Welcome to Hale Kailani, the 'Sea and Sky House'. Enjoy breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, amazing sunrises, occasional lightning storms, year round turtle and spinner dolphins and seasonal humpback whales right off the back lanai. Located just south of Hilo on the eastside of the Island of Hawaii (Big Island). Situated on a 1/2 acre lot in the rural subdivision of Hawaiian Paradise Park, this cozy and clean oceanfront home feels secluded but is within close proximity to shopping, dining and other 'must do' activities. This house features 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom on the main level, a large loft with a bathroom upstairs and a good sized lanai looking out at the ocean with an outdoor dining set, BBQ and additional seating. Newly purchased and undergoing phased renovations....

We stayed at Hale Kailani for a month from Feb to Mar, 2024. This was the second time we stayed here (previously for a month in Jan, 2022) and it did not disappoint. Tina and David are the ultimate VRBO hosts – always available and responded immediately to any questions we had. The house was extremely well appointed and clean when we arrived. The views from the cliff side lanai are amazing and we saw too many whales and turtles to count while enjoying a coffee during the sunrise, or a Mai Tai during the afternoons. The area is quiet and has lots of great areas to walk and is relatively close to Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park and the town of Hilo. We did a fair amount of cooking and found most everything we needed easily at hand… our home away from home. For close by food to takeout, we really enjoyed the Huli Huli chicken at the roadside stand near Paradise Drive and Keaau-Pahoa Road. In the nearby WH Shipman Business Park, you will find the Ma’ona Lunch Counter and the Wailuku Brew Works - not much in the way of ambience, but the food and beer can’t be beat! Thank you Tina and David for allowing us to stay at your Hale Kailani again – if we get back to the Big Island, we will not hesitate to stay with you again. Mahalo!

Our stay was just wonderful. The home itself was welcoming and perfectly appointed with everything we needed during our visit. The views from the loft and living/ dining room were so breathtaking. I didn’t notice the large tv in the living room for the first 3 days, the view was that eye-catching. Plenty of space to accommodate our family and friend. We would recommend staying at this home to anyone looking for a relaxed paradise. The neighborhood was nice and easy to navigate, good for a morning walk. We all hope to stay again. Mahalo to our hosts, Tina and David. They were quick to respond to any questions and provided great local recommendations.

This property was stunning! It had incredible views, was very clean, and the property owners thought of everything we could need. We had plenty of room for our family of 6. We were all comfortable and truly enjoyed both the indoor and outdoor spaces. We even saw a whale right off the back patio on our last day! Incredible! We would definitely stay here again and hope to in the future!

Awesome private place. Neighborhood quiet and pretty. Hearing and seeing the surf all the time was amazing. My kids LOVED it and we would stay here again if visiting Hilo area. The "no AC" was NOT an issue. Ocean breeze was "natural AC". Kind of a drive to Hilo and Volcanoes National Park but not difficult and worth the view and seclusion.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would gladly do it again. Views were gorgeous, neighborhood (people) quiet even on Memorial Day weekend, and the house has lots of thoughtful amenities.
My cautions: Stairs are unavoidable, and/or if you want AC for comfort or consistency, this isn’t for you. It rains several times a day and you must close the windows (and leave them closed if you leave the house). The coqui frogs are also quite loud, which we found charming. Others might not.
We had one question during our stay, and the hosts were responsive and helpful.
Would definitely stay again if we have the chance.

Tina and David's place is exceptionally well thought-out. There are loads of little touches everywhere that make it clear this isn't just a side rental project for them--beautiful art on the walls, loads of extra beach towels, umbrellas by the door, a super well-stocked kitchen, a bluetooth speaker, and so forth. Every time we thought "wouldn't it be nice if...", they'd already anticipated the idea.
Communication was superb, the location on the cliffs is beautiful (we saw whales every day from the deck), and everything was super-clean.
Two thumbs up! Thanks, Tina and David!

This house had everything we could have wanted. We sat on the cliffs and watched the whales, visited the active volcano, and so much more. You are close to pahoa village and the red road. After visiting various island and towns around Hawaii, this may be my favorite spot. Mahalo for everything!

Great location near Hilo and Volcanoes National Park. Super communication with hosts and easy check-in and out. Well-stocked house and was very private. Would highly recommend if exploring east side of island.
