About this house rental
Hale Kai Hawaii Suites offers four oceanfront rooms (booked individually) and a spectacular, panoramic view of the blue Pacific Ocean and Hilo Bay. We overlook the popular Honolii surfing beach in a peaceful location just 2 miles north of historic Hilo Town. Revel in the best views in Hilo while at our pool and oceanfront lanai!
The Heritage Room offers a queen bed, private bathroom with shower, WiFi, SMART TV, small fridge/freezer, microwave, coffee maker, hot water pot, toaster, dishes and utensils, ceiling and portable fans, no air conditioning, and sliding door to lanai. Continental breakfast items are stocked daily and we invite all guests to swim in the pool or lounge on the oceanfront lanai.
A few NOTES: One parking spot is provided per room in this quiet residential neighborhood. All Guest Rooms are facing the ocean on the lower level of the property and there are over 30 steps down (pictured) to traverse to the rooms. Guests are responsible for carrying their luggage to their rooms. Bookings limited to 2 guests per room (including children). Quiet hours are 9pm to 8am for the comfort of all of our guests, Mahalo!

Hale Kai Hawaii is recommended in the leading online sites and guidebooks for the Hawaiian Islands, including TripAdvisor, Frommer's, Fodors, Lonely Planet, Off the Beaten Path, Ulysses, Rough, Moon, and Hawaii, The Big Island Revealed.

Number 1 plus great breakfast. Number 2 plus you CAN NOT beat the view!
8 / 10Excellent·Nov 2025
The location of the room is amazing as it directly faces the ocean and they provide wholesome breakfast which is a nice touch!
But there are some logistical issues with the property:
1. the 4 car parking space is the most uncomfortable lot I have ever encountered. It’s like someone drew the parking lot on a paper and forgot to take into consideration the ground reality.
2. The room doesn’t have any AC which could become an issue during hotter days.
3. There are a lot (a lot) of stairs to get to the rooms, so not accessible friendly at all!
4. If you’re staying in one of the farther rooms, there is no WiFi signal in those rooms, despite the property claiming it offers WiFi.
5. This property is part of larger Rentals and the only form of communication is via text but you never know with whom you’re chatting. They’re pretty responsive but it just felt weird!
Overall the staff is friendly, service is good but wouldn’t really recommend staying here if you have other options.

Great location for surfers as there is a view of the break. Reaching the break requires a car, though it's close enough to see waves and those riding them. The room was clean. Breakfast was yummy and shifted to meet dietary issues. Place is close to town for shopping and restaurants. We'll be back. This room is the smallest and we'll likely choose bigger for next time.

Reviewer Comments:
Small room & lanai. Right on the ocean, great views. Parking tight & difficult. Many steps up & down. No AC. The screen door was rusted shut, forced it open about 15 inches. No one on sight to manage, only cleanup crew. Very little privacy. Made the best of it, wouldn’t go back.
