My wife and I stayed at The Whale House for 10 days and it was absolutely wonderful! Tony is super friendly and an outstanding host. He reached out to us prior to our arrival and gave us many helpful suggestions, tips, and recommendations. Check in was easy and the property manager, Suzie was kind and welcoming and also gave us great recommendations! The house is located about 1 hour & 15 min from Kona International, so a rental car is essential. The drive to the house has beautiful views and once you get there, you won’t want to leave! First off, the view is incredible. It has a wrap around lanai, where we sat and watched the most amazing sunset every evening. The views at night are equally as beautiful. On a clear night, you will have perfect views of the stars and can clearly see constellations. The space offers a lot of seating indoor and out. The pool is phenomenal! Also has great ocean views. The best was coming back to the house for a dip in the pool after a long day of exploring the island. The house is well equipped with every appliance you will need. We mostly cooked our meals at the house, which was lovely. The neighborhood is residential and quiet. Nights are peaceful and the neighbors are friendly. We took walks around the neighborhood in the evening and loved walking up to the water.
If you do decide to venture out, the house is not far from a ton of great beaches, coffee farms, and national parks. The house is well stocked with everything you need for beach days including; snorkeling gear, beach umbrellas, beach towels, coolers, etc. I wouldn’t change anything about The Whale House. We loved our stay there and will definitely be back! I’ll be daydreaming about the ocean view from the lanai until then. Thanks to Tony for making everything so easy and convenient.
