  • Some properties sit on bluffs with steep paths to the water

From the Host

Hale Hamakua sits on a private acre along the Hamakua Coast, with expansive ocean views and large windows that fill the home with light. It’s a comfortable, family-friendly retreat where you can enjoy whale watching in season and unwind on a private lanai after a day of exploring nearby towns and waterfalls. Expect a lived-in, welcoming atmosphere and space to spread out, with a touch of island life—from geckos to birds—sharing the view. The location invites easy day trips to Hilo, Honokaa, Waipio, and Hapuna Beach, letting you shape each day at your own pace.
