Located on a quiet peninsula just outside of Hilo, the Whale House is a stand-alone residence for one guest, family or group. Located in Kaloli Point where it is said it has the best weather on the Hilo side... some say better than Kona. A truly unique house built directly on top of an ancient lava flow. Unlike all other houses in the area, a tractor did not level the lava to build a structure. The Whale House is constructed entirely on original, untouched lava flow just yards from the Pacific Ocean.
The Whale House is a stand-alone house that is rented to only one guest, or guest group at a time. It boasts a huge wraparound lanai providing stunning ocean and garden views. This 1820 square foot house includes a full size kitchen with a dishwasher. Two identical Master Suites are on the second floor, each with comfortable king beds and private en-suite bathrooms. there are two additional bedrooms on the ground floor (each with a king bed). The two ground floor bedrooms shares a bathroom (located in the garden view bed room). Access to the main (2nd) floor from the ground floor is via the two outside stair ways. The Whale House also has a hot/cold outdoor bamboo enclosed shower to wash off the day's stresses. We have fruiting coconut palms, papayas, bananas and pineapples on the lush half acre property.
For your enjoyments, bicycles, a large gas BBQ, coolers, boogie boards, snorkel gears, hammocks, fishing gears and binoculars are provided free of charge for you to enjoy the trails, the neighborhoods and all that the big island has to offer. The wrap around Lanai offers quiet, lush garden or magnificent ocean views and cool trade wind breezes or for whale watching during their migrating season.
You may rent a single bedroom or all four, but either way, the house is never shared with strangers. One bedroom is $240/night. Each additional guest over 2 persons is an additional $30/night. However, if you are a party of 2 and want two separate rooms, it is going to be an additional $30/night. NOTE: due to the booking company's algorithms, the default booking occupancy is two occupants per room. If you need separate rooms (ie. 4 guests needing 3 rooms) you MUST message us either before or after booking so we can calculate the extra room charge separately. No matter what, only one guest or guest group stays at the house. There will be no other people to share the property. Un-rented rooms will be locked and you have access to everything else.
We (the owners) in rare instances and with prior notice, reserve the rights to occupy the empty lower floor bedrooms for upkeep or emergency maintenance purposes.
Feel free to take a look at our facebook page: Whale House Hawaii.
Located in Keaau, this vacation home is in a rural area and by the ocean. Hilo Municipal Golf Course and Regal Prince Kuhio are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Kilauea Caverns of Fire and Ha'ena Beach. Hobby Garden Hawaii and Hiʻiaka's Healing Hawaiian Herb Garden are also worth visiting. Kayaking and scuba diving offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with cycling and horse riding nearby.
