My wife and I lived at Annie’s Hale for a month over the Christmas-New Year holidays and had a wonderful time. The Hale was very clean, smelled good and was well equipped. Lots of fans around the house and they were well used and kept us comfortable. Three nice sized bedrooms and two bathrooms gave us lots of room to spread out. Annie’s family business used to be hardscaping so there are lots of reminders throughout the house, from the extensive slate floors in the main rooms to the massaging pebble floor of the bedroom opening to the back yard. It was an adventure to explore. The real star of the property is the huge deck and swimming pool out back. It is an oasis of imaginative hardscaping and tropical plants. The pool is very clean, smell-free, and was ideal for wading with its gently sloped entry – perfect for small children. The water temperature in the deep end could be bracing, but we soon got used to that. We laughed as the local mynas, java sparrows, spotted and zebra doves, and saffron finches jostled for room to bathe and drink in the warm shallows. I also had a welcome visitor, a small 5” lizard, who would often perch on my toes to catch any flies foolish enough to harass me. He must have caught 8 or 10 while we were there. The geckos were also around and so fun to watch. Would we stay at Annie’s Hale again. Definitely, yes.

We extended our stay in Kona last minute and had to find a place to stay for 3 nights. We were fortunate to find Annie's place and enjoyed staying there. The pool area is really lovely and the grandkids loved diving for coconuts in the pool! There is a pretty ocean view from the front porch. Annie is really accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. It was nice to stay in a family neighborhood our last few days in Kona and feel more of a part of the community. Convenient location just a few minutes to Kona, shopping, beaches and Da Poke Shack!

We stayed here for the triathalon and loved the house, the area and the host. Great layout, three nice bedrooms. An amazing pool. No AC but lots of fans and breezes. Ten minutes to the downtown area. Couldn't ask for a better place. Thanks!

You won’t regret renting this place!

First off, the photos don’t do this property justice (Annie, for real, have new photos taken!) And I can honestly say we’ve never stayed in a vacation rental that felt more like home. Everything about our stay at Annie’s house was absolutely perfect- including Annie! She is the warmest, most lovely host & we instantly felt like she was family. We arrived after dark so it wasn’t until morning’s daylight that we were able to take in the magic of this property. Its beauty literally brought me to tears. Every detail of the home is well thought out- from the fully stocked kitchen to the closet full of hangers- and the location couldn’t be better. The neighborhood is gorgeous & has sidewalks- so many unique homes. We enjoyed a walk through the neighborhood and down to Ali’i Drive along the ocean every morning. And it’s the perfect jumping spot to anywhere in the island. Annie, thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with others.

This house was the perfect home base for our family of six to explore the beautiful beaches of Kona and the Kohala Coast. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood with a view of the pacific from the lanai, it’s just a short drive from restaurants, grocery stores and shops. The house was filled with amenities like a well stocked kitchen, toiletries in the two walk-in shower bathrooms, and beach items for us to use like beach chairs, coolers & boogie boards. As much as we loved the inside of this accommodation, the outside was the real treat and our favorite place to relax, unwind and eat meals. The back patio is large, filled with beautiful tropical plants, tables, lounge chairs, a nice gas grill and a fabulous walk-in salt water lighted pool surrounded by lava rock. The host, Annie, was amazing. She was so friendly and helpful from the time we booked and throughout our stay. Annie was a delight and answered all our questions with top notch recommendations for restaurants and beaches. This was especially helpful since a member of our party was traveling with a wheelchair and crutches and we needed help locating the most accessible beaches for her. We were so happy with every minute we spent here at Annie’s Hale.

Love Annie and her wonderful home! Perfect for families, has everything and more that you would need! Our family had a great time and everyone loved the pool!! The home is in a great neighborhood and even has a peek a boo view of the ocean!! Many Mahalos from all of us Annie, we will be back!💜💜💜 Tara

We arrived to this haven after 24hrs of travel. Annie and Toby the dog gave us a wonderful welcome. The house was ready for us in everyway. The pool was wonderful. Mahalo.
