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.

The ocean views and sound of waves every day was spectacular and the proximity to so many of the sites that Hilo has to offer was wonderful. The only negative part of our stay was acclimating to the climate with limited air conditioning, which is a challenge for midwesterners who are used to a/c everywhere. So keep that in mind with this property (and many restaurants/shops throughout the area), and plan to be outside during the day enjoying the beautiful views and go swimming at the black sand beaches! ##### Cari S. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Valerie M. 16 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We absolutely are in love with this home. The house is situated on top of hardened black lava. It is an incredibly special property. The large lanais overlooks the ocean, and the gardens are beautiful. We cooked several meals, and found the kitchen well equipped. All of us slept well, the bedrooms all have king beds. It's the perfect location to explore the Hilo area. Put on the Hawaiian rollercoaster song while on the road to the house; it is a paved road with smooth ups and downs, and soon our family would be oohing and ahhing all the way to the Whale House at the end of our excursions. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/42892657-b4f0-4350-b878-0c984197b2da-1755323052987.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Valerie M.

Perfect location for day trips, everything is about 30 minutes away. Once here though you do not want to leave. Morning sunrises on the property with coffee were stunning.

Plenty of room for our family of 6\. Kitchen is well stocked. The lanai and the view from it is amazing! We saw numerous whales during our stay. So many extras like beach towels, snorkel gear, coolers, chairs, etc. that were available for our use was great. Only negative is the musty basement, but that's understandable with the high humidity and that it is not always in use. ##### Diane K. Stayed 9 nights in Jan 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Laura G. 14 Nov 2018 #### Would recommend and rent again! Great property, only complaint was we had to climb in through an open window, no access keys were left, and the downstairs shower leaked into a room we didn’t use, only had 6 people, but if we had 8 people that wouldn’t have been good. Looks like the owners knew of the leak, carpet had been pulled up. Great for families and groups. Kitchen set up was good, the lanai just wonderful for eating meals. ##### Laura G.

The beds are very comfortable, especially the soft sheets. David and Chrystal have thought of everything! I loved the beautiful grounds. Every day we walked out to the ocean, and listened to the waves crashing. We have family on this side of the island, so they took us on many excursions. We ate at Kaleo’s in Orchidland twice. I highly recommend it. We took a day trip to the Kona side and enjoyed swimming at Hāpuna Beach. There is so much to see and experience. ##### Madeleine G. Stayed 9 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charley S. 19 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Whale House Stay The house was great with a superb location. It can be a bit hot inside the house in the late afternoon and early evening but we didn't care because we preferred to spend the whole evening out on the covered front deck watching the ocean. The house has lots of windows to let the breezes through and they provide a lot of fans if needed. The accompanying oceanfront lot across the street was also a great place to spend the mornings and evenings. The house had a lot of amenities that made the stay very pleasureable. ##### Charley S.

Even though the days were intermittently drizzly, there was no shortage peaceful space to enjoy the scenery. The art inside the house was delightful! The house was well provisioned for food and fun. Bonus was that it was close enough for daily outings and adventures but far enough out of "town" to feel secluded (and secure). We ran into a little snafu with the keys and lock box. The hosts were on top of it! Highly recommend! ##### Sheryl W.

Watching the sunrise over the ocean every morning was a special treat. The house is very well appointed, very clean, and the beds where all comfortable. The only suggestion from our party was about the downstairs suite. There is no A/C which wasn't a major issue temperature-wise but getting decent airflow required all of the windows to be open at night and coqui frogs were incredibly loud even with multiple fans running. ##### Katherine W.

Two rooms upstairs for the adults and a cool little apartment for the kids downstairs! It couldn’t have been better laid out or more beautiful! Clean, amazing sunrises, awesome neighborhood!! The only compliant is no beach access- but we knew that going in. I would highly recommend this amazing property to anyone who wants a true authentic big island experience! Mahalo ##### Emily P.
