Aloha and welcome to our Hawaiian Celebration. Hale Laule'a at Opihi Point is a 5-acre private, multi-million dollar estate retreat estate completed March 2019 consisting of two stand alone apartments and two Bed and Breakfast Suites off the main house. All 4 short term rental spaces are luxurious that are separate, each having their own exterior entrances sitting on 5 acres oceanfront in a beautiful jungle on the Hamaku'a Coast. Hale Laule'a translates to "House of Peace" and our intention is for you to come here to rest, relax, and enjoy the most beautiful part of Hawaii, the Hamaku'a Coast. We have several inhouse programs that are optional to help you experience your own Hawaiian Celebration or Ho'olaule'a. We also host boutique celebrations or events on property up to 50 guests.

Designed to be net-zero estate, Hale Laule'a is made of recycled and sustainable materials, makes its own electricity and water, and is working to grow most of its own food on site. The property includes a micro orchard; a small animal area; multi-use areas; horse areas with multiple riding arenas and multiple, private gardens including the spectacular lower garden surrounded 270 degrees by the ocean.

The space for rent is a one-bedroom apartment located in the carriage house on the property. This space has a private bedroom with a queen size bed, a luxurious bathroom with bidet and rain shower, a full kitchen with range, oven, microwave, and refrigerator, a living room with pull out couch and desk, and an outdoor lanai with custom table and benches for meals and enjoyment of the ocean. A laundry facility is located onsite and available to guest through a concierge service. Guests do have full use of the main house pool and back lanai facility, and all garden spaces.

While staying at the Carriage House Apartment, a typical day would start by drinking a cup of coffee or tea watching the most beautiful sunrise on the Pacific Ocean from your bed, the lower garden, or pool deck of Hale Laule'a. After coffee, go on a 2 mile round trip walk to Hakalau Beach Park taking in views of Mauna Kea, waterfalls and lush tropical plants. When you arrive to the beach, it will most likely be all yours as you explore the ruins of an old sugar plantation and look in amazement of the natural beauty of Hawaii. Once back, you can jump into the pool for a refreshing swim in the 25-meter lap lane or play a game of volleyball in the sports area of the pool. When done, settle into the lower garden on Hale Laule'a with a good book or do Yoga or meditation session in any of our four gardens. After lunch, walk the gardens, visit the farmers market, or arrange for an optional inhouse experience. During the winter months, watch the whales frolic right off the property. At night, enjoy the back lanai of the main house by the fireplace, or get into the spa and watch the stars unfold. For privacy, head to the lower garden and sit by yourself surrounded by the ocean on three sides with waves crashing on the rocks below as you drift away to another world in one of the most beautiful spots on this earth. Anything you want is possible and arrangements can be made with the host.

Additional activity arrangements for guests can be made by host to include Horse Experience, a Land Experience or a Water Experience. You can also make a private appointment for Lifestyle Medicine consultation with Dr. Jennifer Walker. For special occasions, guests can arrange for private parties such as weddings or other intimate events.

There are many animals on the property such as horses, dogs, ducks, and a tortoise. All animals are friendly and are in specific areas. They will not bother guests, though you can arrange to spend time with them. For more information about what is possible, contact the host.

Oceanfront Paradise

From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by Jennifer, who took the time to walk us through the property, and go over the ins and outs of visiting their oceanside paradise. We immediately felt right at home.The carriage house was beautifully appointed, blending comfort and style perfectly. The living area/kitchen opened up to a patio that had views of the ocean, creating the ideal spot for morning coffee. The property’s location was perfect—within walking distance to Hakalau Beach and a short drive to Akaka Falls State Park. Jennifer and Chad were outstanding hosts. Not only were we greeted upon arrival but they also shared great local tips on nearby restaurants and activities. Their warm hospitality made us feel welcomed and secure, and were always just a text away if we needed anything during our stay.Overall, this vacation rental exceeded our expectations in every way. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable retreat.

A "Bucket List" stay

At check out my wife and I never felt so relaxed or free of life's stressors. Chad's intro was excellent and so informative. Both he and Jennifer want you to have an excellent stay and truly roll out the red carpet. The grounds as mentioned by previous guests, has gardens and views that are just spectacular. The location was secure and serene. Everything you would want to see on the Big Island is easy driving distance. Chad and Jennifer are so knowledgeable and made great suggestions for us. We had the BEST food, so much better in quality, quantity and pricing than the "other" side, lots of restaurant choices. This was our 5th trip to the island, we stayed week 1,North of Kona and week 2 here. Lots of consignment, thrift stores, Macy's, Walmart, Ross, TJ Maxx, Farmer's markets, Fair's, vintage items and shopping in general. Don't miss the Zoo, that was free and really fun. Many hiking trails and museums. A must stop is the Lyman Museum. There is even a lunch bag with built in ice packs in the freezer! Did I mention chocolates at check in? We have been to all the islands and thought this would be our last trip to the Big Island. We were wrong... this is now our "go to" Hawaii destination.
