About this property
Oceanview Charmer near Hapuna Beach on Big Island, Massage Chair!
This house, called Hale ‘Uhane, (House of the Higher Self), is located in beautiful Kawaihae Village, near Hapuna Beach. The 3-bedroom hale boasts a very short drive to a variety of world famous and award-winning beaches. Along with the best beaches in Hawaii, there are plenty of activities for the adventurer, or therapeutic relaxation for those seekng serenity. Our wonderful massage chair is just what you need after a long flight or hike. The house was remodeled down to the studs, so everything is new, from flooring to drywall to a modern kitchen, with quartz surfaces and new appliances. For your comfort, Hale ‘Uhane has a split duct air conditioning system, so that each room can be comfort-controlled to just the right temperature. Newcomers to Hawaii, (Malihini) or visitors will easily locate this “gem" of a property because it welcomes as the first house as one drives into Kawaihae Village. (Tucked behind: fenced-in plants, including coconut and fruit trees, Village landscaping such as fragrant plumeria trees, decks, and a pergola.) Panoramic views include Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa volcanoes as well as the ocean, all the way down the coastline. The pergola on the patio is also easily recognizable and a favorite of guests. It is covered and features solar lights and tiki torches at night, and seating ideal for "pupus" (appetizers) drinks, and conversation. Beyond the pergola is another deck/patio,(uncovered), equipped with seating and chaises, and is good for tanning. The inside of the house is open, with the kitchen and family room/lanai being the main feature, along with the professional quality interior design elements, such as a separate bistro section, a bar, and the efficient use of space. The family trademark has always been an immaculate home, with modern and comfortable mattresses and a well-appointed kitchen, including an outside grill (this house has a Weber Spirit II, and propane is provided.) There is also a 55” TV with smart options (Netflix, prime video, etc...) provided the guest uses their own account, and high speed Internet. This home is well-suited to longer “snowbird” visits in the winter, for a couple, or a family vacation. There is an outside shower, which is handy for the multiple beach trips you can make. The posh hotels (and their public beaches) are close by, so you can enjoy a drink or a meal and sunset there, with all the money you save having your own kitchen, washer and dryer, and free parking. You are as welcome as family here, and please feel free to message through VRBO with any questions! Aloha nui loa.

We had a wonderful stay on the Kohala Coast—-a stones throw from all the beautiful beaches, yet also close to our friends in Waimea. This was a very clean VRBO with a nice BBQ and outdoor area. It was a beautiful home away from home! Loved our time here. Hosts were great! ….till next time….
The owners go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need and make sure you can reach them if any questions or needs. Very comfortable, great area and has it all! We will definitely be back!
I cannot recommend this place enough. I came here for a conference and this place had everything I needed to ensure a nice, relaxing and comfortable stay. The hosts were readily available. They even made me feel even more welcome by gifting me fresh bread. Their generosity is unmatched. The location is very quiet and the neighbors are respectful. A true oasis.
This place is super ship shape, efficient with space and has everything you need. It also is minutes from some of the best beaches and just up the hill is Waimea. The hosts were more than attentive, checking in with us from time to time. They made us fresh baked bread when we arrived, which we majorly needed as our flight was delayed and we were so hungry. My little one also got a sea urchin sting and Nicole delivered a basket of toys to the door!! Nicholas and Nicole are a lovely couple and really care about their guests. Definitely will be coming back.
Beautiful Beach House, Super Close to the best Beaches and Resorts!
We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful and charming beach home! There was plenty of room for our family of four and there was even a bonus bathroom which was perfect for the kids! The house is completely updated and everything felt new. The massage chair is seriously amazing and we would probably come back just for that, but our stay was so perfect, we will definitely return! The hosts are so welcoming and treated us like family. We loved all of the touches like fun lights in the backyard and gear for the beach. The best beaches on the island are so close and we had some amazing meals at the nearby resorts. Staying at this beautiful home with the ability to cook our own food, while taking advantage of the nearby beaches and resorts was the best of both worlds for us!! Thank you for an amazing Hawaiian family vacation!

The property was near some of the best beaches in the island. The owners were super attentive. Nick and Nicole sent us a fresh loaf of raisin bread, which we enjoyed with a fresh a cup of coffee every morning,which was also provided.
The house had all the amenities we needed. The kitchen was fully stocked. The house was pretty clean. The owners even had a folder with recommendations of places to eat and things to do in the island.
Nick and Nicole were very responsive to our inquiries. We' ve stayed at various short-term rentals, but none of them have made us feel so welcomed and at home like Nick and Nicole.
Thank you Nick and Nicole for your hospitality.
This place was the perfect home base for an amazing, adventure-filled vacation on Kona. We travelled to Kona with our 3 kids (ages 7, 10, 12), and location was perfect for beach days to Hapuna and Spencer beaches a stone's throw away. One day I even jogged from the house to the beach for some exercise. Lots of great food in Waimea when we wanted to eat out, and well stocked kitchen when we wanted to eat in. The grill was great for grilling kebabs one night, and hamburgers another. Overall the place was very clean, and very well stocked with about anything you could need. The hosts were amazing. Super responsive and helpful. They made us feel so welcome, with toys and boogie boards set out for the kids, and some delicious warm fresh baked bread when we arrived. Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful time and Nick and Nicole were truly above and beyond hosts, making our stay just perfect! The property is just as described, although note that it is right by the main road so you will hear/see traffic. If you are looking for an amazing location with a gorgeous view of the ocean and above and beyond hospitality for a fraction of the cost of other rentals in the area this is your spot! We loved the separate AC in the rooms and having 2 full bathrooms so everyone could get a shower and some privacy when they wanted to. The well-appointed kitchen had everything we needed, and we made great use of the beach umbrellas, chairs, boogie boards, etc. for the quick trip to Hapuna and other nearby beaches. Comfy beds and blackout curtains made for a great night’s sleep. Nick and Nicole were immediately responsive when we had a question — even after checkout, which is almost unheard of! We accidentally left some medication in the fridge after checkout didn’t realize until the next day. Nick brought it to us near our next location and even gave us a cooler bag and cold packs to keep. Such kind and lovely hosts, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Highly recommend.
The house was well-stocked, and the location is beautiful, but what I really need to rave about is the hosts. Nick and Nicole truly care about their guests and made us feel so welcome! Arriving in the evening of the 18th from the midwest (a long trip with two children), we were pleased to find the homemade bread that other reviewers mentioned. Along with butter and jam and a full bag of coffee, it ensured that we'd have something to fortify us in the morning even though we hadn't yet had a chance to get groceries. In addition, there was an adorable stuffed turtle to greet our kids, which delighted them! For Christmas, my husband bought a nice beef tenderloin at the Waimea Butcher Shop; we couldn't find a meat thermometer. A quick text to Nick, and we returned from church on the morning of 12/25 to find one at the door! The hosts also provided numerous recommendations prior to our stay and offered us a late checkout since our flight wasn't until the evening. Their guest comment form specifically asked for maintenance needs we noticed and suggestions for improvement. Nick and Nicole truly care about providing a great experience!
The kitchen had everything we needed to cook, the backyard is gorgeous. There were plenty of beach toys, an umbrella, boogie board, and coolers for the beach. Also, there are oodles of towels - and places to hang them. The location is ideal to explore Kohala beaches and take day trips to Volcanoes NP and the Hamakua Coast.
Truly a FIVE STAR VRBO!
The outdoor space was absolutely beautiful! Inside, the house was pristine! It was fully stocked and had everything we needed and then some! Would definitely recommend staying here!
We loved our stay here. Every little detail was well thought out and everything we needed was right there. The location is fantastic, close to great beaches and restaurants but away from the resort crowds.
Loved it.
The property was immaculate and great location. The hosts communicated with us promptly and answered all
Our questions. Highly recommend this vacation rental.
Very nice property and location for us. Center of locations we want to visit. View was amazing! Furnished with everything you can imagine. Couldn't ask for better hosts! Thank you so much!
If you want to get to the best beaches quickly for a good price, this is a good choice. It was clean and felt new, with all the supplies we needed to get started. The road noise was noted beforehand, but it was quiet inside for a great night's sleep.
This was the perfect house for our family! It had everything we needed and then more. The location was perfect, close to the best beaches on the island and lots of great dining. The guest book provided lots of ideas for activities, shopping and places to eat. The hosts were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond, especially with the thoughtful homemade sweetbread waiting for us when we arrived, the delicious Hawaiian coffee, drinks and even sand toys for the kids! Wonderful vacation! Mahalo ❤️
We had a wonderful stay and couldn't be happier. The fresh baked bread was as a welcome gift and was fantastic. The property was well stocked with everything you'd need for an extended stay away from home. This is a quiet location away from all the hustle and bustle from the busy tourist areas and perfect for our group. We loved how quickly we could be on our way to a variety of adventures and then return to a peaceful home to visit, cook, watch stars and enjoy cool breezes on the patio with our friends. I would book here again the next time I come to see the big island.
This was our 2nd visit to Hale 'Uhane. It was an easy decision to stay here again. The hosts are so kind and wonderful. The house has eveything our little family could want. It was well-stocked for beach adventures, plenty of utensils and cookware, room for the kids to run around outside, and a relaxing space outdoors. The lights and tiki torches at night were fun too. We love the location for getting to our favorite beaches early and quick trips to Waimea.
This property was the perfect place for our Big Island trip. From the time we booked early spring until the day we left, everything went smoothly. Communication was prompt and never overbearing. The binder in the home outlined the owners’ expectations and reviews of amenities.
If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable home with a great backyard and close to the best beaches on the island, this is the place for you. We would stay here again, without hesitation!
What a nice apartment! Conveniently located. Close to many great beaches. The kitchen is perfectly equipped and organized. Spacious living area with great air conditioning and ceiling fans. The back yard overlooks a panoramic view of mountains, lava flows and the ocean. Patio with propane barbecue, picnic table, lounge chairs and covered lanai. The manager was friendly and welcomed us with a plate of macadamia nut cookies and coffee! I would stay here again for sure.
