Whale House is special in so many ways - the sunsets, the views, the fantastic pool, the space, and finally the location - Miloli’i holds a special place in my partner and I’s heart. It’s secluded and tucked away (the drive down isn’t so bad so long as your first time isn’t after dark)!
It’s the last ancient Hawaiian fishing village that’s left, Miloli’i is a slice of old Hawaii, a time before brand name resorts, a faster pace of life, and all of the headaches that come along with it sometimes. It’s heart beats on island time, and the drive down makes you slow down too, appreciate the little things and just enjoy!
The property itself is clean, inviting and you’ll end up spending most of your time here either out on the lanai overlooking the Pacific Ocean and watching fisherman go out and come back while hoping to spot a whale or two while you do it (if the season is right)! Or, you’ll be pool side with a good book, plenty of sunscreen, and enjoying the view from there along with a wonderful breeze.
The house is well equipped with everything you could need. We slept in the bedroom looking out on to the ocean the first night on the queen size bed, but we both wake up early, so the rest of our trip we opted for the king size bed looking out onto the mountain/the road you drive down on.
The house also has plenty of island themed decorations and well cultivated artwork for you to enjoy as well.
Tony provided some fantastic recommendations, one of which is Miranda Farms. It has some of the best coffee on the island that and that’s saying something when you’re on an island known for its coffee!
Suzie was also a pleasure, she met up with us on our first day a little while after check in as we were getting settled to make sure we didn’t have any questions and to let us know she was just up the hill should we need anything!
All in all, it was a fantastic way to spend a week of our vacation and time on the island! Mahalo again Tony and Suzie! 🤙🏼
