Photos and Description of the Waipio vacation house rental
House, 5 Bedrooms + Sleeping Porch, 4.5 Baths, (Sleeps 10)

Keywords: High on a bluff 600 ft above Waipio Bay, on property once owned by King Kamehameha IV, sits Hale 'Io. Magical sunsets and sunrises without the glare or heat, Maui on the horizon, gentle nightime rains to lull you to sleep (and make the rainbows) and a quiet and peacefulness so hard to find - this is the magic of Hale 'Io. Lush surroundings, sexy pool with concealed rock slide and waterfall and views that never quit, never. Watch whales from the lanai or ocean deck, awaken to the birds, listen to the wind - it really speaks to you here.

Owner-built, architect designed, custom home for laid back family living. Lush grounds, organic fruit orchard, ample parking, sexy beach-entry pool, magnificent kitchen - 2 dishwashers, 2 microwaves, 2 ovens, warming drawer - fit for the accomplished cook. Color abounds to reflect the natural hues of Hawaii. The house is the color of the ocean, both deep and shallow water and inside is a rainbow cacophony that no photos can do justice. Simply stunning for the non color-phobes! Many exotic woods and finishes, but truly designed for in and out living and a laid back lifestyle. Culinary tours originate here and the chef is available for your private repast. You can sleep a lot more than 10 here, but need

to believe that the comfy sofa, futons and pune' on the lanai are OK for overnights. Don't worry, you'll believe, as that is where you'll nap! Bring the kids, but they have to sign the contract about the cliff, the pool, the sliding hill and the fort ;-) - which means they must be at least the age of reason and capable of understanding the danger. Pool is completely fenced, cliff is not.

Five bedrooms, 3 with ensuite bathrooms, one with 'across the hall' bathroom and one without. Two lush outdoor showers. Secret room.....if you can find it, you can sleep there.

Why Eileen Levin chose Waipio

This was our home. If you could build a luxury home in Yosemite, you would, right? This property is simply magical. The ocean views are stunning.

What makes this house unique

Nature abounds in many forms and that is what we have enjoyed the most. Hard to beat watching whales from the lanai.

the best view on the island

Submitted: May 14, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
My family was looking for a house for a week long family reunion. Once we saw the pictures of Hale 'Io we couldn't convince ourselves to stay anywhere else, and we were not disappointed. The views are amazing and the variations in the weather make you want to keep checking it out. We never ate a meal inside because the view from the lanai was so enticing. The house was fantastic - beautifully decorated, comfortable, and usable. The rooms are set up really well for multiple families because the bedrooms each have their own bathroom. We brought kids ages 5-11 and they loved the pool, the water slide, the yard games, the board games, the piano, and the secret room. The pool area alone could have kept them occupied for days, but we did want to visit the rest of the island. We were a little worried about it being too remote, but it was easy to get out and there is a full grocery store only a short drive away. The location was convenient for visiting both the Kona side and the Hilo side. The owner was very responsive and helpful, and we would certainly love to go back again. We all joked that no other vacation is ever going to live up to this one!

Hands down best private rental on the island

This was the most incredible location I can imagine. The view alone will knock your socks off. If you like yoga, there is a yoga / lookout deck that overlooks Waipio and the Pacific that is just majestic. The house itself is very tastefully designed and decorated - fully loaded kitchen & bar area with a lava rock grotto pool area complete with a hot tub and even a waterslide! The day bed in the center of the house provided me with one of the most peaceful naps that I have ever had, no exaggeration. The property is well manicured and all the amenities were in working order while we stayed. We had such an amazing time - it was worth every penny. I can stop talking about this place to my friends and relatives...

The best view ever, amazing house, great pool/hot tub/waterslide, everything included

This place is amazing! Pictures cannot capture the true beauty of the ocean vistas. Almost every room in the house has an incredible view of the ocean, cliffs, a waterfall,or the Wai'pio Valley. We saw whales and dolphins playing in the ocean below.

The house is spacious, well-decorated, comfortable and has everything you need to make a big meal including: gas ranges, rice cooker, crock pot, built in wok, outdoor grill, lots of dishes, 2 dishwashers and much more. There are 2 big tables (one indoor and one outdoor) that can accommodate at least 10. There is one big patio (lanai) that is great for hanging out or relaxing, there are also several smaller patios that are good for reading a book or taking a nap. An observation deck offers even more great views. The house has internet, a big cable TV, a nice collection of board games and books, and stylish and comfortable furniture throughout. There is a nice, lush lawn that is great for laying out or lawn games.

The whole property is very well landscaped. There are tons of tropical plants and fruit trees. The plants in the pool area are especially lovely. The waterslide is terrific! There are lots of towels, comfy bathrobes, and nice linens.

The owner was great! She was very knowledgeable about the area and made sure we had everything we needed and was very attentive. The place is very well kept up, everything was very clean. There is a lot to do in the area, but this house is so amazing that it can be hard to leave even for a day trip.

I have never stayed in such a great place! The views cannot be beat and the house is stocked with everything you need to enjoy your stay. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking to spend some time at a very special place. I already want to go back!

Wonderful house and location

We stayed for a week at this beautiful property. The views are wonderful (Waipio Valley, the cliffs and sometimes even Maui in the distance) and the house has every amenity you could possibly want. Its beautifully designed, with a chef's kitchen, plenty of relaxing space, 4 spacious bedrooms, and a lovely lanai. The pool and hot tub are an added bonus.

Only 15 minutes away from the town of Honokaa, and just steps away from fantastic hiking and sightseeing.

Overall, a beautiful, relaxing space!

There are several words that come to mind when I think of this vacation home: stunning, gorgeous, breathtaking, secluded, relaxing, and vibrant! My fiancee and I stayed at Hale 'Io with 7 other friends and had a BLAST!

There are so many valuable amenities at this vacation home. My favorite features were definitely the patio, the observation deck, and the beautiful tropical landscaping.
