Located on a quiet peninsula of Keaau, in the Hawaiian Paradise Park sub-devision, just outside of Hilo, the Whale House is a stand-alone residence for one guest, families or group. A truly unique house built directly on top of an ancient lava flow. Unlike all other houses in the area, a tractor did not level the lava to build a structure. The Whale House is constructed entirely on original, untouched lava flow just yards from the Pacific Ocean. The Whale House is a stand-alone house that is rented to only one guest, families or same guest group(s) at a time. It boasts a huge wraparound lanai providing stunning ocean and garden views. This 1820 square foot house includes a full size kitchen with a dishwasher, two identical master suites on the second floor, each with king beds and private bathrooms, plus two additional bedrooms on the ground floor (one with a king bed and a pull-out sofa couch with a queen bed, the other with a king bed). The Whale House also has a hot outdoor bamboo enclosed shower. We have fruiting coconut palms, papayas, bananas and pineapples on the lush half acre property. The wrap around Lanai offers magnificent ocean views and trade wind breezes or for whale watching when it is their migrating season. The Whale House is located in Kaloli Point where it is said it has the best weather on the Hilo side... some say better than Kona. For your enjoyment, bicycles, large gas BBQ, coolers, boogie boards, snorkel gears, beach chairs, fishing equipments, hammocks and binocular( s) are provided free of charge for you to enjoy all that the neighborhood and the Big island has to offer. You may rent a single bedroom or all four, but either way, the house is never shared with strangers. One bedroom is $195/night. Each additional guest over 2 persons is an additional $25/night. However, if you are a party of 2 and want two separate rooms, it is going to be an additional $25/night. NOTE: due to the booking company's algorithms, the default booking occupancy is two occupants per room. If you need separate rooms (ie. 4 guests needing 3 rooms) you MUST message us either before or after booking so we can calculate the extra room charge separately. No matter what, only one guest or guest group stays at the house. There will be no other people to share the property. Un-rented rooms will be locked and you have access to everything else. Air conditioning is only located in the living room and dining room of the house. We (the owners) in rare instances and with prior notice, reserve the rights to occupy the empty lower floor bedrooms for upkeep or emergency maintenance purposes. As our guests, you will have access to all areas of the house except for the bedroom(s) that are not rented. There are plenty of parking on the grounds of the property. Even though we won't be available in person, we will always be available. Feel free to contact us for emergencies, or any reasons, through text, call, or email. The Whale House is located on beautiful Kaloli Point just outside of Hilo. The neighborhood has the best weather on this side of the Big Island... some say better than Kona. Surrounded by million dollar homes, the Whale House sits just across a small street (about 100 yards) from the ocean cliffs. Enjoy great hikes along the dramatic shorelines, just outside your front door, where you might see sea turtles, whales and dolphins swimming by. Or, explore one of the many nearby trails on bike or on foot. Trailheads begin one minute from across the Whale House and reveal tide pools, arches, and deep cool jungles. All major restaurants, shopping centers and activities are within 20 minutes by car in either direction. The Whale House is located (approximately)~30 minutes from the Hilo Airport and 2 hours from Kona Airport. At the house, there are limited public transportation (Uber or Taxi) Although the Whale House provides free bicycles, you will need a car to get around.
