Property Description
Enjoy our hosted private 1 bedroom, 1 1/2 bathroom accommodations. Beautifully detailed with a king size bed, tv, wireless internet, laundry, closet, and large covered lanai. Everything my mom needs for her month long stays with our family!
The large lanai (covered deck) has 2 outdoor seating areas including a BBQ, dining table and chairs. Cool breezes in the evening make it the perfect place to enjoy an ocean view sunset.
This bedroom was built next to our house for my mother to stay several times a year. The details are exquisite; from granite or Koa countertops and shelves, to antique Indonesian doors and artwork by local artists. You will experience Hawaii in its beauty!
The location on our property has gorgeous views of the sweeping valley below all the way to the ocean. It is surrounded by lush greenery and is only minutes to Kailua Kona town or historic Holualoa.
We welcome you to this peaceful place to enjoy Hawaii.

Beautifully appointed and designed cottage with breathtaking views, meticulously clean, and a great and convenient location in the hills above Kailua-Kona. Equipped with everything one may need for cooking and grilling and all other amenities, including equipment for beach visits. Super comfortable bed in which you wake up looking at luscious greenery and the Ocean. And a very welcoming and proactively communicating and responsive host who greeted us with delicious coffee and chocolate covered macademia nuts. Thank you, Esther, for this all around wonderful vacation in your great home!

While the location was great and views of ocean great, overall place could have been a bit cleaner. The back deck where the dining table was located was visibly dirty. While I realize this is a covered outdoor space, a thorough sweeping of the deck was greatly needed

Most tourists opt for the resort experience and don't bother to get to know what it's like to live in that part of the world. Staying here give you a chance to see what it would be like to live on the Big Island. Be aware that you will have a more rural experience. That means night birds calling, hearing the rain at night and not fighting crowds for everything. I recommend it highly.

We had wonderful stay at the Hale Maluhia cottage. It was easy to communicate with Esther, our host. She gave us a tour upon arrival and explained all features of the cottage and property. The kitchen is small, not much counter space, but has everything you need. Plus the easy to use gas grill on the deck. The lack of air conditioning is not an issue. There are fans, and the hillside location was always cooler than down below at the beach. There was snorkeling gear, beach chairs, towels, and other beach items for our use. There are many nearby beaches requiring drives of up to 10 to 30 minutes depending on your choice. Grocery store is less than ten minutes away. The view from the deck down the hillside to the water was beautiful. It always calming to return the hillside at the end of the day after going to beaches, parks, restaurants or other attractions. The cottage is better than its pictures. The bathroom was large and has a nice walk in shower. Nice television and full size washer/dryer as well. It was the perfect space for couple. We really enjoyed our stay and would come back. Thanks Esther.

Everything was perfect. The property is quaint and for 1-2 people unit has everything, including beautiful sunsets. This is for nature types — birds and frogs chirping in morning and evenings, but really peaceful, but if that’s not your thing (ie sleeping in late), then you may want a hotel room. Hosts were awesome.

This cottage is beautiful! Ideal cottage for two. Every morning, we were woken up by the sound of birds, which was really peaceful. The lack of air conditioning concerned me, but the fans inside really cool down the area, and it feels about 5 degrees cooler at the cottage than down by the water. There are no curtains on the sliding doors. It didn't bother us because we woke up before the sunrise due to our time difference (coming from Central time), but it's something to keep in mind.

Wonderful views, lovely lanai. Good amenities. Not much storage for a two week stay. We would like to stay again.
