About this property

Hilo's Secluded Luxury & Ocean Front Estate

Hale Hokulea - Private Oceanfront Estate on 16 Acres

Welcome to one of Hawaii’s most secluded luxurious ocean front estates!
Our family vacation home is situated on a 16-acre heart of palm plantation along the Scenic Route. As you enter the gated estate, you will feel like you have left the stresses of life behind. The property is surrounded by breathtaking ocean views and open agricultural lands, which create a sense of privacy and seclusion. You will drive down a spectacular driveway and see a beautifully hand crafted cliff top plantation style home, which is completely off grid.

Thanks to the home’s cliffside position on the Hilo side of the island, fresh ocean breezes flow through the property all day and night, keeping the interior cool and comfortable. That’s why we’ve chosen to have ceiling fans and large windows throughout the estate instead of air conditioning—letting you enjoy Hawaii’s natural climate the way it was meant to be.

The estate is 20 minutes from Hilo International Airport, 10 minutes from downtown Hilo, and just 4 miles (about a 10-minute drive) from the closest swimming beach. The world-famous Volcano National Park is also within an hour’s drive of the estate.

MAIN HOUSE

- MASTER SUITE with Bathroom
A vanishing 15’ window opens up to a spectacular unobstructed 270° ocean view. Fall asleep to the soothing sounds of the waves crashing on the cliff in a comfortable king-sized bed with soft cotton sheets and a twin bed too. The master bedroom is connected to the wraparound veranda where you can enjoy your morning coffee and awaken to the smell of tropical flowers. One closet in the bedroom hallway provides plenty of space and privacy for your comfort.
The spacious master bathroom boasts his and her vanities, a walk-in shower, and dual shower heads, including a rain shower overlooking the estate. Shampoo, hair conditioner, hand soap, toilet paper, and plenty of towels are all provided.

- Second Bedroom
Enjoy a comfortable king-sized bed with soft cotton sheets, two bedside tables with reading lamps, ceiling fan, and a handcrafted mango and eucalyptus wood entertainment table. There is also a spacious closet for your comfort.

The second bathroom is shared by both the second bedroom and the main house. It features a tub/shower, sink/vanity, and toilet. Shampoo, hair conditioner, hand soap, toilet paper, and plenty of towels are provided.

A short walk down a beautifully landscaped covered breezeway leads to a private guest house with its own bedroom, living space, bathroom, and TV.
The guest house features a full-sized bed with soft cotton sheets, a ceiling fan, a chair, bedside table, reading lamp, a pineapple dining table for 4, and a pull-out Italian leather couch that converts to a queen-sized bed.
Sliding glass doors open to a private lanai with views of the estate and Hamakua coastline.
