Unique location

Property was as shown in pictures. It is a bit of a drive from amenities and the town of Hilo so just be prepared before heading to the house. It offers a private and quiet area to relax. The hot tub was great at the end of the day. Wonderful views of the ocean and neat volcanic shoreline.

Great experience on the Volcano side of the island

Unique property right on the water with waves crashing in 24x7. Sunrise is worth waking up for. Kids had a blast and we got good use out of the pool and kitchen. We did a lot of activities within 2 hours of the house, highly recommend getting a tour guide for volcanoes national park to learn about all the unique details.

Waking up to the Pacific rolling rhythmically in the backyard, cooking in the well equipped kitchen, reading in the hammock, swimming. It was amazing!

Perfect Family Vacation Spot

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We’ve never had a better vacation than this stay at Hale Mar on the Big Island! The house is right in the ocean with waves crashing into the cliffs or rolling gently. The sapphire blue ocean contrasted with the lush green jungle is a colorful delight! We actually cancelled a couple of activities because the property is SO relaxing we just swam in the pool, soaked in the hot tub and genuinely enjoyed each others presence. Hale Mar and the staff at Salt Water gave our family just what we needed. Thank you!

We were very pleased with this property. The ocean front location is beautiful and we frequently saw turtles in the water in front of the house. Our kids enjoyed the pool and the hot tub. The property was clean and well-maintained. The property is professionally managed and the management team was very responsive.

Great vacation house!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed 6 nights with three kids (11, 9 and 6). We loved staying here. The pool was the perfect size for the kids to swim around safely and for us adults to cool off. Loved watching turtles in the ocean and drinking coffee in the hot tub. There is no AC so the house did get warm when the windows were closed but cooled off pretty quickly once opened up and sleeping with the sound of the ocean waves was great. Kitchen was nicely stocked, house was clean. We enjoyed exploring during the day then spending evenings at the house. It felt like our own little resort.

Pretty perfect

It was beautiful. Hot without windows open, but cooled off quickly. Small ants food get into a few things like food and tooth brush so put everything in sealed bags, but it definitely did not ruin our stay. Kids lived the pool and adults loved the hot tub. Can't beat the view!!

Beautiful and relaxing stay.

This house and the surrounding area are perfect if you are looking for a quiet, peaceful, tropical vacation. The house was clean and beautifully situated if you enjoy listening to the sound of the ocean (which we LOVE). The neighborhood was walkable and peaceful. We would stay here again and again.

Most honest review I can give

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: -25-30 minutes from Hilo, if you don't like driving to get anywhere, don't get this house. We were fine with that because we wanted a little more quiet and private.-Scenery out back is beautiful. Sunrises, waves hitting the rocks, and volcanic rock is really cool. The master has a really nice balcony with even better views than the yard. No beach close though.-Pool is small but clean and it was a perfect temperature for staying cool without getting cold. Hot tub was clean and nice.-(Visited in August) House was hot with no A/C and the fans are just not enough to keep air moving. The fans need to be upgraded to be bigger in the main room and higher flow in the lower bedrooms, in my opinion.-The windows and doors need to be fixed for being able to lock and close better. If it's all adults, not a big deal. But we had a 5, 3, and 2 year old. We ended up carrying a mattress upstairs to have them sleep in the large master on the floor because we did not feel safe leaving them downstairs. No A/C meant you need windows and doors open. Not ideal for young kids on the main level with the master upstairs, or at all if you're into your kids' safety in a place you're not familiar with.-The neighborhood isn't the best. It's also not the worst. There's a mix of nice places and complete junk. You're not going to feel like everybody is on vacation if that's what you're after. It's very much full of locals, which isn't a bad thing. It was quiet for us, no funny stuff seemed to be going on anywhere.-I usually don't have a problem with tech, but the TV is funky and in my opinion, a vacation house should have something that's easier and newer than what this probably is. We could not access some of the popular apps most people use and couldn't login to others.-Overall, the house is useful and comfortable enough. Plenty of open room and patio space to relax. The kitchen is fairly well equipped, could be a little better.-There is plenty to do around

Nice, clean property, but no air conditioning. Lawn service showed up on the best weather day we had, which placed limitations on outdoor enjoyment most of the day. Was not sure why they were scheduled while we were renting.

Great Memories

A fabulous location and home which met our requirements. We enjoyed our stay so much that we would like to return to continue our experience. The photos are accurate and describe the house better than words. The garden is thoughtfully landscaped providing a variety of plants and seating areas to encourage thoughtful serenity. The house is well equipped, however I suggest that the filthy fan kept in the bedroom closet be replaced or cleaned. The TV did not function even when following the instructions provided but we simply used our streaming device so it was not a problem. The hot tub only had jets functioning for two seating areas which worked out as it was just the two of us. The location is very good - 18 minutes from Hilo; 25 minutes from Volcano. Restaurants and groceries are 15-20 minutes drive. Overall it is a quiet neighbourhood. However, be very aware that the empty lot adjacent to the property is used as access to the shoreline by some shady characters who live out of their vehicle. We observed these unpleasant individuals daily when the weather was fine. Fortunately the weather worked in our favour and the wind and surf were high so the vagrant did not appear for the last few days of our stay.

Great location, needs new management

We stayed for a week, we loved the location. The management and housekeeping were very rude. We asked for a couple of towels, since there were only 1 per person. Housekeepers came over and requested to come in the house so they could verify how many towels were there, they also made remarks of "sometimes people say there are 4 people when there are more". Our cousin lives in Maui and came over for a night for my son's 2nd birthday. The jacuzzi went out, and management didn't respond for 3 hours, when they did they were not helpful at all. With this location you need the pool and jacuzzi to be functional. A lady came to clean the pool, went to the side and smoke a cigarette right next to open windows. Having a baby, we were very upset about that. Very unprofessional management, housekeepers and pool cleaner. For the amount of money, they made us feel unwelcome. Unfortunately, we won't be back here.
