Great
by Chris Bgreat spot!
This is the most incredible Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in! We absolutely loved the indoor/outdoor living — no AC was no problem at all with the breezes. The pool was perfect, and the ocean view was stunning. We watched the sunset every night! There were so many great spaces to hang out in, so we never felt like we were on top of each other. The fruit trees were such a fun bonus, and the whole property felt so peaceful. Highly recommend!
Spent 9 nights at this beautiful home. Exactly what we were looking for. Private, beautiful & the pool was amazing! Can’t wait to come back!
This place was absolutely stunning! We absolutely loved it. It was hard to get out explore Hawaii because we just wanted to stay and enjoy the house! It was the perfect spot for our family!
This home was an exceptional place to stay and had absolutely beautiful views. We felt right at home. The infinity pool was sparkling clean and the house and grounds were very well maintained. We had coffee and breakfast on the patio every morning. It was so relaxing we didn’t even want to eat out and cooked meals or grilled our dinners. Our host was responsive and very accommodating. There were large quiet ceiling fans in every room and gentle trade winds present. We will miss this place.

Great view. Beautiful sunset
We thoroughly enjoyed the home and the property. It's a beautiful view and setting and while it feels remote especially at night it really is convenient to beaches, restaurants, etc.
We really enjoyed our stay!
by Natálie KThe accommodation matched the description perfectly. The location was peaceful and quiet, ideal for relaxing. The highlight was definitely the infinity pool – stunning sunsets every evening! The kitchen was well-equipped, and the surroundings were beautifully maintained. We would happily stay again.
Wow!
by Marie CBAn amazing house with a great view. Everything was even more beautiful than the pictures. The house was well equipped, beds were very comfortable. The surroundings were just sublime with a sunset every night. Everything is set up inside and outside for a great stay.
Our stay at Hale Joli was amazing.
by Barry CThe location is perfect - ten minutes from food and shopping and also quiet and remote. Easy to get to Volcanoes, easy to get to beaches, and easy to get to Hilo. The house itself is stunning. Comfortable furniture both inside and outside the house. We had a great time hanging out by the pool in the mornings, heading out for a day of adventure, and then coming back to cook great meals and just hang out with the family.
Our stay at Hale Joli was absolutely perfect!
by Patience C.Our stay at Hale Joli was absolutely perfect! This house changed the way we will vacation from here forward. The location is perfect, close to amenities, but quiet and private. Very much a tropical retreat. Understated elegance is a perfect description. Being out on the expanse of lanai is like sitting in the tree tops and the view of the ocean and sunset is amazing. And we can’t say enough about the beautiful infinity pool! The kitchen is stocked very well, and there were plenty of chairs and other beach equipment for our use. The space was perfect for two couples. From the minute we made the reservation to the time of checkout the service we received was fast, responsive, and customer focused. We look forward to returning!
Highly recommend
by Jared IWe only stayed here for a few nights but were sad to go. The property is lovely, very comfortable bedrooms, great pool, sunset views from the lanai are superb! Highly recommend and would love to return some day!
Everything was perfect
by Jim M.Everything was perfect!
Absolutely perfect place for our family to gather!
by Dawn B.Absolutely perfect place for our family to gather! Beautiful location! It was absolutely amazing to be able watch each and every sunset from the infinity pool! The grounds were beautiful with recent additions of fruit trees…which meant we were able to pick papaya and oranges for morning breakfast! We are already planning our vacation back to the Big Island and hoping to stay here once again.

Thank you, Carey! We’re so pleased to hear that Hale Joli exceeded your expectations and transformed the way you approach vacations. The combination of its serene location, breathtaking ocean views, and the stunning infinity pool sounds like a dream getaway. It’s wonderful that the well-equipped kitchen and beach gear added to your experience. We’re also delighted our team could provide prompt and attentive service throughout your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back for another tropical retreat!
Beautiful location and home.
by Lauren H.Beautiful location and home. Use Google maps as we found Apple Maps isn’t as great in Hawaii. We swam in the pool day and night, enjoyed sunrises and sunsets from the deck. Grilled and cooked many home made meals and generally, just relaxed in this serene environment. Quiet at night - frogs, etc. can be heard - but little traffic or neighbor noise. Plenty of room for a family to spread out. Also, loved watching movies in the cozy sitting area. Overall this is an upscale location with lots of amenities. Walking around the neighborhood and property we also found lots of fruit, vegetables and scenery. Love that they have beach gear for use, plastic wear for the kids and bathtubs as well as showers. Beach and pool towels available and an absolute must was the onsite washer and dryer. Definitely recommend!
Amazing Stay
by Dillon L.This property was amazing! Understated elegance is how I would describe this property. We felt transported to a different place…and it was magical! Bedroom doors are accessed from the outdoors, which may be an issue for younger visitors, but was fine for our family! Close to town, yet feels remote and perfect. We will be back!
Thank you for choosing our property and sharing your experience! We look forward to hosting you and your loved ones again!

The perfect getaway vacation home!
by Kim DAbsolutely enchanting! We had the most wonderful stay on Big Island in this lovely home. We arrived to a most beautiful view of the sunset that we enjoyed from the lanai where we felt like gods and goddesses on our private mountain estate. Preparing an ono meal in this dream kitchen and cooking it on the grill was a wonderful experience due to the openness of the layout, where we didn’t miss a second of the light show outside. We watched the vibrant colors dancing in the sky as we ate as a family at the large table outside on the lanai. Once the sun went down, the air was comfortably crisp enough for a cozy fire around the firepit. The area feels wonderfully secluded in nature. When it was time for bed, we loved the unique layout of the outdoor hallway to each room, that gave every bedroom the same magnificent view in the morning. Our bed was so comfortable and the temperature so perfect, we slept like babies! In the morning we had a plethora of fruit trees to pick a delicious breakfast from….papayas, figs, oranges, and the best avocados I’ve ever had!!! No gym is needed as we got plenty of exercise exploring the property or using the provided yoga mats on their very soft lawn facing the gorgeous view of the ocean. Best of all, the location is central to the places you want to visit most often, so we didn’t spend a ton of time in the car to get to beaches, hiking, and shops, and still felt completely secluded snuggled within nature. We can’t wait to return to Hale Joli!!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review! We are so thrilled to hear that your stay on Big Island was an absolute dream come true. Our home is more than just another vacation rental; it is a private mountain estate where you can truly feel like gods and goddesses. From the kitchen to the lanai, we certainly understand why this wonderful experience would absolutely enchant you.
The panoramic view of the sunset from the lanai will take your breath away and make for some incredible memories. The openness of the layout of our home allows for plenty of room to move around while still keeping your eye on the breathtaking light show outside. And who could forget about cooking up a delicious meal in this dream kitchen, followed by enjoying that meal at the large outdoor table? Once the sun has gone down, nothing beats sitting around the firepit beneath all those stars with a warm cup of cocoa or coffee in hand - it's almost like you’re wrapped up in nature's embrace.
We're so happy that our home on Big Island made for a cozy and comfortable stay for you and your family, and thank you again for choosing us as your preferred vacation spot! We look forward to hosting you again soon!
