About this property
Sunrise Sanctuary, Spacious, Beautiful, Tranquil Living, Green Sands Beach
Aloha and welcome to Halawai ( the point where heaven and earth meet), a Sanctuary Oasis on the road to Magical Green Sands Beach in Naalehu, HI. We are located half way between Hilo and Kona on a 3 acre peaceful sanctuary in mystical South Point, Na'alehu Hawaii. This is a great place to have as a base when touring the Southern part of the island. Your rental is an entire beautiful, 1 bedroom 1 bath apartment located on the upper floor. There is a grand outdoor staircase to access the upper floor, where you pass through your own private huge Lanai (an outside covered verandah) to relax on and enjoy the herb and flower garden below. You enter the sliding door to a cheery, spacious, clean, welcoming environment full of light, good energy, Hawaiian art and colors!!! For your comfort there is a full kitchen, with island, stove, microwave, and refrigerator, coffee, tea, fruit etc. The bedroom has a new queen sized memory foam mattress to relax and dream in peaceful ease. The adjoining bath has a shower and is very large, and well appointed. There is a full day bed with a brand new memory foam mattress in the living room for day lounging or sleeping another guest or child if needed. * If we are booked please check out our other listing, titled "Sunrise Sanctuary, near Green Sands Beach". You will love your stay in our apartment home. It's a bright, new, clean, comfortable sanctuary and filled with Aloha Spirit! We will give you your privacy during your stay, however, should you have any questions during your time here, or would like recommendations, we would love to share so you have a beautiful experience. We live on the property, bottom level (separate entrance) so if you have a question please text or call me if you don't see me out working in the garden. Mahalo!

About the host
Hosted by Ka'Haiya Sophia
Aloha, I enjoy drawing, painting, gardening, traveling, and making herbal plant medicines. Having lived on Maui and the Big Island each is unique and gives so much to our sense of peace and well being. Na'alehu is a most special place, one that remains undeveloped and unspoiled. We are continually working on creating an organic farm sanctuary. In addition to growing food we are growing traditional Hawaiian medicines. I honor the culture and indigenous ways and seek to live in Harmony with the Aina (land). I love different cultures that make us unique, yet connected as one human family. It is my sincere wish to share Aloha as it has been so lovingly shown to me.
Why they chose this property
Our home is located in South Point (Naalehu) In Hawaiian it is called "Ka Lae" which means "The Point", as its the southern most point of the Hawaiian Kingdom and the whole United States! No light pollution makes for FANTASTIC FOR STAR WATCHING UNDER THE MILKY WAY AND SOUTHERN CROSS!!! South Point is the very place where the first sea faring Polynesians (Hawaiians) came ashore so long ago and the region where the mightiest warrior, King Kamehameha trained in the Hawaiian arts. The land has strong Mana! (energy) On the way to Green Sands Beach you can still see remains of the rock hale's (houses) and stone Heiau's (temples) of these Ancient Hawaiian's. Our Neighborhood (South Point Road) is full of farms growing Macadamia nuts, coffee, and various other offerings. There is a first rate quaint coffee shop and small gift shop on a flower farm a couple houses down from us to enjoy outstanding Ka'u regional coffee, lattes and chai in their garden. Incredibly they also offer Yoga classes in the greenhouse of the flower farm. The town of Na'alehu (of which South Point is a part of) is so quaint with the famous Punaluu Bakery, Ka'u coffee plantations, Hana Hau restuarant, gas and small store. It is about an 8 minute drive into the heart of Na'alehu. Na'alehu Farmers Market is on Wednesdays and Saturdays! You will see why Mark Twain loved it here! Volcano's National Park and Thurston Lava Tube is about a 40 minute drive. Kahuku National Park is 1.5 miles away. Green Sand Beach is at the bottom of our road, Punaluu Black Sand Beach is about 15 minute drive and Whittington Beach Park is also down the road. Ocean View and Naalehu both have simple home style restaurants and each are about a 7 mile drive. For Groceries, if you are not stopping at Costco in Kona, then Ocean View is the best option as there are 2 large markets there to obtain groceries.
