Discover Hale Hanai - Near Kealakekua Bay - Proximity to Ocean Without Oceanfront Price

Welcome to Hale Hanai, your ideal vacation rental just a short distance from Kealakekua Bay. Here, you will experience the charm and tranquility of old Hawaii, all while enjoying the lush surroundings filled with palm trees and fragrant plumeria blossoms. This family-friendly two-story house provides a perfect retreat for those looking to immerse themselves in the beauty of Captain Cook, Hawaii.

The meaning of "Hanai" is "adopted family," and during your stay at our home, you’ll truly feel like part of the family. The spacious yard is a haven, featuring an abundance of aromatic flowers, banana trees, and coconut palms, inviting you to unwind and soak up the island atmosphere.

On the upper level, parents can take advantage of their own private living area boasting stunning views of the bay. The luxurious Alii (royalty) room features a California King bamboo canopy bed, comfortable seating, and a lanai where you can witness some of the world's most breathtaking sunsets. A fully-equipped kitchen and a dining room accommodating eight guests make it easy to gather for meals or special celebrations.

Downstairs, enjoy a separate living room along with ample space to snack and relax. The Sandcastle Sanctuary offers both a queen-size bed and a built-in daybed, making it perfect for grandparents or couples with children. The cozy daybed serves as a tranquil reading nook, accompanied by gentle ocean breezes that flow through the curtains. Additionally, a portable crib is available for little ones needing a nap. The Volcano Room features a double bed adorned with decor inspired by Madame Pele, the goddess of fire, while the Captain Cook Quarters includes a twin-size daybed decorated with aquatic themes for young adventurers who dream of "sleeping with the fishes." There are also two queen-size sleeper sofas—one upstairs and one downstairs—to ensure everyone has a place to rest comfortably.

Just across the bay, you'll find the historic Captain Cook monument, marking the site where the legendary explorer met his fate. The bay is a playground for spinner dolphins, which visit frequently, and offers unparalleled snorkeling opportunities in this remarkable marine sanctuary. After a day of exploring or kayaking, rinse off in the outdoor shower before gathering around the barbecue to enjoy an al fresco meal at one of the two picnic tables as the sun sets on another enchanting day in paradise.

Please keep in mind that we have a two-week minimum booking policy during the Christmas holidays, from December 15 to January 1. We look forward to welcoming you to Hale Hanai, where cherished memories await!

Summary: Susan, the property host, was always so friendly and quick to respond. The home was spacious for our group and we loved the location. We used Ehu and Kai to rent kayaks, which was a two minute drive or very walkable, to paddle to Captain Cook's Monument and snorkeled there. We also took advantage of Honaunau to visit the historical park and snorkel right near it. Incredible snorkeling with spinner dolphins around, sea turtle, eels and such. Really beautiful. The only ding to the home is a the lack of air conditioning. They do provide ceiling fans in the bedrooms and fans in sitting areas. We loved our time there and would stay again.
