beautiful sunsets and amazing setting for our family of 8 plus new grandbaby! walking thru the front doors you will be amazed and immediately at peace. couldn't have asked for a better start to our vacation!
The house was awesome. Great location. Has four separate bedroom areas connected to central courtyard. Could spend as much time as you want to together or can get away if needed.We spent a lot of our week just hanging out outside at the pool because the pictures are very accurate. Great indoor/outdoor living. Only thing missing was a cocktail waiter/waitress and who knows could probably be arranged.The owner was very responsive to any questions we had prior to visit and concierge person, Nathalie helped us book activities. Nathalie also responded extremely quickly to any questions we had about how to use a hot tub or little details about the house.Hope to be able to go back soon.
The setting is perfect and the property is truly beautiful. Host/Owner was very gracious, outfitting the property with everything the family needed for the beach, Yoga and relaxing in the sun. Household staff were available quickly to help with uncertainties about how to operate some appliances. The layout is pure Hawaii, with four separate sleeping quarters, a beautiful and functional open air common area and natural wood embellishments.
This house was absolutely incredible! Everything I would imagine in a true Hawaiian house - it was perfect and fit our every need. It was so hard to leave this bit of paradise!
This property is even more wonderful than photos. The host was delightful and even provided us fruit from her gardens. From the pool deck, we could see whales almost everyday. This is a great place to stay.
This house was perfect for our family of 2 parents and 3 adult children and a spouse. The separate sleeping were great. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. It even had spices to use. So you could truly relax and enjoy your time in this beautiful place.
This was our second stay at this gorgeous property and we will definitely be back again - it truly reflects the Aloha spirit in every way. The energy and beauty of every facet of this home is beyond compare: location, views, privacy, nature, luxury accommodations and amenities, well stocked, comfortable beds, exquisite and thoughtful architecture, wonderful pool and spa, excellent for whale and dolphin watching, amazing sunsets and star gazing. The owner and property manager are very responsive and are immediately available for any questions or support. We could not recommend Hale Ohia and Yarden's exquisite sanctuary and home more highly.
The property is beautiful. It is easily the best VRBO I have EVER stayed in. The location is super convenient to beaches, shopping and the airport, but it is such a special property you might never want to leave it. You’ll enjoy falling asleep to the sound of the ocean, enjoy panoramic views and tide pools at the surf’s edge. Property Manager was responsive, and accommodating during our stay.
Bottom line is that…. This property easily surpassed our expectations! If you get an opportunity to stay here you SHOULD!
The property is even better in person than the photos. The energy, beauty and vibes are so incredible. We can't wait to visit again.
It was difficult to pull myself away from the property to see the sites of the island! The view is sublime, the shore line is magical, the pool is perfect, the house is tranquil and allows you to feel as though you’re living in nature.

If you are going to the big island to relax, this is the place!

Our family had a wonderful holiday at this beautiful property. The home is beautiful with lots of space and a unique design with great use of local wood and materials. It feels very warm and welcoming. Each of the bedrooms have their own ensuite bathrooms with showers/tubs. The main bedroom and bath were enormous.
The view is amazing and the pool was great for cooling off from the heat. The kitchen was very well stocked with plenty of dishes and cookware. We really made good use of the rice cooker! We also appreciated all the extras that were provided (salt, pepper, sugar, oil, spices) Thank you so much for the arrival goodie basket!
We especially appreciated the location being so close to one of the checkpoints for the Ironman race. We were able to just walk to the road and cheer on the competitors and then go back home to cool off in the pool!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. Our family enjoyed our stay.

One of the most beautiful properties we’ve stayed in. The house is located right in front of the ocean and has a pool that goes with the view. The kitchen is well stocked if you plan on staying in for dinner. Both manager and owners are very welcoming and easy to communicate with. Would love to visit again!

We loved our stay at Yarden’s wonderful house. Not only the the view, the swimming pool but also the house set-up which makes us feel so truly on vacation. Yarden has been extremely responsive and very accommodating. Thanks a bunch for the beautiful fruit and local goodies basket offered at our arrival. 100% recommended !

What a way to end our travel through the Hawaiian islands with our family! The house is so peaceful and unique with the most amazing ocean and sunset views. It had everything we needed and more.
I would highly recommend this property. Yarden and Shellese were very easy to work with and extremely helpful.

Absolutely beautiful home with amazing views. Comfortable and with everything we needed. Convenient to restaurants, snorkeling, grocery store, etc.

We came to the Big Island to celebrate our daughter’s last softball college softball game. The last few days we decided to stay on Kona side. When we walked into the house it was so breathtaking that I actually cried! The pictures do not do it justice. Yarden and Shellese were amazing communicators. Thank you for sharing this amazing home!
This house is gorgeous and the perfect gathering place. It exceeded all expectations—and it was a high bar!
Everything was beautiful and clean. The property is beyond gorgeous, very close to the water with only a windbreak of trees in front of you. Everything was a plus. Only a few caveats: The pool is very cold (in Feb.) and there is no hot tub, even though it looks like there is. First day there were about 4 different workers on or near the property, so it was not at all relaxing. Seems like there should be a discount if there are multiple workers blowing leaves, cutting trees, and mowing the lawn while you are on your vacation as the owner is using your time to do their maintenance. But it only happened one day during our 10-day stay. Everything else was fantastic. Magic Beach cafe is only a 15-min walk south, but you need to make a reservation and they can be flaky, canceling our reservation at the last minute because something happened in the kitchen (probably Covid as they never specified; these are tough times). There is a take-away window open 8-3 which is very useful. Magic Beach is beautiful, but if the waves are too big, the lifeguards prevent you from swimming (understandably). This house is an oasis to which one feels happy to return. It appears to sleep 8, but must only have a permit for 6 as that is how many it sleeps. However the extra bedroom did facilitate a clean room for new guests. The master suite is fantastic. The shower is unbelievable: green, veined rock on three sides, and it is so big it does not require a door. Hot water was in short supply. Two showers or a shower and a load of wash and you’d have to wait for more hot water. The house is 15 minutes from Gertrude’s Jazz Bar, which I highly recommend. We saw Johnny Ness on vocals and guitar with the amazing Michaeloha playing trumpet. House pluses: two refrigerators, three boogie boards, fins, snorkels, booties, crushed ice from the inside fridge, drinking water faucet, HUGE master bedroom—know that the master bedroom closet connects to the laundry room. LOCK THIS DOOR if you don’t want people coming into your closet. (It was unlocked when we came. It is also a good second way to enter if someone is having a video conference in the bedroom and you need to use the bathroom.) There is a guest toilet just north of the laundry room. The TV worked great. Every guest room has a TV and air conditioning and a nice bathroom. We would definitely come again. Hoping for a jacuzzi! Rumor has it that a house is coming next door north. Don’t know timing. Manager communication was great.
We LOVED our stay. The open concept of the property with the wind and breaking waves was worth every penny. Our son is in a wheelchair, and the house was fully accessible; this accessibility made our trip even more enjoyable. We would love to return! Thanks for allowing us to have outstanding memories on our family get away!
Hale Ohio exceeded our expectations. the views are unmatched. The house is wonderful. It was a perfect week. The photos don’t do the house justice!
