Guests are responsible for carrying their luggage to their rooms. Bookings limited to 2 guests per room (including children). Quiet hours are 9pm to 8am for the comfort of all of our guests, Mahalo!

The property was in a beautiful spot on the Hamakua Coast - very close to Hilo and to Angel Farms. The room was clean, the breakfast fruit was fresh and perfect, the bed was very comfortable and everything was very easy. Loved the pool as well - the only thing missing was a jacuzzi!! :) Thanks for a great stay!

Perfect holiday retreat

Hale Kai is simple but has all the necessities for a comfortable stay. The views were beautiful from the lanai and the pool with ocean view was an added bonus. It is the perfect location to explore Hilo.

Modest accommodation with outstanding views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rooms themselves are very simple but incredibly clean and comfortable. The massive lanai that wraps around the building connecting each room was the highlight of our stay - we ate our meals out there watching the waves and the surfers nearby. The sunrises here are unreal - and being able to watch them from in the cozy king sized bed made them all the better. The breakfast was modest but delicious, and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. The property is quiet and very private. Absolutely would stay here again and again.

Love this place! Made our Hilo stay absolutely amazing!

We arrived late but the location is amazing, only about 5-10 mins drive to Hilo downtown but the best part is the ocean view in the morning when you have your breakfast. The included breakfast was really good (egg, yogurt, fresh fruit, pastry) and the location was quiet so you can fall asleep to the wave sounds.

Quiet, beautiful, home base to explore the Hilo area

My wife and I spent three nights in the Moana Room as we explored the Hilo area and it was perfect for our needs. The room was spacious and clean and boasts an amazing view overlooking Hilo Bay. We made use of the pool and hot tub and loved listening to the crashing waves below while drifting off to sleep.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice place but location close to ocean makes materials and furnishings age/wear quickly. Could use some Roman shades on lanais (for intense morning sun) and some overall improvements/updating. Still nice and had a great time though

Great space next to the ocean

We had a nice stay at this space. The only cons were the hot tub didn't work, and our door wouldn't lock from the outside with the key provided, but the space was secluded and we felt very safe despite. We would certainly stay in this beautiful space again. Mahalo!
