Clean, well-equipped and great location for exploring the northern portion of the island. Host was easy to reach and responsive. Located in a neighborhood and away from resort vibe - perfect for us. Indoor space compact but functional. Good amount of outdoor space and upper deck a nice touch. Kitchen well-equipped. Bathroom small for more than 3 adults. Third bedroom with bunk beds also small but fine for kids. Spent a month here and really enjoyed it.

Very private and relaxing. Everything you need for a vacation. The location requires some driving to get to groceries and sites but the quality and the privacy of the property is well worth a few miles. Would totally choose this over a resort any day!

This bungalow was a perfect base for my family of four (including two young kids). Spacious, clean, peaceful and quiet, and stocked with everything we needed. An easy 7-minute drive to several perfect, beautiful beaches while also very convenient to shops, grocery stores, and restaurants in Waimea. The host was very helpful and responsive. We loved staying here!

Hawaiian Paradise Home Away from Home

This home was perfect! Joe was a great host and had the house ready for our arrival. Both indoor and outdoor space was comfortable and clean. The a/c and ceiling fans kept the temperature just right for sleeping at night. The upper deck has a view of the ocean and Hāpuna Beach was only a 10 minute drive away. My favorite was eating breakfast or relaxing at night in the private Lanai with a bubbling fountain that attracted song birds and frogs. This house was a home away from home and the icing on the cake to an amazing Hawaiian Vacation!

Great Location and Value!

The property was just as described - sparkling clean and well-appointed. The kitchen has everything you need and more for vacation cooking. Communication with the property manager was smooth and easy via text. The location is great - easy access to the resorts and beaches, as well as Waimea and points east. We had zero issues during our stay - would book here again without hesitation.

Perfect location for the best beaches

We enjoyed our three night stay at Hale Hapuna very much. The bungalow is in Kawaihae Village, 10-15 minutes or so from some of the most beautiful beaches on the planet, so the location can’t be beat. Hale Hapuna itself is clean, thoughtfully laid out, and quiet. The interior is beautifully decorated, and the exterior lanai and gardens are cool and shady with lots of seating and a water fountain to drown out any traffic noise. We didn’t really cook much but it seemed like the kitchen has everything you need for vacation meals. The bedrooms are somewhat compact but there’s lots of storage so you don’t have to trip over your suitcase all the time. The AC and ceiling fans kept the house comfortable, the washer/dryer was so nice to have, and there were plenty of chairs and umbrellas for the beach. The owner clearly put a lot of thought and effort into preparing this property and we were very comfortable during our stay.

20 Stars!! A Perfect Family Getaway!

My family had an outstanding stay at Hale Hapuna, it was truly perfect! The home had everything we needed for a relaxing and memorable vacation. We especially loved the outdoor living area, which was perfect for unwinding together, and the star gazing deck was an absolute highlight, so peaceful and beautiful at night. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would absolutely come back again. Highly recommended!

Beautiful home near Hapuna Beach

My sister and I had a wonderful stay at Hale Hapuna in Kawaihae. Very nicely appointed home with all the amenities to make it a very comfortable stay. The property manager very thoughtfully put on the AC before we arrived. Gorgeous view from the upper terrace. Look forward to coming back to this property.
