Newly Renovated 3-Level Oceanfront Home with Breathtaking Views & Sea Life

Kai Honu Hale – Oceanfront Bliss on Hawaii’s East Side
Where Sea Turtles Glide by Your Window and the Pacific Fills Your Soul

Welcome to Kai Honu Hale, the Ocean Turtle House — your unforgettable escape on the magical east side of the Big Island. Newly renovated in June 2025, perched right at the ocean’s edge, this three-level gem offers a rare “floating on water” experience that brings you closer to Hawaii’s natural beauty than you ever imagined.

From the moment you arrive, the sweeping 180-degree, unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean will take your breath away. Watch turtles drift by, dolphins play, and—during winter—the awe-inspiring sight of whales breaching just offshore. Every room in this beautifully designed 2-bedroom home with a spacious open-concept loft and 2 full bathrooms delivers front-row seats to the magic of the sea.

Wake up to stunning sunrises, sip coffee from your private lanai, and fall asleep to the soothing sounds of crashing waves. Our home is nestled in a quiet, walkable neighborhood — perfect for morning strolls or evening star-gazing. It’s just a 7-minute drive to the charming town of Pahoa with its eclectic shops and diverse dining, and only 45 minutes from the incredible Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

Inside, you’ll find a bright and airy living space with panoramic windows and daily turtle sightings right from your sofa. Enjoy a 37" flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi, a well-equipped kitchen, and an outdoor charcoal BBQ for sunset grilling (just bring your charcoal).

We’re locals, and we’re happy to help make your trip even more special with insider tips and recommendations. From must-see sights to hidden gems, we’re here for you. Located just 30–35 minutes from Hilo International Airport, Kai Honu Hale is both accessible and wonderfully secluded.

Amazing location where the back yard neighbor is the Pacific! The ocean sounds are soothing. We viewed turtles and frolicking whales right from the back porch. We booked our 2025 stay before we checked out of our 2024 stay! Once we decide on vacation dates, we’ll be booking again! As a matter of fact we would change our vacation dates if needed to book this amazing place!

The property was conveniently located in and out of the way location with views that seem to never stop from every floor of this home. Words cannot express the power and strength of this home. Will definitely come back again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Three bedrooms gave everyone their own space. Well equipped kitchen for family get together meals. Sitting outside to watch the ocean right out front during the day was amazing and star gazing at night was unbelievable. A memorable stay!

The view from the house is amazing. The ocean can get a little loud and shakes the house at night. Overall it is a great experience.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was nice, but definitely needs some TLC. That did not deter from the beauty of the water below. We saw a turtle nearly everyday. It was a great place to visit all the sites nearby and we enjoyed the small town of Pahoa. The house was furnished well. Kitchen well stocked. We were grateful for the washer and dryer as well! All in all, very relaxing. The beds were good. We had one night that was very wet and it was a little humid in the house. But listening to the waves hit those rocks put me to sleep everytime! Thanks Liv!

This property is located beautifully and is well maintained. Beds were comfortable and home was perfect for our needs. We could sit for hours watching and listening to waves.

This is a great little house, very well designed to take advantage of its fabulous ocean view that all rooms get to enjoy. Description very accurate, manager super responsive. It's for the kind of guest who likes to throw all the windows open and listen to the wind and the thundering waves. If that's you, take it. Excellent for whale watching, too.

Amazing view, right on the water in a quiet neighborhood. Very relaxing with the sound of the waves crashing. Also nice bonus that they don’t have a long “to-do” list upon checkout like many other places do. We had a great stay!

We enjoyed our 4-night stay. The house was clean, lots of windows to keep you cool, and was in a very quiet neighborhood. We would stay here again.

The property was exactly as described. Great location and central to all we wanted to do. We slept great with ocean breezes and never had a problem with no a/c. The driveway was steep but we knew that from our instructions and we expected that with level where we parked and unloaded.

This property has incredible views! It’s definitely an older home than is in need of some updating but the beauty of the crashing ocean waves mostly makes up for it. There was no dishwasher or air conditioning but that didn’t affect

Awesome location. Right on the ocean. Hear the waves all day long.

Overall, it was a good stay, and I would stay here again. The view and sounds of the ocean were amazing as promised. The beds were comfortable, which is a huge priority for me. The location is not super convenient to activities, but it is a quiet neighborhood. The only major complaint for us was the living room furniture. Every piece was uncomfortable and falling apart. There was no really comfortable place to sit together and chat.

We got to the house right as hurricane Hone was approaching the island and loved watching the waves from the safety of the home. We were able to see turtles and dolphins from the living room! Also very quiet and relaxed neighborhood. Note that the closest beach access is 40 min away in Hilo.
