This house is ideal for a group vacation spot. The house is symmetrical with 2 bedrooms & a bath on opposite sides of the house and a common kitchen / living area between. We booked it for 4 people (2 couples) and it was cozy but still private. The large covered porch around the entire house extends the space and is perfect to sit, relax, and lookout over Kealakekua Bay.
The kitchen is well stocked for making your own meals, which we did. The little neighbourhood does not have any shops, restaurants, or grocery stores. But there are several options to eat out once you climb the hill to the main road.
The most amazing thing about this house is the location. If you have any interest in snorkelling or scuba diving, you will love this spot. The bay is a marine conservation area with plenty of coral and sea life. It was common to see spinner dolphins frolicking from the porch. There are also several sea kayak operators in the neighbourhood and you can cross the bay to the Captain Cook monument.
I don't know if we were just lucky, but the sea was really calm with hardly any surf so getting in and out for snorkelling at the park around the corner was a breeze.
We will have many fond memories of staying at Hale Ho'olana.
