What an amazing stay we had at the Hale! As soon as we turned onto the gravel road leading to the house, and saw the view and the grounds, we knew we had made a great decision to book this property. It was a perfect “home” for our almost three week vacation. Cozy and comfortable, with everything we needed (lots of towels, soap, paper goods, beach chairs, etc.) As many other reviewers have mentioned, the sunrise view you wake up to in the primary bedroom is spectacular! And the bed was incredibly comfortable. We also loved the lanai - even when raining, it was a great place to sit and enjoy the sound of the ocean or rain and breathe in the fresh air. Steve is an amazing host - he always responded so quickly to my messages and offered great recommendations for things to do in Hilo. Thank you for a great stay!!
