  • Apr 20, 2026 View from the back porch was really lovely. We loved watching the sunsets the evenings we were home. We appreciated too that each bedroom had a bathroom and there was another half bath on the main floor. Air conditioning in all the rooms helped keep things comfortable at night. The only thing I would mention is that the master bathroom is very open to the master bedroom so only couples should share the king bed because you can see the person showering if you’re in the bedroom.

  • Mar 25, 2026 Stunning view. Private pool. Roomy and comfortable house. Everything needed for a multigenerational family to enjoy paradise. Guest
  • Mar 25, 2026 Beautiful house in a beautiful location. Pool was lovely. View of the ocean is spectacular. House has beautiful Hawaiian art, and is comfortable for a large family. Nicely appointed. Ample storage space. Easy checkout. 100% would return. Jennifer J
  • Mar 17, 2026 Thanks for sharing your home, my family had a great time there! Everything about the house was at the highest level! Armen B
  • Feb 22, 2026 When you stay at Ho’o Maluhia you know you’re in paradise! The sweeping views of the Kona coast immediately sets the tone for the day. The house is beautiful and the layout is perfect for multi- generation families, friends or a couple for a romantic get away. The 2 stories with the 3 bedrooms (each having their own bathroom) is a luxury and the 2 ground floor bedrooms with patios is a bonus. The master bedroom & bathroom is amazing, large layout with many designer features and well thought out, located on the main floor. Shared living area is spacious with quality and comfortable furniture. Kitchen is open design and well stocked with a laundry room with a commercial grade washer & dryer. Honestly, we spent most of our time on the large balcony over looking the Kona coast, enjoying meals together or outside in the beautifully landscaped backyard catching some Kona sunshine or in the pool. Location is ideal. Close to downtown and easy access to main highways to explore the island. We were a multi-generation family of 6 with 2 elementary age grandsons and stayed a week. My 8 year old grandson sums up our stay…Nana you know what my favorite thing is…..the pool! Ours was the beauty of Kona right from our balcony! The booking was easy, great communication and responsive management staff. We will definitely be back! Sandra B
  • Feb 01, 2026 Everything was top notch. William L
  • Jan 02, 2026 Everything was great Everything was great maybe just some instructions on the pool like if there is a light and if so, where it’s located Guest
  • Jan 02, 2026 Incredible view. Incredible view. Kitchen had everything you need to cook, bake, etc. Great grill on the patio. Great starter kit supplies which consisted of laundry pods, dishwasher pods, paper towels, toilet paper. Wonderful house overall and we would absolutely stay there again. Jana F
  • Aug 02, 2025 We had a wonderful time at this property. The location was perfect, just a quick drive into town for restaurants, shopping, and anything else we needed. It still felt peaceful and private, with beautiful views all around.The home was super clean and really well taken care of. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook family meals, which made things easy and enjoyable. The layout is a bit unique, and getting to the backyard and pool means walking through a bedroom or going around the outside of the house, but it wasn’t a big deal for our family.The pool is a little older, but it was still a great feature and the kids absolutely loved it. They spent hours swimming and playing.Overall, the house was super comfortable and had everything we needed. We had a fantastic stay and are already looking forward to coming back! Leslie S
  • Jul 23, 2025 We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Pictures don’t do it justice! Julie P

  • Apr 17, 2025 This property was just fantastic. Perfect for our family of 7 and well above our expectations. Fabulous views with different sunsets every night. Great location to activities in the Kona area. We cannot wait to stay here again!!! Phil L
  • Apr 09, 2025 We would rent this property again. We arrived an hour early and cleaners were still there so went to Safeway for groceries. The access code is timed precisely, it did not work at 3 pm, was fine at 4 pm. Beds were good, kitchen well-equipped with good selection of appliances, dishes and utensils. We were happy to use coolers, freezer packs, and beach chairs in garage. Ceiling fans were adequate and did not need AC, although they also had numerous fans and a dehumidifier, so maybe more of an issue in summer. Roku TV in living room was available. Easy access to marina, shopping, and roads. William A
  • Jan 09, 2025 All 7 enjoy the location, the deck, everything couldn’t have worked out better. fred K
  • Jul 17, 2024 This property is bigger and better than the pictures. Not having A/C was never an issue for us, as the ventilation was great in the house. Incredible views, comfortable beds and a beautifully stocked kitchen. Thank you!!! David D
  • Jun 28, 2024 The place was great. One of the best I have ever stayed in. Gary S
  • Jun 01, 2024 As you walk in, the view is breathtaking..The house was perfect. You can be sitting on the couch or lounging by the pool and always have a beautiful panoramic view. This house also was probably one of the cleanest homes I have ever vacationed in. Plenty of privacy, almost feels like your own oasis in paradise. Robert M
  • Mar 28, 2024 Great property, awesome views, close to downtown on the water. Pool was great. John L
  • Nov 09, 2023 We loved the property as it was easy to find and lovely location. Views and sunsets were amazing and made us feel humbled to be in this location. Even when it rained we were able to sit on the upper deck and take in the sights and sounds. Lots of birds singing at night and we would laugh at the clapping palm tree. We will be back. Nicole K
  • Dec 22, 2022 Lovely common areas, pool and ocean view. Enjoyed our stay! Patricia T
  • Aug 08, 2022 Great House, Great Views We loved our stay at this house. The house was clean, spacious, and just as advertised. The kitchen was well-equipped with complimentary water and coffee. The beds and furniture were comfortable. There were beach supplies available for a day at the beach. The outdoor deck and unobstructed views of the water were made for morning coffee and meals. We were concerned about there not being air conditioning, but it was not needed even on warm days. We were sad to leave and definitely would come back. Ryan L
