Combine the sandy beach next to your back yard with the thoughtfully placed windows that give you excellent views from nearly every spot in the house—upstairs and down—and you’ll love the Whale’s Tail for your Hawaii vacation. Not only is the entire ocean-facing wall built with windows, but also an additional row of large clerestory windows above them ensures that the second- floor loft space has ocean and sunset views. The décor throughout the home echoes the beach, ocean, sky and mountain environment: clean white walls, sandy shades of upholstery, blue-gray cabinetry and tiles of sand and sea colors. Original, local artwork—even in the bathrooms—adds to your sense of place in this very special corner of paradise. This home is 'hosted', with the family's residence also on property but the layout was designed for maximum privacy for both homes.

This is a fabulous property, better than the pictures. It was clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook in. It’s a very isolated neighborhood. A nice clean, virtually private beach right out the back door, with nice tide pools for the little ones. We had a great week.

Excellent home. This was the second time we have been to the property and we arrived with high expectations and were not disappointed! All the utensils and equipment in the house were well thought out. Location is one of the best on the island, quiet, great views, beach, safe and varied, snorkelling, whales and turtles. What more could you want? Will come back again!

This is a wonderful location, perfect for low-key swimming and also for more serious swimmers and snorkelers. The kitchen is well-equipped, and the beach equipment includes beach chairs, beach towels, a beach umbrella, life vests and aqua socks in both child and adult sizes. There is an extra frig/freezer in the garage, very helpful. Beds are comfortable, sheets and towels very nice. We spent a lot of our time either at the lanai or on the beach in front of the house. All in all it was a great week and we will be back.

We loved our stay at this beautiful property and amazing location. Our entire stay from beginning to end was 5 Stars. Everything we needed was right there including the General Store right down the street which has the best fresh baked cookies! Totally relaxing setting for a perfect "real Hawaii" get-away. The welcome basket of goodies and the welcome note were a very nice touch. We will most definitely be back! Thanks for everything!

Whale Tails is a great house in a wonderful location. We enjoyed the beach access for snorkeling and lying around. Fabulous sunsets and star gazing. There is a great general store walking distance down the road and sometimes we were adventurous and would walk to the nearby beaches and resorts. We loved the place.

Reviewer Comments:
The property is an oasis. So amazing. Spent a week at a condo in kona that was tons of fun but busy. The following week was spent at whale's tail and I couldn't imagine a better experience. We basically just went out to eat once a day and cooked at the property the rest of the time. It had everything we needed. My wife described it the first night as heaven on earth. I hesitate to say so much as we will definitely be back. Such a calm little oasis. There's so much to do on the island but honestly just hanging on the property and the beach I'm not sure you would need to do anything else. Maybe not for everyone but if you're looking for an amazing place to just relax and unwind I'm not sure you could do better than this spot. We all loved it.

Our second stay at Whale’s Tail was just as magical as our first. The house is so perfect for the location. So clean, comfortable and well stocked. The beds are comfortable. The management was very welcoming, receptive and easy to work with.

The management team of Jenny and her husband, Matt and Robbie could not have been better, nicer or more professional. We had some things happen that were out of anyone’s control and all was handled so well

We stayed in the owner's home next to the rental property Whale's Tail, due to storm damages to Whale's Tail in December.
