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!

This home in Milolii was the most extraordinary vacation rental we have ever booked. It was complete solitude, peace, and beauty. The pictures and description of the property on the VRBO site are accurate. I would have enjoyed some air conditioning sometimes, but the fans and sea breezes helped. We did not use the available kayaks or snorkeling equipment, or the washer and dryer. We took other reviewers recommendations and rented a four wheel drive vehicle. Not exactly necessary, but helpful going up and down the mountain road to the home. As others have said, I would recommend getting there in the daylight--at least the first time you drive it. It truly is a good distance from any food, gas, or store, so we made sure to hit the Walmart in Kona after we flew to the island. We also always brought home supper so we could enjoy the sun's spectacular show every evening on the patio or the lanai. There was never any noise at the house other than the waves lapping outside. It was incredibly peaceful. This home was truly something special and we will never regret it or forget the days we spent at this special spot. We were also blessed on this trip to see Kilauea's 50th eruption in its current cycle of eruptions that started on 12/23/24. We were driving to Hilo that day when we spotted the eruption in the distance. We never made it to Hilo because we couldn't stop watching the event from the road and from the Volcano National Park that day. Truly, this was an unforgettable vacation!

Overall, this was an excellent visit to the big island and a great place to stay. A few things to highlight about the property were: stunning sunsets over the ocean, immaculately maintained snorkeling equipment, quiet neighborhood and well equipped kitchen. The out of the way location (minimum 40 minute drive) of the property encouraged us to diligently plan our days to experience all that the island has to offer. Two things of note from the Hawaii Belt Road the drive to the house is very steep with a number of switchbacks, after 13 hours of flights and layovers this caught us a bit off guard and we were thankful that we rented a SUV for this portion of the drive, secondly while incredibly well maintained and cared for the living room set is pretty rough. When my first sat down we were well aware of where the supporting springs were. We would love to come back during whale watching season and hopefully enjoy some high surf days on the lanai.

The house was great. Location is absolutely perfect if you’re looking for a quiet getaway in a spectacular location. We can’t say enough good things about our host, Kirsten. We faced ongoing weather challenges throughout our stay and she keep us informed and updated on alerts from the weather service, but even more so, was helpful, and extremely supportive during some challenges we faced during the trip. Highly recommend.

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
