A Great Family Destination

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: Our stay in Hale Wailani was very nice. We loved the pool and the easy access to one of the best swimming coves on Hawaii. The snorkeling was very good too. Good for multi-generational groups. The house was equipped with just about anything you could want and Mary was great support. Please be aware that the kitchen and living rooms are not air conditioned and can get hot in the afternoon. The heated pool was a lovely way to cool off. We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood, especially the dark skies at night. We saw many shooting stars in August.

Absolutely Stunning!

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: My family and I (party of 7 adults) stayed at Hale Wailani for a total of 8 nights in June 2023. We could not have been happier with this amazing rental! It was just perfect for us. The home itself is incredibly well appointed with everything you could think of, including the sweetest welcome basket with local products (Kona coffee of course) and some lovely papayas. It was so thoughtful and had a great little note to greet us and start our stay. The beds were super comfortable, linens and all the surfaces sparkling clean, the kitchen had all the essentials and more including a Brita filter for daily hydration, filling all our Hydros and taking care of the earth with way less plastic. Loved that! There was ice and extra's throughout the entire home. The backyard....seriously....the pool and patio area...dreamy. Coffee in the morning...staring at the ocean! I can't wait to go back! And the walk to the beach! So quick and such a great little path. The beach had a fantastic view of the sunset every night and the snorkeling during the day was some of our best memories and favorite snorkeling of all time. We were able to see 4 different octopus! Unbelievable. Communicating with Mary was lovely, every conversation from her checking on us to make sure everything was as it should be to answering any of our questions. Mary is a gem and I would work with her anytime. Over-all, I would highly recommend and encourage anyone to rent this amazing place.

Perfect vacation house

Our family of 10 enjoyed a week at Puako and were so sad to leave. The house had everything we needed, as well as a pool that the kids loved and a small beach with great snorkeling. Larger beaches were within a short driving distance. The house is comfortable but not fussy and Mary the property manager was so great with communication. We hope to be back!

A very comfortable house nicely organized with all the amenities we could need. There was even a special play area for kids. We played every day in the pool and walked the short distance to the special beach. Great communication and support from Mary!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Hale Wailani is a wonderful vacation home for our family. It provided everything we need (besides food) and made us feel like at home. The house is very spacious, no matter inside or outside, downstairs or upstairs. Very short walk to the beach and enjoy the water without a big crowd. Mary, the manager, was very attentive and made sure we had everything we need. Check-in and check-out was a breeze. We will definitely come back again.

Love the water!

We had 10 people staying here, ranging in age from 2 to 74, and it was great....plenty of room. If you love to swim and/or snorkel, this property will fill the bill. We had lots of fun in the pool as a family, especially with our night swims before bed. The beach we walked to is only a 3 or 4 minute walk, has shade, turtles, and great snorkeling. This beach is not good for boogie boarding due to the rocks (the rocks help with the snorkeling, though), however there is a good boogie boarding beach just a few minutes away in the car. The manager was very responsive and pleasant to deal with. I highly recommend this house.

Exceeded Expectations

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: We rent a house in HI each summer as a family Christmas gift. Hale Wailani was a stretch for our budget but was worth the money. The house is clean, expertly maintained, spacious, and well equipped. The pool was enjoyed daily by every member of our party. A minor incident with the a/c in one of the bedrooms was remedied quickly by the professional and friendly property manager.

About the host

Hosted by Mary and the Staff of 2Papaya Vacation Rentals

Host profile image
We live full time in Northern California, and began to visit the Big Island in 2015. It's an easy flight from SFO and it's a spot our kids love to come to.


Why they chose this property

We were drawn to this property for its quiet location just steps from the beach. We had rented houses nearby and loved being able to walk back and forth to the beach as need be. It is so relaxing not to have to get into the car very often.

What makes this property unique

It has an easy, relatively sandy entry into the water. The snorkeling and paddle boarding is great when it's calm; my kids tell me the surfing is great when it's not. Sitting on the beach with a cup or coffee in the morning or a drink at sunset is magical.
