I love to hear the whales at night when they are in Hawaii waters. During the day they play and breach just out back. Dolphins can be seen in the morning as well. A unique and special place, as is all of this island. There is an additional sleeping space with queen bed in the office overlooking the ocean. Enjoy a wonderful, Hawaiian vacation at our 'House of Sea Spray' (Hale Huna Kai) on the beautiful East Coast of Hawaii. Our two-bedroom vacation home comfortably accommodates parties of up to six people in a modern, cheerful, quiet, and relaxed setting. Convenient to Hilo Town, Kilauea (the world's most active volcano), the rain forest, world-class snorkeling, incredible hiking, and waterfalls, 'Hale Huna Kai' can make your dream vacation come true! Hale Huna Kai is in the Puna district of the Big Island of Hawaii. Puna is located south of Hilo on the East Coast of the Island. The area is known for many things but one that stands out is Kalapana and Kaimu Bay where in late 1990, the on-going eruption of Kilauea's Kupaianaha vent covered the famous Black Sand Beach at Kaimu Bay. The house is a 30-minute drive from Hilo Airport. It is situated at the edge of Kaloli Bay less than one-half mile from Kaloli Point. The surroundings are lush, verdant, and tropical. Palms, orchids, and plumeria plants abide. Flowering bougainvillea, poinsettia and hibiscus color the area. On most mornings you can look out the front door, over the driveway and see Mauna Kea ('White Mountain'), a dormant volcano. Step out in the yard and pick fresh bananas for breakfast, and seasonally white pineapples are abundant. The house just went through major renovations after being damaged by Hurricane Iselle in August of 2014. The new lanai upstairs is incredible! Whales are abundant in the late fall through April and can be seen and heard from the bedrooms. They come close enough to the house you can see their eyes! Wireless Internet and free local and US long distance calls included! Prices listed include the required 13.416% taxes levied in Hawaii. This is the upstairs of my home in Hawaiian Paradise Park. The downstairs is a separate unit with a private entrance that may or may not be rented. The only shared space is the laundry room facilites. If the unit is occupied downstairs please do no disturb. I live down the coast so when guests check in they are in their own private space. Wednesday Nights at Uncle Robert's is a great place to get some good food and listen to Hawaiian Music - Located in Kalapana. Sunday Market off the of main highway on the way to Pahoa is a great place for food people watching and fruits and veggies for your stay.
