The place was dated but clean and large, comfortable size for a big family. The place needs some TLC especially downstairs bedrooms floors need to get replaced and new paint. We had to keep all the windows and doors closed most of the time for security purposes(house alarm) that was not helpful with the humidity. So if you have allergies this is not the place for you. The garden was lovely but the neighbours dogs barking most of the time was not and we saw them running around in the yard. We love seeing the pigs, birds, frogs and more but they can be noisy especially at night so be aware of that. Over all, it was a lovely, convenient place to getting around on the east coast, we would stay again if not because of our allergies problems.
Great house with more than enough linens, Beach towels, kitchen supplies in abundance. Our only hitch was the beds, they were a bit hard for our tastes. The house is on a big lot with huge yard. Very private and quiet!
This was my wife and i first trip to Hawaii. The house was beautiful. It was comfortable and we loved the layout. We would open the windows at night and listen to all the sounds and sleep so good. The property manager was amazing and helped us with everything we needed. I would recommend this stay to everyone. Thank you so much for a wonderful trip full of great memories.

Spacious home and clean. Our stay for 4 nights was a bit unpleasant due to the very strong musty smell, especially the 2 downstairs bedrooms. I have to buy an air freshener spray to ease the smell but didn't help much. Otherwise, easy check-in and check-out.
We are sad to leave. Please let us know if you ever want to sell the place. It was heaven on earth.
Thank you? The home was very nice and clean.
Our stay at Maluhia was OK. Primary area of interest: it was very clean!!
Otherwise, I was disappointed by the furnishings - the bedding was cheap (although the beds were decent); the living furniture was similarly cheap but also worn; the dining table was covered with a scrap of fabric that couldn't be wiped down after meals; the patio furniture was minimal; the primary kitchen "counter" was a low workbench covered with a cheap tablecloth (but it was cleanable!).
Be prepared for a rather musty smell when you first arrive. It mostly disipates after a couple of days.
Had some trouble with the gate code but the staff was very responsive and helpful.
Check out was refreshingly simple :)
During rains, the leaky gutters will drip loudly on the metal roof. They've reduced the noise by arranging rocks (which are already on the roof) so the drips fall onto them. As the rocks slip down the roof over time, they may need to be repositioned as we did.
One downstairs bedroom had a loudly out-of-balance celing fan which we had to turn off at night. While a substitute fan was provided, it was rather too large to provide the light breeze that would have been nice for sleeping. The large fan was also needed upstairs for airflow.
In summary, it was an acceptable place to stay, but we didn't *enjoy* the house.

This location is perfect for a couple of family. The home is welcoming, there’s plenty of space for privacy or a big gathering. We slept with the windows open, fell asleep with natures sound and woke up peacefully with the call of nature to let you know it’s morning. What a way to start the day with a morning coffee on the lanai followed by a great breakfast every day we were in this paradise. We love having a kitchen where we experienced all the local fresh veggies and fruits, YUM!!!The home is far enough away from the tourist area and central location to all the sites. The house is clean!!! The owner and management company was very responsive to our needs. We’ll return to this location again!!!

Four of us stayed here for one week and loved it. It is a peaceful place with lovely yard and feels like your up in the trees. Was not close to Kona, close to Hilo. Nice place to explore the Volcano park close by and everyday we explored! It is also a nice house to just relax in and be with family and friends. There are singing tree frogs and many birds that make sitting on the decks a pure delight! I feel happy and greatful to the family who has this rental listed so we cpuld have a chance to be apart, for a few days, of the breath taking HAWAII!
