Great Location, very comfortable and quiet. Close to good food and great snorkeling.
Brian L. from Scottsdale, AZ recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in October, 2009
The bug problem freaked out my girlfriend when we walked in. I had wished that someone would have aired out the home and checked the roach traps before our arrival. After picking up several more roach traps opening the windows the place was wonderful.Well stocked, great hotub ! Views are great also.

ocean front experience
Trudi D. from Lago Vista, TX recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in October, 2009
This home was a great way to start our vacation, ocean front with awesome sunrise and moonrise views and hearing the waves was relaxing. Very well stocked with the items we needed and area info, clean and close to things we wanted to see.

Great Place to Stay and a Nice Location
A guest from Baltimore, MD recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in September, 2009
My wife and I had a great time at this home. One of the best parts was actually the notebook of suggestions of things to do left there by the owners. We had a great time snorkeling at the tidepools nearby. The little town of Pahoa was also a real treat, with some reasonably priced restaurants - one of our meals was a delicious spaghetti dinner for only $6/person (Boogie Woogie Pizza). We also had a good Thai meal at Ning's Thai Cuisine. We heard stories of the rain, but for the four days we were there, I think it only rained once during the day for a short time in the morning.

Fantastic bathrooms, towels. watery sounds, views, and yes, sea spray!
A guest from Felton, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in August, 2009
Bathrooms A plusKitchen great, although knives need an upgrade and we had to rearrange the pantry to find a place to store our food. Open Light and airy. Bedrooms could use a new carpet or shift to the wood and the Bed linens need replacing. (maybe thats next..) We were there right before a storm so it was pretty wild with the waves on the rocks. Incredible views of the color in the ocean. good place to start excursions from. The Hot Tub water was a bit murky for our taste (We didn't go in it for that reason)and would have requested new water if we had been there 5 or more days. My son used it though! Very accomadating for our early check in, though they made no promises as it had been occupied the previous day. they still were able to have it ready for us! Yay!

Lovely ocean retreat!
A guest from Decorah, IA recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in June, 2009
Our family of five loved our stay at Hale Ehu Kai on the Big Island. The house is really right on an ocean cliff so the views of the beautiful ocean waves were unobstructed. It was great to see the turtles playing in the ocean right out front. We were surprised by the number of amenities at the house from kitchen supplies to snorkeling equipment. The house is a bit of a drive to Hilo and the volcano (40 minutes) but we knew this and to stay on the ocean this was necessary. Parts of the house are rusting from the ocean spray but owners are aware of this and this didn't affect our overall stay. Overall a beautiful location with great amenities. Thanks!

Overall great experience
Casey C. from Lynnwood, WA recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in May, 2009
Truly enjoyed our stay. Sunshine abundant in Pahoa even when skies were gray in Hilo. Property located in quiet neighborhood community. Spectacular ocean view visible from most rooms in the house and fresh ocean breezes off the lanai. Beautifully appointed and lovely decor. Only complaints were a cold shower one morning (solar powered, perhaps?) and roaches in the microwave oven light. I realize bugs are prevalent and customary due to the tropical climate but please ask housekeeping to check & clean this part of the microwave in future. Thank you for a wonderful three days. We were very comfortable and will return.

Great beach front home
A guest from Lake Oswego, OR recommends this property.
Stayed for 7 days in April, 2009
We enjoyed our stay in this very clean and well equipped home. It is a true ocean front! The owners very quickly responded to a no hot water situation. They take pride in their property.

Up close and personal with the ocean!
Dale K. from Pierrefonds, PQ recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in March, 2009
If you want to experience being up close and personal with the ocean this place is for you. During our short stay we heard and felt the waves crashing against the rocky shore all day and all night which is truely a unique experience. Perhaps on calmer days the ocean is more soothing. The location is quiet, except for the ocean, and is just a short drive from Hilo. It is excellent for travel to the Volcano National Park and the active lava flow viewing site at the end of highway 130. The management is very accomodating should any problems arise and I have no hesitation recommending Hale Ehu Kai. Thank you for a wonderful experience that we will cherish.

The only complaint I had was that the property manager's voice mailbox was full for a couple of days and could not reach them. But when making reservations, they were very accomodating and pleasant to deal with.

A fabulous house
Jerry F. from Howey-in-the-Hills, FL recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in February, 2009
One word describes Hale Ehu Kai: Fabulous. Fabulous accommodations. Fabulous setting. Fabulous nearby siteseeing. The house is a perfect launching pad for a tour of the beautiful Big Island. You can come home after a long day of touring, cook dinner in the spacious kitchen, soak in the hot tub and enjoy the waves crashing against the seawall, take in a DVD and then snooze in a comfy bed. One could not ask for more.

Terrific house for the wet side
A guest from Fairfax, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 6 days in February, 2009
The house was wonderful, well taken care of, spectacular view right on the ocean. The owners have done a fantastic job of creating a lovely vacation home. The down side for us was the weather and somewhat the location. Wild wind and rain a good portion of the time. The immediate surrounding neighborhood was nice, but it felt like one didn't have to go far to get to some pretty run-down sketchy areas with some fairly sketchy characters. If one was looking for total privacy and relaxing time with no regard for weather, then this place is ideal. The hot tub on the deck was great, a huge plus. My favorite thing that we did in the area was to go to the Kapoho tide pools and snorkel. WOW! That was the best snorkeling I've ever experienced...unbelievable coral and beautiful fish! Also it was great to have Volcano NP so close. We had a great day there and it didn't rain!

Cold and Damp
Otis & Brenda B. from Irvington, VA does not recommend this property.
Stayed for 9 days in January, 2009
It would be much more comfortable if the house had an air conditioner and heater to remove the dampness and warm the house during the winter months. The temperature remained mostly in the upper 60's and it rained every day that we were there. Even a window unit in each bedroom would be helpful. The house was cold and damp the entire nine days we were there. One of us ended up getting sick as a result of the cold and dampness. We would not recommend the Hilo side of the island. Kona is much nicer.

Happy Sounds
Jack & Susan H. from Albuquerque, NM recommends this property.
Stayed for 7 days in December, 2008
Aloha,If one enjoys the sounds of the ocean, waves crashing against rocks, this is the place for you!! The sound is just heavenly to my ears. I recorded the sound on my recorder, so that I can listen to it here in the middle of our high desert. The sound just lulled me to sleep each and every night.The house is very clean, decorated nicely and very well equipped with all our needs met. I was able to cook our Christmas dinner, including a small turkey without any trouble. The owners have thought about making it easy to live here for a while, rather than only thinking of it as a short time place to stay. It is also very nice that there are new and up to date DVDS to watch. Other places that we have stayed only have one or two paperbacks and that is about it. These folks have it set up as a place to call home for your stay. The other nice thing was that there was internet, included. My daughter was able to work on a class while she was there, which was very good.We have stayed at this house twice now and it is the best house. It is also very nice that the house is so very H/C friendly. Using one of the plastic chairs from the lanai, my husband was able to easily use the shower. Whenever, we are on the Hilo side of the island, I hope that this house is available. It is the best. It sure makes you want to tear up your return tickets and stay forever.I found the neighbors to be very friendly and helpful, too. The location of the house is not that far from grocery shopping either.At Christmas time, the little Christmas tree is nice. What a treat, after a long trip from the mainland to be welcomed into a beautiful little house with lights on, a fresh loaf of banana bread, a bowl of fresh fruit, and beautiful flowers. It sure made us feel welcome!!Happy New Year to All!!Susan Hudson

Hale Ehu Kai 'Home from Home in Paradise'
Debbie L. from Telford, NA recommends this property.
Stayed for 5 days in November, 2008
This vacation rental was exactly as described. It had all the amentities of home and couldn't have been closer to the ocean. We fell asleep each night to the sound of the waves. The owners had thought of everything and provided it, even down to flash lights essential for lava night viewing. Sharene & Sue at Hawaii Vacation Rentals where extremely helpful and made the reservation process easy to conduct via Email. We hope to return again to this property.
