About this house rental
Escape to the peaceful shores of North Kohala, at the edge of Upolu Point, where the beauty of the Big Island meets the vast Pacific Ocean. Awhalecrossing Cabin is a hidden gem, offering a private oceanview getaway on a secluded coastline. This cozy, charming cabin promises an unforgettable vacation in a tranquil, rural setting.
Nestled in nature, the fully-furnished, 2-bedroom, 1-bath cabin is perfect for couples, families, or small groups, comfortably sleeping up to 5 guests. The downstairs bedroom features a queen-sized bed, while the upstairs bedroom offers both a king bed and a twin bed, making it ideal for families or close friends. The cabin comes with a fully-equipped kitchen, allowing you to prepare meals and enjoy them with the stunning ocean vista as your backdrop.
Relax in the spacious living room or on the screened-in porch, where you can savor the ever-changing views of the sea—watch the waves roll in, the sun setting over the horizon, and, if you're here during whale season (November - April), witness the awe-inspiring humpback whales breaching and singing right from your private lanai.
The cabin's wrap-around deck offers 360-degree views, making it the perfect spot for breathtaking sunsets, mystical moonbows, and the serene soundscape of nature—ocean waves, tropical birds, and the cool breezes. For those who love stargazing, the property's dark sky location offers unparalleled views of the night sky. With little light pollution, you'll be treated to stunning constellations, shooting stars, and even glimpses of distant planets, creating a perfect opportunity for a memorable evening of stargazing.
In winter, watch the dramatic surf roll in from the ocean, as the North Shore of the Big Island is known for some of the most powerful waves on the island. And if you're a fan of scenic vistas, take in the stunning views of Maui’s Haleakalā volcano across the Alenuihāhā channel. On clear days, the sight of the majestic peak is a reminder of the natural wonders that surround you.
Hiking trails abound, and the property is just a short walk to both the ocean and historical sites, including King Kamehameha's birthplace and the ancient Mo'okini Heiau.
While secluded, Awhalecrossing Cabin is conveniently located just 1 mile off Akoni Pule Highway. The charming towns of Hawi and Kapaau are only minutes away, where you'll find dining, galleries, and unique shopping experiences. The world-renowned beaches and resorts of the Gold Coast, including Hapuna and Mauna Kea—regularly ranked among the top 10 beaches in the world—are just a 20-minute drive away. Kona International Airport is 50 minutes by car.
Our "Special Rustic Hawaiian Experience" has been a beloved part of our family for nearly 45 years. With the company of our 2 Golden Retrievers and 2 Golden Doodles, we invite you to experience the magic of our island paradise.
Whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or simply a place to reconnect with nature, Awhalecrossing Cabin is your perfect retreat.
Come for the views, stay for the experience.

A whales crossing was very private and secluded with an amazing ocean view. Screened in Lanai for amazing comfortable outside seating. We absolutely loved this place

We had a great time staying and visiting with family. A couple things I have to note would be that the tap water was undrinkable (even for coffee) during our stay. The owner provided us with a large pack of bottled water which was nice but inconvenient. Hopefully that was only a temporary issue.
The second thing was that I got a couple bug bites during our stay. But this is common in Hawaii so I’m not complaining. Just don’t come here expecting five diamond hotel cleanliness.
Overall we enjoyed the accommodations and would stay again.
