About this property

Oceanfront in Hilo Hale Kai Suites Heritage Room - Queen Bed, Private Bath

Come visit and see our gorgeous 2024 room renovations! Beds, furnishings, art, decor - everything is ALL NEW. The amazing ocean front view remains the same ;-)

Hale Kai Hawaii Suites offers four oceanfront rooms (booked individually) and a spectacular, panoramic view of the blue Pacific Ocean and Hilo Bay. We overlook the popular Honolii surfing beach in a peaceful location just 2 miles north of historic Hilo Town. Revel in the best views in Hilo while at our pool and oceanfront lanai!

The Heritage Room offers a queen bed, private bathroom with shower, WiFi, SMART TV, small fridge/freezer, microwave, coffee maker, hot water pot, toaster, dishes and utensils, ceiling and portable fans, no air conditioning, and sliding door to lanai. Continental breakfast items are stocked daily and we invite all guests to swim in the pool or lounge on the oceanfront lanai.

A few NOTES: One parking spot is provided per room in this quiet residential neighborhood. All Guest Rooms are facing the ocean on the lower level of the property and there are over 30 steps down (pictured) to traverse to the rooms. Guests are responsible for carrying their luggage to their rooms. Bookings limited to 2 guests per room (age 13 years and over). Quiet hours are 9pm to 8am for the comfort of all of our guests, Mahalo!

While at Hale Kai (House on the Ocean) Hawaii, enjoy watching surfers, dolphins, and seasonal humpback whales during their annual migration to the Hawaiian Islands from the north Pacific. Hale Kai Hawaii is recommended in the leading online sites and guidebooks for the Hawaiian Islands, including TripAdvisor, Frommer's, Fodors, Lonely Planet, Off the Beaten Path, Ulysses, Rough, Moon, and Hawaii, The Big Island Revealed.

You are paying for the ocean view! No AC!

Positives- Beautiful location and ocean view. Well kept property! Clean! Mini fridge in room was stocked daily with muffins, fruit, eggs and yogurt. Coffee supplied in room was very good. Negatives- I’m sure I overlooked the fact that this place did not have AC, so my fault…but wow was it brutal! We slept with door open and fan.. top sheet, the sound of wind woke us up all night every night. Pillows were really flat and bed extremely soft. My husband is basically a professional driver, and he was surprised how difficult the parking was. 1 spot at a very tight angel that you have to do a 3 point turn to get in and out of on a very steep incline. I never reached out to property manager as we were on the go everyday! But met upon arrival room attendant and she was very friendly! We wouldn’t stay here again only due to no AC.

Great quiet place. Waking up and having fresh fruit and coffee on the lanai was incredible. Parking was a little tricky as the lot is incredibly small but we figured it out after a day or two.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I am very happy with my stay at this location. Reason I gave it four stars was because the hot tub was promised but it wasn’t there, and also the shower wasn’t as clean as I would like. Otherwise the breakfast was superb and the view was amazing.

Great Ocean Views and Breakfast too!

We had a lovely stay at Hilo Hale Kai Suites. The view from the rooms is unbeatable. You can relax on the porch and watch the surfers do their thing. Daily breakfast provided was also a huge bonus as we often found ourselves starting with early morning - one less this to worry about. We used is as a base for our days to Volcanoes National Park and it was a great place to come back to after a long day. Would recommend and stay again.

Loved the views and very flowerful setting, very quiet. Minor suggestion re provided breakfast: fruit and special lactose-free milk was great but a little surprised that there was no bread for toast (though there was a toaster) or a bagel or English Muffin or something.

Close to Hilo with beautiful views right out the patio. We sat and had the provided breakfast while drinking morning coffee and watched surfers from the patio. Ocean waves and breeze were nice to fall asleep to. 6/5 stars!

Seaside sunsets and surfers!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Clean and simple, this seaside b and b is in a quiet neighborhood, patios face the sunset, gardens and rooms are well maintained and the other guests were considerate and quiet. We were too busy enjoying waterfalls and hikes and botanical gardens to spend time by the lovely pool but enjoyed watching the surfers at the local beach next door from our patio. Fresh fruit and eggs for breakfast were a lovely touch.
