Live like Hawaiian royalty catching (or watching) waves at the island\`s most consistent surf break in your front yard. Stand Up Paddle board up the peaceful Honoli\`i stream, or celebrating a vow renewal or wedding in the Stream-front Amphitheater, your family and friends will truly remember this one-of-a-kind Hawaiian Resort Home. There are certain places on earth that capture an essence of place like no other. Honoli\`i Hale is one of them. As you enter this resort style property at the top level and descend the stairs into the magical private enclave that of Honoli\`i Hale you will truly feel the \`mana or spirit of the ancient Hawaiians who once lived in this beautiful place. Uniquely situated at the confluence of the Honoli\`i Stream, the Maile Stream and the Honoli\`i Beach, this unique residence boasts the absolute best in location, amenities and comfort, but most of all, the genuine modern authentic Hawaiian experience of living in a truly unique place. Resort living in this property boasts hand hewn lava rock construction, hand harvested and stained Ohia trunks, craftsman style finishes inside and out, all situated in one of the most idyllic settings, surrounded by ocean, river, mountains and valley that makes for a property that embodies the place, experience and the absolute best of what we call the Aloha Spirit. There are 4 bedrooms with beds for 12, with an additional baby crib, and temporary bedding available which can increase capacity by up to 16. The Bungalow below the Garage, is essentially a junior suite with half bathroom and kitchenette that can sleep three, and is likely a spot for the kids to enjoy. Its lanai overlooks the river, the ocean and the whales when they are in season. Further down the stairs into the main house, you\`ll find a 360 degree wrap around porch with stone tile, Ohia posts, with a large Mango Wood dining table that seats 10 and one of the best parts of the lanai are the multiple nooks and hideaway seating areas for the readers in the group to escape or for a pair of old friends to find a quiet spot with a view and catch up. This wrap around porch creates such a generous feel of spaciousness with easy access to the entire main level, it\`s easily one of our favorite aspects of this home. Entering into the majestic front door, you\`ll find yourself in the living area with leather seating, driftwood finished tables and a newly renovated kitchen outfitted with all the necessary touches and new stainless steel appliances for a large family gathering. The large sliding glass doors out to the lanai create the ultimate in indoor/outdoor Hawaiian style living. The main kitchen in the upstairs open-concept living space is complemented by another downstairs food prep area that can serve as overflow or a great spot to store and serve snacks for the surfers or the water bugs that will spend time on the beach or swimming in the stream. Additionally there is an outdoor grilling area behind the home as well as additional grills located on the bottom level out by the Halau (Halau is Hawaiian word for a large open structure near the ocean or the waters edge for teaching the art of hula) Continuing the main level tour there is the original master bedroom which features two sliding doors to the lanai, views of the ocean or the river and a full dual-vanity bathroom, custom tiled shower with bench and private water closet. Heading downstairs the beautiful staircase trimmed in stained Ohia, you\`ll see the massive window looking out to the \`point\` surf break, and then continue to the lower level to the generous and tastefully designed Master Suite which features hand hewn laval treatments, a King Bed, a generous chaise lounge that doubles as a twin bed, a desk for working, and 3 large glass sliding doors for direct access to the lower front lanai that faces the ocean or the generous side lanai with access to the lower lawn and the river. The large Master Bathroom features a beautiful soaker tub, double vanities and a custom shower that features an original boulder as a unique center piece to the large shower. Also downstairs is the nautical themed guest bedroom that features two queen beds and dueling views of the ocean and stream with two large sliding glass doors. Continuing outside to the left towards the stream we find the Honoli\`i Halau, the large open structure with unobstructed views of the ocean and views back towards Hilo. This structure is designed to serve many purposes, but it is a perfect use for an outdoor dining area, or a small wedding or vow renewal venue with plenty of room for an extended ohana, because it includes amphitheater style seating that faces the river. Perfect for two loved ones committing or re-committing to a lifetime of love. Back towards the house there is the downstairs food prep area which serves as a great spot for storing catering or big box store items as well as the outdoor shower and foot washing area above the beach path, and of course the paved path down to the gate with access to Honoli\`i beach.

Nestled along the beautiful Honolii Beachfront in Hilo, this house offers a serene escape where the lush beauty of the Big Island meets the soothing sound of the ocean. Just steps away from the Honolii Stream, which flows gently into the Pacific Ocean, you\`ll enjoy a front-row seat to nature’s wonders, from tropical flora to abundant wildlife. The area is known for its peaceful atmosphere, perfect for morning walks along the shoreline or exploring nearby tide pools. Hilo’s charming downtown with its shops, restaurants, and local attractions is just a short drive away, offering a mix of convenience and seclusion. Whether you’re an avid surfer, nature lover, or simply seeking a quiet retreat, this location offers a unique and tranquil Hawaiian experience. Getting around the neighborhood is easy and convenient, with the house offering two dedicated garage parking spots for your use. Additional street parking is available, though it can fill up quickly on busy beach days, so it\`s a good idea to secure a spot if you\`ll have more than 2 cars. The area is perfect for leisurely walks, whether you\`re strolling along Honolii Beach or exploring the nearby stream. Hilo\`s downtown, shops, and restaurants are just a short drive away, and the scenic drive along the coast offers a relaxing way to explore the island. If you\`re exploring the island or nearby attractions, having a car is best for getting around the islands. If you plan to stay at the house during your stay, it is a short uber or taxi ride from the Hilo airport. Guests should be comfortable walking up or down approximately two and a half flights of stairs to exit the property from the bottom level. Honolii Hale is nestled right on the water and seamlessly integrated into the lush Hawaiian jungle, offering a truly unique experience. While this natural setting is part of what makes the property so extraordinary, it also means that, as is typical in Hawaiian nature, there will be occasional bugs. To ensure your comfort, we have the house regularly treated to minimize their presence as much as possible. 1\. No smoking of tobacco or any other organic material on the property. 2\.

However, the description of the amenities provided was misleading. There was no kayak as listed and the paddle boards and other water supplies were old and falling apart. We ripped our board shorts on the paddle board because it was broken and we were just very thankful it wasn't our flesh. It shouldn't be there as it's a liability. The surfboards were useless, basically garbage. The property was very relaxing and comfortable though, but we were looking forward to using the outdoor water toys as advertised so that was s great disappointment to us. Would have been 5 stars across the board if for better water toys ##### Melinda R. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025
