We really enjoyed our stay at Hale Luana, our host was wonderful, and always available if we had any questions. Home was very spacious with all the right amenities. We loved it. The view from the Lanai was awesome!

This was a great gathering place for our family to come together for an island event. The hosts were very responsive to our needs.

Peaceful and Relaxing! Are you looking to stay away from the crowds of the tourists? This is the perfect spot. The home was clean and had plenty of room with 4 bedrooms. Extra large house that was enjoyed by everyone in our party. In fact, we all agreed that this was our favorite spot that we stayed at on the entire island.

Description

Welcome to Hale Luana, the house of comfort and relaxation. This grand home is so comfortable you will not want to leave. Located just south of famed Honoka'a on the historic Hamakua Coast and close to Waipio Valley, Waimea, waterfalls, quaint shopping spots and ocean adventure areas.

***Please note: all rates apply to 2 guests. Additional guests are $50 per night plus taxes. Maximum occupancy is 10 guests.***

Our on-site (located in a downstairs detached dwelling) caretakers are available for guests who would like a greeting and orientation to the estate and are readily available to assist you during your stay. Parents please be aware that the property is not safe for walking babies, toddlers or small children because of many unprotected stairs, high-end and breakable decor. We welcome older children and infants (equipment is provided including a port-a-crib, high chair, pack'n'play and infant gym).

As you enter the 2.5 acre property through the palm lined driveway, you'll know you've found your 'home away from home'. Walk up the wide front stairs and pause on the front lanai to enjoy the expansive lawn and garden views. Then step inside and be greeted by the grand, open living spaces. The living room, dining area and kitchen are all open with a high, vaulted ceiling and wide sliding doors that open onto the huge lanai with an ocean view. Trade breezes flow through the plantation style house daily. Our favorite spot is the 600 square foot back lanai where you can gaze upon the ocean, dine on the teak table with seating for 6 or walk down to the hot tub on the deck below. The kitchen is stocked with everything you'll need for cooking 'today's catch' or farmer's market produce. The living room has plenty of comfortable seating for your group, a flat screen TV, stereo and music library. Additional to the outside dining is the inside dining with another long table and seating for 10. Just off the kitchen is a large reading room with 4 comfy chairs and ottomans and a full library to indulge in.

While the living spaces of the house are all open concept, the 4 bedrooms are each contained in one of the four corners of the house for utmost privacy. Both the Primary Bedroom and Bedroom 2 have king size beds, en-suite bathroom, flat screen TV and access to the back lanai through French doors that are screened in case you want to sleep with the doors open and the breezes and sounds of nature. The Primary Suite also includes walk-in closets. The Primary Bathroom is elegantly designed with a walk-in marble shower with 2 shower heads and marble bench as well as a soaking tub, a separate WC and double vanity sinks. Bedrooms 3 and 4 share a luxurious bathroom complete with marble tile and a bathtub with a shower. Bedroom 3 has a king size bed and flat screen TV and Bedroom 4 has a queen size bed and lovely garden views. Each of the 4 bedrooms is finished with high quality linens, elegant touches, ceiling fan and view of either the ocean or gardens. There is additional sleeping on a single pull-out bed in the living room and a couch with a firm, down cushion long enough for a small adult to comfortably sleep.

Hale Luana is the complete gathering spot vacation rental. With plenty of room for each guest to spread out inside or out, a large hot tub and 600 square foot ocean view lanai. This is a place you'll come back to year after year....start your experience now!

***Please note that this property is not equipped with air conditioning. It does however feature excellent ventilation with ceiling fans throughout.***

May 03, 2024 We had a wonderful stay at Hale Luana. It was restful & generally quiet. That was much appreciated. The house was well-equipped and all on one level. The kitchen was amazing. The Lani and view are amazing. Every room just called for you to spend time there. A sitting area just off the entrance became my wife's favorite location for her craft work. I used one end of the dinning table to set up my laptop and the files I brought to work on. The view out to the ocean will capture you attention. We watched three whales linger in the area and performed their courtship frolic. You are an hour's drive away from Akaka Falls and two world-class botanical gardens. In the other direction you have the isolated Waipio Valley. Having James & Louise nearby available for questions or assistance is a big plus for this property. If you have an issue or need it gets address promptly. When we return to this corner of Hawaii we intend to stay here again. Glenn Milligan
May 03, 2024 Between the ocean view, the wonderful breezes, and the lovely fully stocked and beautifully furnished home our Honoka’a experience was wonderful! Karen Burcher
May 03, 2024 Our experience at Hale Luna was truly delightful. The house offered ample space, a breathtaking view, a peaceful neighborhood, and was equipped with everything necessary for our comfort. The hosts went above and beyond, regularly checking in on us to ensure our needs were met and providing valuable recommendations for local attractions and dining options. We couldn't have asked for a better stay. Cary Westmark
May 03, 2024 Ideal for us. Well equipped, property manager was extremely pleasant and always available. Would recommend it and gladly rebook for visiting family from out of state. Sandrine Libby
May 03, 2024 I have been to Hawaii over 60 times and I wanted to stay away from it all and have a different Big Island experience and this lovely home did not disappoint. This house was one of the most well stocked VRBO's I have ever stayed in and I have stayed in countless. The location was isolated and perfect with a beautiful lanai to take it all in. Our host could not have been more communicative and helpful. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a truly special Hawaiian paradise location away from the hustle and bustle and yet close to Waimea, Waipio and Hilo. 5 stars all around. mary donlevy
Apr 24, 2024 We couldn't have asked for a more perfect home and location to celebrate our son's wedding. We owned a home and raised our kids in that neighborhood 15 years ago. Jennifer Stroupe
Mar 05, 2024 Quiet and beautiful , it was exactly what we were looking for. Adam Farquharson
Jan 19, 2024 Our group of five has nothing but 5 stars for Hale Luana! We felt welcomed from the moment we entered the palm-lined driveway. Once in the house we were greeted with multiple spacious rooms plus a fabulous lanai with a breathtaking ocean view. The house was clean, tastefully furnished and equipped with everything we might need. Louise and James were quick to respond to any questions or issues we had. All of us highly recommend this gem of a home and can’t wait to return. Alice Findler

Jul 29, 2024 We arrived late into the evening, I was able to communicate with Louise on flight changes. The house was very easy to find (in the dark). They left the front porch and parlor lights on for us; it was so warm and welcoming. All questions I had were answered quickly! Family style. Fresh fruits available, the house and its view were gorgeous. The kitchen had everything we needed and more!! Very spacious. I would absolutely stay here again. Mahalo! Talia Cardines
May 18, 2024 Lovely home in a quiet town. The kitchen had every appliance and utensil you could imagine and more. We picked oranges from the tree in the yard and used the juicer for fresh orange juice:) The hot tub was wonderful and the home was well supplied for beach trips (towels, chairs, umbrella, etc). The hosts were friendly, responsive and very helpful. If you're looking for a place to relax that's quiet with a beautiful view this home is for you. Patrick Ames

Dec 02, 2023 This is such a beautiful home! Everything was so clean and tidy. The lanai is expansive and has a great view. The kitchen is very large and has everything one would ever need. The check-in process was seamless with very clear directions. One thing to note: it is in a rural location, so you will hear dogs barking and roosters crowing very early in the morning! The only disappointment is that the description stated there was a pool and a hot tub, and neither were available. I don't know where the pool was, not within blocks of the house that we could see. The hot tub was broken and looked like it had been out of commission for quite a while, although we were told it just broke 2 days before we arrived when I called to inquire. If you are looking forward to hot tubbing, as we were, I would inquire about that before reserving. With that being said, I would highly recommend staying here! Beth Frankenfield

May 03, 2024 THERE IS NO SALTWATER POOL at this house, not sure why this place would advertise this in the title of the booking. It also says "hot tub" there was one, but it was not in service. The house itself was nice. Big deck. Big Rooms. The owners who live on the property were very nice and friendly, they were lovely. However, we also arrived to a completely dirty house, with used towels in every room, unmade beds, etc. They tried to help quickly resolve the issue. but we made our beds the first night and cleaners were able to come the next night. Gather the company was very responsive and helpful and answered are calls right away. It's unfortunate this happened. Elizabeth Leilani
May 03, 2024 Loved our stay! Place and location were amazing. Quiet and out of the way with great views, but super close to Honoka’a and Waimea, with restaurants and grocery stores. And only 45 min from great west side beaches. Place was perfectly clean, contrary to some previous reviews, and well stocked. Hosts were friendly and communicative (via text) but definitely gave us privacy. I wouldn’t even have known that they were on site. Biggest complaint was being woken up at 3am by the neighborhood roosters, but I can’t blame the hosts for that. :) As of this review the listing mentions a pool, but there isn’t one. Just a hot tub. But that didn’t bother us in the least. Would definitely return. Jake LaSota
May 03, 2024 Great place, very quiet and scenic. Nicole Quaintance
May 03, 2024 The house was the perfect size for our family. We really appreciated having both indoor and outdoor places to gather and visit. There are places where everyone could hang out and smaller, cozy areas for chatting. The house is also well equipped with beach gear, pantry items, and all the dishes, stemware, appliances and cookware that most anyone would ever need. Mahalo! Kathy Steichen
Dec 20, 2024 My three adult children, spouses, and I enjoyed a wonderful stay at this house. It was exactly as described: isolated, welcoming, relaxing. The large lanai was ideal for sipping morning coffee while watching the ocean. We enjoyed meals and playing cards at the large dining table. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was spacious, and everything was very clean. Bring earplugs as the roosters and cows are noisy before 5 AM. There is no ceiling fan in Bedroom #4.
