Absolutely stunning property with huge infinity pool overlooking the ocean. Serene, gated and private with beautiful and well-maintained landscaping. Exquisitely decorated home. Perfect spot to immerse in relaxation!

This house is one of the most beautiful homes we’ve ever stayed. Breathtaking views and beautiful interiors make this home a must for your vacation stay. The pool and jacuzzi are the highlight of this home. You can swim right up to the ocean’s edge. This was the first of hopefully many trips back to this home.

The pictures don’t do this home justice. It is so much better when you get to take it all in in-person. If you get the chance to stay, you have to. The home is perfect and the pool and outdoor area are breathtaking. It has an extra home also with bedrooms. It is perfect in every way. Staying here is a must.

Excellent ocean front for view and sound. The main house can sleep 4 if you don't value privacy. We didn’t use the second house so we have no comment. The hot tub would not heat when we arrived. It was quickly resolved the next day. I would recommend that people request that the hot tub be functional and heated up when you arrive, that way you will save time waiting for it to be fixed. Next morning the coffee pot wouldn't work. Long flight, no hot tube at night or coffee in the morning, no fun. The management was quick to respond. The views, pool and location are awesome.M

The pool is a engineering marvel. The house is great. Fully stocked kitchen. We all loved it here.
The guest house was nice and comfortable for two big people.
I would love to stay here again!
My only small complain was some pictures showed extra sleeping area in the ohana house that wasn't available.

This was a beautiful house to have as a base camp for our first time in Kona. I stayed here with my two teen kids and a friend of theirs for a week and really enjoyed all the property had to offer. Two separate houses gave us a little privacy, the amazing pool was a delight, the landscaping was gorgeous, and I swear I could spend all day staring at the ocean. I hope to return one day.

AVOID!!!!!This property literally had so much black mold and mildew in AC units that my entire family got sick and we had to spend time on the island sitting in doctors office. Was advised by 2 medical professionals when they saw pictures of the AC units that the rental was not safe and I needed to get my family out of the unit for their safety.Forced to leave unit 2 nights early and stayed with friends on the Island. Listed as having 2 working main house AC units, only one was working.
Entered property on 6/9 to an unbearably hot unit. Noticed windows open and AC off. Hoped that was it. Unit literally gets as hot as 95 degrees during the day.
Called CB Island Vacations and VRBO on 6/10,6/11,6/12, 6/13. Spent over 7.5 hours on phone and one full day waiting for repairs to hopefully be made and repair man never showed up. One AC unit ran non stop at 65 degrees and couldn't cool house during the day. Solution given to me on phone was for me to go purchase a floor fan and I would be reimbursed. When problems weren't resolved I found extension ladder to try to close windows. they were rusted and wouldn't close. Was also able to look at AC unit while on ladder. Filters looked like they had never been cleaned and there was so much black mold and slime in the unit I was alarmed. By Wednesday night I literally couldn't breath when in house. Went to minor med on Thursday morning for treamtement of exposure to excessive mold and mildew. Entire family is now sick with same symptoms.

We loved our time here. The location is unbeatable. The pool, hot tub, and slide were used everyday. My fiance and I decided to get married on the lanai while we were there!! We had a traditional Hawaiian ceremony at sunset and it exceeded our expectations. We saw whales and rainbows and no one wanted to go home. Highly recommend.
Only issues - the oven is older and the bake setting no longer works. The grill is also outdated and only 2 burners worked..it ran out of propane part way through the trip.

As has been stated the reality is even better than the pictures. We seldom left the property as it has everything one needs if seeking a relaxing vacation. Plenty of great whale watching right from the lanai. Amazing sunset views. Only had one minor issue to contact property manager. Propane in BBQ tank ran out and they responded immediately to have refilled.

This is the second time I have stayed in this home, absolutely wonderful place, great location with unbeatable views.
Can I suggest the owners do some updating. Lighting is not very good, bedroom fan only has one speed, and new air conditioner unit is extremely loud.
A couple slight, small but meaningful updates would go a long way for this wonderful home.

The pool & slide are amazing (Kids were taken back). The house had everything we needed. The towels were so great we ordered ones for our house. Location couldn't have been better, extremely quiet and secluded even though we did have neighbors. I would book here again in a heartbeat.

I loved every second of my stay at Hale Kaheka! Property is wonderful amenities are everything I needed and more! One of the best things that we enjoyed about this stay was the water slide all kids enjoyed it and even the adults let their inner child out and had so much fun!!! Great view at sunset !

Beautiful property right on the water - very clean - very relaxing. Exactly what we were looking for. The property has a few maintenance issues and is a bit dated but overall is exactly as described. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

We can’t say enough great things about our vacation and stay at Big Island Hale Kaheka. Our arrival brought breathtaking views of the ocean which were exactly like the photos (maybe better)! The property is enormous and well maintained and has a nice mix of outdoor shaded seating and sun areas. We would have liked sun chairs that fully reclined but the accommodations at the infinity edged pool overlooking the ocean were otherwise impeccable. Heading into the main house was equally impressive and beautifully maintained. This was the best stocked vacation rental I’ve EVER seen. We cooked every dinner at the house since it was so well provisioned and a pleasure to cook and watch our own private sunset each night. The main bedroom and bathroom were wonderful and the foldout sofas were both adequate for our 4 teenagers. It was nice to have 3 full bathrooms for the 6 of us and we never felt like we had to wait for bathrooms. The only minor issue we had was one of the gates did not work and could be pushed open from the street which made it feel a little less secure. Nonetheless, we will be back to this little slice of heaven and are already planning our next adventure since we ran out of time!

This property is incredible! Setting aside minor issues upon check-in, we settled in to an amazing few days and were sad to leave. This house is just as it appears - directly on the water, with a large clean pool and spa, plus a water slide. The spa heats up quickly and was so relaxing to use at night. And the infinity pool is huge! We spent hours every day enjoying these features. The home is also clean and located just a short drive from downtown Kona. We were sad to leave and are already talking about planning a return trip!

What a spectacular home! We spent an amazing 10 days there and were sad to leave. It was even better than the photos showed, which, in our experience, isn't always the case. It was also a terrific location - 25 minutes from the airport, 5 minutes from a great grocery store, 5 minutes to great surfing and a black sand beach, and 15 minutes from Kona and everything the town has to offer. The home had a great Hawaiian style with beautiful modern touches, and a fully-stocked kitchen that made it super easy to enjoy sunset dinners on the Lanai. The best part, though, was the pool, overlooking the ocean. Our kids went on the water slide (no joke) hundreds of time and we supervised from the hot tub. With it being ocean front, we laughed watching our kids have fun and at the same time watched humpback whales and dolphins play in the ocean a few hundred feet off shore. The few issues that arose were dealt with professionally and efficiently by the management staff. We will definitely be back in the future.

Great stay for our family vacation, my husband and I and our daughter and a nanny and my parents in law had just enough room to enjoy this property. One note to be aware of: is that sleeping space in main house assumes a close friends or family stay who don’t mind that there is a partial wall ( it’s an open space concept) between master bedroom and living room, somewhat limiting privacy, as you can hear everything. The property is in great location, is well kept, and managing team is very responsive to requests. Gorgeous pool, stunning views and complete tranquility! House has everything one may need in vacation.
Minor suggestion: the door on the dryer needs replacement, as it’s not easy to open it with a broken handle.

This property was amazing and even more spectacular in person than in the photos online. We enjoyed the privacy of the home and it was very well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. We spent most of our time in the pool, or on the lanai taking in the beautiful views of the ocean. We would love to come back and stay here again and would highly recommend this home!

We really enjoyed our stay on the Big Island!
This home was our home base and we enjoyed several days just staying close by and enjoying the property! We also explored the island and the location was perfect for day trips to the volcanos and beaches. Highly recommend.

This is our favorite vacation rental. We've stayed in many, and this property and location can't be beat. We've rented this place a few times and while the view, pool and slide are our favorite, not having enough actual beds is a downside...wish we still had access to the bedrooms (at least one of them) in the Ohana unit. As a family of 5, having some sleep on pull-out sofa beds is not comfortable, especially when paying a premium.

Great property, house is a bit older but well maintained, Linnea the property manager was very helpful and responsive, even allowed us to check out a couple hours later which helped a lot. Awesome location, close to everything but also not too close. If you love falling asleep to the sound of waves crashing on the rocky shore, you can't get better than this place.

My husband and I stayed here for 18 nights in February and had an overall wonderful time. The pool and the deck outside the main house are they key attractions. We saw lots of whales, spinner dolphins, colorful fish and even a turtle. The property was clean and has lots of amenities but there is one thing that is pretty misleading I think others should know about before booking. It says it has air conditioning in the main house and that's a bit of a stretch. There's a portable AC unit next to the bed but it's extremely loud so not practical to run at night. It was February so it wasn't too muggy so we slept with the sliding doors open. You can't lock the screen doors so that's a bit uncomfortable. The property is gated but if someone wanted to get in, they could. I think there needs to be a solve for locking the doors if you need to leave them open for airflow and better representation of what the AC conditions really are. If it were really hot, it would have been an entirely different experience due to lack of AC. With that said, we extended while we were there so it wasn't a major issue for us. There were some maintenance issues but the management team responded quickly and the issues were resolved in a timely manner.
