Kai Honu Hale – Oceanfront Bliss on Hawaii’s East Side
Where Sea Turtles Glide by Your Window and the Pacific Fills Your Soul

Welcome to Kai Honu Hale, the Ocean Turtle House — your unforgettable escape on the magical east side of the Big Island. Newly renovated in June 2025, perched right at the ocean’s edge, this three-level gem offers a rare “floating on water” experience that brings you closer to Hawaii’s natural beauty than you ever imagined.

From the moment you arrive, the sweeping 180-degree, unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean will take your breath away. Watch turtles drift by, dolphins play, and—during winter—the awe-inspiring sight of whales breaching just offshore. Every room in this beautifully designed 2-bedroom home with a spacious open-concept loft and 2 full bathrooms delivers front-row seats to the magic of the sea.

Wake up to stunning sunrises, sip coffee from your private lanai, and fall asleep to the soothing sounds of crashing waves. Our home is nestled in a quiet, walkable neighborhood — perfect for morning strolls or evening star-gazing. It’s just a 7-minute drive to the charming town of Pahoa with its eclectic shops and diverse dining, and only 45 minutes from the incredible Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

Inside, you’ll find a bright and airy living space with panoramic windows and daily turtle sightings right from your sofa. Enjoy a 37" flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi, a well-equipped kitchen, and an outdoor charcoal BBQ for sunset grilling (just bring your charcoal).

We’re locals, and we’re happy to help make your trip even more special with insider tips and recommendations. From must-see sights to hidden gems, we’re here for you. Located just 30–35 minutes from Hilo International Airport, Kai Honu Hale is both accessible and wonderfully secluded.

Check-in: 3:00 PM or later
Check-out: 10:00 AM (unless other arrangements are made)

This was an amazing space to stay in for our visit to the big island! The home was immaculately clean, had everything we needed to be comfortable (including a washer & dryer), and afforded incredible views of the ocean (just steps away). The location is convenient for those based around Hilo and the neighbohood is quiet & walkable. We appreciated Liz's responsive communication prior to arriving and the ease checking in & out. We would definitely see if this home is available for a return trip! Rich & Traci

This is my second time I wanted to show my granddaughter why her Nana is moving to Hawaii and this is one of the places she fell in love with her. I fell in love with the place has been renovated, so it’s very shiny and clean, but only takes secondsplace when it comes to the view always moving. Unpredictable and so much marine life this time we saw dolphins and turtles. The Dolphins were showing off. I’d like to share some of the pictures of this home and I must say the pictures do not do it justice! Mahalo
I feel like you’re sitting on top of the world!

Do your research

since I took the time to read the comments I was expecting things not to be perfect with this stay, had I not researched the property I may have been disappointed due to high hopes, with that said knowing everything with the house was not going to be perfect, I will say we had a great time. location and views are amazing the constant crashing of the waves got to be a little much by the end of the stay, but overall we had a great time.

30 days on the ocean

We stayed in this home for the full month of March 2025. We rated this a 10 based on our top three requirements: next to the ocean, clean, comfortable beds. This home met all three requirements. The ocean with its spectacular crashing waves, stunning views, and swimming turtles was wonderful. The sound of the waves at night along with the comfortable bed made for excellent sleeping. The home was clean and the two new area rugs were a nice update. However, as others have noted, this home would benefit from additional updates. For example, the couch is very uncomfortable. Our inquiries via email were answered promptly. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.
