Our stay was lovely! The room and location was great, easy access into town for dinner. The breakfast was simple but enough for us and was helpful to have already without stopping before the days activities. No AC was ok because we had rainy days but if it was hot and sunny it might have been too much for us.

This is a great location with a beautiful view, and convenient to town for restaurants and shopping. Our room was clean and inviting. The pool was a welcome feature. In fact, during our stay we canceled something we intended to do in favor of a relaxing afternoon at the pool. It’s also fun to watch all the surfers at the nearby beach from the house. The daily fruit and light breakfast items were a nice touch and greatly appreciated. One note -- the driveway is steep and getting out can be a challenge to negotiate for larger vehicles. We would definitely love to stay here again!

The property was in a beautiful spot on the Hamakua Coast - very close to Hilo and to Angel Farms. The room was clean, the breakfast fruit was fresh and perfect, the bed was very comfortable and everything was very easy. Loved the pool as well - the only thing missing was a jacuzzi!! :) Thanks for a great stay!

Perfect holiday retreat

Hale Kai is simple but has all the necessities for a comfortable stay. The views were beautiful from the lanai and the pool with ocean view was an added bonus. It is the perfect location to explore Hilo.

Love this place! Made our Hilo stay absolutely amazing!

We arrived late but the location is amazing, only about 5-10 mins drive to Hilo downtown but the best part is the ocean view in the morning when you have your breakfast. The included breakfast was really good (egg, yogurt, fresh fruit, pastry) and the location was quiet so you can fall asleep to the wave sounds.

Quiet, beautiful, home base to explore the Hilo area

My wife and I spent three nights in the Moana Room as we explored the Hilo area and it was perfect for our needs. The room was spacious and clean and boasts an amazing view overlooking Hilo Bay. We made use of the pool and hot tub and loved listening to the crashing waves below while drifting off to sleep.

Modest accommodation with outstanding views

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: The rooms themselves are very simple but incredibly clean and comfortable. The massive lanai that wraps around the building connecting each room was the highlight of our stay - we ate our meals out there watching the waves and the surfers nearby. The sunrises here are unreal - and being able to watch them from in the cozy king sized bed made them all the better. The breakfast was modest but delicious, and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. The property is quiet and very private. Absolutely would stay here again and again.

Great space next to the ocean

We had a nice stay at this space. The only cons were the hot tub didn't work, and our door wouldn't lock from the outside with the key provided, but the space was secluded and we felt very safe despite. We would certainly stay in this beautiful space again. Mahalo!
