Hale Ohia is the perfect home away-from-home for your Hawaiian vacation. Warm and cozy, with a well-appointed kitchen, very comfortable beds with lovely bedding, a dining area with views down the Kona Coast, and comfortable living room furniture, including a great massage chair to give your happy, tired muscles a massage after your beach day! The best beach is literally 5 minutes from the house.Your hosts, Nick and Nicole, are truly the most wonderful hosts one could ever wish for. You will feel like part of the family when you stay at Hale Ohia. The hard part is leaving to return to the mainland, but the happy memories stay with you always. We highly recommend Hale Ohia!
Beautiful view overlooking the ocean, and both mountains! Lovely sunsets. Stargazing at night without needing to leave the house was a bonus! Well stocked with everything we needed in the kitchen. Beautiful outdoor space with lots of seating choices. Very responsive hosts. Beds were comfortable. Great water pressure in the shower! Be aware it is right on the main road, so there is some traffic noise, but it did not detract at all from our enjoyment of the home. The neighborhood itself is very quiet. Having an easy drive to the Kohala coast beaches, Waimea, and Hawi was so nice.
The home had everything we could have needed or asked for. The views were fantastic! We watched whales from the yard and enjoyed the sunset each night along with a sky full of stars! The location is perfect to get away from the excitement and crowds in Kona, so you can truly slow down and enjoy all the island has to offer. There are great beaches within minutes of the home and the wonderful town of Waimea just up the mountain with restaurants and grocery stores. Nicole and Nick were responsive to messages and wonderfully kind.
The two houses we rented were superbly priced, decorated, and provided with everything you could imagine as if you lived here all the time. Comfortable, affordable and in the best location on the Big Island a visitor could as for. Close to historical locations, close to water falls and hiking and the best beaches the Big Island could offer. I have never stayed at a rental that was as perfect as these two houses in this quiet peaceful village. The Host treats you with the most kindest and most caring respect you will ever experience.
Even before we arrived, we knew this trip was going to be special. Communication was excellent. Upon arriving, the thoughtfulness was displayed everywhere. Never have we walked into a home and found fresh warm bread with butter waiting for us! The owners checked in with us to make sure we didn't have any questions or needs. The house had everything we needed, from a fully stocked kitchen, to plenty of towels and beach equipment. We loved the multiple places to sit outside. My husband and I both enjoyed the massage chair. Sunsets were gorgeous. We enjoyed watching the New Year's Eve fireworks from the backyard. The home is so close to our favorite beaches. The owners really cared that we enjoyed our time. Can't wait to return! Mahalo!
Thank you so much for accommodating me on my work trip! I needed a central location, and being close to the beach was a huge bonus.
Thank you for a well-stocked kitchen, massage chair, and wonderful down pillows. I am not a good sleeper, but sunk into the memory foam king and didn’t wake up until morning.
Lastly, I just booked our vacation with you - two weeks for the four of us, for 1/4 of what a hotel there costs. So glad I discovered Kawaihae…
Great location, well-appointed place. Not for everyone, though: the road literally next to the cabin and the only bathroom for 3 bedrooms might be an issue for other people.
Our fourth time at Hale Ohia was as nice as our other visits. The house fits us so well. Ken LOVES the massage chair! Had a night or two with an AMAZING sky full of stars (some light clouds the other nights). We had a concern or two, and they were dealt with, as usual. Nicole and Nicolas are great.
It would be a turn off for some people, but I find the light back and forth traffic kind of soothing.
The house is lovely and well-kept. The hosts clearly put some love into it. We really appreciated how well-stocked it was with beach and kitchen equipment. The sunsets from the back yard are amazing. The house had more than enough space for my wife, daughter and me. We would definitely stay there again.
Sweet, very clean little cottage with small bedrooms but oh so comfy beds. It was perfect for the two of us. We’d recommend investing in higher grade, softer pillows if possible as our only suggestion for improvement. The tradewinds can get strong but they also offer a cooling effect that’s welcome in the afternoons. Super convenient spot that’s close to beaches as well as the town of Waimea less than 15 minutes away. Big views! Our hosts were the kindest, most gracious people you could hope to meet and we felt bathed in island aloha from the moment we chose this property. Communication was clear and prompt and their primary goal was for us to have the best time possible. They had us from the moment we walked in and were greeted by a warm loaf of home baked bread, accompanied by fresh butter and jam. Whoa!
Truly a relaxing and welcoming stay.
This place was perfect for us. Close to the best beaches.
Clean comfortable accommodations.
The hosts were amazing.
Would highly recommend for anyone looking for good value away from the bustle.
Property had everything we needed to include coffee maker/filter and French press, oils and spices, lots of cookware. Beach toys for kids, snorkel gear, boogie boards, chairs and beach towels. Beds were comfortable and house was clean. The yard is large and there’s a fence along the back boarder so we felt safe with the kids playing outback while we made dinner. We would love to stay at this home again.
Short drive to several nice beaches.

In between Waimea and the beaches. This is a home - and so very welcoming. The hosts have thought of everything … games, cooking, cleaning, internet, tv, direct communications, books, towels, clothes line, landscape, decor. All done with personal kindness. The views - makai and mauka - we are grateful. Mahalo nui loa. And ‘til we meet again.

Second visit to this wonderful house. First time was fantastic, this time was even better. Clean, comfortable with lots of convenience, amenities and upgrades from 2 years ago! The back yard is a wonderful place to relax. Excellent hosts that communicate well and promptly. Once again they welcomed us with thoughtful and delicious goodies. Hopefully we can make it back very soon!

This was our third stay at this beautiful and immaculate home. Hale ‘Uhane is tucked away in Kawaihae Village, with the volcanoes in the distance and beaches within the view.
The home is well-stocked and the amenities left us not needing to make the multiple trips to the store we usually have to “fill in” gaps where other rental properties have been lacking.
We feel safe and cared-for at this home. From the garden swing with morning coffee and ocean view, to star-gazing in the calm night, this home is a great value - your private slice of paradise!

This is our second time staying here. We were here for 2 weeks. We love everything about it. Location, property, and the owner. The property had everything we need and more. We had a wonderful time and wish we could stay longer.

Once again, very much enjoyed this property. Perfect fit for me and my husband. The new massage chair is amazing! And nothing beats sitting in the backyard, having breakfast, with that incredible view. Nicole and Nicholas are great.
We love Kawaihae. It’s off the beaten path, but it’s a sweet spot. And this is an easy jump to three of our favorite beaches on the island.
Note: it doesn’t bother us, but the property is on a road, and there are cars and trucks going back-and-forth during the day. So it’s not for everyone.

This has become a favorite place for our family to stay when visiting the Big Island. Home is well appointed with plenty of space and amenities. Yard is a huge plus with kids. Just a few minutes to our favorite beaches or Kawaihae food and shopping. Only 10 min to Waimea for groceries, park, farmers market, etc.
