Serene 'Halakea Hale' Cottage by Volcano Ntl Park!

Lounge on the private deck and enjoy the natural beauty of one of the few remaining ancient rain forests in the Volcano area from this 2-bedroom, 1-bath vacation rental cottage. Named ‘Halakea Hale’ (‘Pineapple House’ in English), this serene, cozy cottage carries on a pineapple theme from its exterior soft, yellow paint, to its tropically decorated interior.

-- THE PROPERTY --

Master Bedroom: Queen Bed | Bedroom 2: Twin Bed, Twin Pullout Bed

While staying at ‘Halakea Hale,’ your favorite spot is bound to be the partly covered deck, furnished with wicker chairs and a table. Kick back, relax and enjoy the rainforest views, which features Ohia-Lehua trees, giant tree ferns, camelia bushes and numerous native birds you’ll see on a daily basis.

Beat the Hawaii heat by retreating inside, where you’ll find an open floor plan with everything you’ll need for a comfortable stay.

The beautiful kitchen is a chef’s dream, as it is fully equipped with all of the necessary cookware and ample counterspace, including an island with 2 stools. The chef of the group can proudly serve their meals at the lovely dining table with seating for 4.

Hardwood floors turn to carpet in the dining area, which flows into the living area, where you can lounge on the comfortable couch or chair during your downtime. Cozy up by the electric fireplace while watching movies on the flat-screen cable TV.

Enjoy many peaceful slumbers in either of the bedrooms. The master bedroom has a queen bed with floral comforter, and the second bedroom has a twin bed with twin pullout bed, along with a desk and chair.

** Please note that there are other vacation rental units on the property and other travelers may be present during your stay **

-- THE LOCATION --

From this property, you’ll be in the perfect spot to not only immerse yourself in Hawaii’s tropical setting, but to explore the surrounding areas as well. Find beauty right in the yard, as you stroll along the hiking trail and keep your eyes peeled for native birds, feral pigs, flowers, and fruit trees in the orchard.

Even more natural beauty awaits you at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, just 10 minutes from the cottage. Here, you’ll marvel at the Halemaumau crater, which has been ‘bubbling’ since 1952. Make sure to visit the Thomas A. Jagger Museum for a magnificent view overlooking the rim of the crater! While you’re in the park, you’ll also want to check out the many hiking and camping sites, including the Thurston Lava Tube and Namakanipaio Bird Park.

When you’re not cooking your own meal at the cottage, drive to Volcano Village, where you’ll find restaurants and cafes, along with a laundromat in case you need to wash your clothes while on vacation.

If you’re a golfer, you’ll want to bring your clubs! The cottage is just 15 minutes from the Volcano Golf Course and Winery - a guaranteed good time for golfers and wine lovers alike.

When you’re in the mood for a lazy beach day, drive 40 minutes to Punaluu Black Sand Beach to lounge on the sandy shore and watch green sea turtles basking in the sun. After a day on the beach, head to Punaluu Bakery to enjoy lunch in several gazebos on your way to Kona.

For a road trip with plenty more adventures, drive 45 minutes to Hilo, where you’ll find museums, gardens, an observatory and waterfalls!
