About this property

Welcome to Hale Kailani, the 'Sea and Sky House'. Enjoy breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, amazing sunrises, occasional lightning storms, year round turtle and spinner dolphins and seasonal humpback whales right off the back lanai. Located just south of Hilo on the eastside of the Island of Hawaii (Big Island). Situated on a 1/2 acre lot in the rural subdivision of Hawaiian Paradise Park, this cozy and clean oceanfront home feels secluded but is within close proximity to shopping, dining and other 'must do' activities. This house features 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom on the main level, a large loft with a bathroom upstairs and a good sized lanai looking out at the ocean with an outdoor dining set, BBQ and additional seating. Newly purchased and undergoing phased renovations.

Amazing again!

We stayed at Hale Kailani for a month from Feb to Mar, 2024. This was the second time we stayed here (previously for a month in Jan, 2022) and it did not disappoint. Tina and David are the ultimate VRBO hosts – always available and responded immediately to any questions we had. The house was extremely well appointed and clean when we arrived. The views from the cliff side lanai are amazing and we saw too many whales and turtles to count while enjoying a coffee during the sunrise, or a Mai Tai during the afternoons. The area is quiet and has lots of great areas to walk and is relatively close to Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park and the town of Hilo. We did a fair amount of cooking and found most everything we needed easily at hand… our home away from home. For close by food to takeout, we really enjoyed the Huli Huli chicken at the roadside stand near Paradise Drive and Keaau-Pahoa Road. In the nearby WH Shipman Business Park, you will find the Ma’ona Lunch Counter and the Wailuku Brew Works - not much in the way of ambience, but the food and beer can’t be beat! Thank you Tina and David for allowing us to stay at your Hale Kailani again – if we get back to the Big Island, we will not hesitate to stay with you again. Mahalo!

Absolute paradise

Our stay was just wonderful. The home itself was welcoming and perfectly appointed with everything we needed during our visit. The views from the loft and living/ dining room were so breathtaking. I didn’t notice the large tv in the living room for the first 3 days, the view was that eye-catching. Plenty of space to accommodate our family and friend. We would recommend staying at this home to anyone looking for a relaxed paradise. The neighborhood was nice and easy to navigate, good for a morning walk. We all hope to stay again. Mahalo to our hosts, Tina and David. They were quick to respond to any questions and provided great local recommendations.

Stunning

This property was stunning! It had incredible views, was very clean, and the property owners thought of everything we could need. We had plenty of room for our family of 6. We were all comfortable and truly enjoyed both the indoor and outdoor spaces. We even saw a whale right off the back patio on our last day! Incredible! We would definitely stay here again and hope to in the future!

Hilo Vacation

Awesome private place. Neighborhood quiet and pretty. Hearing and seeing the surf all the time was amazing. My kids LOVED it and we would stay here again if visiting Hilo area. The "no AC" was NOT an issue. Ocean breeze was "natural AC". Kind of a drive to Hilo and Volcanoes National Park but not difficult and worth the view and seclusion.

Beautiful view for a great stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would gladly do it again. Views were gorgeous, neighborhood (people) quiet even on Memorial Day weekend, and the house has lots of thoughtful amenities. My cautions: Stairs are unavoidable, and/or if you want AC for comfort or consistency, this isn’t for you. It rains several times a day and you must close the windows (and leave them closed if you leave the house). The coqui frogs are also quite loud, which we found charming. Others might not. We had one question during our stay, and the hosts were responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay again if we have the chance.

About the host

Hosted by Tina and David Vincent

Aloha!
Welcome to our little cliff house. Thank you choosing to stay with us, we hope you enjoy it as much as we do. We were both raised on the island of Oahu and started our family there. In the mid 90's we packed up and moved to Washington State to attend college. We ended up staying in Washington and pursuing our careers. There is just no place like Hawaii, we visit as much as we can and are so happy that we are finally able to have a little home of our own right on the water. Its so relaxing , it truly is our sanctuary. Most of our extended family has moved from Oahu to the Big Island - we love it here. Its such a special place. There are things that are unique to this island such as active lava flows and Coqui frogs. I suspect we will retire here some day but for now we visit 2 to 3 times a year and as a result are able to share our home with you.

Why they chose this property

We love the eastside of the island - its so green and a bit more rural than the westside. All of the Big Island has something to offer but this area feels like home.

What makes this property unique

Honestly, we have been watching this particular property for about 4 years. My husband and I are both in design professions and the simplicity of the house and the room for growth both in the house and on the property caught our attention right away. We were thrilled the home owner accepted our offer and we can now call this little modern farm house on a cliff in Hawaii our second home.

We are remodeling strategically. Currently the house has a brand new roof, new water heater, new water filtration and new paint. We have also replaced most of the furniture and will continue to improve on it. My husband is a local boy, growing up fishing and surfing so being able to fish right in his backyard is a huge bonus. When we visit we spend every evening out on the cliff while the sun goes down behind us, its just so beautiful.
