Our second visit to Hale Malia was just as wonderful as the first. The charming bungalow, spectacular view and excellent location make for a lovely stay on the Big Island!It is always hard to leave. Mahalo Kirsi.

If you'll excuse my description of a rental property with a food description equal to Umami... It satisfies everything I'm wanting to find to relax and unplug and connect with what the big island has to offer. Love this place.

We fell in love with the cottage and with Puako. The house is cozy and great for a couple. The location is incredible. We hope to stay there again on our next visit to the Big Island.

The bungalow was a perfect home base for our stay on the Big Island. The house was immaculate, although we spent the majority of our time outside in the beautiful yard - lots of birds (including turkeys!) and turtles nearby. Lovely location and home!

Excellent location, well kept property, great communication with owner, tidy house, good appliances, no "kitchen" products (coffee, baggies, spices, oils, etc) only salt and pepper so plan accordingly. There seemed to be an unusually large number of mosquitoes in and outside the house so bring repellent as there was none! My only suggestion (after years if not decades of staying at various places in Puako) is to also provide as others do (even a small one) a "welcome" Aloha gift basket. A small offering of local coffee and cookies, and whole fresh fruit and nuts, etc would have been very, very welcome. :)

We loved sitting in the back yard watching the best sunsets. So relaxing.

This was the most ideal spot for a working vacation. I'll never forget it. Thank you for having an incredible retreat. The kitchen is incredible, love the showers, the bed was incredibly comfortable and the hammock was a dream. You nailed it!

Wow, this bungalow was amazing! It was perfect for my huaband and I, and just what we were looking for. It was incredibly clean and well equipped. Communication and service with the host was great too. I highly recommend this home.

Another wonderful stay at our happy place! No fires this time, so we were able to lean in and enjoy the peace and solitude Hale Malia provides, with amazing snorkeling just steps away. Thank you again, Kirsi! See you soon...

This adorable bungalow in an absolutely stunning setting made for a magical getaway. Kirsi is a great host as well, and made sure we had all the information we needed.

This little cottage was great for a couple - wonderful back yard with great lounges and a perfect place to relax, enjoy the ocean, and watch whales. The only thing that would have made it better would have been a few kitchen supplies like oil or seasonings and maybe foil or wrap. Otherwise the kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils. We would definitely stay again!
