Great place to stay and unwind. Our host was awesome.
Fantastic location, great views, privacy, clean, practical outdoor shower as well as full bath, hosts Linda and Marty gracious and responsive. Easy access to swimming, snorkeling, hiking. Hawi appealing small town, local fresh produce market, healthy food available. Unspoiled Hawaii.
Remote and quiet. A great location for exploring the northwest part of the Big Island.
We stayed 2 nights, and it was extremely peaceful. The main thing to do at the Whale Crossing is to enjoy nature, the birds, the view of the ocean, the quiet and calm. We went into Hawi and hiked one day, then brought dinner home each night from a restaurant in town to enjoy on the little deck. This place is definitely not fancy at all, but the view and serenity are unlike any you will find in Kona.
We had a peaceful stay in the tiki hut. We could eat breakfast on the patio and watch whales. The sky was full of stars at night and we could leave the patio slider open for airflow all night. This is a great place we'd recommend for a couple wanting a country retreat.
A Whales Crossing was a fun stay in a unique area with sweeping views and stunning sunsets. Linda was a great host and has a well appointed unit.
This was our second stay at the Whale Crossing! Our stays were a few years apart. It was as beautiful as we remembered. We were treated to the wonders of the whales breaching time and time again. Its like being on your own island on the island! If you want total relaxation and seclusion, this is your calling card. Linda and Marty are simply the best hosts. We can't thank them enough for our adventures there. This is a must vacation cottage.
Find a quiet part of the island with a view of the ocean, a lovingly created property, nothing too fancy, just quiet and perfect.
First off, this isn’t your classic vacation rental. It is the cutest tiki hut with a separate bathroom building. No AC but not it’s not really necessary with the ocean breeze , ceiling fan and screens all the way around. Beautiful decorated. Owner even provided robes and sleep masks! We loved waking up to the ocean view visible right from the bed. Would stay here again in a heartbeat! Owners dogs were a bonus! They were friendly but not intrusive.
We booked 3 nights here to begin a 3 week vacation in the islands. It was great and we wish we had booked the whole first week here. Sleeping to the nature sounds, deep quiet too and then waking to the expansive view! We were able to exhale from our great but very active lives- to reset. Will come back just for the outdoor shower alone and stars alone. All the reviews are true - oh and thanks for the binoculars too.
