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.

Comfortable, clean, well-stocked

It was such a pleasure for our family of four plus an extra college student to stay here. Everything was clean and bright, everyone had individual climate controls in their rooms, and the kitchen was so well-stocked with just about anything a person could need. The property manager was so helpful and easy to work with. Mahalo!

Delightful bungalow

We loved our stay here for 4 days of beach days and dinners on the grill. Did yoga on the deck every morning- and watched the sun set. Delighted in the outdoor shower. Beach chairs, cooler bag. 1 snorkel mask with 2 fins. Communications were seamless. We loved sharing the family neighborhood found it quiet and comfortable. The outside area is very peaceful and the house is well appointed for cooking. Can’t wait to return!!

Great spot north of the busy spots, and conveniently close to both Waimea and the northern beaches. The outdoor patio spaces made the stay amazing - fenced and with varying amounts of shade was perfect for kids (and adults!). Host was very responsive.

Neat Decor

Overall, a nice place to stay. But there were some electrical quirks—nothing major. Neighborhood not very appealing. For older guests, there really needs to be a handrail to go up to the view deck. It isn’t safe for anyone with any mobility issues. We weren’t able to use the deck at all after going up there once, so we saw no lovely sunsets. But very cute living area. Tiny bathroom. AC was a big plus!!

Good views and Cozy Property

The check-in was straight forward with ample supplies provided. Was one of the most well stocked with utensils in the kitchen, toiletries as well as ample spices. Furthermore, it has beach supplies namely chairs, umbrellas, towels and boogie boards. The house itself had a fantastic backyard with an upper and lower zen like deck with a water feature. Loved the outdoor shower too. The home was well decorated and property manager, Joe, was on top of everything and very responsive. Only consideration is the location, will need to drive everywhere. Although, that pretty much applies to all places on the Big Island unless you are staying at resort. Would highly recommend this site!

Family of 4 with two teens

This place was perfect for our family of 4! We left early in the morning most days and came back at dark to relax and enjoy the backyard. We grilled almost every night and enjoyed the absolute privacy that this place offered. Management was great and communicated with us during our trip. We couldn’t have picked a better place! Thank you

Charming bungalow

A little jewel away from the crowds. This place has everything you need. Small but comfortable for my family of 4. We loved catching a sunset on the deck and sitting in the outside oasis-just as pictured. Management checked in just before arrival and was receptive to one text on wifi. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect!

This property was perfect for our family. We explored the entire island and this was a great comfortable, quiet and well stocked place to call home. The lanai was fantastic, and so much thought was put into setting up this home for guest. We didn’t need a thing but, appreciated being checked on during our stay.
