A Whale Crossing Vacation Rental is tucked away in the serene North Kohala region, near Upolu Point on the northwest tip of the Big Island. This charming, secluded getaway offers a peaceful and intimate setting, perfect for those looking to experience the natural beauty of Hawaii.
The cozy Tiki Hut is a romantic escape for two, featuring a king-sized bed, settee, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and a CD/radio player.

The Tiki Hut offers stunning sunsets and the occasional mystical moonbow. From your private lanai, you’ll also have the incredible opportunity to witness humpback whales jumping and singing during the winter months (November - April). The bathhouse features an old-fashioned clawfoot tub and a tropical garden shower provides a unique and refreshing way to enjoy the outdoors.
Hiking trails abound, and the property is just a short walk to both the ocean and historical sites, including King Kamehameha's birthplace and the ancient Mo'okini Heiau.
While secluded, Awhalecrossing Cabin is conveniently located just 1 mile off Akoni Pule Highway. The charming towns of Hawi and Kapaau are only minutes away, where you'll find dining, galleries, and unique shopping experiences. The world-renowned beaches and resorts of the Gold Coast, including Hapuna and Mauna Kea—regularly ranked among the top 10 beaches in the world—are just a 20-minute drive away. Kona International Airport is 50 minutes by car.
Our "Special Rustic Hawaiian Experience" has been a beloved part of our family for nearly 45 years. With the company of our 2 Golden Retrievers and 2 Golden Doodles, we invite you to experience the magic of our island paradise.

Summary: Remote and quiet. A great location for exploring the northwest part of the Big Island.
Jimmy H. Apr 11, 2025 03:56:53 AM
Summary: We stayed 2 nights, and it was extremely peaceful. The main thing to do at the Whale Crossing is to enjoy nature, the birds, the view of the ocean, the quiet and calm. We went into Hawi and hiked one day, then brought dinner home each night from a restaurant in town to enjoy on the little deck. This place is definitely not fancy at all, but the view and serenity are unlike any you will find in Kona.
Matt J. Apr 11, 2025 12:52:20 AM
Summary: We had a peaceful stay in the tiki hut. We could eat breakfast on the patio and watch whales. The sky was full of stars at night and we could leave the patio slider open for airflow all night. This is a great place we'd recommend for a couple wanting a country retreat.
Megan R. Nov 10, 2024 03:28:48 AM
Summary: A Whales Crossing was a fun stay in a unique area with sweeping views and stunning sunsets. Linda was a great host and has a well appointed unit.
Roland P. Mar 31, 2024 06:47:19 AM
Summary: This was our second stay at the Whale Crossing! Our stays were a few years apart. It was as beautiful as we remembered. We were treated to the wonders of the whales breaching time and time again. Its like being on your own island on the island! If you want total relaxation and seclusion, this is your calling card. Linda and Marty are simply the best hosts. We can't thank them enough for our adventures there. This is a must vacation cottage.
Michael C. Nov 21, 2023 10:27:11 PM
Summary: Find a quiet part of the island with a view of the ocean, a lovingly created property, nothing too fancy, just quiet and perfect.
Donna G. Jul 9, 2023 01:37:23 AM
Summary: First off, this isn’t your classic vacation rental. It is the cutest tiki hut with a separate bathroom building. No AC but not it’s not really necessary with the ocean breeze , ceiling fan and screens all the way around. Beautiful decorated. Owner even provided robes and sleep masks! We loved waking up to the ocean view visible right from the bed. Would stay here again in a heartbeat! Owners dogs were a bonus! They were friendly but not intrusive.
Rita S. May 18, 2023 02:52:12 AM
Summary: We booked 3 nights here to begin a 3 week vacation in the islands. It was great and we wish we had booked the whole first week here. Sleeping to the nature sounds, deep quiet too and then waking to the expansive view! We were able to exhale from our great but very active lives- to reset. Will come back just for the outdoor shower alone and stars alone. All the reviews are true - oh and thanks for the binoculars too.
Mary H. Apr 15, 2023 01:32:07 AM
Summary: My stay here was wonderful and restful with the tropical surroundings and the incredible view of ocean and sunsets! What a perfect setting!
Jarrett F. Apr 5, 2023 03:52:25 AM
Summary: If you want a true island experience - stay here! From the amazing view, to the open floorplan to the outside shower (don't panic, there is an inside one too) - this was a relaxing getaway. You are close to a few small towns that have stores and restaurants, but far enough away to have some solitude. All you needs are covered with supplies, amenities and even lots of beach equipment to use! Linda is an amazing host and very kind. We hope to come back soon!
