Hale Hokulea - Private Oceanfront Estate on 16 Acres
Welcome to one of Hawaiiโ€™s most secluded luxurious ocean front estates!
Our family vacation home is situated on a 16-acre heart of palm plantation along the Scenic Route. As you enter the gated estate, you will feel like you have left the stresses of life behind. The property is surrounded by breathtaking ocean views and open agricultural lands, which create a sense of privacy and seclusion. You will drive down a spectacular driveway and see a beautifully hand crafted cliff top plantation style home, which is completely off grid.
Thanks to the homeโ€™s cliffside position on the Hilo side of the island, fresh ocean breezes flow through the property all day and night, keeping the interior cool and comfortable. Thatโ€™s why weโ€™ve chosen to have ceiling fans and large windows throughout the estate instead of air conditioningโ€”letting you enjoy Hawaiiโ€™s natural climate the way it was meant to be.
The estate is 20 minutes from Hilo International Airport, 10 minutes from downtown Hilo, and just 4 miles (about a 10-minute drive) from the closest swimming beach. The world-famous Volcano National Park is also within an hourโ€™s drive of the estate.

Summary: I actually hate to write a review for this property because itโ€™s so great! Crashing waves at night allowed restful sleep and whales in the morning with Breakfast. We were here in 2014, and while Hilo has grown, driving upcountry was a great experience.
