Hale A Kai
Hale A Kai by Gather or Home by the Sea translated from Hawaiian, is nestled at the end of a quiet neighborhood cul de sac. This recently updated four bedroom, four bath home, is aptly named due to its proximity to the ocean, located just minutes away. The island-inspired decor and bright colors of this accommodation make it the perfect home base the next time you’re visiting the Big Island of Hawai’i.
A large driveway, able to accommodate up to four vehicles, along with pleasing tropical landscaping greets you as you pull up to your Big Island vacation rental. As you step inside, the open-concept living space is vivid and inviting, with colorful island-inspired art pieces hung along the walls. The kitchen contains stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher, and ample cabinet space that holds all of the tableware and utensils you need to prepare a proper meal. The window above the kitchen sink provides bursts of sunlight that illuminate the space, and the ceiling fan offers substantial airflow to keep you cool while you’re cooking. Enjoy your meals in the cozy breakfast nook, or spread out at the massive dining room table adjacent to the living room. The bright paint colors add to the beachy ambiance of the living room, with its welcoming furniture and large flatscreen TV. Sliding glass doors bridge the indoor living space with the outdoor patio, with more than enough space to gather for a BBQ and dining al fresco.
The primary bedroom comes complete with a King-size bed, access to a sizable outdoor lanai, as well as its own well-appointed ensuite bathroom with double sinks and a shower/tub combo. The second and third guest bedrooms both have plush King-size beds, as well as their own private ensuite bathrooms. The fourth bedroom is perfect for kids, containing two Twin-size beds with a bathroom nearby. All of the bedrooms are equipped with air conditioning with 4-hour timers and ceiling fans, ensuring your comfort on those balmy island nights.
Hale A Kai is stocked with beach gear for snorkeling, bodyboarding, and relaxing on the beach, including a beach cart with wheels to make carrying all of your things to the nearby beach effortless. When you return to your accommodation after a fun day in the sun, clean-up is made easy when you rinse off in the lanai’s outdoor shower, and throw your swimsuits and towels into the washer/dryer in the garage. Spend the evening sprawled in front of the TV, or use the home’s free WiFi to send the day’s best photos to friends and family back home.
Hale A Kai’s ideal location on Kailua-Kona’s bustling Ali’i Drive means that you’re close to dining, shopping, and people watching, but far enough away from the action to appreciate the serenity of this residential area. When you’re ready to explore, walk down Ali’i Drive to lounge on Magic Sands Beach, a mere five-minute walk from Hale A Kai. Then turn around and make your way up Ali’i Drive, where you have the opportunity to search out cultural wonders like Moku’aikaua Church, the first Christian Church in the state, or Hulihe’e Palace, where royalty once resided.

Beautiful!!
by Jennelle CraneThis was a great home for our large family. The neighborhood is peaceful, the home, comfortable. We were there for Halloween, so the kids had fun giving out fruit snacks to the few trick or treaters we had. We didn’t discover the switch outside one of the upstairs bedrooms for the whole house fan until the day before we left. That was a game changer for the ground level temperature. Haha!!
We’re so glad the home was a perfect fit for your family, Jennelle! It sounds like Halloween was a fun experience with the kids and that switch deserves a sign that really stands out, which is something we can work on for future guests! We at Gather would love to welcome you back for more family memories.
This property is in a perfect location. Just a quick walk to the beach and to the trolley that takes you into town where you can shop and find any restaurant/bar. The home is clean and can fit your whole family very comfortably. Highly recommend renting this place for your next family adventure!

We had a wonderful family vacation at Hale A Kai. There was plenty of sleeping space for our extended family of 7 adults and 2 small children. The house was well equipped and had ample beach gear and equipment. Easy walk to Magic beach. Minor items of missing dust pan, lack of cleaning instructions for spa and could have more seating in living room but overall great experience and would come again. Mahola.

Week stay work trip
by PAT CAmple rooms and bathrooms for large party. We enjoyed our stay
Great place in which we all fit comfortably
by Nicolas CWe enjoyed our stay and would stay here anytime
by Eliel ABeautiful house and location. Excellent host
by David BGreat location. Excellent host
by Emily Marvin WIt was a pretty nice stay for our first time in Hawaii!
by Jennifer OIt was a pretty nice stay for our first time in Hawaii! Plenty of sleeping space for everyone! Plenty of towels, too! The A/C in each sleeping room was phenomenal! No A/C downstairs in the kitchen/living room space so it got pretty hot when cooking meals. However, the ceiling fans and having the doors open helped! The kids enjoyed playing corn-hole and running outside in the yard! The location of the house is quiet and very peaceful and the beach is 3 minutes away!
Definitely recommend
by Melissa MWondering home for a great getaway. My friends and family loved this home. We have little ones and they had a blast. Definitely recommend
Great location. Working bedroom A/Cs were much appreciated! Very clean and well stocked! Loved our stay!
by Eileen MNice getaway home!
by Deb ZConveniently located to the beach but offered privacy! Clean and spacious. We appreciated having basic supplies available and toys to play in the ocean that was within walking distance. Highly recommend for family gatherings!
Overall, we had a very nice stay and felt comfortable
by Leland SLocation is centrally located to shops, restaurants and beaches. The house was clean and beds were comfortable. Kind of wish there was another TV or 2 but we slept 11 people, including kids very comfortably with beds to spare. Bedrooms are large and bathrooms were a plenty making it very easy for multiple people to shower, etc. The jacuzzi and outside shower was a nice bonus. Kitchen had plenty of pots, cookware and utensils to use. My only complaint was no bath mats inside the tubs. Trying to shower with my 1 year old daughter was tough not to slip and fall on her or fall while holding her. Overall, we had a very nice stay and felt comfortable.
Family anniversary celebration.
by Beth BSo much to say. The kitchen is well stocked - everything you could need is there. Well, we did go to Good Will and got a slow cooker. The entertainmnet supplies and beach equipment was nice. Previous guests didn't always clean up the sand. Hopfuly we left it better than we receied it. Management was quick to assist us when we needed it. This home is well equipped if you're traveling with little children. I definitely would recommend this for a group or family gathering.
Sweet house in a nice location
by Ben PSweet house in a nice location. Seating outside, shower in the side yard, house fan, A/C in the bedrooms, all really nice. Highly recommend Kahalu'u Beach Park just down the road for easy snorkeling.
Great location
by Lucia RGreat location. Quick walk to the beach. Quiet neighborhood. Big place for a big family
Perfect location and house for a vacation
by Delfin RPerfect location and house for a vacation. Well accommodated with a number a beds, grill, garage, and full kitchen. Enjoyed every moment we stayed there. Would highly suggest and recommend this place again for fun and eventful vacation.
Amazing and beautiful home
by Rachael CAmazing and beautiful home. 9 of us total and plenty of room and beds. We had a disabled grandmother who could easily get around the main lower level. A little bit of a walk to the beach to far for disabled but easily done with young kids. Great hot tub in private area in back yard. We would come back again
Hale A Kai was perfect for my family's vacation
by Kevin C
Hale A Kai was perfect for my family's vacation. They leave a good starter package of essentials, and there seems like there's even more sleeping room than advertised! Perfect location to see everything Kona has to offer. Would definitely stay again.
Great place to stay in Kona!
by Kim PGreat place to stay in Kona! I was here on a work trip and perfect for myself and two co-workers as we had our own room and bathroom. Great water pressure in the shower. The property is right off Ali'i Drive which was great for my morning runs. There are bike lanes so running was easy and beautiful to be running next to the ocean. The location was a great base for us to venture off to many activities. Waikoloa Village was about 35 minutes away but if you are looking for an amazing beach, you don't have to go that far, you can visit Makalawena Beach was about 15 min away and well worth the effort to get there because you have to drive over a rocky road and then about a mile or so walk to the beach but the well worth it! Oh and there were plenty of beach towels which was great! I think 2 in each room. I am not a cook so I didn't really use the kitchen but I did use the blender and my colleagues used the coffee maker. One thing to note about Kona, don't think because you don't see any police cars, you can speed! We saw plenty of cars stopped for speeding by unmarked police cars. I learned that police offers have the option of using their own personal vehicles so watch out! Don't hesitate to stay here if you need to base yourself in Kona! Kim
Great house and location!
by Karen CGreat house and location! The house is perfectly situated in a cul-de-sac. Within walking distance to beaches both north and south on Ali’i street. I very much appreciated the amount of bedrooms and bathrooms since we were a party of 8. There was plenty of space for all of us. We also appreciated the supply of beach chairs, umbrella and mats for beach trips. The welcome gift of 100% Kona coffee was also a great touch. We would definitely stay here again!
We look forward to being back here again
by AntheaA real gem in a lovely, central and convenient neighborhood. Exactly what we had hoped for and more. Mahalo for a clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated space with all the necessary amenities to feel at home. Mahalo. We look forward to being back here again.
Great place to stay
by Santiago MGreat place to stay. Lots of room. A few upgrades needed but overall great stay. few minutes to the closest beach by car. You can also walk but don't recommend. Safeway, Walmart, Starbucks all within a short driving distance. Short driving distance to pier area and local shops. Free public parking limited and have to get there early morning to grab spot. Recommend parking at Marriott paid parking, it's 25 dollars for entire day. Across from Marriott hotel is a nice little rental place for beach equipment, plus the Gals are extremely nice. Lots of things to do if planned out right. The rental house has 4 bath and showers which was great so you and your family don't have to wait. Plenty of towels and sheets. Equipped with mostly everything you need. Recommend you take a inventory of everything that is there (spices, oils, garbage bags, etc) before going shopping. Just save you time having to make an extra trip to store. Overall it was a nice place and I would stay there again. Price a little steep especially when you are only there half the time.
Family vacay to celebrate Moms 60th
by Mark MVery close walk to Magic Sands beach. Lots of beach towels, snorkelling stuff, boogie boards, etc for the beach. We enjoyed our stay! Worked well for 4 couples, everyone had their own space. Suggestions for improvement would be adding another fridge for beverages etc for a group of 7 adults it would have been well used! We made things work but noted this would have improved our experience. We were asked to do several loads of laundry to get the towels started but were only supplied with 2 laundry pods. Information on where to recycling would be helpful. We googled and found a place but info on what to do and where To go would be appreciated ❤️ All in all a wonderful stay and we will be back!
Hale a Kai does not disappoint!
by Britton WWe had an incredible time at Hale a Kai. Perfect for families. We made big dinners and enjoyed the yard games and hanging out on the lanai in the evenings. Perfect spot to vacation like a local in comfort and style. Great location, just off the Ali’s, close to beaches, shops, and short drive to just about everything in Kailua Kona. Easy contactless check in and super responsive team. Highly recommend!
Was a great place to stay for our big island vacation!
by Chase BWas a great place to stay for our big island vacation! Quiet at night for good rest. Quiet during day too. There is 2 pack and plays. 2 strollers a high chair. Coolers a wagon to haul beach gear. And a ton of beach gear!!! Chairs boogy boards, coolers. Sun shade umbrella. Flippers for snorkeling. All you really need are your clothes.
50th Wedding Anniversary
by Gary MVery clean well laid out floor plan. Nice master bedroom downstairs for us old people and 3 nice bedrooms upstairs. Master and one upstairs bedroom had a sofa bed, so property could have easily accommodated 12. Near the airport and shopping. Only negative would be the solar hot water heater. With 9 adults and a baby returning from the beach at the same time, hot water went very quickly. We had to learn to space showers out. There were lots of toys and amenities left in the garage for our use. They were appreciated.
Beautiful and convenient location! We had a great time! Big bedrooms for multi family trips with kids. Would stay here again!
Great place
by Miztly CNice Big House
by Debra SHouse was exactly how it was described except there is a all house attic fan which helped to cool off a hot house. And a new hot tub which wasn’t in the ad either. We had some plumbing issues also but they addressed it promptly.and had it fixed. All in all our stay with our family was extremely nice and we were all comfortable
There’s is single ac units in each room and there are sufficient rooms and bathrooms for a family of 8. The beach supplies provided and laundry and washer were extremely helpful to our trip. A beautiful snorkeling bay is less than a 5 minute drive away from this house.
