Kai Honu Hale – Oceanfront Bliss on Hawaii’s East Side
Where Sea Turtles Glide by Your Window and the Pacific Fills Your Soul
Welcome to Kai Honu Hale, the Ocean Turtle House — your unforgettable escape on the magical east side of the Big Island. Newly renovated in June 2025, perched right at the ocean’s edge, this three-level gem offers a rare “floating on water” experience that brings you closer to Hawaii’s natural beauty than you ever imagined.
From the moment you arrive, the sweeping 180-degree, unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean will take your breath away. Watch turtles drift by, dolphins play, and—during winter—the awe-inspiring sight of whales breaching just offshore. Every room in this beautifully designed 2-bedroom home with a spacious open-concept loft and 2 full bathrooms delivers front-row seats to the magic of the sea.
Wake up to stunning sunrises, sip coffee from your private lanai, and fall asleep to the soothing sounds of crashing waves. Our home is nestled in a quiet, walkable neighborhood — perfect for morning strolls or evening star-gazing. It’s just a 7-minute drive to the charming town of Pahoa with its eclectic shops and diverse dining, and only 45 minutes from the incredible Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
Inside, you’ll find a bright and airy living space with panoramic windows and daily turtle sightings right from your sofa. Enjoy a 37" flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi, a well-equipped kitchen, and an outdoor charcoal BBQ for sunset grilling (just bring your charcoal).
We’re locals, and we’re happy to help make your trip even more special with insider tips and recommendations. From must-see sights to hidden gems, we’re here for you. Located just 30–35 minutes from Hilo International Airport, Kai Honu Hale is both accessible and wonderfully secluded.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Liv
My husband and I are both born and raised in Hawaii. I came from Oahu and am proud to be of Hawaiian descent. My husband was born in Kona, but raised in Kalapana on the Big Island of Hawaii, before the lava came and took it away. He brought our family back to the Big Island 12 years ago where we have been ever since. The vacation rental is ours and my dad's house. My dad bought it in the hopes of moving to a peaceful, less crowded place than Oahu someday. We have been managing our family vacation rental since 2007.
Our main goal is to make our malahini(tourist) love the Big Island as much as we do and we put every ounce of aloha in our rental(s) and in keeping our house(s) comfy and clean. If you are looking for cleaners for your own vacation rental, please consider us to help. We really enjoy taking care of vacation rentals.

Why they chose this property
The way the house is designed, you have an ocean view from anywhere in the house making it unique compared to other vacation rentals. All of us enjoy it here on the east side of the Big Island because it feels as though you are in 'true' Hawaii, not the over developed parts of Oahu, Maui and the west or Kona side of the Big Island. It is definitely a place where you can enjoy nature at its finest. Plus it is a safe place to raise our three sons and to be able to teach them the ways of Hawaii life such as fishing, diving, surfing, and farming.
What makes this property unique
The best thing about this house is seeing whales just offshore during the winter season. It is amazing to be able to sit and watch the ocean with all its marine life (turtles, fish, whales, opihi, etc...). FYI-if you are looking for turtles, you need to look under the water in the surf(polarized glasses help). They aren't sitting on the rocks in plain sight. Aloha a hui hou!
