Stunning Ocean Views - Whale House Hawaii
Experience the breathtaking Stunning Ocean Views - Whale House Hawaii, nestled on a serene peninsula just outside of Hilo. This remarkable retreat, located in Kaloli Point, is renowned for offering some of the finest weather on the Hilo side—some even claim it's superior to that of Kona. Built directly atop an ancient lava flow, this one-of-a-kind house stands out as it was constructed on untouched, natural lava, mere steps from the Pacific Ocean.
The Whale House is exclusively rented to one guest, family, or group at any given time, ensuring your privacy and tranquility. The expansive wraparound lanai grants you spectacular ocean and garden views, making it the perfect spot to unwind. Spanning 1820 square feet, the home's full-size kitchen, equipped with a dishwasher, offers all the conveniences you need. On the second floor, you will find two identical Master Suites, each featuring comfortable king beds and private en-suite bathrooms. Additionally, there are two more bedrooms on the ground floor, both with king beds, sharing a bathroom located in the garden view bedroom. Accessing the main second floor is facilitated by two outdoor stairways.
For those looking to rejuvenate, enjoy the hot/cold outdoor bamboo-enclosed shower, ideal for washing away the day’s adventures. The lush half-acre property boasts fruiting coconut palms, papayas, bananas, and pineapples, enhancing your Hawaiian experience.
Your stay includes complimentary amenities such as bicycles, a large gas BBQ, coolers, boogie boards, snorkel gear, hammocks, fishing gear, and binoculars—perfect for exploring the trails, neighborhoods, and everything the Big Island has to offer. The lanai provides a serene environment amidst beautiful gardens or awe-inspiring ocean views, along with refreshing trade wind breezes, making it an excellent spot for whale watching during migration season.
You have the option to rent a single bedroom or the entire home, but rest assured, the property is never shared with strangers. Nightly rates begin at $195 for one bedroom, with an additional charge of $25 per night for each guest beyond two. Should you wish for separate rooms (for example, four guests requiring three rooms), please message us either before or after booking so we can adjust your reservation accordingly. Regardless of your choice, only one guest party will be accommodated in the house at any time, ensuring privacy and comfort. Un-rented rooms will remain locked, giving you access to all other areas.
On rare occasions and with prior notification, we (the owners) may occupy the unoccupied lower floor bedrooms for maintenance or emergency purposes.
