Simply Amazing
My wife and I enjoyed every bit of the home. The aura of the place is simply amazing! The directions were very clear (but make sure you read every line). My wife is a vegetarian and prefers home cooked meals on some days. Scott provided a grill with a side burner. It worked well for us. But remember that cooking and dish washing should be in the outside cabana/sitting area. But they have an outside sink in a covered area. The inside is simply amazing. Scott does carving with wood and stone. All the tiki carvings in photos were done by Scott. Outside hot tub is also a highlight! It was super convenient for our drive to volcanos national park!

Great tropical retreat
Hale Hapu’u was a wonderful retreat. Very clean, cozy, had most everything we needed, and we especially loved the lanai which is beautifully done and the perfect spot for eating, studying, and just spending time. We really appreciated to attention to detail that was put into this guest house!

Hawaiian getaway
This house was an absolite delight to stay in. The Hawaiian theme was so fun, the home was clean, and extremely well organized. They have the cutest outdoor areas to spend time hanging out in too. Also, the bed and pillows were the most comfortable i've ever slept on while on vacation! Would definitely recommend this property!

Great experience
Communication with the host was great from the start. He was even able to accommodate a slight date change for us. The house was very clean and you could tell they took pride in its appearance and upkeep. There were quite a few things they asked for guests to do to help keep it clean and bug free, like removing shoes before entering, setting the garbage outside for them to remove regularly, and doing food prep and consumption out on the lanai. These were easy enough to accommodate. We would stay there again.

Shangri La Found
Needed a respite from the insanity of life and the world and found it at Hale Hapu'u. The images are nothing compared to the reality of the house and the surrounding garden. The most beautiful and peaceful place we have ever stayed at and looking forward to staying at again. The house and grounds are immaculate and Scott has built a true homage to Hawai'i and the culture. The Hale Hapu'u is clean and comfortable and the outdoor "spa" tub was perfect! We enjoyed spending mornings having breakfast on the porch and listening to the sounds of nature around us. Quiet, comfortable, peaceful, soul nourishing. Absolutely loved it.

Simply uʻi (Beautiful)
From the moment we pulled into the property, we knew that we were in for a unique experience. The grounds are immaculate and provide a perfect oasis for the local wildlife that we enjoyed experiencing all day. The layout of the Hapu’u is perfect and the personal touches of the wood carvings provide a wonderful touch of Hawaiian culture. Every morning was like waking up in paradise. Scott provided so much detailed and informative information ahead of time, this helped greatly in planning our stay on the big island. He also included everything you would need to ensure a relaxing and stress free stay, including unlimited coffee, bath towels and bubble bath for the outdoor bathtub. This place is just simply magical and we were very lucky that we were able to stay here.

If you want to take a break, this is the place. Everything you need. A tranquil patio, outdoor tub if you want to spoil yourself. Quiet, clean, cool interior decor. We only spent one night but could have happily stayed longer. There is a town about 12 miles away with restaurants.

What a special stay! The house is immaculate and every intentional detail of the property you will continue to soak up throughout the stay. We loved the ambiance, the outdoor bathtub was a treat, the towels and bedding were soft and very comfortable. The Coqui frogs singing like an exotic bird and rain fall singing us to sleep was such an experience. Literally had every amenity we could desire. Delicious never ending coffee was a treat. Highly recommend!!

Amazing place 11/10
The place is absolutely beautiful, the area is really quiet, the decor inside and outside is very dreamy. It has all the amenities for cooking so we grilled our own food without even going to restaurants. The bath tub area is very romantic to enjoy with a glass of wine and sound of birds. The hosts are very responsive and if you need anything you can reach out to them anytime. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends.
