Hale Kai is in a wonderful spot, just a short walk from the beach, and a short drive (in Hawai’i, anyway) from Kailua-Kona town. We explored a lot of lovely beaches, made a day trip to Hilo, saw lava, and snorkeled and swam in the best places the Big Island has to offer. All were accessible from Hale Kai. A great home base to come back to, make a home-cooked meal and unwind. Great communication from both Kai and Gary, great house, comfortable and well equipped. We didn’t want to leave! Thanks!
