  • Dec 14, 2024 Absolutely perfect place for our family to gather! Beautiful location! It was absolutely amazing to be able watch each and every sunset from the infinity pool! The grounds were beautiful with recent additions of fruit trees…which meant we were able to pick papaya and oranges for morning breakfast! We are already planning our vacation back to the Big Island and hoping to stay here once again. Dawn Blickensderfer
  • Nov 13, 2024 Hale Joli Our stay at Hale Joli was absolutely perfect! This house changed the way we will vacation from here forward. The location is perfect, close to amenities, but quiet and private. Very much a tropical retreat. Understated elegance is a perfect description. Being out on the expanse of lanai is like sitting in the tree tops and the view of the ocean and sunset is amazing. And we can’t say enough about the beautiful infinity pool! The kitchen is stocked very well, and there were plenty of chairs and other beach equipment for our use. The space was perfect for two couples. From the minute we made the reservation to the time of checkout the service we received was fast, responsive, and customer focused. We look forward to returning! Patience C.
  • Nov 08, 2024 Gorgeous house, stocked with amenities and close to amazing beaches and food. Pool and view are definitely 5 stars! Highly recommend. Nicole Orfanakis
  • Oct 13, 2024 Beautiful location and home. Beautiful location and home. Use Google maps as we found Apple Maps isn’t as great in Hawaii. We swam in the pool day and night, enjoyed sunrises and sunsets from the deck. Grilled and cooked many home made meals and generally, just relaxed in this serene environment. Quiet at night - frogs, etc. can be heard - but little traffic or neighbor noise. Plenty of room for a family to spread out. Also, loved watching movies in the cozy sitting area. Overall this is an upscale location with lots of amenities. Walking around the neighborhood and property we also found lots of fruit, vegetables and scenery. Love that they have beach gear for use, plastic wear for the kids and bathtubs as well as showers. Beach and pool towels available and an absolute must was the onsite washer and dryer. Definitely recommend! Lauren H.

  • Aug 19, 2024 Wunderschönes und gepflegtes historisches Haus. Modern eingerichtet und sehr gepflegt. Es liegt sehr ruhig mit einem fantastischen Blick über das Meer. Alles vorhanden was man braucht. Gerne wieder. Florine Thome
  • Oct 19, 2023 Best Abnb I've stayed at so far. This house is beautiful architecturally. The property is so peaceful and serene. You can hear nature all night, which was so cool. I'd come back to Kona just to stay here. Melissa Wright
  • Sep 21, 2023 My wife and I decided to book a long weekend away to visit the big island. We found this charming listing and felt it was perfect for a quiet, private retreat. The space is beautiful and extremely private. You have a view of the ocean from about 1500ft on the hillside. The sunsets are breathtaking and unobstructed. The layout of this home focuses on maximizing the view of the ocean. All spaces have views and the lanai expands across the entire back area. The main living space is separate from each bedroom allowing for privacy as needed. The home it self is oriented for completed privacy. You don’t look into anyone else’s space either. This is a perfect space for a family gathering or quiet retreat on the big island. Our hosts were proactive and communicative and made this stay problem free. I give this 5 stars and highly, highly recommend. Book with confidence. Jayson Gates
  • Jun 21, 2023 All three generations of our family enjoyed a relaxing stay at Hale Joli. The landscaping was beautiful and the ocean view from the lanai stunning. The living room and kitchen were spacious, clean and well equipped. Primary bedroom was large and included a desk for working, but the other 2 bedrooms were smallish which was not a problem for us as we only used them for sleeping. All had multiple fans to keep guests cool at night. We found the traditional Hawaiian home stye which included overhead fans for cooling, visits from geckos, and listening to birds and frogs to be a nice change of pace. Beach towels, chairs, umbrellas and some sand toys were available for our use. Kathryn Cooper
  • Jun 08, 2023 Great place on the hill! Kristina Cashman
  • May 17, 2023 This property was amazing! Understated elegance is how I would describe this property. We felt transported to a different place…and it was magical! Bedroom doors are accessed from the outdoors, which may be an issue for younger visitors, but was fine for our family! Close to town, yet feels remote and perfect. We will be back! Dillon Lambert
  • Apr 29, 2023 Perfect house for a stay. Clean, private, and very well maintained. Brett Bowens
  • Jan 20, 2023 Amazing home, responsive staff, fantastic experience! Kali
  • Jan 17, 2023 Great place. Great location. Great view. Great beds. Great vacation. Maggie Rohr

Description

Welcome to Hale Joli by Gather, a serene retreat that captures the essence of old Hawaii while providing all the modern amenities you desire. This unique three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom ranch home is a tranquil oasis nestled on a private road, offering you a peaceful and private Hawaiian vacation experience. Built from beautiful redwood and cedar, the home exudes a rich, earthy ambiance that perfectly complements its historic surroundings.

What we love about Hale Joli:
Historic Charm: Located on land that once belonged to King Lunalilo, the 6th monarch of the Kingdom of Hawaii and grandnephew of King Kamehameha I, Hale Joli offers a rare opportunity to stay on royal grounds steeped in history.
Private and Peaceful Setting: Tucked away on a private road, the home offers complete privacy with the spirit of Aloha embracing you as soon as you arrive. The tranquil surroundings, including birdsong and a botanical garden setting, instantly transport you into a peaceful state.
Heated Infinity Pool: The heated infinity pool, complete with a sundeck, merges seamlessly with the endless blue of the Pacific Ocean, creating a heavenly experience. It's the perfect spot for relaxation and enjoying breathtaking ocean views.
Tropical Grounds: The property features a stunning array of tropical plants, an orchard with over 30 newly planted fruit trees, and a mini coffee farm producing the world-famous Kona coffee.

Enter Hale Joli via the long private driveway and step into the great room, an open-concept area that encompasses the living, dining, and kitchen spaces in a spacious A-frame design. The high ceilings, ceiling fans, and full-walled sliding doors allow natural light and refreshing trade winds to flow through the home, enhancing the serene atmosphere.

Relax in the living area on the comfortable couch or armchairs, and enjoy a night of entertainment on the large flatscreen television while marveling at the stellar seaside views beyond. The grand kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, including a wine fridge, making it a joy to prepare meals. The dining table seats up to eight guests, or you can take your meals outside to the picturesque deck, where you can dine poolside with seating for eight.

The outdoor spaces at Hale Joli are designed for relaxation and enjoyment. Spend your afternoons lounging by the infinity pool, grilling up a feast at the outdoor barbecue station, or playing games on the spacious deck. In the evening, gather around the festive fire pit to witness the breathtaking colors of the Hawaiian sunset and lounge in the Adirondack recliners as the stars light up the night sky.

For a peaceful start to your day, gather your yoga mats and enjoy a serene yoga session on the lanai as the sun rises, accompanied only by the melody of birdsong. Explore the lower lot via a set of stairs to discover numerous tropical fruit plants that have been added in 2024.

All bedrooms at Hale Joli are accessible via a covered pathway and feature sliding glass doors, ceiling fans, and high-vaulted ceilings for fresh airflow. Each bedroom offers incredible ocean views and access to the back lanai. The spacious primary bedroom features a comfortable king bed and a private ensuite with a large vanity and a shower/tub combo. The second guest bedroom also has a king bed and shares access to a bathroom with a shower/tub combo. The third guest bedroom is outfitted with two queen beds and shares access to the guest bathroom. An additional half-bath is available for guest use, along with a laundry room equipped with an in-unit washer and dryer.

For families with small children, a security fence can be set up around the pool area, providing peace of mind with an access gate and latch. Located just 10 minutes from Kailua-Kona's downtown urban hub and 20 minutes from Kona Airport, Hale Joli offers convenient access to local attractions while providing a secluded retreat. At 1,000 feet of elevation, the home offers immaculate ocean views perfect for viewing the humpback whale migration from November through April.

Experience the tropical charm and historic significance of Hale Joli by Gather. Book your stay today and immerse yourself in a one-of-a-kind Hawaiian vacation, where modern luxury meets the timeless beauty of old Hawaii.
