About this property

Melelina Hale Large four bedroom with pool, ocean views, and AC!

Perfect for families! This house has four bedrooms and four bathrooms, two living areas, two dining areas, and TWO covered lanais. Enough room for everyone to have some space! Check out the new kitchen! New cabinets, granite counter tops, and stainless steel appliances.

Located on the gentle slope of Hualalai, just enough elevation to feel the cooling afternoon breezes.

Imagine relaxing by the pool listening to the soothing waterfall. You can grill up that local fish and dine outside in the gazebo. Your senses will enjoy the lovely yard with tropical flowers and plants.

Time for sunset? Grab your traditional sunset cocktail and relax while soaking up the beautiful ocean views from your TWO lanais.

Only five minutes to Kailua town, full of shopping and great restaurants, and even closer for groceries and the health food store.

You may just stay by the pool all day, but if you do decide to go to the beach we have lots of toys, towels, beach chairs, and coolers for you to use.

The house was wonderful! We were all impressed by how clean it was. There was enough space for our whole family to spread out and be comfortable. The kitchen was completely stocked with everything we needed. We sat up on the balcony every night and watched beautiful sunsets. The best part of the house was the pool. The kids wanted to spend their whole vacation in it. We would definitely stay here again!

Great family home
This was a great home for my family’s Hawaiian vacation. Very convenient location to everything in the Kona area. Quiet neighborhood just a couple blocks from a main road. Very well supplied kitchen. Plenty of room for a large group. Would definitely stay here again (my had stayed here previously with her friends).

The house was fantastic. It is in a great location just a short drive from lots of restaurants and other activities in downtown Kona. The house was very well stocked with everything we needed. The views from the back lanai and front porches was of phenomenal sunsets everyday. I highly recommend it.

Hawaii Home
Melelina Hale is a home away form home. The listing for this house is precise and the host, Rachel, is exceptional. The home is equipped with the essentials plus more and the space was ample. We were able to make dinners at the house as desired. The days we did not travel or go to a beach, we stayed at the house and enjoyed the outdoor pool area. The home met all of our needs and was very comfortable. We traveled from Western New York and our frends were from France. Our European friends have stayed with us at VRBO/vacation homes in the past and this by far was the best!

Family vacation
Absolutely Fabulous! My husband and I and our 3 kids, 29, 30, 31 and their partners. They gave me their feedback haha. There was so many plates and dishes and there was everything that we could ever need. And I had to say that first because our oldest is always travelling and she said that she doesn't always find that. You just had to open a cupboard or drawer and there was what you needed. The location is fantastic and only 10 min away from a fun night life. Rachel was always available to answer any questions we had. 10 out of 10 for us!

Amazing anniversary getaway!
We were so pleased with the house and was a great place to relax after venturing out on the island during the day. The location and view was perfect we couldn't have picked a better place to celebrate our 25th anniversary. The house had everything we needed, and then some and communication with the host was great. We would definitely love to go back again!

Felt like home in paradise
We just got home and our family expressed how much they had missed our time spent in the house! The house revealed itself as immaculate and significantly more spacious in person, surpassing what the pictures had portrayed. The kitchen proved to be equipped with an extensive array of cookware, dishes, utensils, along with a well-stocked selection of ingredients and spices, perfectly accommodating our large family’s culinary needs. The dual balconies offered breathtaking views of the ocean and the sunset, a sight that truly left us in awe. Situated conveniently close to the beaches, shopping outlets, restaurants, as well as major stores like Costco and Walmart, the location couldn’t have been more ideal. Our arrival was greeted with delightful assortment of our favorite fruits including avocados, papayas, and pineapple. Even during our exploration of other parts of the island, my family’s desire to return early to enjoy the house’s pool. Rachel, we want to convey our sincere gratitude for your generosity and in accommodating our early arrival. We eagerly look forward to more extended stay at your home when we revisit Kona. Thank you for a memorable family vacation experience!

8 Night Stay
The house was great except for the AC, which didn't work properly for 4.5 out of 8 days. The problem was reported on Day 1 when we checked in and again on Day 4 when the temperature was simply intolerable. The problem was blamed on abnormally high temperatures, global warming, climate change, etc., but ended up being a clogged drain with an automatic shutoff and very low freon. On Day 5 of 8, the AC was fixed and worked Great! BTW: the owner did offer a refund if I opted to move to a hotel, but we had already spent heavily on provisions with nowhere to keep them. It was a generous offer, but I would have been much happier if the AC had been checked out prior to our arrival.

Amazing family home
We LOVED this house. The pool and yard are beautiful. The kids had so much fun the pool. Everything you need is there including tons of beach towels, beach chairs, toys, umbrellas and coolers. The house has 2 beautiful lanais to watch the sunset. Did I mention a view of the ocean? There's also amazing living space featuring a room with a TV and a "quiet room " for those who would rather read. I truly hope to rent this house again.

Great place for 2 families
This property was perfect for us. We were 2 families with children (8 people total) and there was so much room for us to spread out. The house was way bigger than we expected! The location was great, close to all Kona has to offer but in a quiet neighbourhood. We used all the pool toys, beach toys, snorkel gear and the coolers were so awesome to pack lunches for days we decided to venture out and explore the island. The kitchen was incredibly well appointed - we had everything we needed to cook most of our meals at home. Amazing place, would definitely choose Rachel’s property again!

Tropical Paradise!
Melelina Hale was the perfect getaway location for our little extended family. Pictures of the home on the VRBO website did not disappoint. Plenty of space for all to gather together or to find a quiet area to relax and read. Host Rachel quickly responded to any questions or concerns. The house was well stocked with necessities which was so appreciated. We are already missing sunsets on the lanai! Mahalo Rachel

About the host

Host profile image
We purchased this beautiful home so we can come together with all our families and enjoy quality time together. And of course, the kids love the pool!

Why they chose this property

This house is in a great neighborhood on a corner lot. So close to town, yet has such a private feeling that you can't get with a condominium. A perfect combination!

What makes this property unique

Whether it is sitting by the pool watching the kids play or relaxing on the lanais with the beautiful ocean views, there is a true feeling of Hawaii.
