About this house rental
PLEASE NOTE: DURING THE HOLIDAYS, FROM DECEMBER 15 TO JANUARY 1, WE REQUIRE AT LEAST A TWO-WEEK BOOKING.
"Pathway of the Gods" is the meaning of the name given by ancient Hawaiians to Kealakekua Bay. Five hundred feet from the bay, nestled among the palm trees and fragrant plumeria blossoms is the site of your next vacation. Let us "Big Isle" you!
Hale Hanai is a family-friendly two-story vacation rental home that will give you a taste of old Hawaii, away from the crowds, with a large private yard abounding in fragrant flowers, bananas, and coconuts. 'Hanai' is a word Hawaiians use to designate adopted family. While staying in our home, you are our adopted family.
Upstairs, Mom and Dad can relax and enjoy their own private living room with views of the bay. The Alii (royalty) room is furnished with a California King bamboo canopy bed, a seating area, and a lanai from which to view some of the most beautiful sunsets in the world. There is a fully equipped kitchen and a dining room with a table that seats eight, as well as a china hutch with dishes for that special meal.
Downstairs, there is a separate living room and a small dining table to enjoy a sandwich or snack. The Sandcastle Sanctuary has a queen-size bed and a built-in daybed, perfect to accommodate Grandma and Grandpa or a married child and spouse. The built-in daybed is wonderful for a younger child, and it also makes a great place to sit and enjoy a book while the ocean breezes rustle the curtains and wash your cares away. There is even a portable crib ready for a napping baby, if needed. The Volcano Room sports a double bed, and the decor has been heavily influenced by Madame Pele, the goddess of fire. The Shark Tank Den has a twin bed with aquatic decor that is very kid-friendly. Two queen-size sleeper sofas (one upstairs, one down) round out the sleeping arrangements.
Across the bay is the historic Captain Cook monument that marks the place where the famous explorer met his untimely end. Spinner Dolphins visit the bay almost daily, and there is unparalleled snorkeling in this marine sanctuary. After a day of sightseeing or kayaking in the bay, the outdoor shower will wash away the sand along with your cares. The barbecue awaits, as you dine outdoors on the two picnic tables as the sun sets on another perfect day in paradise.
Please note that we have a two-week minimum policy for bookings during the Christmas holidays, from December 15 to January 1.

Susan, the property host, was always so friendly and quick to respond. The home was spacious for our group and we loved the location. We used Ehu and Kai to rent kayaks, which was a two minute drive or very walkable, to paddle to Captain Cook's Monument and snorkeled there. We also took advantage of Honaunau to visit the historical park and snorkel right near it. Incredible snorkeling with spinner dolphins around, sea turtle, eels and such. Really beautiful. The only ding to the home is a the lack of air conditioning. They do provide ceiling fans in the bedrooms and fans in sitting areas. We loved our time there and would stay again.

The proximity to Manini Beach is magical. Susan went above and beyond to make our stay special, including putting out toys for our kids to play with on arrival. The kids adored the shark and volcano rooms. We loved it. Thank you.

Susan is great! Great location!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Mar 2019
Space was great, yard beautiful and location pretty good for daily excursions. Boys fished daily just down the road and they loved that. House was good, definitely enough space for our large group. Glad we had a heads up to be prepared for geckos as roommates and a few other critters, house is in the tropics, so this is to be expected. One disappointment was the broken grill, we were really looking forward to being able to grill outside in the evenings. Appreciated having the washer and dryer for clean towels and washing beach/hiking clothes. Most fans worked and with windows open we were able to manage without AC. House could use a little TLC, but overall very comfortable. I would stay here again.
