Photos and Description of the Milolii vacation house rental
4+ Bedrooms, 2.5 Bathrooms, Walk into Black Sand Beach

Aloha Friends, The Puhala Hale is a newly constructed (Jan. 08) 4+ Bedroom, 2.5 Bath home, on the Big Island of Hawaii. It boasts 180 Degree panoramic ocean views and access to one of the most exclusive black sand beaches on the Big Island. Leave the pressures of life behind and relax at this one-of-a-kind retreat.

Puhala’s Amenities and Features Include:

• 4+ Bedrooms. 2.5 Baths, 2,551 Sq. Ft plus lanai

• Swimming Pool with Deck overlooking sweeping coastal views

• 5th Bedroom/Recreation Room with Billiard Table, Entertainment Center

• 1-Acre Panoramic Ocean View Lot with Concrete Drive

• Huge furnished ocean view lanais with ceiling fans and tile

• Decorated and Furnished with Contemporary Hawaiian Styling

• Bamboo Hardwood Floors, Travertine Tile, Wall to Wall Carpet in bedrooms

• Jacuzzi Tub in Master Bath

• 3 Flat Screen SAT TV/DVD/VCR with Games and Video Library

• Vintage Era Asian Bath Vanities with Designer Glass Vessel Sinks

• Italian Imported Granite counter

The Puhala Hale is located 33 miles south from Kailua-Kona, and 63 miles from the Volcano. The 45-minute coastal drive south of Kailua-Kona through coffee country is well worth it to enjoy this rural retreat that is still convenient and within a ten-minute drive to groceries and more. Milolii is a quiet coastal area, perfect to relax and enjoy the laid back Hawaiian lifestyle, though close enough to take short trips to golf, shop and fine dine. Puhala Hale is convenient to Kona and the Hilo Airports, as well as a short drive to Volcano National Park, City of Refuge, Black Sand Beach and Hawaii’s South Point. The Milolii area is world renowned for its pristine ocean waters and awesome deep-sea fishing opportunities. The area allows you to explore tide pools, caves and lava tubes while hiking along historical sites and ancient walls.

The Puhala Hale comes equipped with snorkel gear since it’s just a few minutes drive down to the water and beaches were snorkeling and scuba diving is world class. Humpback Whale season is Dec.-March. So whale watching (and hearing at night) can become your favorite pastime. Just minutes to the beach, there is a small park with a secret trail head to the coconut lined black sand beach of Honomalino, where you may by chance get to swim with the sea turtles and spinner dolphins while sun tanning and enjoying the pristine beach and waters.

Beautiful Decor, Away from the Crowds!

Submitted: August 3, 2011 Stayed: March 2011
Dear Linda,Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your wonderful home. What a great place. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the views were lovely. You decorated the house beautifully. The kitchen was terrific to work in and we appreciated finding a few items we had forgotten like coffee filters. We played pool and sat out under the stars. We loved hearing the birds in the morning and being away from the crowds in Kona.
You created such a welcoming vibe by keeping the experience casual, I wouldn't change that but an information sheet about local spots might be good to have on hand. We only figured out the path to Honomolino on the last day. And, the markets in Ocean View.
We will recommend you to others. Sending best wishes,

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this wonderful home. What a great place. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the views were incrdible. The house is beautifully decorated, the kitchen was terrific to work in, fully stocked with appliances like a blender and waffle iron. We appreciated finding a few items we had forgotten like spices and coffee filters. We even played pool in a wonderful game room when we werent sitting out under the stars. We loved hearing the birds in the morning and being away from the crowds in Kona.

There is a welcoming vibe, and the experience is totally casual yet gracious. The local spots like Honomolino, the markets in Ocean View, and easy day trips to Kona and South Point make it a good place to stay between excursions..It is in the dry part of the island, heavenly! We circumnavigated the island in a week's time with an overnight in Volcano. Always glad to get back to our place on the hill.

We will recommend this spot to others.

Would not recommend this property

1 of 5
Submitted: February 7, 2011 Stayed: December 2010
I am not sure what happened between 2008 and December 2010 when we stayed here but I would not recommend this place to anyone Aside from the fact we arrived and the place was a mess, we had to ask for our first night rental back after the owner promised to refund and to this date, have not received our security deposit back, again after the owner promised to send it to us. This place is an unorganized mess and is not what is promised on the site.

In regards to amenities: listings are not accurate
Property well maintained: no
Good Customer service:no
Recommend to anyone: no
The beach here is amazing.. definately would go back to the beach...
Owner's Response: There was a mix up for the very first time for the check in! We have refunded the guests their 1-night stay as well as the cleaning fee! IWe produced everything promised to them. With the ill feelings I am sure they could not be happy no matter what. We have a great blog on our web site that shows how great the house is and how satisfied our guests have been. Things happen and nobody is perfect. We have a good track record. Mahalo

Linda,
We had a fabulous week at your wonderful Hale! Very relaxing and much quieter than the Hilo-side since the frogs haven’t taken-up residence here yet-! We’ve explored most of the island during our three weeks here yet we’ve always looked forward to returning to your house at the end of the day and sit back with a glass of wine! You did a great job both building and decorating this mountain side paradise! You know you’ve had a great holiday when you forget what day it is...somehow it doesn’t seem to matter so much around here!
We’re going to miss it...
Mahalo,

Linda,
We had a wonderful time. The house is beautiful and quiet. We had two wonderful swims with the dolphins (Honomalino Black Sand Beach).
Many thanks.

Dear Linda,

Just a quick note and much belated thank you for giving us the info
about going down to see the Spinner Dolphins. We had great luck! The
pod was not far from shore, and we swam out with our snorkels and
masks and spent an hour with them. It was extraordinary! They seemed
very comfortable with us around, and were mating and playing and
spinning. We even saw a mother and baby. It was heaven! We were
right in the middle of the group, close enough to touch them had we
tried, and they swam around us and under us, swam off and then
returned, over and over. Had we not had to leave, I think that we
could easily have spent another hour amongst them. What a treat. We
felt like we had an experience of a lifetime.

Your house is lovely and so well appointed. We apologize that we left
such a huge quantity of garbage and didn’t do as good a job as we
would have liked in straightening up. We stayed so long with the
dolphins that we had to rush to catch our plane.

Our stay on the Big Island was memorable and a big success. We had a
day of kayaking and snorkeling, a day of hiking at the Volcano and
then the thrill of swimming with the dolphins. My daughter was so
thrilled with it all—she and her husband almost never get away for
long weekends on the outer islands. (After ten years on Oahu, this
was my daughter’s first time!). We were so glad to make it such a
special trip!

Many thanks again for making sure we headed down to the beach in
town—we may not have done so if you hadn’t encouraged us and given us
good directions. And, thanks too for the Kamaina Rate!

All the best,
Suzy G and Bob S

Hi Linda,

Chantal here. First of all, I just wanted to express my gratitude. My family and I just left the Puhala Hale (aka paradise). I just wanted to let you know that your hale was perfect for our little family reunion. You had everything that we needed and we were able to explore the Big Island to the fullest while staying all together. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.


Sincerely,
Chantal

Linda,

We just returned yesterday from our trip to Hawaii. I just wanted to let you know what a great time we had the week we stayed at your house (we were so busy I forgot to write a note in your book). The house was great, beautiful and even better than you described (though I can say I didn’t enjoy traveling the winding road to get there – but my family always tells me I don’t have an adventurous bone in my body). Thank you for the beach recommendations. We really enjoyed Honomalino Beach and we absolutely loved the snorkeling at Pu’uhonua o Honaunau (the way we’ve described it so far is like being dropped in the middle of an aquarium). The coolers that you had were a lifesaver when it came to packing lunches and taking them with us each day.

Our last day on the Big Island some of us went on the Manta Ray night dive (which they highly recommend).

Thank you again for the use of your house!

Aloha Linda,
We thoroughly enjoyed are stay here in Puhala Hale. We started our trip in Honolulu, then on to Mauna Lani...and your home was definitely the cram of the crop. During our stay we hiked in to the black sand beach, went to South Point and hiked in to Volcano Park!
We will cherish the memories always!!
