Spacious, Super Views, Sunsets Galore! - 30 DAY MIN ~ Hale Kohola

There is a 30 Day Minimum Rental is Required for this property. Hale Kohola, “The House of the Whale” is situated on 3 acres in an ideal location on the Kohala Coast, with panoramic views of the ocean and coastline. The master bedroom has a stunning ocean view that you can enjoy by just lifting your head off the pillow. If you are looking for a clean, quiet, spacious place to relax with friends or family, or a home base for day trips or ocean activities at nearby Kawaihae and area beaches, this is the one. 

Furthermore, the home is now solar powered and includes an A/C unit in the living room.
This 3 bedroom / 3 bath home sleeps six, including the “ohana” studio with futon sofa-bed, which is connected by walkway to the main house (perfect for a family member who craves their own space). The open floor plan allows privacy for the bedrooms, which are separated by the living areas. 

The well-equipped kitchen is well planned for socializing and looking at the ocean while you prepare meals.  Enjoy your morning coffee or watch the sun go down from the wrap-around lanai. The elusive “green flash” at sunset has been seen countless times from here. The dark night sky is incredible for gazing at the stars and planets. The quiet neighborhood is a perfect place for a morning jog or walk. There’s even a ukulele to play. 

Hale Kohola is a rare find for privacy, beauty, natural quiet and Island Living. Guests are welcome to pick limes, tangerines or bananas on the property, (in season) and enjoy the fragrant plumeria and Tahitian gardenias. The landscaping focuses on species native to Hawaii, including a few endangered species.

During humpback whale season (November thru April) the spouts and breaches of these massive animals are visible from the house.  The owners make their home in a small town in Alaska, spending part of the winter on the Big Island enjoying the local foods, culture and ocean and doing whale and dolphin research with the non-profit Hawai'i Marine Mammal Consortium.

Fully equipped; comfortable and clean, you will find Hale Kohola to be the perfect retreat for your dream vacation in Hawaii.

Lovely spot!

A light and breezy home in a quiet area with gorgeous views over the ocean and easy access to great beaches and both Waimea and Hawi. We had a great time waking up to views of the ocean from bed each morning and watching sunset from the lanai each evening. The house had everything we needed, including extra water bottles to borrow and reclining chairs that were perfect for star gazing. (The stars are amazing!) It was just a great, great place to come home to at the end of the day. The house could use a few more teaspoons. :-) (There were only two.) But this is a very minor thing that affected us not at all. (There were lots of soup spoons.) A lovely spot!

Nice property — but it is a 2 bed/2 bath

We really enjoyed our stay. As two parents with a newborn, we had plenty of space and a beautiful view. Kohala is truly the best part of the island. The main house is very nice. The kitchen is well stocked and the rooms and bathrooms are great. I am giving it five stars because it worked for us. However, I agree with other reviewers that it is very misleading to say this sleeps six. It is a two bed, two bath house. The garage has a tiny room with the washer/dryer, a bathroom, and a futon. No one would want to sleep there. If I came expecting three rooms to sleep six, I would have been let down by the third room.

The view the view the view.....amazing

This is a lovely house. We lived on the lanai with a panoramic view . The kitchen is well appointed and a great place to cook. This area of Kohala is rather remote. We were here for a wedding in Hawi. We were near Hapuna beach rated one of the top beaches in the world. There was also Waialea Beach which is unknown except by locals and it is really great for snorkeling. The house has a lot of beach equipment. Which made going to the beach a pleasure. The little towns of Hawi and Kapaau up the mountain is like you have stepped back in time. The master bedroom has the view of sunrise and sunset quite a way to wake in the morning. Be aware that there is no A/C. This normally isn't a problem up here as there are trade winds but August did get a little hot in the house cooking. We would go out to the lanai and the cool breeze cooled us down. I must also highly recommend Flumin da ditch this is an experience that I have not seen any where in the world. A true once in a lifetime experience. This was a great vacation and we made some wonderful memories.

Nice

Hale Kohala is a quiet, clean and spacious house with a splendid view to the ocean. We enjoyed our stay. You need a car because there is nothing around this place. The next bigger grocery you find around 13 miles away. Therefore it is place for people who like to relax.

Nice Place with Some Issues

Bright and open home, quiet and with good, long-distance views of the ocean and coastline, nice lanai and great sunsets. The fresh limes and tangerines on the surrounding trees were tasty. Good location - short drive to the local town and beaches. A couple of issues, however: advertised (and priced) as a 3 bedroom home but the third bedroom, described as "the Ohana studio" is actually a walled-off laundry room (with a futon in it), located in the garage - it's tiny and complete with unpleasant smells and atmosphere from the concrete floor and the car parked in there. The house was well stocked but overall not very clean. The three acre property is completely overgrown, there is no play area for young kids except for the small gravel areas on either side of the house, and the only walking is on the steep, hilly road around the property, not really suitable for seniors. Overall a nice place in a good location, most suitable for 4 adults, but be aware that the upbeat descriptions of some of the details on the website are a bit misleading.

Perfect stay

Besides being a beautiful house in a great location, it was thoughtfully and generously equipped beyond the necessities, from saran wrap to children's books and snorkeling equipment. There is a wonderful view to the ocean from the bedroom when waking up and the outdoor table makes for relaxing and scenic meals. The quiet during the night and the clarity of the stars is unique. Highly recommend to those looking for a quiet and beautiful place.
