About this property

Spacious, Super Views, Sunsets Galore, Pool! - 30 DAY MIN ~ Hale Kohola

There is a 30 Day Minimum Rental is Required for this property. Hale Kohola, “The House of the Whale” is situated on 3 acres in an ideal location on the Kohala Coast, with panoramic views of the ocean and coastline. The master bedroom has a stunning ocean view that you can enjoy by just lifting your head off the pillow. If you are looking for a clean, quiet, spacious place to relax with friends or family, or a home base for day trips or ocean activities at nearby Kawaihae and area beaches, this is the one. 

Furthermore, the home is now solar powered and includes an A/C unit in the living room.
This 3 bedroom / 3 bath home sleeps six, including the “ohana” studio with futon sofa-bed, which is connected by walkway to the main house (perfect for a family member who craves their own space). The open floor plan allows privacy for the bedrooms, which are separated by the living areas. 

The well-equipped kitchen is well planned for socializing and looking at the ocean while you prepare meals.  Enjoy your morning coffee or watch the sun go down from the wrap-around lanai. The elusive “green flash” at sunset has been seen countless times from here. The dark night sky is incredible for gazing at the stars and planets. The quiet neighborhood is a perfect place for a morning jog or walk. There’s even a ukulele to play. 

Hale Kohola is a rare find for privacy, beauty, natural quiet and Island Living. Guests are welcome to pick limes, tangerines or bananas on the property, (in season) and enjoy the fragrant plumeria and Tahitian gardenias. The landscaping focuses on species native to Hawaii, including a few endangered species.

During humpback whale season (November thru April) the spouts and breaches of these massive animals are visible from the house.  The owners make their home in a small town in Alaska, spending part of the winter on the Big Island enjoying the local foods, culture and ocean and doing whale and dolphin research with the non-profit Hawai'i Marine Mammal Consortium.

Fully equipped; comfortable and clean, you will find Hale Kohola to be the perfect retreat for your dream vacation in Hawaii.

Lovely spot!
A light and breezy home in a quiet area with gorgeous views over the ocean and easy access to great beaches and both Waimea and Hawi. We had a great time waking up to views of the ocean from bed each morning and watching sunset from the lanai each evening. The house had everything we needed, including extra water bottles to borrow and reclining chairs that were perfect for star gazing. (The stars are amazing!) It was just a great, great place to come home to at the end of the day. The house could use a few more teaspoons. :-) (There were only two.) But this is a very minor thing that affected us not at all. (There were lots of soup spoons.) A lovely spot!

Nice property — but it is a 2 bed/2 bath
We really enjoyed our stay. As two parents with a newborn, we had plenty of space and a beautiful view. Kohala is truly the best part of the island. The main house is very nice. The kitchen is well stocked and the rooms and bathrooms are great. I am giving it five stars because it worked for us. However, I agree with other reviewers that it is very misleading to say this sleeps six. It is a two bed, two bath house. The garage has a tiny room with the washer/dryer, a bathroom, and a futon. No one would want to sleep there. If I came expecting three rooms to sleep six, I would have been let down by the third room.

Why they chose this property

Ideal location for acreage, privacy, yet minutes to the ocean to launch our boat for whale watching. Great are restaurants nearby and a fish market. The most beautiful white sand beaches on the island are just 5-10 minutes away.

What makes this property unique

During her graduate work at the University of Hawaii, the owner got hooked on the beautiful Kohala Coast and met the close friends with whom she started the Hawai'i Marine Mammal Consortium. She and her husband make their home in a small town in Alaska for most of the year, and spend part of the winter whale season on the Big Island, enjoying the local foods, culture and ocean.
