We live on the other side of the island and often come to Kona-side for a few days of beach time. We have stayed at many vacation rentals and hotels in Kona and Waikoloa. Iwalani Hale puts them all to shame. Toby is the kind of host you would expect of someone who has spent his whole life on the island: friendly, helpful, chill, and accommodating. The home, furnishings, and yard are all beautiful. It's super close to Kailua Town but quiet at night. There are plenty of places in the house and on the lanai where you can hang out, read, take a nap, or just stare at the spectacular view of the ocean. We hope to go back soon. Thanks Toby!
