"Sitting on the moon at the edge of the ocean. Breathtaking is putting it mildly. Spectacular 100%. Enchanting to say the least. There really aren’t enough wonderful things to say about Hale Kai.

"This was our second visit to this beautiful vacation home and we loved it just as much as our first! The home is clean and so well cared for - the kitchen has all the amenities we needed to cook multiple family meals. We enjoyed the incredible views over coffee each morning… and the Kona Paradise hill makes for a great workout if you’re up to it!! Gregg is an excellent host, we can’t wait to return again soon… "

"Friendly and accommodating host even when we arrived super late. The Yurt was also so nice, the photos don’t do it justice, was super clean and a comfy bed. Great stay and affordable price. Would stay again. "

"Nice relaxing, rustic atmosphere, and great hosts!"

"The host was very pleasant and accommodating."

"The house accommodates 10 people, you do have some stairs and the wrap around deck is where we spent all our time. At the Big Island everywhere is a drive to get to, so plan accordingly. The home is clean and stocked with all kitchen and bathroom necessities including beach towels, coolers, for picnics, and beach toys! Host is available in person or by text at anytime to answer questions or concerns. Enjoy a relaxing vacation with Ocean views in Hawaii."
