Quiet and beautiful , it was exactly what we were looking for.

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!

This house is a way to experience true Hawaii!

We wanted to get away from the harsh Boston winter and thought of trying something different as it was our first visit to Big Island. This house did not disappoint, pictures in the listing did not do it justice. The house is beautiful! Clean and well stocked with every amenity you can imagine. The open plan living room/dining area is furnished with high end teak furniture, modern and clutter free. The kitchen looked like it was from a magazine. The expansive Lanai with ocean views stretched across the width of the house. Each of the end master bedrooms had french doors opening to the lanai, We slept with the doors open all night, lulled by the sound of ocean waves. It was the best nights’ sleep ever! We woke to the crows of roosters and the moos of cows. The pantry was well stocked with spices and basics, anything else needed was a short drive to Foodland in the next town of Waimea. We were happy that James, the host and caretaker was a text away. He lives in the unit below and whenever we needed anything he would appear with it. He is a delight to talk to, very knowledgeable about the area. We did day trips to Volcano Park, Waipio Valley, had a fancy dinner at Merriman’s, Hawaiian cowboy BBQ at Fish and Hog and malasadas at Tex-Drivein. The historic town of Honokaa is 10 minutes away, we loved the little museum. Farmers’ markets and Wednesdays and Saturdays are a must-see. We are making plans to come back next winter.

Oct 17, 2022 Great Very Pleasant. Piyush A
May 03, 2024 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. Andy O'Hanlon
May 03, 2024 Great place. Beautiful and peaceful. Mike Hanson
May 03, 2024 Great place, very quiet and scenic. Nicole Quaintance
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
Dec 11, 2023 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! Michael Barker
Oct 02, 2024 This was a great gathering place for our family to come together for an island event. The hosts were very responsive to our needs. Sharon Dearstyne
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

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.

Feb 10, 2025 Great place to relax and enjoy Brandon Domsch
Jul 22, 2025 Thanks to both for a great stay! A beautiful, spacious and well furnished place. Great communication from the property manager, Gather and a kind and gracious on-site caretaker/host. Todd H
Jul 22, 2025 This is an amazing place to stay. It is a quiet neighborhood. The house has everything you need plus some! Very spacious, it even has a sitting area to chat or just pick up one of the many books provided. We enjoyed the Large Lanai every morning & evening, taking in the views, and the beautiful music of nature. If we had a question or needed anything, James was there- he's great! All we can say is, we loved the place and wish we could have stayed longer. Would we go back? Absolutely!!! Thanks again to the owner for sharing your beautiful home! William E. K.
