Walk to Waialea Bay, pool, AC, Oceanview
Breathtaking vistas meet indoor-outdoor living. Perched in a gated neighborhood, this gracious two-story residence offers panoramic views of Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, the Kohala Mountains, and Waialea Bay from nearly every vantage point . With 3,700 square feet of living space and an expansive 2,000 square feet of covered lanai, it’s built for both comfort and unforgettable sunsets.
Thoughtfully designed for family bliss. Inside, you’ll find two living rooms and a fully equipped kitchen with a Sub-Zero fridge, propane stovetop, and walk‑in pantry—perfect for preparing meals or gathering with family. A dedicated keiki (children’s) play area comes with a small table and chairs, toys, high chair, and pack‑and‑play, making it ultra‑family-friendly.
Comfort in every room. All four bedrooms feature air conditioning—though the common living spaces remain open-air, embracing that beautiful Hawaiian breeze. The primary suite on the ground floor includes a king bed, TV, and walk-in closet, connected via a Jack-and-Jill bathroom to a second king-bedded room. An additional full bath opens to the lanai and pool area for added convenience. Upstairs, you’ll find a third bedroom with one queen and two twin beds, as well as a fourth bedroom with a king bed—serviced by a full bathroom with double sinks.
Resort-style amenities in private serenity. Live the Hawaiian dream with multiple outdoor dining areas, a grill, and your own private pool. There’s even an outdoor shower for rinsing off after beach adventures. Located near Waialea Bay in the Puako area, the home offers access to ocean activities such as snorkeling, swimming, and beachcombing.
Why Guests Love It: Guests consistently rate Hale Wailani highly. Reviews mention sparkling cleanliness, thoughtful amenities, attentive service, and the sheer joy of waking up to ocean views and lounging poolside. One guest described morning coffee on the lanai overlooking the ocean as “dreamy,” while another highlighted the easy beach access and vibrant snorkeling experiences—including spotting octopus and manta rays.
Hale Wailani is the perfect getaway for families or groups seeking spacious, stylish accommodations, set against the iconic beauty of Hawaii’s Kohala Coast. The captivating views, comfortable layout, and thoughtful amenities make it a destination that creates lasting memories.
The home is listed as having air conditioning, as each bedroom has AC. There is NOT AC in the other living areas.

Our stay in Hale Wailani was very nice. We loved the pool and the easy access to one of the best swimming coves on Hawaii. The snorkeling was very good too. Good for multi-generational groups. The house was equipped with just about anything you could want and Mary was great support. Please be aware that the kitchen and living rooms are not air conditioned and can get hot in the afternoon. The heated pool was a lovely way to cool off. We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood, especially the dark skies at night. We saw many shooting stars in August.

This was our second stay at Hale Wailani and it was even better than the first. The 2Papayas staff thoughtfully ensure every detail of your stay is perfect. The well-equipped kitchen has all the necessities. The pool is the icing on the cake, enjoyed by both adults and children alike. Thank you, owners, for sharing your home.

Very nice property. The family very much enjoyed this property and location.
The house was perfect in every way. Beautiful pool & lanai, wonderful views, short walk to a lovely beach. The house had everything you could ask for and the manager was extremely responsive and helpful.
The house was well-stocked and roomy. We very much enjoyed the pool and lanai. The views were breathtaking. We also appreciated the use of pool toys.
I would definitely recommend this property for families

My party of 8 had a wonderful stay in this house. It is largely open to the garden and pool with a lanai and an large upper balcony overlooking the water. We spent mornings enjoying coffee on the upper patio off the bedrooms and TV room. The house is well stocked with basics in the kitchen including condiments and spices. The host was very helpful with a few small issues we had. The location is perfect for exploring the many wonderful beaches in the area. We really enjoyed our stay.
A very comfortable house nicely organized with all the amenities we could need. There was even a special play area for kids. We played every day in the pool and walked the short distance to the special beach. Great communication and support from Mary!
Our family of 10 enjoyed a week at Puako and were so sad to leave. The house had everything we needed, as well as a pool that the kids loved and a small beach with great snorkeling. Larger beaches were within a short driving distance.
The house is comfortable but not fussy and Mary the property manager was so great with communication. We hope to be back!
