Amazing Ocean View and Close to the BEST beaches

Awesome sunsets, ocean breezes, and quiet starry nights await you at this very clean and cozy 1 bedroom home situated 400 feet up on two and a half acres in the rolling hills of the Kohala Coast. From here you are only minutes away from the finest beaches (such as Hapuna), water activites (such as sailing, fishing, whale watching, great snorkeling and diving), dining and golfing the Big Island has to offer.

Hale O Pueo is well built, light, airy, and located where the sun shines 350 days a year. This tranquil, end of the road property is lavishly landscaped with a variety of tropical flowering plants and trees. Comfortably furnished living room framed by night blooming jasmine and lush bamboo, opens out through sliding glass door onto the covered lanai. Luxuriate here in the serene setting and balmy ocean breezes as you swing in the hammock or nestle into the tropical furnishings.

Wake up in your queen sized bed to the morning sun glistening on the ocean below as you look out the large sliding door. Step out onto the covered lanai to take in the expansive, unobstructed views of the rolling hills, ocean, coastline and nearby Hualalai Volcano as you plan your day in paradise.
BBQ on your lanai along with gas burners, new appliances and everything necessary for your dining needs. Includes breakfast bar and beautiful bamboo set.
Tiled bathroom with large vanity opens up to your exotic private outdoor shower, surrounded by red lava rock walls and tropical plants.

Check in 3PM; Check Out 11AM (sometimes flexible)

Kalia's place is so quiet and serene, the views are stunning. Very clean and comfortable. Kalia was available whenever we had a question before and during our stay. The space is well stocked and there are grocery stores nearby. Beaches in the area were gorgeous and we found a lot of hikes within 20-40 minutes of the house. We had a mockingbird sing to us nightly as it perched a top the cactus out front. The area in which the VRBO is located is beyond perfect for a peaceful, island getaway. We could not have asked for anything more.

A little slice of heaven on earth

This little gem is incredible . The views from the lanai are amazing and the owner has meticulously landscaped the grounds with the most beautiful plants and flowers . It’s truly an oasis away fromThe hustle and bustle of the city . If I could give this place 10 stars , I would. The owner was the most perfect host of all the places we’ve ever stayed. She was very responsive anytime we had a question or were looking for advice on things to see and do. Her hospitality was over the top !!! She is simply one of the best ! Book this one! You won’t regret it !

Perfect stay for our 35th Anniversary!

We stayed for 8 days here and I don’t think any amount of time would ever be enough.When we arrived and walked up on the lanai and felt the tropical breeze coming off the ocean, it was so calming and peaceful! Note that the place does not have A/C—- it does not need it with the cool breezes and the ceiling fans! Kalia was an excellent host and provided detailed directions prior to our stay on getting to the property. Even though she is an onsite host, we felt complete privacy during our stay. After spending most mornings at the beach (the place really IS close to all the best beaches- owner has provided a listing of them in the guidebook), we would come back for lunch on the lanai. Although we had planned on venturing back out for the afternoons and evening, often we just stayed there and enjoyed the beautiful surroundings and view. Owner provided everything possibly needed during our stay… and the bed was extremely comfortable! We also LOVED the outdoor shower. Hoping someday we can return to this beautiful paradise!

Beautiful hale & location

This home is very clean, beautifully decorated and very well equipped. It has everything you’ll need for your stay on the Kohala Coast. The lanai has splendid views up and down the coast & incredible sunsets views. Lots of whale watching, too. It’s close to many beaches, historical sites & good day trips such as up to Hawi & the Pololu Valley Lookout. Kalia is a gracious & helpful host. We highly recommend staying here—5 star all the way!

Everything you need for a relaxing and perfect time away. Kalia was so nice and helpful. Always responsive but never intrusive. We explored the Big Island during the day but back in time for beautiful sunsets. Could not have been happier with our stay. Mahalo, Kalia, for sharing this piece of paradise.

Wonderful place to stay

This little house is tucked away in the most amazing location away from the hustle and bustle of daily living! Everything was wonderful! The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook a few meals, bed was comfortable, lovely outdoor shower, and plenty of privacy. Breakfast on the patio every morning was a real treat! The geckos visited every morning to see what we were eating, so much fun to watch them! Looking up at the stars at night was just amazing. Loved the quiet (note the birds sing from sunrise to sunset), so we knew it was time to rise and shine when the birds awoke. Kalia was a perfect host! Answered questions quickly and helped us if we needed something. Great place to get away and the views are amazing! We were able to see the whales one day when they are active in the water with the binoculars that were provided. Overall great experience, thanks so much for sharing your little piece of paradise!

Rejuvenating and relaxing. Perfect. We never got out of our lounge clothes because we couldn't bear to leave our oasis. The flowers, the birds, the curious sweet little gechos. The kitchen was well equipped. The lanai was so comfortable--even a hammock for naps. Lovely outdoor shower and the bed was so comfortable. Wifi was excellent, if you need it and tv offered sufficient options if you felt you needed that. Overall, so peaceful and just superb.

Kalia’s property was an absolute dream. My fiancé and I spent a week at the property and loved it. From enjoying coffee on the lanai in the morning breeze to dinner outside watching the sunset. BEAUTIFUL! We loved all of the flowers and gardens surrounding us and admired the birds singing in the morning. Kalia was so kind and helpful. She was quick to respond to questions and available.

Heaven on The Big Island

This is our second stay at Hale O Pueo and it won't be our last as long as Kalia will have us. We've found over the years that we value above all things a house that offers privacy and an ability to get away from the hustle and bustle. Hale O Pueo offers both. Kalia has created an oasis on the North Kohala coast where you wake to bird song every morning and other than the occasional gecko or rain on the roof there is nothing but quiet at night. No noisy neighbors, no cars, nothing but beautiful peace and quiet. Kalia may reside in the attached hale, but rarely do you see her and you definitely don't hear her. But, she's around and ready to point you in the direction of a great beach or snorkeling spot. We always enjoy visiting with her and are thankful to have such a gracious and kind host next door. The sunset from the lanai is so beautiful that my husband's only requirement while staying at Hale O Pueo is that we're back at the house by sunset so that we can watch it from the lanai with a gin and tonic in hand. (The lime tree gets a lot of use from us while we're there as he enjoys the limes for his gin and tonics and I enjoy the limes for my water.) And then there's the gorgeous outdoor shower which in my eyes may be one of the most luxurious experiences someone from Montana can hope for. The location is perfect as it's fairly close to Hawi, (which we frequently head up to in the mornings for our coffee) close to Kawaihae Junction (shave ice at Anuenue) and the beaches on the Kohala coast. Hale O Pueo is one of our two favorite VRBOs on the island and I'm already looking forward to going back. Thank you Kalia for yet another beautiful stay. I had tears in my eyes as we were driving away because it's such a beautiful and peaceful place to call home for any length of time.
