Hale Alaula - Ocean View: Private Home Near Kona Town w/Spa, AC, Spacious Lanai

This home was extraordinary! The host allowed us to use snorkeling equipment, beach chairs & umbrellas. The kitchen supplies were all encompassing. Our trip was so much more enjoyable because of this rental. I’d rate this property higher if possible!

Nice location. The kitchen was well equipped. We enjoyed our stay.

We would definitely stay here again! We loved it!! The host and property managers were wonderful to work with. They were so understanding and responded right away to any questions or concerns. They gave clear instructions and information for how to check-in and what to do when checking out. The home was amazing!! It was so clean and beautiful, comfortable and well stocked with all the necessary needs. The rooms were all spotless and well furnished. The yard and property were gorgeous and well maintained. We loved having an ocean view, the sunsets were incredible!! It was such a relaxing and peaceful stay, so much better than going to a hotel or resort.

It was a clean, relaxing place with a great layout for me and my family to come home to after enjoying the sights.

Home is clean, has every item you could possibly need. Gated community means it is quiet, not chaotic. Home has beautiful views and is close to many restaurants, entertainment and the harbor (we are scuba divers).

This home was wonderful and true to the description. The communication couldn’t have been better and responses were very quick. We had an issue with the AC and it was resolved that day. We loved how spacious the home was allowing us to relax in the evening and watch movies together or talk about the day. The home is very well equipped. Not that we cooked, but I feel like we would have what we needed if we wanted to. We never made it to the hot tub as we were gone most of the day, but wish we had. The outdoor area was very nice and the outdoor shower helpful to rinse the sand off from the beach. The community was very peaceful. It wasn’t walking distance to key areas, but we weren’t looking for that. We would rent this home again for sure.

Had a great stay, wonderful house. Clean and exactly as advertised.

I can't say enough good things about this property. Everything was clean and comfortable, and the house is very well stocked. The outdoor space is beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

This was the best vrbo experience for me and my family. It felt like home. Thank you so much for the hospitality. We had everything we needed for the week. The location was amazing, Kona and the surrounding beaches were beautiful. We spent every evening eating dinner on the lanai. I wish we could come back every summer!!

Having stayed at other rental properties, they often feel like- well, rental properties. Hale Alaula is miles beyond anything we could've asked for! This felt more like staying at a family member's home. What we loved: The beds were very comfortable! Beach gear was available to us in the garage. The property was BEAUTIFUL! The plants were enough to keep us in awe for hours. The property management was incredibly accommodating and patient with my (many) questions. The community is peaceful and gated. The views were amazing from the lanai. The proximity to everything you'd want to do in the area is perfect! Communication was swift and clear, and everything we could hope for. The decor felt like home. So much so, that my little ones decided to "camp out" on the couch the entire stay. The hot tub was perfect after a day of hiking waterfalls! The outdoor shower was clutch after days at the beach. The drawers in the kitchen were stocked with little things we might need, like tape or scissors. Movies to watch and streaming services in downtime on the TVs. What we didn't like: Leaving was a bummer. I have honestly never stayed at a better property at any location. Genuine love and attention goes into this place and it shows. You feel the Aloha Spirit at Hale Alaula!! We will book all future trips to Hawaii around the availability of this property. Mahalo!

This is a wonderful house. Super clean, gorgeous views, so well equipped and very thoughtful touches from the owners.

Location was convenient to Kailua without the congestion and noise of the town. Very central to beaches, shops, and dinning. The house is very nicely equiped for any cooking situation. Water toys are available for use. The outdoor shower was handy for rinsing dive gear and just getting the sand off.

Lovely home. 100% safe. So close to town without being in town. The property manager was very nice and responsive. The view of the ocean was breathtaking.

We had a wonderful 10-day stay; this property is so well-appointed, you'll want for nothing! From beach gear down to laundry detergent, beds were made, it was spotless - they even provided beach bags, hats and robes to use during our stay! We lived in Kona for a few years and coming to this house was like coming home. Even the neighbors were lovely.
