We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Whale House in Milolii. Our itinerary likely differed from some folks as we were there on our honeymoon, but it's a great location if you're looking for a quiet place to relax and also as a jumping off point to numerous other adventures. For us: Day 1, relaxing at the house and did a loop around the neighborhood; Day 2, trip to Punaluu Bake Shop and The Botanical Gardens in Hilo; Day 3, swimming and relaxing at the Whale House; Day 4, Day tripper to Hookena Beach and lunch at Big Jakes in Captain Cook; Day 5, another hangout day at the Whale House and day tripped to Honomalino (short hike from Milolii Village Park); Day 6 paddleboarding and swimming in Kona (Kona Boys rentals at King Kamehameha Hotel) and swung by Kealakekua Bay on the way home; Day 7, breakfast at the Coffee Shack in Captain Cook (awesome), full day bodysurfing/beaching at Hapuna Beach (incredible) and to cap it off, dinner at Roy's in Waikoloa Village (supreme). House was spotless and well equipped with comfortable beds and indoor and outdoor furniture. Pool was awesome and received use on a daily basis and if you are primarily eating in (as we were) you'll find everything you need to prepare awesome meals. We're looking forward to our next trip back to the Whale House--awesome!
