The Space
This home, Hale O'Lawai'a, has a private kayak launch with excellent channel access to Kealakekua Bay. The property offers three different rental options.
This listing is for the ONE-BEDROOM COTTAGE. There is also a separate detached cottage on this shared property with 1 bedroom, with a Queen bed and a twin bed in the living room, with a kitchen and a bathroom available for rent.
We do have Wi-Fi, cable, and a phone. We provide linens, cookware, dishware, and bath /beach towels for each of the rentals.
We provide kayaks (we need to schedule on-site use with the property manager).
Kayaks are available when renting any of the units. They allow the entire bay and some of the best snorkeling in all of Hawaii.
We have four double-man kayaks and 1 single. We provide the life jackets, etc..
The use of the kayaks is arranged upon arrival with our property manager on site.
They are located at the home of Hale Lawai'a (this home is between our two other properties, Hale Naia / Dolphin Retreat). The kayaks are shared between all three rentals.
As you paddle across the bay, it is very common to see spinner dolphins swimming alongside people snorkeling. In the winter months, you may see whales breaching. Use caution when entering or exiting the channel or you just might huli your kanui!
To safely view other protected marine species besides spinner dolphins and humpback whales, we recommend viewing from the following safe distances:
- Remain 10 feet away from sea turtles, on land and in the water
- Remain 50 feet away from Hawaiian monk seals, on land and in the water
- Remain 50 yards (150 feet) away from dolphins and small whales
- Remain 100 yards (300 feet) away from large whales (e.g., sperm whales)
We hope you decide to stay with us!

Aloha! We both have enjoyed serving where the need is greater together in Mexico for 5 years. And we came back home and brought back our two dogs, Osita and Kamalani. We love to have fun, sing, play music, take nature tours, swim in the ocean, and just enjoy life! We love food, all types of food. We try to be adventurous and try new foods. My husband was born into the truth and I was raised in the truth. My mother started studying when I was 8 years old, after taking us to try out all the local churches. We are so happy she found the truth!
