Kailua Kona, Hawaii
Experience 180-degree Pacific Ocean views the minute you set foot inside this contemporary island paradise. A short walk from the entryway leads to the living room, which is fully furnished with a variety of sofas and chairs. Settle into a plush armchair indoors and take in the views of the sparkling ocean, or even better, step outside onto the lanai, where you'll find plenty of comfortable seating and views of the serene coastline.
The large, fully-equipped kitchen has everything you need and more; from all large appliances and utensils to a coffee maker, a toaster to prepare a festive meal or a light snack during your stay.

A peekaboo window with a privacy curtain can be opened, allowing you to view the majestic sunset during your shower. Upstairs you'll find a cozy bonus room that's furnished with a Queen sleeper sofa, making the perfect sleeping space for kids or single adults. A half-bathroom provides additional convenience and comfort. Venture downstairs at Ho'o Maluhia and you'll find two guest bedrooms, each with their own ensuite bathroom.

Coastline views are in abundance from south Ali'i Drive and run for miles.

Located above Kailua-Kona Village at an elevation of 700 feet, Ho'o Maluhia offers warmth and sunshine by day and temperate mountain breezes by night. The prevailing trade winds from the west over the ocean and the mountain breezes from the east create refreshing breezes for an idyllic stay. You'll never be at a loss for adventure and fun while staying at Ho'o Maluhia. A few miles down the shoreline you'll find Kahalu'u Beach State Park, a hub for the Hawaiian Sea Turtle. The Keauhou Bay area offers ocean access, scuba diving, and sailing, catamaran, fishing charters, sea kayaking, and outrigger canoeing.
Conveniently located near downtown Kailua-Kona, you'll love exploring the area and its many significant Hawaiian cultural landmarks. Both the Hulihee Palace and the Mokuaikaua Church are located on Ali'i Drive. King Kamehameha I spent his last years living near the current site of what is now the King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel, until his passing in 1819. The Ahu'ena Heiau, located on the grounds of the hotel, is a reconstructed temple rebuilt by the late king and is on the register of National Historic Landmarks.
People and cruise ships watch from the Kailua-Kona Pier, where you'll have access to Hawaii's best scuba diving, big-game fishing, kayaking, and dolphin and whale watching. Visit the famous farmers market. Enjoy a shave ice or a cup of Kona coffee. Dine on a light snack or a gourmet meal, buy an inexpensive souvenir or a piece of fine art, book an activity, go for a swim or hang out at the beach. The pier is the official starting and finishing point of the Ironman World Championship (held annually in October), and a great place to watch the sunset. Everything you want and need is readily available in the heart of Kailua Kona town.
Ho'o Maluhia is conveniently located, and a wonderful vacation home base to explore the many wonders of Hawaii including Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, Mauna Kea Observatory, coffee and macadamia nut farms, artist communities, and more.

Amazing view and location! Perfect for our family of young children and grandparents. Quiet and walkable neighborhood. Communication with the rental company was superb and easy.
We really enjoyed our stay, communication with property management was excellent. Although the age of the home showed in some areas it was pretty well-cleaned and no critters! Kitchen is really well appointed. The views were stunning and the pool offered a great space to hangout after the beach to watch the sunsets.
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.
Good stay overall. It seems like furniture, especially the couch needs some cleaning, as you can see stains on the edges. The bedsheets did not look like they were washed between visits. Everything else looked clean. The house does get really hot during the day, extending into the night, and the fans are not enough, but this is clearly stated in the description.
Property was wonderful with an excellent view and everything we needed. Pool was so nice. Neighborhood was quiet. In & Out process was straight forward and simple.
8 family members stayed at the property and we all really enjoyed it. Some reviews stated that the layout was odd but we didn’t get that feeling. Each room has a bathroom (one room has only an outdoor shower and an indoor tub) so we really liked that feature. One thing we noticed was that the QR code (on the door) and departure email I was sent differed in requirements when leaving the property. I didn’t notice the QR code until we were loading the car so we were unable to strip the beds as it said in the QR code. The email for departure didn’t mention it. So, making sure both the QR code and email match would help guests in the future. We had a really good time at this house. We’d stay again.
The house was very clean and spacious - good for a big family or two families. Well appointed kitchen. Deck and pool area were great. Loved the outdoor shower. There are no stores/restaurants within walking distance, but the house isn't a far drive from town.
Lovely common areas, pool and ocean view. Enjoyed our stay!
This property would be perfect for a winter trip to the big island. Our mid-October visit was quite humid and one of our family members was not happy that there wasn’t air conditioning. The rest of us were fine without, especially since we could cool off in the pool. The only negatives were there were only two beach towels (we asked for more and got something akin to beach towels) and the fact that in order to get to the pool, you have to walk through either bedroom or walk out the front and down the stairs to the back. And some stepping stones over the lava rocks would be preferable from the second downstairs bedroom. The sun does beat down on the back portion of the house and heats it up but it offers great sunsets.
We loved every thing
This house was big enough for my whole family. It was so relaxing and a great home while we were in Hawaii.
The kids love the pool and the mango tree very spacious and clean and comfortable. Easy access to downtown, grocery shopping and local restaurants
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.
