Wonderful Vacation

This is a wonderful home to stay in. Very quiet and safe, and a nice comfortable size. Our hosts Melia, Sam and wonderful little Ginger Are The Best You Could Ever Ask For. Kona Palisades has all the amenities for a relaxing vacation. It was hard to leave each day to explore the Island. Nice kitchen stocked with everything you need and a full-sized refrigerator with good ice maker. It is only a few minutes away from great beaches and places to see. We enjoyed the wonderful view of the Ocean and fantastic sunsets that reflect in the beautiful infinity pool. I miss talking with Melia everyday and learning about the Island and different places to check out. All the wonderful fruit that she shared with us is grown on the property. There is great beach gear to use, chairs, sun umbrellas, snorkel equip., ice chests, great big towels, just to list a few items, and swim equipment for the pool. The infinity pool is incredible, and sitting on the lanai overlooking the pool and enjoying breakfast with the beautiful views of the morning sky and ocean was great. The time went by to fast. Can’t wait to return.

Kona Vacation

The host was nice and had everything we needed to prep some of our own food to save money. The outdoor space was a nice place to spend the afternoon and the pool was clean and cooling. They had all the beach essentials like chairs, umbrellas, and gear for the ocean. Would definitely stay there again.

A Piece of Paradise

We have been to the island many times and usually stay in the heart of Kailua Kona, but we decided to change it up this trip. We are so happy we did! The location of this property is fantastic. You are so close to Kona, Costco, the upper highway and the beaches. The rental was so incredibly well equipped with everything you could could need. We loved that after a day on the beach that we could go back and the temperature is cooler. The views from the lanai are amazing. We could see the whales from there. Melia and Sam were great hosts. They are so nice and personable. They fresh fruit was great too! This is really a fantastic spot to relax and recharge! The pictures don’t do it justice! We will definitely be back to this property!

Perfect

This is a sweet spot with cool nights due to the higher elevation. Very close to the best beaches in Kona - also close to the airport, Costco and the good restaurants in Kailua. The view here is better than advertised, the infinity pool is stunning and we slept well with ample fans and comfy beds. The lanai is great for morning coffee, afternoon relaxing or evening drinks - the only sound we heard was from the birds. Great for a family or two couples. The host, although living above us, was amazing at balancing privacy and attention when we needed anything. They have everything you’ll need for the beach including towels, boogie boards, kids toys, bags, coolers and snorkel gear. There is no stove-top in the kitchen but we were allowed to use the huge new grill on the lanai for fish, burgers and veggies. A plug in stove top is also available for making Mac n cheese for kids. I honestly didn’t miss or need a stove and we cooked most nights. The kitchen is well stocked for whatever you want to prepare - and frankly an oven is not very useful in Hawaii. 5 stars all the way, we hope to be back next year.

Peaceful, relaxing

What a wonderful host Melia is! Kona Palisades is on the lower floor of a two-story home. Despite the owners (hosts) living upstairs -they were NOT intrusive- we truly felt we had a separate living space; their deck provided shade for the lanai off the unit. We felt the cost was fair. Rental has a well-stocked "kitchenette" (no stove or dishwasher) yet a full-sized refrigerator. We rented in early October, with daytime high temperatures in the low 80-degree range. There is no central a/c, (we didn't want to hole up in a climate-controlled rental!) yet a sufficient amount of large ceiling fans doing a fine job of keeping the unit from being stifling. Best of all, every window has insulated drapes, giving us the option to block out direct sunlight when necessary. It is a clean and maintained unit, though it is worn. In particular, the living room couch cushions slid and were uncomfortable when sitting for long periods of time. Also, a problem with the internet connection to the TV was never resolved but we used the 55'ish" Smart TV as a large monitor with our laptops, to stream our apps. My favorite pastime was hanging out on the spacious lanai with my Kindle, having direct access to the infinity pool, and a wonderful view of the coastline! When it was time to escape the sun & humidity and return indoors, the west facing windows & large sliding glass door brought the outdoors inside. Forget other rentals; Kona Palisades provided all we needed w/o foot traffic noise of hotels!

Dreamy, beautiful place

You could not imagine a more lovely place and more wonderful host than Melia and her home. The pictures simply do not do justice to the magnitude of the beauty. We awoke every morning and had coffee as we gazed at the Pacific, listening to a symphony of birds (and thankfully, far fewer roosters than most other places we have stayed). Melia has a really genuine and warm sense of hospitality, and you feel this at a human level and also in what a generous and thoughtful host she is. The place itself is really, really nice, has everything you need and has *nice* things - like fluffy towels and nice sheets and great cooking gear. She also has everything you need for the beach, and the place is only 20 minutes from our favorite beach. Also 20 minutes from hiking in the cloud forest. And if you don’t want to go anywhere, you can hang out on the lanai and enjoy the incredible pool, and views. We will most certainly be back - to see Melia again (and her sweet little dog) and because this is a fantastic place to stay.

Tranquil Paradise

My husband and I spent a week here and loved every day of our stay. The pictures do not do the outdoor spaces justice - the pool area is expansive and perfect for sunbathing and taking in the sights of the coast below you. Melia was a generous and gracious host and even went so far as to leave us a gift to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a rental in the Kona area.

About the host

Hosted by Melia Scranton

Host profile image
I grew up in Hawaii on the island of Oahu. Since leaving for college, I always hoped to one day return to my favorite island- the BIG ISLAND!
So now we have this home to share and hope you'll love it as much as we do.
I have 4 grown children and retired from teaching at the elementary school level in Multi-Arts...visual art, vocal music, theater and dance.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property because of the breezes and the sweeping view of the coast. It was quiet, convenient and a lovely new development.

What makes this property unique

It is so close to the airport (down the hill by 7 min) and so close to Costco (7 min.) and to Kailua- Kona. Up near the Mamalahoa Hwy., it is convenient to go to Waimea/Kamuela or over to the Hilo side. The beaches are all close!
