Hale Maluhia - Cottage with expansive ocean views in central Kailua Kona.

Great location for all Kona activities….amazing views

The stay was amazing. I would definitely stay here again. Super private! A nice quiet getaway packed with paradise views and only a 10 minutes from downtown Kona.The place was a great size for two people. Had everything I needed plus more.The host was proactive in her communication and quick to respond. This place is a gem, with so muchblife

Cute cottage that has the feel of a loft. It’s light and airy with lovely views and nice outdoor seating. I always love when we are on an island and the host has beach chairs to take to the beach! Thank you for the amenities, treats and coffee…and the use of your lovely cottage. Mahalo!!

From the minute we arrived at this charming, well-kept cottage, we knew we had lucked out. The view is stunning—and my husband and I spent some of the happiest hours of our trip sitting on the deck, sipping Kona coffee (thank you, Esther!), and listening to birdsong.

Absolutely the best sunset views in kona

Fabulous! Hosts were very attentive to details and anticipated everything we may have needed! Perfect for a couple, great lanai, views, and the sounds of nature.

Esther’s cottage is amazing! Absolutely perfect. Super cute, comfortable bed, and let’s talk about the ocean view! Minutes from everything you want to do in Kailua Kona area yet away from the hustle & bustle. We will for sure be back ! Mahalo Esther for sharing your little slice of heaven with us!

We just returned from a wonderful stay at Hale Maluhia, and we can't recommend it highly enough. Ester was a fantastic host, and everything about the cottage was exactly as described—and more.The amenities made our stay incredibly comfortable, and the cottage itself is thoughtfully designed down to every detail. From the artwork and beautiful design touches to the high-quality linens and furnishings, everything felt intentional, welcoming, and special. We truly had everything we needed.The expansive ocean and valley views were fantastic, and we especially loved enjoying peaceful morning coffee and relaxing evenings on the large covered lanai. The space felt private and serene, surrounded by lush greenery—perfect for unwinding.The location was also ideal: easy access to great restaurants and local beaches we love, while still feeling quiet and tucked away. This cottage strikes the perfect balance between convenience and tranquility.We would absolutely stay here again and look forward to returning to this special property in the future.

Wonderful stay at such a beautiful property that had everything needed for a perfect visit to Kona and Big Island. The location is great for exploring the Big Island and views are amazing. Excellent communication with our hosts who were so welcoming, thank you for sharing this lovely property with us! Highly recommend staying here and would love to stay again

Beautiful view on a gorgeous one acre garden. Daniel and Esther are excellent hosts.

Beautifully appointed and designed cottage with breathtaking views, meticulously clean, and a great and convenient location in the hills above Kailua-Kona. Equipped with everything one may need for cooking and grilling and all other amenities, including equipment for beach visits. Super comfortable bed in which you wake up looking at luscious greenery and the Ocean. And a very welcoming and proactively communicating and responsive host who greeted us with delicious coffee and chocolate covered macademia nuts. Thank you, Esther, for this all around wonderful vacation in your great home!

Everything was great and the views were beautiful. Very peaceful as well.

While the location was great and views of ocean great, overall place could have been a bit cleaner. The back deck where the dining table was located was visibly dirty. While I realize this is a covered outdoor space, a thorough sweeping of the deck was greatly needed

Most tourists opt for the resort experience and don't bother to get to know what it's like to live in that part of the world. Staying here give you a chance to see what it would be like to live on the Big Island. Be aware that you will have a more rural experience. That means night birds calling, hearing the rain at night and not fighting crowds for everything. I recommend it highly.
