About this property

Direct OCEANFRONT, Custom Polynesian Design, See WHALES & DOLPHINS, Sunbathing

Welcome to @haleromantik!
On the Big Island of Hawaii, we are located at sea level in the last fishing village of quiet, rural Milolii on an ancient lava flow, with lava coastline.

Located 33 miles south from Kailua-Kona, we are just a short 63 miles to Volcano National Park.

Approximately 1-1/2 hours drive south from the Kona International Airport. The road from the highway to my home has many switchbacks. It takes a while to meander down the hillside to get to my home.

We are equi-distant between many popular tourist sites located on the Kona Coast side of the Big Island, i.e. Kealakekua Bay, Place of Refuge, Kahalu'u Black Sands Beach Park, Honomalino Bay, Punalu'u Black Sands Beach Park, Volcano National Park, to name a few.

OCEANFRONT Hale Romantik' on the Big Island of Hawaii, South Kona Coast is located just 40 feet from the ocean. Feel the beauty, sound and excitement the Blue Pacific brings to you. When the high surf impacts the cliff below, causing and occasional surge, sending a fine spray all the way above the deck, it makes a shaking sensation to the house in a surprisingly pleasant manner.

You will not have to look for the whales. You will hear them! And then look! There are also Spinner Dolphins, Green Sea Turtles and occasionally Manta Rays all year long. The waters in this location are considered some of the best KAYAKING and fishing grounds in Hawaii. Snorkeling equipment and Kayaks are also available for your use, on the property.

This oceanfront home has open beam ceilings throughout the house, adding to the sense of space; great for air circulation and a true feeling of Polynesian design with the exotic beams and designer palm fans dramatically displayed above. Italian porcelain tile throughout; simply a pleasure for your stay.

The home has all amenities, including a 500 sq. ft. lanai. Large expanses of windows and sliding doors, connect the home to its ocean views, allowing you to view the ocean from nearly every room, even from each bedroom. Every night you will watch the sun set below the horizon.

This oceanfront home is simply immaculate and fully equipped. Has all what you need including a George Foreman Electric Grill. We cater to the particular!

The home has two deluxe bedrooms with open ceilings for airflow but also sound will carry from room to room. Two separate ensuite deluxe bathrooms with double vanities, with extra large porcelain sinks, and two separate walk-in tile and glass block showers is another highlight. No air conditioning, just the tradewinds to keep you cool!

Milolii is known throughout the islands for its deep sea fishing, and clear waters. The 'last fishing village' in Hawaii is just a 10 minute drive within the Milolii Beach Lots subdivision, where an approx. 15 min. hiking trail leading to a coconut tree lined black sand beach (Honomalino), offers fantastic snorkeling.

The village has a County boat ramp and camp grounds, and offers easy access for kayaking and deep sea fishing.

Milolii offers some of the most underdeveloped stretches of coastline on the Big Island, with secret beaches to explore. It's also a neighborhood with homes nearby.

Seasonal whale watching and Spinner Dolphins. Humpback Whales visit the Hawaiian waters annually from November through May. These endangered mammals enjoy the state's warm waters in the winter to breed, give birth and nurse their young.

Spectacular sunsets can be viewed directly from the oceanfront house. Have your camera ready! Milolii......'where the sun meets the sea', and everyone says hello!

Fabulous and relaxing time at Hale Romantik
My husband and I were looking for a relaxing place to stay after spending 5 days in Volcanos National Park, and this was the absolutely perfect spot! The location on the lava bluff was outstanding, as it was so relaxing and peaceful to sit on the lanai and look at the water and fish/dophins swimming by. The house facing west allowed us to enjoy beautiful sunsets every night. With the exception of a few day trips, we wanted to primarily relax and have all our meals at the house. This was easy to do, because the kitchen was extremely well equipped! The bathrooms were wonderfully appointed with all amenities. The bedrooms were spacious, and beds were comfortable. There were lots of good outlets for normal plug in and USB. Kirsten really seemed to have thought of everything to make the stay at Hale Romantik absolutely fantastic and so relaxing. We are already talking about when to come back during the winter to watch the whale migrating.

Beautiful spot!
We so enjoyed our time there and the peaceful neighborhood. We took advantage to hike several times into the nearby beach, through the village- a favorite memory! The home was spotless and had everything we need

Great Ocean Front Gem
Fabulous ocean front home with sweeping views of the water. Everything was great and the fridge even has a working ice maker. Special treat there if you like ice in your drinks. We did find the moisture in the air from the ocean caused all the dirt on the floor to stick to the bottom of your feet or socks but that was quickly remedied by having flip flops or sandals available. Saw whales, dolphins and even a shark swim by. Great place in a relaxing location.

Fantastic
A beautiful property and location. We loved our stay at Hale Romantik . Did not want to leave the lanai. We watched the whales everyday. What a wonderful time of year to visit. Looking forward to visiting again.

Excellent Property
The house we rented for a month was exactly as listed. Well appointed amenities, an ocean facing lanai that we lived on, and a view of the Pacific Ocean you have to experience to believe how fabulous it is. Pictures do not do justice to what you will have. Our host kept us informed of weather/tide conditions via text. The house was very clean with a well stocked kitchen, and the open air designed always insured a breeze throughout the house. We saw whales every day along with dolphins, flying fish, and sea turtles from the comfort of the lanai. We decided to cancel our Panama Canal cruise for next February and rebooked Hale Romantik. I highly recommend this property for a truly fabulous get-away vacation.
