home has open beam ceilings throughout the house, adding to the sense of space; great for air circulation and a true feeling of Polynesian design with the exotic beams and designer palm fans dramatically displayed above. Italian porcelain tile throughout; simply a pleasure for your stay.

The home has all amenities, including a 500 sq. ft. lanai. Large expanses of windows and sliding doors, connect the home to its ocean views, allowing you to view the ocean from nearly every room, even from each bedroom. Every night you will watch the sun set below the horizon.

This oceanfront home is simply immaculate and fully equipped. Has all what you need including a George Foreman Electric Grill. We cater to the particular!

The home has two deluxe bedrooms with open ceilings for airflow but also sound will carry from room to room. Two separate ensuite deluxe bathrooms with double vanities, with extra large porcelain sinks, and two separate walk-in tile and glass block showers is another highlight. No air conditioning, just the tradewinds to keep you cool!

Milolii is known throughout the islands for its deep sea fishing, and clear waters. The 'last fishing village' in Hawaii is just a 10 minute drive within the Milolii Beach Lots subdivision, where an approx. 15 min. hiking trail leading to a coconut tree lined black sand beach (Honomalino), offers fantastic snorkeling.

The village has a County boat ramp and camp grounds, and offers easy access for kayaking and deep sea fishing.

Milolii offers some of the most underdeveloped stretches of coastline on the Big Island, with secret beaches to explore. It's also a neighborhood with homes nearby.

Seasonal whale watching and Spinner Dolphins. Humpback Whales visit the Hawaiian waters annually from November through May. These endangered mammals enjoy the state's warm waters in the winter to breed, give birth and nurse their young.

Spectacular sunsets can be viewed directly from the oceanfront house. Have your camera ready! Milolii......'where the sun meets the sea', and everyone says hello!

Relaxing Vacation
Our second one month stay. This stay was just as great as our first. Whales, dolphins, sea turtles, and sharks all right in front of you. Excellent view in a quiet setting. House was great; stocked with every travelers’ needs. Communication with property owner is fabulous. We will be returning. Highly recommend.

Hale Romantik Feb2025
This is our second stay at Hale Romantik; a lovely house in a neighborhood a short distance away from the fishing village of Miloli'i. This is a lovely house with all you need to relax and cook your meals if you want to stay in (which we did most nights). We came this year to watch whales migrating and were not disappointed! We plan to return!

True Hawaii Getaway
We are 2 seniors who have done all the touristy Hawaii things, so we do not need luaus, fancy restaurants and over priced parking. Instead, we relaxed in the super quiet heaven that this property possesses. The house is at the edge of a cliff with the best views of the ocean anywhere in Hawaii. Every night an amazing colorful sunset happens. We got up every morning in time for coffee on the lanai and to hear all the birds as they began their day. There is no need to go anywhere when you are here! It's like your own home, just bring the food. There is a nice beach (O'Hokena) which is a 45 minutes drive from the house. Captain Cook is not much further with a grocery store, Korner Pocket for pool and great food, and if you must, a McDonalds. No matter where we went, we couldn't wait to come "home" to this peaceful relaxing retreat. We are coming back next year! The 15 minute winding road to the house is full of wildlife...we saw chickens, horses, mongoose, native quail and were gobbled at by a couple of turkeys. Enjoy that drive!

Great Start to Our Honeymoon
I really enjoyed this location because of the proximity to the ocean. The waves can be seen just feet away! The set up was great for us as a couple but there would have been enough room for 4-5. The road leading to the rental is steep and windy, so be sure to take it slow, especially in the dark. The kitchen was wonderful and we were able to make use of the laundry services too which was really convenient. It was a great stay!

Fantastic Hale Romantik
This is our second stay at Hale Romantik and obviously we loved it the first time. Romantik is perched right on the edge of an 8-10 foot cliff which falls away into the beautiful Pacific. We marveled at the thunderous waves crashing into the cliff below and spraying 30 or more feet into the air, sometimes landing on the lanai roof. It is definitely a spectacular (and fun) display by Mother Nature when rollers occasionally come ashore. Don’t be put off by it – embrace it. We did!! The main part of the house is very well appointed. It has a nice kitchen with all the normal appliances and a large refrigerator with a great ice maker is very welcome, also.Romantik has two mirror image master bedroom/bathroom areas. Both have king size beds. These areas are separated from the kitchen/living room by large sliding glass doors with shades that crank down for privacy, if needed. There are no ceilings in the bedrooms, so sound drifts up over the walls, but the air circulation is improved in and about the high ceilings. The bathrooms have conventional ceilings for privacy. People seem shocked about how far Hale Romantik is from the Kailua-Kona nightlife. Don’t they look at online maps??? People also mention the winding switchbacks of the last 3 miles to get to Hale Romantik. Just show a little aloha to oncoming traffic and all will be fine. We highly recommend Hale Romantik for a couple who want to really get away, or for two couples who know each other well.

Quiet and peaceful with the ocean at your door
We picked this VRBO for the remote location, seeking a good time of relaxation without the normal Maui or Kona tourism around us. The house provided that for us. Previous reviews highlighted the road into the subdivision, it's no joke, it's a seriously windy road. You won't want to leave the SD more often than needed but you do get more familiar with it after a few times. Quiet neighborhood, met the neighbor Kathy, very nice lady. If you want access to the water or a beach every day, this isn't the place for you, it's a decent drive to get to the black sand beach. Nice once you get there but unless you don't mind driving a couple hours total you will be disappointed. Sitting on the Lanai (top or bottom) was wonderful, relaxing and what we can hoped to find. House was very comfortable, adequately stocked and solid internet. Highly recommend the house if this is the type of get away your looking for. If you want a Maui/Lahiania type of spot you might consider other options in Kona.

Great quiet get away
House is just as advertised. Beautiful, Quite getaway. Clean, directly on water, very well equipped. Tons of spices in drawer. Perfect for two couples - identical bedroom suites with on suite bathrooms. But sound does carry due to 8’ walls then open above. Beautiful sunsets. Water and robust ice maker were great when we were there. Road from highway to house is steep and winding. Best done in daylight. Stop in Kona (Costco) for food as it is 25 minutes to nearest small, but adequate grocery located a bit further south.

Remote Getaway
Hale's Romantique was just as advertised. It's remote location removes you from the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas and puts you more in touch with Hawaiian nature. Even though the drive to the property is a little longer than most, it is centrally located to get you to most of the areas of the island you will want to visit. Just be aware that anywhere you go on the island does require driving due to the size of the island. The lanai was big and inviting and the interior of the home was very updated and immaculate. The bathrooms were extremely clean, as well was the kitchen which was fully furnished with anything that you might need. There were a lot of special touches to make your feel at home. One thing to remember, be sure to bring mosquito spray. At least if you are staying during the summer months. Overall, our stay couldn't have been any better. Thanks Kirsten for being a wonderful host!

Unbelievable view, quiet and restful.
Delighted with our stay! Just as beautiful as shown in the photo, this home has every comfort required for a family to enjoy restful sleep, quiet mornings and evenings. We loved rising early to stargaze and the fact that it’s directly on lava flow right on the ocean was a naturalist’s thrill! We had a great time exploring the cliffs and crannies at the end of the road as well. We appreciated being informed about the switchbacks traversed between the main road and the property which might feel harrowing to some, but the plants, animals and ocean views along the way are incompatible! We’d advise visitors on a tighter budget (like us) to read through what’s included at the home carefully to avoid bringing anything unnecessary since airlines are charging extra for luggage these days and to stop at a grocery store (there’s both a Walmart and a Costco near KOA and numerous smaller local markets) to pick up gallons of drinking water, sunscreen, and food for meals and picnics you plan to make, and to keep an eye out for fruit stands as you make your way to the property instead of heading back out for these things later since it is pretty remote. If shopping, bustling tourist areas with lots of excitement and nightlife are your thing, this would definitely not be right for you; however, if you want to enjoy the quiet beauty of a natural setting within a decent drive to other locations filled with geological and biological wonders, this will be the perfect place to stay.

Two couples
The property is beautiful, clean, and the doors were unlocked when we arrived so check-in was easy. Stop there. DO NOT USE THIS PROPERTY. The water was contaminated and caused EVERYONE in the group to be sick. We lasted three days out of the 10 we had booked entirely due to the water. It smelled rancid. Even the Previously made ice Caused the entire refrigerator to smell rancid. We contacted the owner and she asked us to un book through Vrbo so that she could re-rent the place. Even though she responded quickly, she did not hear me that her water caused everyone to get sick. The road coming down the mountain into Miloli’i Was completely understated. It contained no Less than 75 turns and four major hairpin turns going straight down the hill towards the ocean. It alone caused Major Anxiety anytime we came or left. The rental is 1.5 hours from Kona, even though only 37 miles. Beware. VRBO will not refund due to unsanitary/unhealthy conditions. The host said she would only refund if she could find another renter This is very sad considering how sick people were. Seems like making money trumps common sense.

Indescribable. We loved it!
This property was perfect for our stay. It was clean, had all necessities we needed plus some helpful extras including books and fans. The neighbors are quiet, it had plenty of room inside for 2 couples as well as a fantastic lanai to relax and enjoy the incredible view. We knew from the photos that it had an ocean front view with volcanic cliffs but pictures will never do it justice. It is absolutely breathtaking and perfect for those wanting to experience the uniqueness of Hawaii apart from the more traditional beaches. There is quite a drive to and from any restaurants, tours, etc. but even the drive itself is wonderful and worth it. This was our first visit to Hawaii and we are already planning to go back!

Fabulous and relaxing time at Hale Romantik
My husband and I were looking for a relaxing place to stay after spending 5 days in Volcanos National Park, and this was the absolutely perfect spot! The location on the lava bluff was outstanding, as it was so relaxing and peaceful to sit on the lanai and look at the water and fish/dophins swimming by. The house facing west allowed us to enjoy beautiful sunsets every night. With the exception of a few day trips, we wanted to primarily relax and have all our meals at the house. This was easy to do, because the kitchen was extremely well equipped! The bathrooms were wonderfully appointed with all amenities. The bedrooms were spacious, and beds were comfortable. There were lots of good outlets for normal plug in and USB. Kirsten really seemed to have thought of everything to make the stay at Hale Romantik absolutely fantastic and so relaxing. We are already talking about when to come back during the winter to watch the whale migrating.

Great Ocean Front Gem
Fabulous ocean front home with sweeping views of the water. Everything was great and the fridge even has a working ice maker. Special treat there if you like ice in your drinks. We did find the moisture in the air from the ocean caused all the dirt on the floor to stick to the bottom of your feet or socks but that was quickly remedied by having flip flops or sandals available. Saw whales, dolphins and even a shark swim by. Great place in a relaxing location.

Excellent Property
The house we rented for a month was exactly as listed. Well appointed amenities, an ocean facing lanai that we lived on, and a view of the Pacific Ocean you have to experience to believe how fabulous it is. Pictures do not do justice to what you will have. Our host kept us informed of weather/tide conditions via text. The house was very clean with a well stocked kitchen, and the open air designed always insured a breeze throughout the house. We saw whales every day along with dolphins, flying fish, and sea turtles from the comfort of the lanai. We decided to cancel our Panama Canal cruise for next February and rebooked Hale Romantik. I highly recommend this property for a truly fabulous get-away vacation.

We thoroughly enjoyed our days at this property and were perfectly content to relax on the lanai and marvel at the view.

It was our 33rd wedding anniversary and she even left us a bottle of champagne and a box of chocolates with a card to help us celebrate.

Hale Romantik’ is an ocean front dream come true!
My wife and I stayed here for a week and it was absolutely wonderful. First of all, no offense to the other reviewers but the road down to the house is not a big deal at all. It takes about 10 minutes to get down off of the main road but there is no difficulty in it. We read a lot of reviews mentioning getting groceries before you go to the house due to the distance that you have to drive. We got off the plane and drove right to Costco and Walmart. I bought many things including condiments only to find out that Kirsten’s house was so well stocked it had many of these things in the kitchen already. I don’t think you can bank on having everything but I’m not sure I would rush to the grocery store on my next trip. I would check what’s in the kitchen and then also load up on the local fruit from the fruit stands along the road down to the house. The view from the lanai is absolutely unreal. You can watch fish swim in the water right in front of the house. The neighbor is close but they are super respectful about privacy and we only exchanged pleasantries once in a week. I recommend walking around the village to check out the awesome lava formations and go down to the old boat launch to enjoy some snorkeling. The ability to wash clothes was a big bonus. Wifi was strong enough for me to remote work. Kayaks & boogie boards are available but we ran out of time to enjoy them. I recommend renting a 4WD that allows you to drive to the Green Sand beach and Mauna Kea, it was amazing!
