Hale Kai Nalu - Oceanfront Luxury Home with Pool and Spa in Hilo

Aloha!

Welcome to Hale Kai Nalu (“home of the ocean wave”) - a perfect place to call home while you enjoy all that the magic that the Big Island has to offer.  Here, the everyday stresses will melt away and our Aloha-pace of life will become yours. Make our cozy and private oceanfront home yours while you vacation in Hawaii. 

Home Description 

It is a newer 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with a full kitchen, living-dining area, indoor laundry, and several outdoor living areas. The master suite is located away from the other bedrooms and includes a walk-in shower, his and hers vanities, and a soaking tub.  The 2 guest bedrooms and the guest bathroom are on the opposite end of the home. 

Lounge in the spacious custom in-ground pool overlooking the vast Pacific or simply enjoy a novel while relaxing on the deck. Soak in the hot tub with the stars above, the sounds of the ocean everywhere, and a nice cool glass of your favorite drink, after a long day of tropical adventure.

Views

The view from the property is very special – you’ll be treated to the drama of the waves, white fluffy clouds, beautiful sunrises and moonrises, passing cruise ships in the distance, and our version of backyard wildlife.  Sea turtles, dolphins, whales (November-May), and even the occasional manta ray can be spotted from the oceanfront.   Mynas, doves, cardinals, geese, great frigatebird, and other birds occasionally drop in for a visit and provide a source of entertainment.

Staying Green

At Hale Kai Nalu, we strive to be friendly to the environment. We have solar water heating, fluorescent lighting, and energy-efficient fixtures. Ceiling fans throughout the home and screened windows allow us to take advantage of the wonderful breezes to cool the home. We partner with a eco-friendly house keeping service to minimize the use of harsh chemicals. Finally, we recycle and make it easy for our guests to participate with conveniently placed bins.
