We had the most amazing time at Hale Ho’olana! The house is right at the Kealakekua bay overlooking the bay where you can kayak and snorkle. The view from the deck is so beautiful and serene. The kitchen is well stocked and the furniture is comfortable. There are plenty of towels, beach towels, and beach necessities, and great deck furniture. We were there for almost a month, and we were very happy with our choice. About 100 yards away is Manini beach which we enjoyed very much. The Manini beach caretakers, Sandy and Barry were very friendly and shared local history with us, and KonaKay who runs the fruit stand nearby is a nice and hardworking lady, and we bought her home grown fruits and macadamia nuts several times during our stay. The neighborhood is quiet and has a local feel. If you want to be close to restaurants and shopping centers, this place is not for you. But, if you are like us, you will love it.
