"The owners felt more like family than "just someone renting a vacation home". The location was exactly what we were looking for. Comfortable Exciting. Sometimes a bit thrilling! The music was playing when we arrived. We felt so welcome. The beds were comfy and the sofa was inviting but nothing (even the pictures) quite prepared us for the view. We saw dolphins, flying fish, whales, a turtle, pretty fish , and a shark! Lots of boating activity to watch as well as canoers and swimmers, and even divers.This is truly a cooker's kitchen! Lots of ways to make your stay a foodie feast. We were thrilled by high surf conditions so the blowhole was blowing! The natural pool is a great way cool off on a sunny afternoon. Plenty of seating options and umbrellas. We might have spent most of our time on the spacious lanai, soaking in the scenery and sunsets. Be careful though! Passion flowers are blooming and they are too pretty to step on! We spent a week up in town, and as nice and fun as that is, we were ready for some peace and quiet, sounds of the birds and the surf, and cold mai tais out in the lounge chairs. Bring your binoculars!!! There's a lot going on out in the ocean, and if you luck out and are there during whale season, you won't be disappointed. We absolutely loved Hale Pali, and hope to return!

"Great host, great location. About an hour from Kona, definitely need a car to get around to other areas of the island. But the area is very scenic so the drives were nice. The host was really responsive and left us a bottle of wine and chocolates. Would stay at the house again. "

"Our cute yellow bedroom was adorable. We spent evening hours out on the lanai - Reading out on the lanai was so relaxing! Listening to all the nightly chirping was cool. Emma cooked wonderful breakfasts that started our days eating upstairs on their outdoor patio. Carl shared all the fruits around their home that Emma used. Location was great - we went to one beach 2.5 miles south and saw fish and a sea turtle. Snorkeled at step down beach - cool fish seen. We ventured 15 -25 min for evening meals. Note: downtown Kona parking charges $15/hr - we stayed for one hour to view all the artisans at their art show. Again great b& b - highly recommend!"

"We had a wonderful time staying here. Its is a nice cozy place to stay. Peace and quite away from the crowd. But close enough to drive to see all the sites. We only met the host jen the first day. She was kind and thoughtful."

"Intriguing topography! Super clean yurt and comfortable beds. Friendly hosts. Very comfortable bed and pillows. Had a dridge, microwave, toaster and even dishes and provided drinking water. I Definitely would recommend. "

"We loved our stay here - great location, beautiful yurt and very cozy beds. Wish we could have stayed longer than 1 night! "

"It was a nice quiet place to stay while I was getting a few things done at my house. The parking was right next to the yurt. The bathroom and sink are in another building. There was a microwave and fridge. The coffee was good. It was windy and the outer window coverings were really loud, so bring earplugs just in case. It was nice to see the stars while laying in bed. I would stay again."

"Great location. Fantastic staff. Cool tropical style buildings. A bit noisy on the ground floor. Grounds also well maintained "

"Myra's Blue Hawaii House is absolutely delightful! We were so pleased with our host's communication. She gave us suggestions of places to visit and places to eat. She was considerate and so easy to work with. Her place is an absolutely marvelous getaway location. It was located very close to the South tip where we were able to experience black and green sand beaches as well as marvelous sunsets on the south point. The home is stocked with towels and beach supplies as well as heaters if needed and an electric fireplace built into the family room tv stand. The home is very spacious with wonderful thought put into the decor. We loved that there was a binder filled with information about activities. The lanai was completely amazing for space and WHAT A VIEW!!! We cannot say enough positive things about this property and owner! We highly recommend Myra's home for a Hawaii stay!!! Ww also highly recommend the Shaka Guide App to tour the Island! "
