    Christine B from Chicago, IL recommends this vacation rental

    We stayed at Hale Balleja for 4 nights and loved it! Great location close to the beach, and an easy drive to Kalapana and Pahoa. Loved the outdoor shower and huge lanais. It was a perfect retreat with all the amenities we wanted.

    Hugh & Julie C from Lodi, WI recommends this vacation rental

    1st, the company that helped us book our stay was great and very helpful with questions about the Island and recommendations. 2nd, Juan was also very helpful and professional. Now the house was beautiful, the only thing I think it needs is an "egg crate" for the bed. It was very firm and could be used some softness to it. Other than that the house was perfect.

    James F from Arden Hills, MN recommends this vacation rental

    Juan, our property manager, gave us a warm and excellent introduction to the home and to the area. This house, with its landscaping, is a rare find. The location is private and an easy drive to Volcano National Park. Good restaurants in Pahao and Hilo. Tons of great things to do and see.

    Loved it. It felt very quiet and private - except for the chorus of frogs at night :)

    Linnie V from Vancouver, BC recommends this vacation rental

    Hale Balleja was an exceptional refuge. Beautifully lush gardens, an outdoor sunset shower, a gorgeous mango wood dining bar in the wide open kitchen with 360 views of the gorgeous PUNA jungle and coast. Juan, Hale Balleja's caretaker, was gentle and devoted to making us feel comfortable, safe and cared for. We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a luxurious, out of the box experience off the beaten track -Honeymoon feel included. Thank you for hosting us in your pristine atmosphere Hale Balleja. I wept when we parted. We loved it!

    Mark M recommends this vacation rental

    I spent 5 weeks in the islands and this was the best of the 5 places! You're off the beaten path so you can enjoy the natural wonders of the islands; but not entirely off the grid - still have WiFi and restaurants within a reasonable distance. Certainly can't beat the view of the ocean crashing against the rocks from the dining room!

    Rob W recommends this vacation rental

    This very attractive house was a delight to stay at, but a little more attention to detail would have made it even better. This sounds picky but here's a list: dead flies on the bedroom window sill and in the light fixture above the dining counter, lots of dust on the vent hood above the stove, no face cloths, only a sponge for dish washing, no mat in the bathroom,and no light to read by in the living room. The house at least 10 miles to the closest grocery store, so visitors should be aware in advance that they need to stock up. All of this said, would I recommend the property? Yes, our stay there was very relaxing and very enjoyable.
