Discover Direct OCEANFRONT Luxury in Custom Polynesian Design on the Big Island of Hawaii

Welcome to your ideal retreat at @haleromantik, a stunning oceanfront property nestled in the tranquil fishing village of Milolii, located on the beautiful Big Island of Hawaii. Situated just 40 feet from the ocean's edge, you can immerse yourself in the breathtaking views and sounds of the Blue Pacific. This unique residence combines the allure of Polynesian design with modern amenities, creating an unforgettable escape where you can see whales and dolphins play.

Your journey begins a mere 33 miles south from Kailua-Kona, with the magnificent Volcano National Park only 63 miles away. The scenic drive from Kona International Airport takes approximately 1.5 hours, meandering down switchbacks that reward you with picturesque views as you approach your serene getaway.

This exquisite home showcases open beam ceilings throughout, enriching the atmosphere with spaciousness and air circulation.

The property boasts two deluxe bedrooms, complete with ensuite bathrooms featuring double vanities and expansive walk-in tile and glass block showers. You’ll appreciate the absence of air conditioning, as the gentle trade winds keep the space cool and comfortable. Additionally, a spacious 500 sq. ft. lanai invites you to relax and soak up the sun or host gatherings while enjoying the crisp ocean breeze.

At Milolii, known as the "last fishing village" in Hawaii, you'll find world-class deep-sea fishing and exceptional snorkeling spots nearby. A short drive within the Milolii Beach Lots subdivision leads you to a hiking trail that opens up to Honomalino Beach, lined with coconut trees and offering fantastic underwater adventures. Not to be missed, seasonal whale watching is a highlight, as you’ll hear and see humpback whales during their annual migration from November through May.

For those who enjoy kayaking, the waters surrounding your home are among the finest in Hawaii. Snorkeling gear and kayaks are available right on the property, making it easy for you to explore the vibrant marine life and pristine waters. As you enjoy the thrill of spotting green sea turtles, spinner dolphins, and even occasional manta rays, this location truly embodies paradise.

Summary: This home in Milolii was the most extraordinary vacation rental we have ever booked. It was complete solitude, peace, and beauty. The pictures and description of the property on the VRBO site are accurate. I would have enjoyed some air conditioning sometimes, but the fans and sea breezes helped. We did not use the available kayaks or snorkeling equipment, or the washer and dryer. We took other reviewers recommendations and rented a four wheel drive vehicle. Not exactly necessary, but helpful going up and down the mountain road to the home. As others have said, I would recommend getting there in the daylight--at least the first time you drive it. It truly is a good distance from any food, gas, or store, so we made sure to hit the Walmart in Kona after we flew to the island. We also always brought home supper so we could enjoy the sun's spectacular show every evening on the patio or the lanai. There was never any noise at the house other than the waves lapping outside. It was incredibly peaceful. This home was truly something special and we will never regret it or forget the days we spent at this special spot. We were also blessed on this trip to see Kilauea's 50th eruption in its current cycle of eruptions that started on 12/23/24. We were driving to Hilo that day when we spotted the eruption in the distance. We never made it to Hilo because we couldn't stop watching the event from the road and from the Volcano National Park that day. Truly, this was an unforgettable vacation!
