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. With Italian porcelain tile flooring adding elegance, you will feel the authentic Polynesian vibe enhanced by exotic beams and designer palm fans overhead. Enjoy the luxury of large windows and sliding doors that provide stunning ocean views from virtually every room, including each bedroom, ensuring a perfect vantage point for mesmerizing sunsets each evening.

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.

Experience the unparalleled beauty and tranquility of Milolii, where the sun meets the sea, and every sunset is a breathtaking spectacle. Capture these moments and create memories that will last a lifetime at your direct oceanfront sanctuary—approved as a Short Term Vacation Rental (STVR-19-346854, NUC-19-311).

Summary: The house was great. Location is absolutely perfect if you’re looking for a quiet getaway in a spectacular location. We can’t say enough good things about our host, Kirsten. We faced ongoing weather challenges throughout our stay and she keep us informed and updated on alerts from the weather service, but even more so, was helpful, and extremely supportive during some challenges we faced during the trip. Highly recommend.
