The cooling breezes and the sun-warmed, dry climate is yearlong on the South Kona Coast, and the homes’ location is at an ideal elevation for temperature, never too hot, or chilly. Sitting at 600 feet elevation from the ocean Puhala Hale rarely gets too warm with daily average temperatures in the mid to low 80’s and in the evening temperatures average in the mid-60’s. A whole house fan offers extra cooling for evening comfort. Every bedroom has a ceiling fan and three have sliders with screen doors, the 4th bedroom has amazing night breezes that come down mountain so stays cool. The main living areas also have multiple ceiling fans and screen doors to let the cool ocean breezes in.
The Puhala Hale is located 33 miles south from Kailua-Kona, and 63 miles from the Volcano. The 60-minute coastal drive south of Kailua-Kona through coffee country is well worth it to enjoy this rural retreat that is still convenient and within a ten-minute drive to groceries and more. Milolii is a quiet coastal area, perfect to relax and enjoy the layback Hawaiian lifestyle, though close enough to take short trips to golf, shop and fine dine. Puhala Hale is convenient to Kona (approx. 1 hr drive) and the Hilo Airports, as well as a reasonable drive to Volcanoes National Park, City of Refuge, Painted Church, Green Sand Sand Beach, Ho'okena Beach Park, Punalu'u Bakery, South Point, Pu'uhonua O' Honaunau, and the Coffee Belt.
The Milolii area is world renowned for its pristine ocean waters and awesome deep-sea fishing opportunities. Guests are welcome to ship in their scuba gear if they are divers. This coastal area allows you to explore cliffs, blow holes, tide pools, caves and lava tubes while hiking along historical sites and ancient walls.
The Puhala Hale is a short drive down to the water and beaches where snorkeling and scuba diving is world class. Humpback Whale season is Dec.-March. So whale watching (and hearing at night) can become your favorite pastime. Just minutes to the waterfront there is Milolii Beach Park that's great for small children. Located near the park is a trail head to hike into the coconut lined black sand beach of Honomalino, where you may by chance get to swim with the sea turtles and spinner dolphins while sun tanning and enjoying the pristine beach and waters.
The home usually has 2-3 Snorkel sets, boogie boards and pool floaties but if you need more water related supplies go to Walmart or Costco.
Note: We do not have the coqui frogs that make a deafening evening noise in many areas around Kona! Be sure to ask this question before booking other homes!
Once you have booked, you will receive a welcome email which provides not only lots of house and area info but a wonderful list of suggested restaurants and farmers markets etc. to visit during your stay.
The home also has a welcome binder that includes sight-seeing suggestions, activities and house policies.
