Great relaxing getaway from the crowds on Ali’i Drive.

Gorgeous property with amazing view, amenities, and pool. Host was responsive and helpful. There were a lot of rules for proper check in/out and cleaning that took away from the "peace" of the vacation at times, but that just comes from staying at someone's home rather than a hotel. Lots of lizards! Would stay again.

My family couldn’t have been happier with our stay. The stunning sunset views every night were worth the trip alone. Nice quiet neighborhood with plenty of privacy. Comfortable layout with plenty of amenities. Would definitely stay here again!

Lovely location! Stunning view! Coffee on the pool deck in the morning and the sunsets were incredible! Plumbing in general needs to be updated. Water pressure in toilets and very little hot water for showers.

We had a wonderful time !!!!!!
Some reviews mentioned bugs...we saw none. A few geckos, but you are in a tropical paradise.
Screen door from great room to patio needs to be fixed and maybe a few updates but we loved the layout of the house. The patio and pool are great. Such a beautiful view. A great place for coffee in the morning and cooling off in the evenings.
The neighborhood is quiet and secure. Would definitely rent this home again.

We had such a great time here during our stay. We were in town to visit my family who lived on island as well as celebrate our kids graduation from Highschool. The listing and pictures were accurate and I felt pleased with everything. The views are amazing. Carmelo, the home manager, was super responsive and really great about taking care of any questions I had or anything that came up I needed. I would recommend the home to anyone and I would definitely come back.

Loved our stay here and the house was impeccably clean with everything we needed. Our only complaint is that the home is showing signs of neglect with a lot of the furnishings being quite dated and a few lamps broken. Nothing horrible, but it could use a revision.

Our family of 6 enjoyed the property and pool. The views were amazing. The sounds of frogs lulls you to sleep at night which was super cool. The ants around the pool, giant spiders and lizards in the home were a downfall but expected with all the lush greenery. The grill didn’t work so we had to change plans to indoor cooking. The jetted tub did not work either. The master shower needs time to heat up but did work after about 7 minutes of letting it run initially. Overall the property was nice and well equipped. I made sure to wash all the towels to avoid excess fees which was strange on vacation when you pay a cleaning fee. The host assistant Terri was very easy to communicate with and quick to respond. Great location to everything Kona! Spectacular sunsets!

This home has stunning views and all you need for a relaxing vacation. The sound of birds and views was a peaceful morning experience. We had an excellent time in this home and would definitely stay here again. The location is also very convenient to great locations on the island. In addition being in a gated community provides piece of mind. Love this property - thank you for sharing this paradise with mainlanders!

Hale Kopela is an excellent place for your big island vacation. My wife and I spent a week there with our 4 kids (14-8) and her parents. The pool pictures probably don’t do the back deck justice. The kids came home and jumped in the pool every night, even when we had just come from the beach. This allowed the adults to enjoy happy hour while watching the sunset over the ocean in front of us. The house is well appointed, including snorkel gear and boogie boards. The game room was a blast for the kids. Some people in previous notes complained about the heat in that room. We were there in late July and did not purchase AC and it was fine. There are oscillating fans that allowed 2 of the boys to sleep quite comfortably in that room.
There is just one thing you need to know:
There will be bugs. I almost didn’t rent this property because of some of the previous comments about bugs but I’m glad we did. Nevertheless you need to know that there will be bugs. The house manual says they spray monthly. Maybe bi-monthly would help but probably not too much. This is just a by-product of being surrounded by what amounts to a jungle. If you aren’t ok with this, the resorts are the place for you, but if you can handle the occasional bug this place is amazing!
