It was a wonderful location and vacation. We wished it was available for another week. Enjoyed the privacy, security, wildlife, private pool and elegance.

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!

Firstly, the view is breath taking! This neighbourhood is beautifully cared for, safe, and just stunning! Jerry is a gracious host, very responsive and accommodating. While we had one or two small hiccups, they were remedied almost immediately. I hope our group makes this an annual trip and we can stay here every year!

The location, view and bones of the home were fantastic. We loved the pool, pool table and food ball table. Layout of house was nice for our group of 8. I want to make sure people’s expectations are realistic here. The owner is very particular about how to do everything at the home including what to do to avoid excess charges. I appreciated the clarity, but felt a little harsh. Also, there are new floor coverings in part of the house but many components were still dated. Just be aware. Overall we felt like it was a good value for what we received. Owner had lots of chairs, snorkel gear and an ice chest for use which was great.

We, a family of 4, stayed in this house for 3 weeks in August/September 22. We had some initial problems. Why? We were missing some household appliances in the kitchen etc. But in the end these are personal sensitivities. The property is beautiful. The kitchen, the living room and the outdoor area are really great! The house looks like it does in the pictures. The mattresses were great in all beds! And what I want to emphasize - WHEN WE HAD A QUESTION OR PROBLEM, SOMEONE WAS ALWAYS ANSWERED IMMEDIATELY. Usually then Roland, the caretaker. That was really remarkable!!!!! So our summary - we would come back at any time. This was our 7th stay on the Big Island and one of the nicest homes in this price range.
Thank you and continue to feel good in this beautiful spot on earth.

This was a great home for our family get together. The pool and views from the backyard was beautiful. The house was comfortable for all of the family.

What a great house! The photos in the listing are accurate. The view is wonderful and the house is nice and bright and very spacious. Yes the carpeting in the bedroom and game room need to be replaced, but the house was extremely clean and well maintained. We had several small issues come up while we were there and Terry responded immediately to get them taken care of. Communication before check-in was also good. They provided enough detergent/soaps for our 2 week stay. The neighborhood is an upscale gated, quiet, friendly community. We loved the unique layout of the house, but it does have multiple levels so just a heads up if you are traveling with someone who has limited mobility. We had 3 generations staying here and we all want to stay here again!
