Terry,

We had the pleasure of staying at the Hale Hale Ai from 1/31/2020 to 02/05/2020. From the moment we entered the gates and then walked through the house, the only words heard were 'WOW" The entire home is beyond spectacular, while at the same time being so very comfortable and welcoming. The beds were so comfortable, and the view of the ocean from the master is amazing. Everything from the linens to dishes was perfect and everything we needed was there.
Our favorite time was sitting on the back deck after a long day of sightseeing and watching the ocean from the covered patio in the lounge chairs. Stunning.
The property manager was attentive and gave us many suggestions of places to go and things to see. Everything was as described and the whole experience was easy and seamless.
All of us agree that the next time we are in Hawaii, this is the house we want to rent and have already recommended it to family and friends.
Thank you so very much for an amazing stay!!!!!!!

Hi Terry,
Today was the last day for me to write a review on our stay in Hale Hale 'Ai , so I wrote one tonight. However, I just missed the deadline (apparently it was 9 pm here in CA, not midnight). So I here is the text I had written. I will try to contact VRBO to see if I can still post it.
Beautiful and spacious home, right at the ocean. Gorgeous kitchen with everything we could possibly need, new appliances, and lots of silverware and dishes. Master bedroom had an amazing enormous bed, and walk in shower with pebble floor. The other bedroom had a toilet space with sink, and a 2nd bathroom across the hall. Everything was perfectly clean and new. Lots of towels, sheets, hangers, soaps, and dish washer tablets. Big washing machine and dryer, with tablets provided. The back of the house consists of sliding glass doors that open up all the way to enjoy the sea. The back yard is open to the cliffs, so not safe for the little ones, but what an amazing sight. We saw spinner dolphins every day, and enjoyed their show. Whales came by every now and then and three nene geese payed us a visit too. Perfect spot on the East side of the island to visit the Botanical Garden and waterfalls of Hilo, to visit the Volcano National Park, and to drive to the destructive lava flows of 2018. Thank you for having is stay here, we felt so much at home."

We’ve been fortunate to stay in many properties along the cliffs in HPP, and this house ranks in the top 1 or 2 consistently! You have everything you need, plenty of room and views, views, views! I could sit and listen to the the waves, frogs and birds forever.

Whales, Dolphins & Sea Turtles Every Day

Our stay was absolutely perfect! We were looking for gorgeous, peaceful, romantic surroundings to celebrate Valentine’s Day and a milestone birthday. “Home By The Sea” was everything we hoped for as it is outside of the busy crowded tourist areas. Once we learned to look for whales and dolphins we saw them right of the back lanai every day. If you like to hike, there is a little beach with sand and 20 to 30 Sea turtles at the end of a 2 1/2 mile hike on the Puna Trail. Full disclosure, the hike is muddy in spots with lots of rocks but SO worth it!

Wonderful beach house

I recommend this beach house for adults who wish to get away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist sections of Kona and Hilo. Located in a very nice area right on the coast, so it is lovely to sit out on the back porch and watch the ocean both in the morning and just prior to sunset

Family Trip

The views from this house are spectacular. Sitting outside on the lanai with coffee, looking out to the ocean was amazing. This house had everything we needed. The kitchen is the best equipped in any rental I’ve stayed in. There aren’t a lot of restaurants so we stayed in most nights and cooked. We got everything we needed at Malama Market in Pahoa and the farmers market. I would definitely stay here again!

Paradise Visit

Excellent property, exactly as described. Nice, quiet neighborhood. Comfortable house. Excellent beds. The only negative is IF you are a late sleeper, the master bedroom has no shades (opens to the water so plenty of privacy) and the early morning sun comes in directly. Other bedroom, very comfortable, is very dark. Definitely will stay again next time in Hilo.

Wow! What an amazing home!

This is one of the most beautiful places I’ve stayed at. We stayed five nights here with our adult children. It was fantastic! The ocean pounding the cliffs outside was so relaxing. The home is immaculate, so clean and well maintained. We had everything we needed and more. Plenty of space and bathrooms for our family. I would definitely recommend this home for your vacation. My only issue was the size of the swimming pool. We were disappointed that it was so small. In the photos it appears to be large enough for a group to hang out in. But sadly it was a lot smaller than we expected. It’s a quarter of the size it appears to be.

Wonderful experience - Very nice property!

This home is located on a lava bluff overlooking the ocean. While there is no ocean access there, the sound of the surf and the ocean breezes were very nice. The glass wall that retracts to open the entire end of the house to the sea was a special treat. The house was modern, clean, well equipped, roomy and had high-end finishes. Having air conditioning was also nice to cool it off when the trade winds weren't quite enough. Convenient to Volcano National Park, Hilo, the beaches and sites on the east side of Hawaii island it was a pleasure to spend time there.
