About this property

Spectacular Beachfront Home! Waialea Bay Beach House on White Sand Beach

  • The much loved and well appointed Lalamilo Beach House is ideally located on the north end of Waialea Bay (Beach 69) which is known for its beautiful white sand beach and turquoise blue water.

    Three bedrooms in the main house each have their own private bathroom and you can see the ocean and beach directly in front of you. It is the most ideal location!

    The plantation-style, main house was designed for beach goers of all ages. It features an expansive great room, a fully-equipped kitchen with large central island and counter seating, a dining table with seating for up to 10 guests, a card/game table and a large Punee for lounging in the traditional Hawaiian style. There is also a generous sun deck with an outdoor dining area and ample seating for sunbathers and stargazers alike. The long, shaded lanai leads to the home's three bedroom suites, each boasting stunning mauka and makai views as well as the sounds of the sea.

    The separate, second story 1 bedroom/1 bath Guest house offers its own lanai, living room and master suite, as well as mauka views of the world famous volcanoes - Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. The Ohana Guest House sleeps 2 adults and 2 kids comfortably.

    Note: all interior spaces are fully-screened protecting you and your little ones from any tropical insects.

    Nearly one half acre of beautiful, mature, tropical landscaping. The plumerias are so plentiful, in fact, that guests can string together their own leis daily. The large, green lawn leads directly onto the beach and provides the perfect spot to play badminton, volleyball, store beach toys, or host a small gathering. There is also a hot water, outdoor shower that makes coming in from a long swim or snorkel truly pleasurable.

    Catering, housekeeping and massage services can be made available throughout your stay for an additional charge.

Incredible location and property

This house was amazing for our family of eight and grandma and grandpa! The location is incredible and we will stay here again some year!!!!! The whole setting is a 10, but does have a few minor things to be aware of. The beach access is also part of a state park and can get really crowded, because it is an awesome location for snorkeling, SUP (use the owner’s referral to Evan for SUP & kayak rentals: HE WAS AWESOME to rent from) and hanging out. The house is well kept, but has it’s little things like the screen doors needed constant attention or our poor attention to detail that if you leave the property after 8pm to 7am, you have to use the secondary gated exit (we almost missed our fishing boat. Again, our mistake and the house contact was great to deal with) Other awesome bonus stuff was the storage room full of beach chairs, masks/snorkels/fins and a few fishing poles. Simply put, this house and location is second best place I have stayed in my life, after a safari tent resort in Africa! Mahalo!

Want to live here

Our extended family loved this property. Everything about it was perfect for us. Grandparents, two daughters and son in laws, five grandchildren. Each family had a place for themselves, plenty of bathrooms, great beach access, abundance of beach toys and chairs. Kitchen was perfect for all our cooking needs, thanksgiving dinner, birthday cake. I may delete this and write a mediocre review so we can have a good chance of getting this house again. Only drawback was stickers on the path to the beach from the trees. Truly our little piece of paradise.

50th wedding anniversary and reunion

The house is well equipped with great access to a beautiful beach. The house also has nice plantings and good privacy. If I stay there again I shall deal directly with Lelani the realtor not though Vrbo. The beach itself is sandy and picturesque but is often crowded during the day. In the early morning and evening it is quiet. Morning and evening are the best times for snorkeling.

Perfect

We brought our entire family to the Great Island, including 3 under the age of 3! This property is like staying at your own boutique hotel. The kitchen is definitely the most well stocked of any property we have rented in the past. The bath towels and beach towels are plush and plentiful. We all so enjoyed walking across our yard right to the beach and into the ocean. We liked this property so much that we already checked the calendar for this week next week and alas...it is already booked.

Want to stay forever

I'm always hesitant to let people know about Waialea Bay, but anyhow... Lalamilo is a wonderful house. Besides its amazing location, it has tons of style and is incredibly comfortable. We loved it and only wish we could have stayed longer. That, and it would have been pretty cool to be like the photos in the home that show folks arriving by sampan in the 1940s. Must have been heaven. It still is.

Great House and Location!

The accommodations and location were excellent! We had quick access to the beach and plenty of space inside and outside of the house to rest, relax and spend time together. The three bedrooms in the house, as well as the cottage, provided comfortable and private space for each of the four couples during our one-week stay. Leilani’s response to our few questions was timely. You can’t beat this great house and location!

It was all it was cracked up to be!

This is a pretty special property. Enough space for a large group to sleep and convene, and many conversation zones. The beach access is incredible. To hop out of bed and walk a few steps out of the gate into the water is truly priceless.

Rustic relaxation

Just can't beat the location on the whole island and that's what you are paying for. It's not the 4 seasons, so don't expect that. Expect peace, tranquility, all the necessities, but no A/C. There was a TV (it was covered) and I didn't even notice it until we were leaving and I'm glad the kids didn't either. The trees on the beach negate the need for an umbrella. Snorkeling in the area is very good, not as good as 2step though , but the fish here including parrots and triggers of all sorts are huge. I'm not sure why they are so big here, but it's certainly cool. Leilani, the property manager and all the cleaning staff were so nice. If you want luxury, this is not your place. If you want to escape and enjoy nature and can handle no A/C this place is heaven on earth. We spent 3 days at Disney Auluni and although the kids loved it, I call it disney hell. What a change of pace to come to this great house where it never got loud other than some occasional wind and the waves. I really want to come back.

Fabulous house on the beach

Lalamilo is everything you would want for your stay on the big island! I would say the best thing about the house is that it is right on the water. Coffee on the beach in the morning, the kids snorkeled and swam in the waves, evenings on the beach watching the sunset, and listening to the waves at night was heaven. The house itself has fabulous amenities. The kitchen and living space is wonderful, large deck with umbrellas and grill, lovely bedrooms and bathrooms, and a large yard to play games. It felt very much like home. The location is also great - not only close to the airport but also close to the two most beautiful beaches on the island (Hapuna and Mauna Kea). We walked on the trail to Hapuna every morning. Also a short drive to popular restaurants, shopping, and grocery shopping. I highly recommend Lalamilo!!

Rustic, but Beach in the Back Yard is wonderful

Just finished a week at the Lalamilo Beach House with extended family. The kitchen/dining/great room is spacious and well stocked. The bedrooms are comfortable, though two showers were not clean and we cleaned them again. All the rooms have ceiling fans and screened windows, good for air circulation, but didn't keep wasps or roaches out! It was also very warm during our vacation time and most nights sleeping was a problem because of the heat. The guest house which can sleep 3 people, has another kitchen and large bath is VERY warm. Here the wasps were worse, though we did call management and they sprayed and cut down palm fronds where the critters were living. (Maybe this could have been done before guests arrived.) There is no functioning TV in the Guest House, though it's ready for DVD's but bring your own as none are available on the property. Also because of poor signage at midnight our son was awakened with a lost tourist shining a flashlight in his face. Guest safety should be improved!!! All this said, the beach is beautiful , very swim friendly and there is some snorkeling. The sunsets are remarkable and there are chairs and snorkel gear for all to use.

Island Home

For the second time my family and I have stayed at Lalamilo and once again it became our home. The warmth and beauty of the islands surrounds you and the layout of the home enable all of us to stay in the same place comfortably. The great room and kitchen allows us to cook and eat together and the yard which extends out to join the beach allowed the children to be back and forth easily to the beach. We will definitely return!

Best Week Ever & The Perfect Wedding Venue

My family stayed at the Lalamillo house over Thanksgiving weekend 2015 where 44 of our closest friends and family celebrated our exchange of vows. The house was perfect for both the family who was lucky enough to call it home for the week (5 adults & 4 little ones) and the wedding. We loved waking up in the morning, enjoying coffee on the beach, a morning snorkel or stand up paddle, sight seeing during the day, and then coming back for more beach time. Sunsets are magical here! The beach, just steps away, has so much to offer including great snorkeling, shade, some gentle waves, a nearby walking path! The house is luxurious and has awesome amenities! And you really can hear the waves crashing from all the rooms in the house. The space is functional, comfortable, and authentic. I can't recommend this place enough. Don't hesitate! The photos don't do it justice!

Wonderful home and beach

This review is much delayed, since we stayed at Lalamilo in January -- but not because we didn't have a fantastic time! We had 11 people from 3 generations -- ages ranging from 9 to 70-something. Never having been to the island before, we had no idea that we would be on one of the most beautiful beaches on the coast. We were there for a week and never ate a breakfast or dinner out -- grilling on the lanai every evening, supplementing with extras prepared in the well-equipped kitchen. Sunsets on the beach were wonderful. Leilani was always available for whatever questions we had. Would love to go back.
