    Hale Kai, meaning Ocean House, truly lives up to its name. Perched on the cliffs of Hawaiian Paradise Park, this oceanfront escape offers sweeping views of the Pacific and an expansive wraparound deck perfect for grilling, dining, or spotting whales, turtles, and dolphins. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors let you enjoy the ocean’s beauty from nearly every room.

    Perfect for a family getaway or a romantic retreat (proposals have even happened on the deck!), Hale Kai is a peaceful haven with easy access to nearby attractions. You’ll be just 17 miles from Hilo, 12 miles from Kapoho, and minutes from a local park, scenic jungle trail to Ha‘ena (Shipman) Beach, and Orchidland’s cafés and shops. Pahoa’s charming town center is 10 miles away, and Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park is about a 30-mile drive.

2nd stay!

We were thrilled to come back to Hale Kai for another stay. The home is even more comfortable than before. Great home base for Hilo, Pahoa, and Volcano. Can’t beat the ocean view reading and relaxing on the lanai.

Great views

While the interior was a bit dated and beds not too comfy, the views were outstanding. Sunrise never got old even on a cloudy or rainy morning. We’d choose this again if we return to the big island.

Gorgeous Oceanfront Home!

The perfect oceanfront retreat awaits! This home has a wonderful covered patio that runs the length of the ocean side of the home. It’s a perfect place to hang out in the shade and take in the spectacular view. The home is nicely furnished and very comfortable and family-friendly. The owners were incredible helpful and responsive. Highly recommended!!

Lovely home

Lovely home on quiet street. This home is nestled at the back edge of the enormous neighborhood of HPP. It is directly on the ocean cliffs with dramatic views of the ocean. The whole house opens up to let in the cooling breezes and sounds of crashing waves. The home is very well equipped (kitchen, laundry and comfy beds) and lots of privacy but a short drive to grocery stores or downtown Hilo.

Loved the quiet

It is a well-kept property. We really enjoyed the sunrise and the view from the terrace.You do need a car and it is quite far from all amenities, but if you don't mind, it is really a nice place to stay. The beds are comfy, we didnt need aircon, as there was always a breeze, only at night, the mosquitoes can be a little annoying outside, but all windows have mosquitoe nets.Lighting could have been a bit better in the second bathroom, but that is complaining on a high level. We would definitely recommend it for couples.

Delightful!

We had 2 adults snd 2 teenagers. The house was absolutely wonderful. We spent every evening on the wrap around porch. Loved our visit to Volcano National park, waterfalls, and the hike off of Beach Rd. to Shipman Beach. The house was well equipped and we were able to grocery shop close by. Would stay again if we ever visit Hilo in the future.

Hella cliffs!

Nice little house for +/-6, awesome view, highly recommend driving gov beach rd SE of Hawaiian Beaches neighborhood. Inexpensive for what you get. Had trouble getting in on arrival (door was dead bolted) but a call to customer service set us straight with no delay. I’d stay in a Vacasa managed property again.

Beautiful oceanfront home in Paradise Park

We loved how the entire back of the house was windows, offering an incredible view of the ocean. The deck right behind it was walled with glass, so the view is not impaired at all. The home was very clean and very comfortable. We grilled our dinners and made breakfast in the nice kitchen. It was fairly warm when we were there (unseasonably so) and so we really appreciated the whole-house fan

Amazing place!

We had 4 adults in our group and there was plenty of space for everyone. Bedrooms are a good size, and had plenty of storage for our things. The house was very clean and comfortable. It had everything you would need in a vacation rental. The wifi went out a few times, but that didn't matter. The house did get warm but the house fan did an okay job of cooling. The view and location are what put this house over the top! There is nothing like the waves crashing into the cliff!

Pre- Honeymoon

Absolutely stunning views of the ocean, porch was a perfect place for sun bathing and meditating. We came to celebrate our engagement. We loved hiking to celebrate the State Shipman Park, swam with turtles at the Shipment park ocean. Although we loved the privacy, we also enjoyed the local bar and Restaurant with local bands playing on weekends with delicious local foods. I would return to celebrate my anniversary. The amenities were wonderful, full kitchen to large bathrooms, large living room and a work office space was so nice to have. Thanks you.

Hale Kai in HPP

Really great location. The house, however, was obviously cheaply built and cheaply decorated. It was also hot as heck! No insulation apparently, and no blinds in the great room to block the heat from the sun.There were ceiling and floor fans, but the ceiling fans were noisy. The kitchen was not well outfitted--as though someone made a list of utensils but had never cooked. We had a great time, but I will look for alternatives to Vacasa the next time I am looking for a vacation rental

Incredible Ocean View

We stayed on property for a hiking trip and house fully met our needs. It was fully equipped and supplied even with a bag of ice in freezer. The main reason we rented property is the incredible view of the ocean from the living/dinning room and back porch. House is just 50 feet from a cliff at the ocean front and seeing/hearing the waves crash into the cliff is mesmerizing. The main negative is no AC. House gets warm during day and windows need to be left open at night. While nights are relatively pleasant you need ear plugs to sleep do to outside bird chirping all night. We had problems with the coded door lock so used the emergency lock box key entire time. Property manager promptly gave us lock box code to access key. The house uses rain water system and recommends bringing your own bottled water.

Beautiful home and views

Property manager was so helpful in getting us into the home when the door code didn’t work. The sea turtles and dolphins were the best surprise! We loved the view of the cliffs. Only drawback is no AC even with all the fans but they had so many items ready for a vacation outside, we didn’t mind too much.
