Hale Kukuiola

Technically, I did not have the opportunity to stay here as I was scrounging around to last minute alternative to the tragic Yoga Oasis lodging scenario. Dennis responded promptly to my emergency request and suggested a friends’ house rental nearby. We played phone and text tag for the next handful of hours but with Dennis’s patience and my sporadic GPS, I finally met up with him @ the rental property… I fell in love with the house!
And so I found out Dennis and his partner Paul help clean and turnover their friends’ rental house. The attention to detail was in par of a 5 star hotel! folded plush towels and small details like freshly folded kitchen handtowel and sponge was so thoughtful! The place was immaculately clean! the kitchen was fully equipped with utensils and appliances to prepare every meal!
Dennis & his partner were so kind to process the paperwork @ their house with a touch of kind hospitality offering fruit. Their house was also immuculately clean, sun-​filled and laid back vibed anointed that I also noted to stay here for my next visit.
Just really kind & friendly people you would want to meet during a rambling trip across the Big Island! Pure Aloha spirits!

Balsam for the soul! Really beautiful and comfortable place to stay at a great price. Within walking distance to one of the best beaches on the island. Plus the owners are super nice and friendly — a plus not to be underestimated. Their welcome fruit basket will feed you for days. They don’t actually make breakfast, but you have a full kitchen so you can make any food you want any time. Great for those days when you just wanna take a break from restaurants. Plus sleep in late and eat bkfst when YOU want! We did on those rainy days! :)
