great spot! Reviewed by: Will M. recommends this property. Stayed for 2 days in January, 2013 Location is incredible, large lot and very private. Ocean sound at night is ominous, I enjoyed the loud crashing sound, in fact slept with the door open to bring it in. The house is an interesting design, open floor plan on top with a huge master suite. The rest of the bedrooms are downstairs and disconnected from the main house, acccess is from outside with an outside staircase. Only reason to be downstairs is to be in bed since you are so far away form the rest of the house. The sizee of the master is crazy big which of course is nice if you're in the master but if you're sharing the house it could be tough to divy up the sleeping arrangements. The downstairs roomss were a bit moldy, not so much that it was overpowering but if you're sensitive to that odor be aware. I suspect it's pretty common on this side of the island what with the large amounts of rain. All said, it's a very nice house in a great location and is completely private. |

nice, but.... A guest from Garrett Park, MD does not recommend this property. Stayed for 7 days in August, 2012 great location (although no swimming), and the house has potential, but the property needs a little work. The upstairs master suite is in good shape, but the two downstairs suites are aged and musty.Hawaii Holiday Vacation Rentals were supberb. A defective pool pump was fixed in now time and they let us stay almost an entire extra day because of a late-night flight departure. Super accommodating. My recommendation might be to go with them, but use a different property. Property Manager Response: Response from Aloha Coast Realty, LLC/Hawaii Holiday Vac. Rentals Thank you for your review! There is swimming in the pool but no ocean access (as advertised). The Owners of the property are constantly upgrading the property and most guests are wowed by it's location and architecture. We know not every property will appeal to every traveller and we hope prospective guests will read other reviews to get an accurate portrayal of this unique and wonderful place.

Wonderful Vacation Home Joan M. from Nashville, TN recommends this property. Stayed for 4 days in May, 2012 By far, one of the best places we have ever stayed! The pictures were great but it was even better than I expected. Very Private and beautiful it was hard leaving to go tour the island. Would love to come back. |

from Maui with Aloha A guest from WAILUKU, HI recommends this property. Stayed for 3 days in May, 2012 We came to Keeau from Maui for the State Track and Field Championships to watch our son run in the 400m. The location was beach front, very private, well maintained and beautifully crafted with a lot of Koa giving it an open lodge feel, and the bed in the master bdmr was the best. The rest of the bdrms were downstairs and opened to a large open lawn straight out to the sea which gave our guest the option for privacy as well. Everything one needs for cooking, including dinning options in and out on the large lanai, gas grill included is in this house. It really has a warmth, wether walking on beautiful Koa wood floors with bare feet,or returning from a days adventure Hale Kakahi welcomes you back. Thank you, and my son took 2nd place for the 400m, not bad for a 9th grader. Mahalo, for your great services. |

perfect except A guest from Novato, CA recommends this property. Stayed for 7 days in March, 2012 there was no internet connection, which had been promised and was essential for me since i was writing a book and needed to connect with my editor daily.HOWEVER the management company turned cartwheels to try and help me and gave me a discount to compensate and they made it all perfect! Property Manager Response: Response from Aloha Coast Realty, LLC/Hawaii Holiday Vac. Rentals Thank you so much for your review, we so enjoyed hosting you! As you know we were having a terrible time with the internet provider during your stay. We have since gotten the internet working and it has been reliable for months. We sure hope you'll consider staying with us again! Mahalo, Hawaii Holiday Management |

A few days as Hale Kakahi in Pahoa A guest from Newton, MA recommends this property. Stayed for 4 days in March, 2012 This property is a work of art inside and out, and we definitely enjoyed our time there, a wonderful place for adult couples, but there are some aspects that make it not so user-friendly for families. Access to the lower level bedrooms is from the outside, and there were no inside locks on those doors, making our daughters uncomfortable sleeping alone down there. The place is also showing it's age a bit; for example: the skylight in the master bath leaks when it rains, so clothes draped over the tub got wet overnight. I wish I had known that before I went to bed. But overall, we enjoyed the place and would recommend it to friends. Property Manager Response: Response from Aloha Coast Realty, LLC/Hawaii Holiday Vac. Rentals Thank you for your review of this unique and gorgeous property! Good news! The roof was just replaced and all of the leak issues are gone as of 3/2012. Mahalo, Hawaii Holiday Management |

Super! A guest from VILNIUS, VILNIUS recommends this property. Stayed for 7 days in January, 2012 The week we, two couples, spent at Hale Kakahi was unforgetable! The location of the property is great, house big and courtyard around is fantastic. The house has everything what is needed for vacations. Especially we liked concert of birds every evening. Super! |

We could not have stayed in a better location and home than Hale Kakahi. We felt as if we were on a fantasy vacation every mome Bobbi & Paul E. from Tehachapi, CA recommends this property. Stayed for 10 days in January, 2010 The open floorplan of the octogonal house and expansive windows all around provided a spectacular view. It was difficult to leave the property to see other sights because of the comfort and beauty of the estate. We truly appreciated the owners, Harrison and Sherene for their hospitality and generosity in providing us with special personal touches and homemade banana nut bread! We would come back again and again if the home were available in the future. Thank you so much for the best trip ever. |

Beautiful location and grounds. Home not well maintained and severely needs updating, ventilation and cleaning!!! A guest from Winterhaven, FL does not recommend this property. Stayed for 7 days in October, 2009 House has beautiful, well maintained grounds with a beautiful view of the ocean. The photos that we saw on the internet of the house are not the same house that we stayed in for 1 week. There are several areas that need repair and are actually rotted out and dangerous. There were only 3 out of 7 working sliders to allow ventilation upstairs and with no a/c it was hot. Downstairs, there is no a/c at all. You have to run dehumidifers and a small fan. Also, since you have to leave the doors open to ventilate, all the little bugs come in the home to swarm you at night. By the way good luck following all the rules of the house and if you dont the owners come in and turn off all your ceiling fans while you are gone. The Big Island is beautiful though. Property Manager Response: Response from Aloha Coast Realty, LLC/Hawaii Holiday Vac. Rentals This review validates the old adage "you can't please everyone." Most Hale Kakahi guests (we have had over 300 since 2001) tell us the house looks even more spectacular in person than it does in the photos on the Internet. Plus we own Hale Kakahi and pour our hearts and souls into it. So when this guest called on arrival to say she didn't like it, we couldn't help but take it personally. We certainly don't want anyone to stay who isn't happy, so we offered her a full refund. She refused. Instead, for the remainder of the week, 24 hours a day, even when they were out all day sightseeing, the guests proceeded to leave every fan in the house on and the air conditioner running in the master bedroom with the doors and windows open! After several days of this, of course we shut off the a/c and the fans when the guests were gone, which is what they should have done themselves out of common courtesy. Hawaii has the highest electric rates in the nation and we estimate the guests wasted several hundred dollars of energy by their thoughtless actions. We're sorry the guest was not happy here but she should have accepted the refund and stayed somewhere else rather than be unhappy for a week and misuse this beautiful home. |

Hawaiian Escape Home Debbie M. from Lodi, CA recommends this property. Stayed for 7 days in September, 2009 The house was beautiful. The beachfront location was awesome although it was too rocky to swim there. The kitchen appliances were a bit dated and needed to be replaced. The lighting in the kitchen was very dim so we had to move a light into the cooking area. The wood floors and walls were beautiful, but the wood sliding doors tended to stick or come off the hinge. The master bedroom had air conditioning, but the rest of the house did not and at times it was a little warm. I was not sure why there were no stairs in the home to get down to the first floor. You had to go out the side door and down the outside stairs to get to the downstairs bedrooms. The huge lanai was great. Had some meals out there, coffee in the morning, played cards, had drinks. The lanai was very enjoyable. The pool was great, in very good condition as was the grounds. Very lovely. Our biggest concern was that it was quite a drive into Hilo. We spent a lot of time in our car driving. There was a market in Pahoa, but most of our trips required we start in Hilo. I would rate the home overall, a 4 star out of 5. |

Paradise Mary C. from Milton, VT recommends this property. Stayed for 3 days in August, 2009 A family with small children might worry about rooms being downstairs. Rough, rocky shoreline butts backyard. Other than that... this is THE place to stay on the Big Island. The owners, housekeepers, gardeners, pool cleaner are all fantastic to the guests. Absolute paradise. Five stars all around! |

Our stay at Hale Kakahi was absolutely wonderful!! More beautiful than I could ever have imagined. The view of the grounds and Reviewed by: Donna H. recommends this property. Stayed for 4 days in July, 2009 I went to Hawaii to celebrate my 60th birthday and was not disappointed in Hale Kakahi. Sharene and Harrison were awesome hosts and excellent guides for our side trips. Hale Kakahi is very big and spacious, comfortable, and relaxing. The first turn into the driveway was unbelievable! Lush and green everywhere!! I would very highly reccomend a vacation here for an unforgetable vacation of a lifetime. |

Vacation Perfection A guest from Portland, OR recommends this property. Stayed for 7 days in July, 2009 Everything about our week in Hale Kakahi was perfection. It was peaceful, the view was incredible, the hospitality could not be topped. After an exhausting year, this was exactly the holiday we needed. We hope to return for another in the near future. |

perfect vacation in paradise. Andrew G. from Waukee, IA recommends this property. Stayed for 7 days in March, 2009 Harrison and his partner touched base when the power went out - which we appreciated. It was a beautiful home in a quiet place on a wonderful island. We could not have hada better time. Just a note; the boys had fun feeding the fish every afternoon. All we can say is "Thank you". We would go back yesterday!!!!!! Drew and Katrina |

Great, but no A/C Emanoel R. from Boca Raton, FL recommends this property. Stayed for 3 days in October, 2008 One of my main criteria was that the house have A/C. The web site and all the literature said that the house had A/C. Even the management company told me the same thing when I called and spoke with them directly. When we arrived however, we found out that only one bedroom had A/C. We were traveling with another couple and they had to sleep in a hot bedroom with a very noisy dehumidifier. I understand that most homes in Hawaii do not have A/C, but we should have been told the truth. For us, this took away from the beautiful house, gorgeous views and immaculate grounds. Property Manager Response: Response from Aloha Coast Realty, LLC/Hawaii Holiday Vac. Rentals We try very hard to provide complete and accurate information about our properties in all our written and oral communications. The last thing we want is a guest who is disappointed and writes a bad review like this one! The descriptions of Hale Kakahi in all our web listings clearly state that only the master bedroom is air-conditioned. We're pretty happy to offer air conditioning in the master bedroom -- it sets Hale Kakahi apart because, as the guest points out, most homes do not have A/C at all. (Most guests and residents find the weather here very comfortable without A/C.) We don't believe we ever said anything to imply that the whole house had A/C, and we sure didn't intend to. We are very sorry this guest somehow got incorrect information and was disappointed. |

One week at Hale Kakahi Curtis E. from Rancho Santa Margarita, CA recommends this property. Stayed for 7 days in September, 2008 Very dramatic property. Much better than expected from the on-line pictures. Like living in the botanical gardens. Geckos very friendly as well as the frogs at night. Sunrise very spectacular every morning. Not too far from Pahoa so its easy to get provisions or dine at Luquins.Curt |
