About this house rental

Welcome to @haleromantik!
On the Big Island of Hawaii, we are located at sea level in the last fishing village of quiet, rural Milolii on an ancient lava flow, with lava coastline.

Located 33 miles south from Kailua-Kona, we are just a short 63 miles to Volcano National Park.

Approximately 1-1/2 hours drive south from the Kona International Airport. The road from the highway to my home has many switchbacks. It takes a while to meander down the hillside to get to my home.

We are equi-distant between many popular tourist sites located on the Kona Coast side of the Big Island, i.e. Kealakekua Bay, Place of Refuge, Kahalu'u Black Sands Beach Park, Honomalino Bay, Punalu'u Black Sands Beach Park, Volcano National Park, to name a few.

OCEANFRONT Hale Romantik' on the Big Island of Hawaii, South Kona Coast is located just 40 feet from the ocean. Feel the beauty, sound and excitement the Blue Pacific brings to you. When the high surf impacts the cliff below, causing and occasional surge, sending a fine spray all the way above the deck, it makes a shaking sensation to the house in a surprisingly pleasant manner.

You will not have to look for the whales. You will hear them! And then look! There are also Spinner Dolphins, Green Sea Turtles and occasionally Manta Rays all year long. The waters in this location are considered some of the best KAYAKING and fishing grounds in Hawaii. Snorkeling equipment and Kayaks are also available for your use, on the property.

This oceanfront home has open beam ceilings throughout the house, adding to the sense of space; great for air circulation and a true feeling of Polynesian design with the exotic beams and designer palm fans dramatically displayed above. Italian porcelain tile throughout; simply a pleasure for your stay.

The home has all amenities, including a 500 sq. ft. lanai. Large expanses of windows and sliding doors, connect the home to its ocean views, allowing you to view the ocean from nearly every room, even from each bedroom. Every night you will watch the sun set below the horizon.

This oceanfront home is simply immaculate and fully equipped. Has all what you need including a George Foreman Electric Grill. We cater to the particular!

The home has two deluxe bedrooms with open ceilings for airflow but also sound will carry from room to room. Two separate ensuite deluxe bathrooms with double vanities, with extra large porcelain sinks, and two separate walk-in tile and glass block showers is another highlight. No air conditioning, just the tradewinds to keep you cool!

Milolii is known throughout the islands for its deep sea fishing, and clear waters. The 'last fishing village' in Hawaii is just a 10 minute drive within the Milolii Beach Lots subdivision, where an approx. 15 min. hiking trail leading to a coconut tree lined black sand beach (Honomalino), offers fantastic snorkeling.

The village has a County boat ramp and camp grounds, and offers easy access for kayaking and deep sea fishing.

Milolii offers some of the most underdeveloped stretches of coastline on the Big Island, with secret beaches to explore. It's also a neighborhood with homes nearby.

Seasonal whale watching and Spinner Dolphins. Humpback Whales visit the Hawaiian waters annually from November through May. These endangered mammals enjoy the state's warm waters in the winter to breed, give birth and nurse their young.

Spectacular sunsets can be viewed directly from the oceanfront house. Have your camera ready! Milolii......'where the sun meets the sea', and everyone says hello!

We lived the house and the location. What great views.
8 / 10Excellent·Feb 2026
Host was readily available and communicated concerns. We loved being so close to the water but were not able to fully appreciate it due to high tides everyday

Beautiful home. Everything was exactly as the listing describes it, and more. Yes the road going down is very steep and scary, and you need to bring your own drinking water, as they are on rainwater catchment system. But, we knew this going in. It's described in the listing and other's reviews. We would definitely go back. Kirsten was always in reachable via text, etc. if we had questions. We saw whales from the lanai every day. Lot's to do on the Kona side. Just be prepared to drive a while to get to them. It's definitely off the beaten path, which is how we personally like it.Mahalo Nui loa Kirsten!

The kitchen was very well equipped and the owner provided many convenient things like shampoo and conditioner. We loved sitting on the lanai and watching for whales. We only saw one, but we kept watching.
