Ocean Views Whale Watching Sea Turtles Sunrise Lanai King Bed | House in Pahoa
2 Bedroom House in Kapoho, Pahoa
Welcome to Koholā Hale (“Whale House”), a peaceful island retreat located along an oceanfront street in East Hawaii. Relax on the spacious lanai overlooking the ocean, listen to the soothing sound of waves breaking along the shoreline, and start each morning with breathtaking sunrises as you experience the beauty and tranquility of Hawaii in true island style.
Thoughtfully designed with warm South East Asian-inspired décor and comfortable furnishings, Koholā Hale feels both welcoming and serene.
The highlight of the home is the large ocean-facing lanai, where you can relax with beautiful ocean views, cooling breezes, and the soothing sound of waves breaking along the shoreline. Guests frequently spot green sea turtles playing in the surf, and during Hawaii’s humpback whale season (approximately November through April), humpback whales can often be seen offshore right from the property, making the lanai the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, watch the sunrise, or simply unwind in true Hawaiian style.
For a quieter moment, step onto the private lanai off the primary bedroom, overlooking a lush tropical garden filled with orchids, palms, and fragrant plumeria trees. The property also features a spacious cabana, perfect for gathering with loved ones, reading a book, or unwinding after a day of exploring.
Comfortable Living & Amenities
The fully equipped kitchen has everything needed for cooking and entertaining, including generous prep space and a large granite island with seating. Gather around the beautiful mango wood dining table for meals together, then open the French doors to let the island breeze flow in from the lanai.
