One of our best memories of Hale Lokahi was our gasps as we walked into the house for the first time. Wow, everywhere we looked was breathtaking. Three disappearing glass walls, two with expansive ocean views, surrounded the beautifully appointed living room that opened onto the huge pool. There was the enormous, well-appointed kitchen and an adjacent dining room with another wall of disappearing glass looking onto the front garden and towards the mountains and north coast. Two large ensuite bedrooms on opposite sides of the home, each with a spa shower, gave a grand sense of spaciousness and privacy. There were tasteful art pieces everywhere that stopped us in our tracks. But, the biggest gasps were for the ocean view, from each lanai, a step out from the bedrooms, and while swimming laps in the infinity-lipped pool. Come on, how many rental houses can you say, “I wouldn’t change a thing.” We scrambled daily to see the Big Island and all its beauty with enough time to get back to the lanais for the spectacular sunsets. The birds sang beautiful songs daily, mongooses peeked out from the shrubs, and a goat herd even walked by the east lanai, all adding to the superb spectacle of this locale. The location was very handy to all the nearby beaches and hiking trails we’d planned to visit, and the garage was well stocked with almost everything needed for a great beach outing. We won’t go on, although we could, so let’s just say this house is truly, really, a memorable experience!
