Ho'o Maluhia

Headline: Amazing.
Positive: Loved the property, pool, view, everything was great. The bedrooms were very comfortable. Kitchen had everything! Would stay here again.
Negative: Check in times but get it to make sure its ready for the next group.

awesome place! the only "complaint" i would have is that in the kitchen and the living room there was not an air conditioner unit. however- i did turn on the air conditioners in the master bedroom and and spare bedroom on the first floor and i turned the fans that were on the premises and the place cooled off decently. That being said- I am from the midwest but if I was from a warmer part of the country- someone else might not have even given it a second thought. I like my place at like 65 degrees- but that is my opinion only. other than that- absolutely loved the place and if i come back to the big island- i will probably stay there again!

This home has been one of my favorite Airbnb rentals of all time. My only complaint was the sofa bed mattress. As a family of 8 we relied on the sofa bed and the mattress felt thin, and flat. Apart from that, the kitchen was stocked with anything and everything you could have needed; it even had a Kona brewery growler and coffee grinder!! The A/C in the bedroom were amazing and made sleeping at night a dream. Every room was clean and felt comfortable from check in to check out. The pool was wonderful and used every night of our stay. The upper balcony was great for our morning coffee and the grills were clean and easy to use. I would definitely rent the place again.

Beautiful property with everything this family of 5 could need! We were able to cook and it felt like home

We are a family of 6 and found the property to be an excellent choice. Communication was quick and very helpful. The kitchen was well appointed, the sleeping spaces were very comfortable. The garage was a special treat and the location was convenient to restaurants, stores and activities. Our kids spent hours in the pristine pool and the outdoor space was very comfortable. We would certainly recommend this property.

View from the back porch was really lovely. We loved watching the sunsets the evenings we were home. We appreciated too that each bedroom had a bathroom and there was another half bath on the main floor. Air conditioning in all the rooms helped keep things comfortable at night. The only thing I would mention is that the master bathroom is very open to the master bedroom so only couples should share the king bed because you can see the person showering if you’re in the bedroom.

Beautiful house in a beautiful location. Pool was lovely. View of the ocean is spectacular. House has beautiful Hawaiian art, and is comfortable for a large family. Nicely appointed. Ample storage space. Easy checkout. 100% would return.

Stunning view. Private pool. Roomy and comfortable house. Everything needed for a multigenerational family to enjoy paradise.

Thanks for sharing your home, my family had a great time there! Everything about the house was at the highest level!

When you stay at Ho’o Maluhia you know you’re in paradise! The sweeping views of the Kona coast immediately sets the tone for the day. The house is beautiful and the layout is perfect for multi- generation families, friends or a couple for a romantic get away. The 2 stories with the 3 bedrooms (each having their own bathroom) is a luxury and the 2 ground floor bedrooms with patios is a bonus. The master bedroom & bathroom is amazing, large layout with many designer features and well thought out, located on the main floor. Shared living area is spacious with quality and comfortable furniture. Kitchen is open design and well stocked with a laundry room with a commercial grade washer & dryer. Honestly, we spent most of our time on the large balcony over looking the Kona coast, enjoying meals together or outside in the beautifully landscaped backyard catching some Kona sunshine or in the pool. Location is ideal. Close to downtown and easy access to main highways to explore the island. We were a multi-generation family of 6 with 2 elementary age grandsons and stayed a week. My 8 year old grandson sums up our stay…Nana you know what my favorite thing is…..the pool! Ours was the beauty of Kona right from our balcony! The booking was easy, great communication and responsive management staff. We will definitely be back!

Everything was top notch.

Incredible view.  Kitchen had everything you need to cook, bake, etc.  Great grill on the patio.  Great starter kit supplies which consisted of laundry pods, dishwasher pods, paper towels, toilet paper. Wonderful house overall and we would absolutely stay there again.

Everything was great maybe just some instructions on the pool like if there is a light and if so, where it’s located

We had a wonderful time at this property. The location was perfect, just a quick drive into town for restaurants, shopping, and anything else we needed. It still felt peaceful and private, with beautiful views all around.The home was super clean and really well taken care of. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook family meals, which made things easy and enjoyable. The layout is a bit unique, and getting to the backyard and pool means walking through a bedroom or going around the outside of the house, but it wasn’t a big deal for our family.The pool is a little older, but it was still a great feature and the kids absolutely loved it. They spent hours swimming and playing.Overall, the house was super comfortable and had everything we needed. We had a fantastic stay and are already looking forward to coming back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Pictures don’t do it justice!

Many amenities provided and it was an easy walk to those and the beach.

A beautiful, spacious place. Many amenities provided and it was an easy walk to those and the beach.

Perfect for our family of 7 and well above our expectations. Fabulous views with different sunsets every night. Great location to activities in the Kona area. We cannot wait to stay here again!!!

We arrived an hour early and cleaners were still there so went to Safeway for groceries. The access code is timed precisely, it did not work at 3 pm, was fine at 4 pm. Beds were good, kitchen well-equipped with good selection of appliances, dishes and utensils. We were happy to use coolers, freezer packs, and beach chairs in garage. Ceiling fans were adequate and did not need AC, although they also had numerous fans and a dehumidifier, so maybe more of an issue in summer. Roku TV in living room was available. Easy access to marina, shopping, and roads.

All 7 enjoy the location, the deck, everything couldn’t have worked out better.

This property is bigger and better than the pictures. Not having A/C was never an issue for us, as the ventilation was great in the house. Incredible views, comfortable beds and a beautifully stocked kitchen. Thank you!!!

The place was great. One of the best I have ever stayed in.

As you walk in, the view is breathtaking..The house was perfect. You can be sitting on the couch or lounging by the pool and always have a beautiful panoramic view. This house also was probably one of the cleanest homes I have ever vacationed in. Plenty of privacy, almost feels like your own oasis in paradise.

Great property, awesome views, close to downtown on the water. Pool was great.

I found Elite Pacific Vacations by chance and was so happy that I did. They offered a beautiful property that was exactly as described with all the things that made Hawaii special. Private pool that was very clean, bright open home that was also clean. Home even had things that make a first night stay easy like Kona coffee, beach towels and coolers. The check in and departure process was very easy. I will use Elite Pacific Vacations for all my future travels to Hawaii from Alaska!

This home was excellent, great view convenient location. We really enjoyed our time here.

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.

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.

This property did not disappoint. We had plenty of room. Everything we could have needed was located at the property. We ate most of our meals in. Kitchen was a great place to cook and be together as family. The view was amazing. You can't just get that view anywhere. The Lani is very large, and the ocean view is in breath taking. The pool was a bit chilly, but we still used it. Amazing home. Stacey

The house was great for our family of 6!

We booked this house for Thanksgiving week to spend with family since we all live far apart. The house was big enough for all 8 of us with plenty of extra room. Overall great house.

We had a fantastic stay at this property. The view was gorgeous and the home was spacious, comfortable, clean and overall lovely. The communication through Elite Pacific to help guide us on our visit was clear and very helpful. It made getting to Hawaii stress free knowing all the details of what to expect and how to make sure we can enter the state! Post stay communication was also helpful. We would stay here again in the future.

Zero complaints... it was perfect the house has everything you need! It’s a beautiful house and most beautiful view of the sunset.

We had a great visit to Holualoa! The property was just as described in the listing and previous reviews. Check in was easy with a code on the door, and we found the house to be comfortable and well-appointed. PROS: * The view - as pictured, sweeping ocean views from the decks, the pool, and several rooms inside the house * The location - easy to get to downtown Kailua, with lots of restaurants & grocery stores and fairly central to all the other places we wanted to visit on the island. * The space - plenty of room for our family of 5 to spread out * The beds - we all slept very comfortably. The master bedroom mattress was maybe the most comfortable I’ve had at a rental home! * The garage - full use of the garage and garage door opener was a huge plus THE CONS * No air conditioning - this is as advertised, and we were comfortable most of the time, but did have a couple of days and nights that were warm and humid. The many fans were a big help, though. * Master bath layout - The master bath is large with a big shower, two sinks, and a separate toilet area with a door, but privacy is lacking. The space is wide open to the master bedroom, and there’s a window into another room. That window has a shade, but it isn’t a blackout shade, so privacy is limited. * Other layout issues - the lower level bedrooms are the main path to the pool area, one lower level bathroom has a bath but now shower, and the light switches are low and can be difficult to find Overall, a very nice place to stay. We would absolutely go back!

Nice house, nice neighborhood. Pool doesn’t get quite enough sun to warm up but it’s nice nonetheless. Quiet hours from 8pm to 8am. Beautiful views from the lanai!

The view is beautiful and the place is very spacious just as in the photos. it wasn't perfect, but was a nice stay.

Great place and great location. Rooms are a bit choppy but overall a great place.

Great communication by hosts that made our trip very easy!! House is everything as described, the view is even better, and a great location!

Beautiful and spacey!! Just like the photos and beautiful view and location. easy check in!! Perfect location

Wonderful view and location! Only suggestions would be to stock hairdryers in bathrooms! Thank you!
