Mele Nani in Volcano, Hawaii is our sweet two bedroom, one full bathroom vacation home. Our favorite spot is the hanging lounger on the covered, front lanai. Gently rock to the bird song all around while sipping your morning coffee. We offer a small wood burning fireplace for chilly evenings. The living room has a comfy sofa, chair, flat screen TV for streaming your favorite channels and free WiFi. Our custom kitchen is full of appliances, cookware and dishes for cooking local produce til your heart's content. The full bathroom has a bathtub and shower combo that we stock with a starter supply of soaps, detergents, and paper products for our guests.

Please note: Some mapping software shows the correct location but indicates that the address is in Kailua-Kona. IT IS NOT. The house is in Volcano near the National Park entrance.

Located in the Ohia Estates neighborhood, Mele Nani, is less than a 10 minute drive to the famed Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and about a 40 minute drive into Hilo. We provide local recommendations (Things To Do and Restaurants!) in a binder located in the home. Volcano Village has a few wonderful restaurants and fantastic galleries. Within an hour's drive you can experience dashing waterfalls, craggy hikes around dormant volcanoes, daring ocean cliff outlooks, vibrant cultural shops and restaurants, and most of the world's varied climate zones. We recommend staying at least a week and packing light layers and sturdy shoes to get the full 'Big Island' adventure. E komo mai (welcome)!

What to Bring: Volcano can be chilly at night and when it rains so pack a few long layers and sturdy hiking shoes to maximize your enjoyment of our location! We stock fire wood and a starter supply of essentials like toilet paper, paper towels, detergent and soaps. While we do not stock shampoo, sunscreen, or bug repellant there may be some left by previous guests that you're welcome to use.

Book with confidence—this is a licensed, legal vacation rental managed by professionals with decades of local experience. Always double check that you are booking a place that is operating legally in Hawaii - no surprises, just aloha!

    Close to Volcano National Park. Convenient to Hilo (east) and South Point (west) Quiet location, safe neighborhood. Comfortable, good bed and handy kitchen. The wood fireplace was very appreciated. Two weeks of seeing a lot, and doing nothing.

    We very much enjoyed this stay. Great location for visiting Volcanoes National Park. The property is very well maintained and equipped.Two suggestions:Bathtub is very slippery when showering, a mat in the tub would be beneficial. As the washer and dryer are in an attached shed tha can only be accessed from outside of the house, a laundry basket would be very helpful.

    This was a great location for spending more time at the volcano and sites nearby. The house and neighborhood were as expected. We enjoyed the sounds of birds and frogs, with daily rain showers. Be prepared for cooler temps due to elevation. We are experienced with wood stoves but found this unit very difficult to get started and keep burning( some fat wood might be useful). Luckily, there was a plug in heater available and used instead of the woodstove. Overall the unit is as described. Only other item to note, the stove/ oven could really do with updating. I did have to revise my cooking plans slightly when the oven would not heat above 275. Other than that no issues. We enjoyed our stay and would book again.

    Great place to stay. Very close to Volcano National Park. You’re in the rain forest so it’s cooler and misty at times but beautiful plants surrounding the house. Porch area is nice addition. Very clean, check-in super easy, wi-fi great, kitchen very well stocked. Communication was exceptional especially since our arrival coincided with the tsunami warning. Super quiet area.

    This property is perfect if you’re visiting volcano national park. We were able to get into the park in a few minutes once the volcano started erupting with zero wait. By the time we left there were cars lined up down the highway. The house itself is peaceful and very relaxing. We would definitely stay here again.

    Communication lacked days prior to arrival and during our stay as well. There was ONLY salt, pepper and some old plastic non-labeled bottle of what was probably oil in the kitchen. We needed more towels for the length of our stay. I knew nothing of having to open/close and use the gate code during out stay. Everything was clean!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay. The house was perfect for our family of 4 and had everything we needed to be comfortable. We loved being able to experience the village of Volcano at such a charming house. It was clean and extremely well kept, and we enjoyed the lanai out front. The location to the Volcanoes National Park was amazing; such a unique area of the island. We are glad we were able to stay and not just do a day trip.

    Great location close to Volcano NP. We monitored the USGS webcam and saw Episode 22 just beginning so we hopped in the car and were at the overlook moments later. We did not have to jockey for a position or circle looking for a parking space. The sound of the coquis at night was very comforting. The fireplace kept the chill away in the evenings. After the hike to the green sand beach, a relaxing shower w instant-on hot water was a pleasure. The lunchtime fresh poke in Hilo at Poke to Your Taste was awesome and of course mochis from Two Ladies in Hilo is a must.

    We had an amazing stay with this property! The location is perfect—just a short drive to Volcano National Park, making it super convenient for exploring. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, allowing us to fully relax after a day of adventure. The home itself is clean, modern, and well-maintained, with all the amenities we needed. One of our favorite features was the old wood fireplace, which added so much charm and kept us warm during the cool evenings at this elevation. The outside full-size hanging swing bed is the most comfortable place to relax. If you’re looking for a cozy, comfortable, and well-located stay near the park, this is the perfect spot. Highly recommend!

    This was a great property between Hilo, Kilauea, and Punalu'u Beach. The property had everything we needed to make meals and we loved the separate twin beds for the kids. So nice being so close to the volcano, it made for easy access and a short drive after a day of hiking. Everyone loved the day bed on the porch and the wildlife that came to visit.

    My husband and I stayed at this beautiful cottage / house for four nights in September. We absolutely loved it. It's sparkling clean, and fully equipped with everything we needed. We did our own cooking, without eating out, so we really appreciated the kitchen. The owners put together a great manual with various procedures, activity recommendations, and more. The location is peaceful and perfect for visiting the National Park, Hilo, and the coast.
