We were fortunate enough to spend 10 days at Hale Hoʻolana. I can say, without a doubt, all of the positive reviews are spot-on!
The house is located right on the bay and offers some of the best snorkeling we have ever experienced! Nothing will ever come close to being able to swim with wild dolphins or manta rays... all right there with the right timing! While the neighborhood is a bit off-the-beaten track, it is also walking distance to some cool locations (i.e. Manini Beach, Hikiau Heiau, Kona Kay's Mac-Nut fruit stand)
The house is new, spacious, and well-equipped. We also really appreciated having A/C in the bedrooms. The wrap-around porch is just great... you can watch all the bay action while lounging with your morning coffee or evening cocktail. The house does come with many rules, but I imagine this to be usual for similar rentals in area to preserve the peace of the neighborhood.
All in all, a fabulous time and I hope we're lucky enough to come back!
