Hoku'Ea Hale

Overall a pretty good stay. We spent most of our time on the porch watching surfers, saw some dolphins and had a great sunset view! Made a few meals and used the grill once. After opening every window and turning all the fans up we were able to get the temperature down in the house and kept it pretty well vented the whole time. Enjoyed the hot tub and exploring the rocks. Furniture and appliances could use an upgrade. The gate to park is tricky to negotiate when returning to the property when the street traffic is high. Close to good snorkeling and a short drive to Kona.

It was a great experience! Elite was great, they got back to me when needed. We showed up slightly early and they were accommodating in letting us in. The house was great! The ocean was amazing. Of course kona is hot. So its always gonna be hot. AC would be great but i can see how it would be expensive. Overall. Great experience.

Two families enjoyed this property for a week. It's location was ideal -- evenings were peaceful and beautiful. There was enough space for everyone to spread out; deck was a good size with a large table to enjoy eating outside. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their stay.

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house with its fantastic location and plan to return to Hawaii, and especially to Kona next year; should 78-6640 Hoku'ea Hale be available, we'll certainly want to stay there again. We also very much appreciated the host's flexibility in our check-in and check-out requests.

This is a nice house and you can't beat the view! We had 10 adults and it was a bit small to accommodate everyone.

Our family had an amazing time. We snorkeled out the back of the house and hung out with the yellow tangs, had coffee each morning with the resident turtle(s), and watched the sunset. House was well stocked, clean and nicely decorated. We would definitely stay here again.

Stunning large home perched on the ocean, with a truly magnificent covered deck stretching from one side to the next. You can spend all day on the deck or in the backyard just a few feet from the crashing waves below, or you can make the short walk to Kahalu'u Beach and Magic Sands Beach nearby. Every room in the house has a stunning views of the ocean, and the kitchen is well-equipped and open to the living room. Great spot!

Lovely place, clean and stocked with everything needed for a vacation with family. Loved the lanai and amazing ocean views from every room in the house. Would definitely stay here again!

Neighborhood is quiet but also close to shopping, dining, and conveniences. We enjoyed sunrises and sunsets on the back patio as well as snorkeling. Would stay here again!

This was one of the most extraordinary AirBnBs that we have stayed at, and our family of 10 spent 4 days here. We appreciated the beautiful sunsets, eating dinner as a family on the verandah, the hot tub with a view, watching boaters and paddle boarders go by, the well stocked kitchen, and spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. We also really liked the quiet neighborhood location nearby Magic Sands beach where we swam with sea turtles, and convenient grocery shopping at KTA market next to Kona Stories, a wonderful independent bookstore. A few things to note: the surf is rough against the rocks, so my dreams of snorkeling from the house were not realized. We made a rule that the kids couldn’t go on the rocks without a grownup. The street is busy so it can be challenging to enter and exit from the driveway. As other reviews have mentioned, the house is not air conditioned, but we were comfortable with the ceiling and stationary fans provided. There were a few maintenance issues that I wish had been addressed prior to our rental, however Elite Pacific was responsive to fixing the most pressing issue over the 4th of July weekend.

Very nice house and beautiful lanai in backyard overlooking ocean. No AC but lots of fans, does get a little humid but the breeze is good. Spacious and very homely.

The location was spectacular! The furnishings seemed a bit over-worn, but overall the views and proximity to the beach and town were exactly what we were hoping for. Easy check and check out, and fantastic communication when I had any questions. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family.

We greatly enjoyed staying at this amazing property. This home helped make our Hawaii vacation so memorable. The home was beautiful, clean and the location was perfect. We loved it!

Lovely spacious home with enclosed yard for young children and great views, good snorkeling and the pools.

A treasure right on the water. Ocean surf noises will lull you to sleep. A beach with excellent snorkeling, protected swimming, and surfing lessons is just down the street. So many fish! And we did see the resident turtle(s) from the back deck. Dolphins were in evidence on several mornings. A broad lanai looks west, so sunset dinners need not be at a stuffy restaurant unless you like it that way. With 2.5 baths, we were not short on facilities, either. The kitchen is well-appointed. The management was attentive to our needs with quick response to questions. The check-in process was a breeze. A stay at this house will be a memory not easily forgotten.

Stunning views, convenient location, comfortably sleeps 10. great open floor plan in main living area. back porch runs the length of the house providing many seating options for enjoying the ocean view. sea wall access to lava rocks where you can see resident sea turtles in tide pools. only slight drawback is no AC. depending on time of year and ocean breezes it might be a challenge getting your bedroom a comfortable temp for sleeping.

All of us fell in LOVE with this property. It's such an ideal setting in Kona. Our favorite part was watching the sunset every evening from the back patio. Our teenagers loved the fact that it was only a short walk to Kahalu'u Beach Park where the snorkeling was fantastic! The bonus was the resident sea turtle we saw multiple days during our stay. With a 10% discount on return stays we will definitely be booking this property again!!

We love this place. Kitchen has everything needed for a serious cook. House was spotless. Walking distance to beach for snorkeling and water time. Great golf nearby. Groceries right up the hill. Would stay here again!

Beautiful views and great spot. Only downsides were a few things that weren’t quite as expected: no AC (which was okay but any hotter and would have been a problem), no bikes, surf boards/boogie boards, lawn games as described in the write up. Still super fantastic and I would highly recommend, but the equipment for activities for the kids was part of the reason I chose this location and that didn’t end up existing.

Would highly recommend staying here! The location is unbeatable and the house is right on the water. It is walking distance to beaches and other attractions in the area. The back deck is a wonderful place to watch the sunset, eat breakfast, or just hang out. Wish we had stayed longer.

My family and I had a great time staying at your property. It was so relaxing waking up to the spectacular oceanside view. The only thing that we wanted to comment on was the refrigerator wasn't working properly. It took awhile to get cold and some of our food got spoiled. We didn't notice it until the day we were leaving. Overall, we had an awesome time!

It seemed a little too good to be true from it’s description, but everything was as described. It was hard to want to go out to a restaurant since the roomy lanai was a better view than any restaurant on the shore of Hawaii could have. Outstanding snorkeling and surfing right off the lava rocks. The rocks were a little tricky to launch off and then to return on to due to the surf, but we got to be old pros by the end of the trip (tip: approach from the side, not straight on). Surf shoes are a must on the rocks above the high tide mark. The kitchen was well-appointed. Bedrooms and bathrooms were very nice. TV room was cozy. Would definitely stay here again. Aloha!

Great location and cannot beat the view. We even saw a sea turtle hanging out by the rocks when we arrived. Everything about the home was amazing. If there was AC, would’ve been even better but the ocean winds and ceiling fans helped cool down the house and we had comfortable nights sleep.

Used Elite Pacific Vacations to stay at Hoku'Ea Sunset Beach Vacation Rental House in Kona. The house was exceptional, and Elite Pacific Vacations did a great job. They were professional and there for us every step of the way when we needed them, especially going to extra mile helping us with an issue on our last day. Would definitely use them again.

LUSH GREEN YARD AND EXPANSIVE LANAI FACING THE PACIFIC MAKES FOR GORGEOUS SUNSETS AND MORNINGS. AND AT NIGHT, LISTENING TO THE SURF PUTS ONE RIGHT TO SLEEP. LOTS OF WINDOWS AND AMBIENT LIGHT. THERE WAS AMPLE ROOM FOR EVERYONE IN OUR FAMILY PARTY OF 8. ALSO, PROMPT, ACCOMMODATING, AND COURTEOUS RESPONSE FROM THE PROPERTY MANAGER WHENEVER NEEDED (NO REAL PROBLEMS FOR US, JUST A COUPLE SIMPLE FIXES). LOOKING FORWARD TO RETURNING AGAIN SOON. WE MET A COUPLE WHO HAVE BEEN RETURNING TO THIS SPOT FOR 30 YEARS. THAT SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT THE AREA.

Amazing property! Great views and awesome location! Clean and homey! Right on the beach, best vacation house to date!!!!!

This home was incredible. Our family of 5 - me and my husband, our two children (10 and 12) and my mother - loved our stay here. It was very clean, spacious, comfortable and the location can't be beat. We spent all of our waking hours on the lanai, which was more than we could ask for. Large, shaded, oceanside, relaxing... this is the primary reason we would stay at this home again. It is within easy walking distance to snorkeling and surfing. We will come back in a heart beat.

This is a beautiful property, inside and out, with a spectacular view of the Pacific! A pristine white sand beach with clear turquoise water, as well as many restaurants and shops, are in walking (or biking) distance. My family of four enjoyed our visit to the Big Island - Mahalo.

The house is amazing with its location right on the water and ability to snorkel and surf out the backyard. The house as well appointed with everything you need including snorkel, masks, fins, surfboard etc. No need to go to another beach while at this house.

Great property, good location, exceptional sunsets! The house was excellent. Spotless, all basics including coffee, water, etc. were there and ready. ZERO issues during our stay. Could not have been anymore pleased with the home. Location is good. The sunsets, water, ocean breeze was perfect. Access to Kona is close, about 3.5 miles, but traffic and construction make the drive about 15 minutes. Again, no issues. Access to the water is good, but don't expect to have an easy dive into the ocean. The lava coast and surf make entry/exit a bit challenging, but the water is crystal clear and full of fish! Management was excellent. Communication, special requests and general info and follow up was the best I have experienced renting a home in the islands! Highly recommend this company. The home sits on a busy road, so entry/exit at times is a bit challenging. Will go back for sure. This is a great spot...
