Ho'o Maluhia
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 dining area near the living room provides additional seating for guests. The upper deck is furnished with a barbecue grill, perfect for hosting get-togethers or a romantic dinner.
Enjoy a restful night's sleep in the primary bedroom, which is located on the upper level. A California King bed and a walk-in closet give you an abundance of space and add to the comfort of our stay at Ho'o Maluhia. The spacious ensuite bathroom features a custom shower with a dual head and a bench dual-head shower and bench, which create a spa-like experience. 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. For your ultimate privacy and enjoyment, one of the two guest rooms comes with its own outdoor shower and private outdoor breakfast nook.
Coastline views are in abundance from south Ali'i Drive and run for miles. Relax on the upper and lower lanais of this gorgeous vacation home, enjoy a barbecue with friends and family or take a swim in the newly-plastered private swimming pool, while enjoying the beauty of the ocean in perfect view.
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.

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!

Wonderful home
by Josh CThis home was excellent, great view convenient location. We really enjoyed our time here.
Great House, Great Views
by Ryan LWe 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.
Excellent and Relaxing
by Carla WThis house was big enough for my whole family. It was so relaxing and a great home while we were in Hawaii.
Beautiful scenery
by Radiance CThe kids love the pool and the mango tree very spacious and clean and comfortable. Easy access to downtown, grocery shopping and local restaurants.
Hawaii Escape
by Stacey M.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
Great Stay
by Emily GThe house was great for our family of 6!
Beautiful views
by Dora RWe 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.
Great
by Deryl GPerfect!
by F DZero complaints... it was perfect the house has everything you need! It’s a beautiful house and most beautiful view of the sunset.
Lovely place to stay
by Kate BWe 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.
Amazing stay!!! Highly recommend!
by Kimberly AGreat communication by hosts that made our trip very easy!! House is everything as described, the view is even better, and a great location!
